From the Mueller Report would be unsupportable in the house and unsustainable in the senate. Do you remember writing that . Yes, i do. Why did you write that . Because i think its true. The fact is this was reviewed by main justice. The special counsel did not reach a conclusion and he should have. I think his justification quite frankly was a bit absurd not reaching a conclusion. The Deputy Attorney general did, and they came to the right conclusion. I dont think this is a real case for obstruction. But then this body would be impeaching the president on the basis of the in verse conclusion. I dont believe it would be appropriate. The gentlemans time is expired. Miss dean. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Words matter. In my earlier life i was a professor of writing. I taught my students to be careful and clear about what they put to paper. That is a lesson the framers of our constitution understood far better than anyone. They were laying the foundation for a new form of government, one that
allowing progressive democrats like a alexandria because cortez to take her mantle. let s bring in a republican congressman from texas, you said they have utterly failed to provide evidence of an impeachable offense. is there nothing the president did with ukraine that bothers you? thanks for having me on, glad to be on your show. this is one of those things where i believe that it s important to remember the founders didn t give us recall elections, they didn t give us votes of no confidence, they gave us a process of high crimes and misdemeanors. the democrats have not presented a case in which you have evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors. we do join with them americans and sing wasn t a perfect call? you can say it wasn t a perfect call but still come to the conclusion that the president didn t do anything that rises to a high crime or misdemeanor. i think it was rightly looking into what was going on in
that s pretty decent ground for them to be arguing on going forward rather than this was a perfect call. did you hear one republican agree with him? no. that it wasn t a perfect call. nothat s what s so amazing. the degree to which we no longer have a republican party as john boehner has said, we have a trump party, not one of them even granted this was a less than perfect phone call. tu turley, to his credit acknowledged this was a problem, although not grounds for impeachment. and not one single republican in that big cast of characters out there, acknowledged the less than perfect nature. do you think attitudes were changed among democrats and republicans? people came with strongly held views. it looks to me like they re leaving with those strongly held views. the people on that committee,
the intel committee. well, it s very clear that the republicans never had facts that they could rally around that could in any way exonerate the conduct of the president, so they have been a little schizophrenic in terms of how they ve run around with various defenses. frankly they are handcuffed by every time the president getting angry every time someone says it wasn t a perfect call. these guys have tiptoed out and said yeah, it wasn t good, and then all hell breaks loose in terms of the president getting upset that they re not saying it s a perfect call. there s nothing wrong with them getting me to investigate my opponent. it s that loyalty. if i can just go back to david ignatius s point about the military. i think one of the things we ve got to mention today is something that i didn t think
hue hewitt. i m surprised they don t want to address the facts of this important and consequential matter. and then the president of the united states has indicated certain words that need to be used. every week on my show for the five-plus years it was on, i would give an award for the best call of the week. i ve given it six straight weeks for the president and his perfect call. he wants hosts and american people to say it s a perfect call. and i make fun of that, because it wasn t a perfect call. it s not a hoax. it s not a sham. i m really disturbed by words that could lead to violence like coup or civil war. come on, people. let s just analyze the facts. i reached out to salem radio and asked for comment, like 3:00 in the morning. i haven t heard anything back. have you heard from your former bosses? no. it s pretty starting while i m talking about the association of donald trump, paul manafort,
