>> he certainly does. one of the things that i found interesting about comeys interview how he talked look there is no evidence there was no evidence of intentional wrongdoing by individuals at the top of the fbi. thats not true. there may not have been direct evidence of bias, but there is a ton of circumstantial evidence. if you look at all the mistakes, the mistakes made by the fbi in getting that fisa warrant, every single mistake went against trump. every single one. so if you are looking a...

Presidency, democrats have resisted pursuing impeachment, even as we watched with dismay and disgust at a pattern of wrongdoing. that pattern included ordering federal agencies to lie to the public. firing fbi director for refusing to end investigations of his campaign. siding with vladimir putin against our intelligence agencies, taking funding away from the military to put towards an ineffective border wall. , and setting policies that have led to the separation of families and caging of child...

Rather than his role as leader of the doj? >> well, as leader of the doj, one of the things he is responsible for is the integrity of the fbi. the fbi is under him. hes got a responsibility to correct the kinds of errors, the kinds of wrongdoing, actually, that was identified in the inspector general report, and which we may learn a good deal more about when durham reports. it seems to me that barr there is doing his job. hes got a right to his opinion on impeachment, just as jerry nadler does, ...

Detriment of the national security interests of the united states. that is the very definition of an impeachable offense. when congress began to investigate president trumps wrongdoing, he engaged in an unprecedented pattern of obstruction. that, too, is why the impeachment power exists. a president who subverts both our elections and our constitutional system of checks and balances puts himself above the law, and it is congress duty to hold the president, any president accountable. it gives us ...

Our destiny is very much in the balance. i think this was an important step yesterday taken by the house. were seeing how different things are in the senate. i think its interesting to note, though, if you go back to the clinton impeachment, clinton -- after the impeachment, he saw his approval rating go from about 50% to 63%. he kept his head down, he was contrite. he admitted wrongdoing and the american people saw him working for them. and they supported him. were not seeing this same support ...

In this great institution that i love and the people of my district did i ever expect to encounter such an obvious wrongdoing by a president of the united states. nor did i expect to witness such a craven rationalization of presidential actions that should put our national security at risk, undermine the integrity of our elections and defied the constitutional authority of the congress to conduct oversight. weve heard from republicans that this impeachment really has to do with policy difference...

Dislike him. throughout the trump presidency democrats have resisted pursuing impeachment even as we watched with dismay and disgust at a pattern of wrongdoing. that pattern included ordering federal agencies to lie to the public firing the fbi director for refusing to end investigations of his campaign. siding with vladimir putin against our intelligence agencies. taking funding away from the military to put towards an ineffective border wall. and setting policies that have led to the separatio...

Department of justice and ukraine into the corruption of ukraine interference into the u.s. election in 2016. >> im deeply concerned that any member of the house would spout russian prop gaaganda on the fl of the house. >> i rise today in support of these articles of impeachment. i come to this floor not as a democrat, not as a republican, but as an american who cares deeply about the constitution, the rule of law, and the rights of the people. >> never in all my years of serving in this great i...

Of the people. >> never in all my years of serving in this great institution that i love and the people of my district did i ever expect to encounter such an obvious wrongdoing by a president of the united states. >> so you heard how some of the talking points went today. some of them translated from the original russian. we heard at least one pearl harbor reference. one other moment that drew a lot of attention was when one of the republican house members compared the impeachment of an trump to...

Stuff rather than conceding some of it. heres what some of the democrats argued yesterday on the floor debate. >> the president may refuse to comply, may refuse lawful process, may coerce an ally, may cheat in an election because hes the president of our party, you do not uphold our constitution. you do not uphold your oath of office. well, i will tell you this, i will uphold mine. i will vote to impeach donald trump. i yield back. >> it is a matter of fact that the president is an ongoing threa...
