Has the message of the speaker and your judiciary committee and the rest of the democratic house, has it permeated out there among the people? >> well, it certainly has in my region. you know, in addition to coming from a district that includes philadelphia where the constitution was written, pennsylvanias been very aware of election issues in the last few years. weve had some voter suppression measures. we had a strict voter i.d. law that had to be overturned. im here in large part because we h...

Oligarchs. theyre some of the more shady politicians in the country. and it begs the question, who is rudy giuliani actually working for as he descends in ukraine, and who is he working for as he spreads some of these narratives? we know hes working for the president, but we also know hes getting paid by other people. and he just doesnt disclose his client list. we have no idea how much money rudy giuliani is making off the donald trump administration. >> now, is this an instance where its sort ...

Steve was right on and really cut to the heart of the matter. it also has me thinking about what a public servant really is. nancy pelosi as speaker of the house was not somebody who was excited about impeachment. she was pushed there by a sense of duty and frankly by the presidents wrongdoing. it is time for republicans and others to stand up and do their job. and i think its really important that the american people understand that they are not just there -- members of congress arent just ther...

To paint a broad portrait of the presidents wrongdoing. and they had the same -- i asked roggin if they had similar questions in 1998. they totally did. he really wanted to include other scandals clinton was allegedly a part of in the articles but turned out in 1998 impeachment was a really unpopular thing. ultimately they tried to keep it extremely narrow and stuck with the starr report. >> keeping it narrow. >> yes. >> back to your point, him saying, i had the time of my life. i asked about hi...
