Ukraine to announce investigations beneficial to his reelection l campaign and obstructed congress when he ordered witnesses to defy subpoenas in the impeachment inquiry. Lets bring in columnist and Deputy Editor Dan Henninger and kim extrakim strassel and big b. The report said the president abused his power in a way that jeopardized National Security and the intel gritty of our elections inte integrity of r elections. Did it jeopardize security . Even in the worst case scenario, if you believe he threatened to do this paul the way it was provided. The way it was provided. Its interesting that the witnesses against him support the policy i think you and i would support of lethal weaponry for ukraine which was stronger than the policy he inherited. Paul from barack obama. Im in the camp where it was unseemly but not criminal or impeachable. Paul kim, what about the integrity of elections point . Thats a key argument that the democrats are making. Well, look, i think the problem with th
Republicans plan to push back. Democrats are saying the fix is in. Conducting a trial in the senate is enormous. Democrats trying to push the proposal what the trial would look like. To engage the trial without facts coming out is to engage in a coverup. Chuck schumer hopes it will game republican support. Do they want a fair, honest trial that examines the facts or a trial that doesnt let facts come out. Trials have witnesses. Thats what trials are all about. In a letter to Mitch Mcconnell, schumer called for subpoenas to be issued for four witnesses that have direct knowledge of the ukraine affair. Acting chief of staff, mick mulvaney, rob blair, Budget Office official Mike Mcduffie and john bolton who allegedly called what the envoys were doing in ukraine a drug deal. Each of them will have information to share about charges made by the house, information that no one has heard at this point. Sources say mcconnell doesnt want witnesses, working in lock step with white House Counsel o
Impeachment begins. The president goes exaggerating, making things up, just one article. No democrat would say that is been impeaching him since day one, would they . Here is nancy pelosi, two days ago. One of the biggest criticisms of the process is speed the House Democrats are moving. Seriously speed . Been going on for 22 months, 21 2 years, actually. She just admitted it. Last night house judiciary chair jerry nadler admitted democrats are pursuing impeachment because it is too dangerous to let the American People pick the next president in 2020. Why is this necessary now . Why do we need to impeach the president . Why not let the next election handle it . If we do not respond to President Trumps abuses are power, the abuses will continue. We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems when the president threatens the very integrity of that election. That is interesting f. This push fails, make no mistake, democrats will find another excuse to launch another impeachment effor
Program. Plus, we will have action to the democrats and sanity. Ukrainian conspiracy theory, impeachment coup attempt and how illegitimate and frankly almost laughable what it has now descended into come articles of impeachment. We will try to do the impossible in detail each and every single lie from that guy. We will expose him. He is compromised, corrupt and a general layer appeared weak tonight we prove it. But first as we have been telling you over two and half years, our top story tonight the single biggest abuse of power scandal, Corruption Scandal in american political history, our countrys most powerful tools of intelligence were weaponized against a private citizen and a president ial campaign, 18, and all 20162017. We will write from a trip President Trump was right. Attorney general barr was right. Spying occurred. We told you the mob didnt believe it, but it is all true. Take a look. Do you still stand by your statement that the campaign was spied upon . It was clearly spi
Hearings. How is the white house responding . Reporter like you said, it is 50 of registered voters who believe that President Trump should be impeached and removed from office. That is more registers voters in this poll than those who say the president should not be impeached and removed from office. The biggest takeaway is the fact that this remains unchanged from before these public hearings. That could be concerning to some democrats who feel they were not able to convince enough of the American Public to get behind impeachment. The president has responded. Heres the tweet where he says the fox news poll always inaccurate are heavily weighted towards democrats. So ridiculous. Same thing happened in 2016. They got it all wrong. Get a new pollster. This is of course a familiar refrain from the president wherever whenever he sees a poll that he does not like. He is going to attack that despite the fact that there is a Silver Lining for republicans which is the fact that that polling r
