whether he walks for a, or goes to jail, will be decided by a jury of his peers. that is what republicans like to call the rule of law. what would be very dangerous is for the rule of law not to prevail. joining me now, impeachment manager and trump's first impeachment member of the january six a house select committee, and author of midnight in washington, congressman adam schiff. welcome back to the sunday show. >> thank, you good to be with you. >> what do you make of these particular charges. conspiracy to defraud the united states, and tampering with a witness? >> i think that these are the most serious charges that he faces yet. this grand jury, the mar-a-lago documents case is a threat to our national security, it's very serious. so are the multiple business fraud counts in new york, they're also serious.
trump's impeachment. what do you make of that prospect? especially as the lead impeachment manager for his first impeachment. >> there is no constitutional provision, or constitutional mechanism to do such a thing. it is a farce. it doesn't mean they won't do it. mccarthy and the public leadership -- there is no floor below which they will not saying to debase themselves for donald trump. we could very well have a vote on it. it will be a meaningless saw up to their most flawed, unethical leader. you know, democrats will probably not have any problem with that. >> congressman adam schiff of california. thank, you as always, for coming to the sunday show. >> thank you. >> next, what we can expect from georgia as we unlock big news from the district attorney fani willis in her investigation into election interference. congressman joe neguse, and charles coleman junior, join me

our discussion tonight. and coming up, we have some breaking news. new reporting tonight indicates the special prosecutor jack smith is questioning and this is about one of the craziest white house meetings of the trump presidency that included screaming arguments and proposals to break the law that shocked and infuriated white house lawyers. the january six committee led the way in investigating that meeting. we'll ask a member of that committee what special prosecutor jack smith should be looking for. congressman adam schiff joins us next. in us next.
