A draft article for obstruction of congress and he complied with some subpoenas. not this president. he has completely shut down everything. >> we're fighting all the subpoenas. i have an article ii where i have the right to do whatever i want as president. >> so he doesn't have the right to do whatever he wants. article ii gives the president quite a bit a power. the big question strategically will be article iii. what did they do with mueller? do they continue? do they have it as their own article of impeachment or use it as background for the larger point? and mueller, of course, found ten ...

He said he's friends with william barr, which made me a little suspicious. then he said he was opposed to the article iii of the impeachment of nixon. that's the one where nixon got impeached for failure to turn over items. he just wants the democrats to be dragged in front. it's weird and disingenuous, but what it's not is saying trump is innocent. he never said that what trump did is not impeachable. he just said investigate it more. >> there's a question here about all of this. it's very clear to me the members of the committee and the house democratic caucus view themselves as engaged in a...
