Obviously. that was the deadline. but i anticipate that they won t meet that deadline and the result will be that we will likely proceed to court as quickly as next week. so this really hasn t moved from where we were a week ago friday when you put out your notice. i ve noticed that. i don t see right now as an option. i think the better openings for us is to proceed with the court case. congressman rouda, is this the correct way to proceed? what else can democrats do to try to force the administration to comply? this goes become to my opening comments and your question. as long as the white house and the cabinet continue to defy congress right to get information and to have their subpoenas honored, they re leaving no other choice except to start impeachment proceedings. maybe that s the end game here that the president wants the play. the american public deserve justice. they deserve to know what the details are behind the mueller report, have mueller come in and talk about i ....
Somehow this evidence leads to more obstruction. although i think in the court of public opinion and in congress what we ll be looking at is who is this member of congress who would have directed flynn to lie or to not tell the truth to mueller. i think another big question i think regarding flynn is we still don t know why he lied to the fbi about his russian contacts, and so we may find out pretty soon because on may 31st, a federal judge just said the transcript of flynn s phone call with the russian ambassador after the 2016 election is going to be released. it s going to be very interesting. paul, let us know if you figure out. that is always one of the big things about all these investigations. most of the people are under indictment or going to prison because of lies they told investigators, and we re still not sure about why they lied. what s underneath all of that? i think that s what we re most looking forward toe in that transcript. in many ways it validates ....
Prison would exist. it would be such a fascinating story. our reporting says it s not there. it s not there. there are places that look and feel like a prison sometimes in the basement of the capitol. kind of like the old veteran stadium. indeed. essentially the argument is no mistakes. right. democrats are being very methodical, as paul mentioned in trying to lay out this case before actually starting the impeachment proceedings. why they want to hear from mueller, because they want to have this play out in the public. and actually back up something congressman rueda said in my conversations with a number of house democrats. i ve been starting to hear from them, ones you wouldn t necessarily expect to move towards impeachment. they re starting to warm to the idea because they feel as though they re being torn and they feel as though they have a horrible obligation to carry this out because if they don t, then what signal does that send for future presidents? what s next. ken ....
On what justin amash did? does that make potential impeachment inquiry bipartisan or is one not enough? well, it s about time a republican stepped to the table. i wish every republican and democrat if they have not read the mueller report, read it. it lays out numerous action to be taken by congress and obstruction of justice. it specifically says that mueller did not take prosecutorial action because they don t have the right to do that. but they laid it out for congress to begin taking action. and i applaud my member across the aisle for taking the appropriate step for washed. democrats applauding justin amash, who would have thunk it. paul, you have some reporting on this, i understand. justin amash is he has been an outlier is the best way to describe it. kevin mccarthy, who is now the house minority leader, has clashed with him for eight years since he first got here. so i don t know whether you re ....
Know, from the perspective of the trump administration, they have essentially said no to everything, right? the president said no way, no how. we re not doing any of it. does that put them at any risk if this does get to the courts? i don t think so. this is a political play by the trump team. they think that it rebounds to their benefit with the trump base to say the democrats just won t quit. look, mueller exonerated, i put that in air quotes intentionally, the president on collusion and obstruction, and yet the democrats persist. i think it s a tricky fight for nancy pelosi, and i think you see that where she is setting these you talk about the legal steps. certainly there are legal steps to bring the case. but politically she is setting these somewhat arbitrary sort of hurdles that it has to be bipartisan. well, now we have a situation. we could check that box. but then a number of other ones that sort of seem like she doesn t really want to. right. that s definitely been the ....
