of these decisions, or a lot of things that michael cohen was doing, and prosecutors are basically laying out that michael cohen brazenly violated the laws and donald trump directed him to do so. >> what about impeachment here? when you look at this, is this enough to bring charges? is this enough for hearings? is this enough for committee hearings by the house judiciary committee on this president's behavior? >> so, i'm on the judiciary committee, and my view is that impeachment, like the power to declare war, is one of congress' gravest responsibilities. it should never be our first option. i think we need to wait for the special counsel investigation to conclude. these were court filings that were done for sentencing purposes. we don't know how much special counsel mueller knows about what's going on with russia and these other related activities, specifically at donald trump. we should wait for the investigation to conclude and make a decision then. >> when do you think that would come? give me a time frame right now. here we are, right before the holidays. congress is going to be in the third of january. >> right. >> you're ready for business
