Happen. pointed out nixon had a better legal apparatus to defend him and bill clinton as well during their impeachments than president trump has, but president trump has something that nix didnt not have. he has fox news. he has an army of trolls. he has a sizable website to defend anything he says or does, and that could very well come into play. they are already coming to his defense. >> and you already see the president and his allies taking a page from the russia playbook where theyre trying...

Presidents main domestic political rivals. in the rough transcript of the presidents call with the president of ukraine, remember that transcript was released by the white house itself, there is this, and i quote, "theres a lot of talk about bidens son, that biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that. so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great. biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it, it sound h...

Way, so election be darned, if you will, that we have to make sure to take these actions just because the potential in his conduct of the norms of this representative democrat sick are severely under siege right now. this puts joe biden at the center of this because of the what the president asked the ukrainian president to do. theres no evidence of wrongdoing by joe biden or his son, but even with that, do you think this is a political problem for joe biden? >> i think its another example where...

President trump to stop what they call reprehensible discrimination. they have a chilling effect on the entire whistleblower process, with grave consequences for our democracy and national security. a gofundme for the whistleblower has reached $125,000. chuck grassley has long been a champion for whistleblowers. it will be interesting to see if those in the republican party can call out wrongdoing in the government, if theyre going to be protected. the internet was not happy with "the new york...

A lot of this. and clearly adam schiff and the house intelligence committee, they want that whistle-blower to do forward. but hes a written a lengthy memorandum already. what do they want to hear from him? >> they want people who can speak to questions like was the president actually directing rudy giuliani, was he directing other officials to engage with rudy giuliani or foreign officials? also you would want this person to see if they could talk about any documentary evidence that might exist,...

With how whistle-blowers really have changed the course of history. >> they really have. we wouldnt be having this conversation without this whistle-blower and a democratic-led house. so this person is a big deal and key to all of this. just the latest example in a long line of people whoef taken actions that have helped shape history. >> we still dont know who the whistle-blower is, but the complaints contents have catapulted washington into an impeachment inquiry into president trump. the now-...

Allegation of wrong doing, would it? >> pno. its just people are questioning what in the world was he doing and who was he doing it for as the presidents private lawyer. that isnt a typical mission. so his illusion to the saying im doing this for the state department is something we can now run down and find if he did have any kind of authority and bhie did he. >> if the state department were working with giuliani, would it be documented beyond those text messages that giuliani is putting out th...

House intelligence committee and host of cnns "declassified." hi. >> how are you? >> i like your new set. >> thank you very much. >> great to have you here in the set. is whistleblower the same as a spy? >> absolutely not. you know, this is the one thing about trump is he would say this, probably in his new york real estate office, if he was frustrated, that would come out, but one thing about trump, it just comes out wherever. there doesnt seem to be a filter for responsible conversation as pre...
