To be impeached in the house, i dont think hes going to be convicted in the senate, whos going to use that in the 2020 election? i think the right answer is, both sides. history will tell us who ultimately is the victor but history, if you look over not just a few years but decades and if you look beyond the u.s., shows us these impeachment proceedings can be politically ruinous for people. i dont think it will be in this case but it tell means its worth it for congress to look at the constituti...

For impeachment. they might even have said stuff like, we dont like president trump or we think that hes sexist or we disagree with the things he says or we dont like the way he treats or we dont like the way he handled stuff with ukraine, but when it got to the pivotal question which is should this be an impeachable offense, many didnt think so and many didnt think it would work in the senate anyway and it is a waste of time and money. thats a cautionary tale that nancy pelosi was saying for a ...

This is an incredibly important issue. of the president, which you dont want to talk about at all, has actually done what we said he has done and 12 witnesses said he did do exactly what he thought he did which was leverage taxpayer money to try to pressure ukraine into doing investigations to serve his personal political purposes that is an incredible threshold to democracy and im not going to turn a blind eye. leland: we only have 15 seconds. i take what you are saying is today you are yes on ...

That target only a few hundred people. and democrats especially say that allows a political party or candidate to spread disinformation but unseen by the larger public. so its likely that at the very least facebook will sort of raise the threshold of how many people have to see an ad making it more likely it will come under scrutiny. >> sandra: here we are a year out from the next election and this is going to play a key role. the way we use social media in our election process today has changed...

They go -- they waffle on that. so i think that tells me its a placeholder. youre sort of parking your car there and waiting from a spark from other candidates. that may resonate. >> i think were going to see this -- i will say that i think even -- vng harris and booker are over the threshold even if you shrunk down four or five candidates. i think theyre still over the threshold enough even if there was a main consolidation, but i think its inevitable that we are going to see that ratcheted dow...

Articles of impeachment. that committee will hold a markup review of all of these articles. before sending them to the house for a debate and a vote. a simple majority roughly 218 members is then needed to impeach in the house. if that happens the senate holds a trial with the chief justice of the supreme court presiding. senators vote whether to convict or acquit the president. its a super majority. if all 100 senators are present, 67 would need to vote to conflict. if that threshold is met, th...

Cory booker or kamala harris that is not factoring in the polling. because i talked to plenty of boomer black people that if you called them and asked them who would you support and they would probably say biden. but if you asked the follow-up question, are you excited? they go -- they waffle on that. so i think that tells me its a placeholder. youre sort of parking your car there and waiting from a spark from other candidates. >> i think were going to see this -- i will say that i think even --...

Happen, what has happened, and e decisions before the votes go down. listen, you have critics out there that you may have an unfair advantage on this a debate stage. max burns says, "its a perverse state of affairs in the democratic party when a public servant of the policy chops as julian castro misses the debates threshold but billionaire vanity candidate tom steyer can hi its way onto the stage." how do you respond? >> i think there is a very serious question here for everybody running to be ...

>> i yield back. >> that concludes the 45 minute rounds. we will now go to member questioning. i will recognize myself for 5 minutes. first, as a threshold, i want to say to the witnesses to be a bit cautious when members represent, "are you aware of this fact, are you aware of that fact? you know so-and-so testified to this were about?" if you have personal knowledge of it, thats fine. sometimes numbers get it wrong, so let me just clear the record on one of the things that was suggested to you...

With ambassador sondland, president trump did speak with president zelensky, as you referred, and certainly the president made it clear to president zelensky that he cared about the biden investigation. now, neither of you did listen to this call, but as you testified you both read it subsequent to its publication. dr. hill, you, during your time, two and a half years in the white house, listened to a number of presidential phone calls, is that right? >> thats right. >> can you estimate approxim...
