Digest, whether youre an expert in this or not. >> david, to you. listen to christopher wolf. heres how he sees it. >> im not at all surprised. theyve been trying to impeach this president since literally before he was inaugurated, and wolf, i think theyre going to regret it. they announced this rather than wait less than 24 hours to read the transcript and see if theres a reason for this. ms. pelosi came on and unequivocally said this president has broken his oath of office. he has betrayed nat...

Comment on that complaint before it was sent to the appropriate members of congress. the dni understood he didnt have the option of tell the inspector general not to forward that information or circumventing that process in any way. what you have here is extremely unusual. i should say wolf, that after reading tdnis, i take a different take on his role in this. i think he found himself in a difficult situation when he was forwarded a complaint about the president of the united states. i think it...

Pressure from the media and from democrats really we had no choice here even though this is a bad idea. others say this was in the interest of transparency, that the institutional concerns were weighed and that wanted to be transparent here, now, republicans are focused on the lack of inexplicit quid pro quo but that is also debatable, giving fic , zelensky had brought up military aid, defense, and the president then went on to say i would like you to do us a favor, though, and there has been a ...

Wolf, when we listen to the president in that press conference just a short while ago, it sounded as if he is welcoming the prospect of impeachment and in the words of a trump adviser i spoke with earlier today, the president and his team are at their battle stations. wolf? >> jim acosta in new york for us. thank you. lets go to capitol hill right now where congressional court sunla sunland, theyre in that secure confidential room, reading the whistleblower complaint. >> reporter: thats right, w...

About how mike pompeo had to talk to his ukrainian counterpart to make sure it was okay with that government to release this transcript. we do understand that the secretary of state was concerned about setting a new precedent for releasing these kinds of transcripts to the public because foreign leader in the future might have some qualms about speaking with the president over the phone if it runs the risk of being this publicized at some later date they cant talk candidly but you heard the pres...

Frame, some democrats want it wrapped up by end of the year, and wolf, how this plans to move forward is this. she will allow six committees to investigate and continue investigations, the house judiciary committee, intelligence committee, and ultimately recommend articles of impeachment, the judiciary committee would vote on that before the full house considers articles of impeachment. see if they take that step. most democrats believe now that she blessed impeachment inquiry, now the house wil...
