recently is ben gauzy. there s history with watergate. do you think they re going to regret the way they conducted themselves here? i think they might. let s take a step back and think about why is this even controversial? everyone acknowledged that we were going to obviously do a deep investigation because both parties had a vested interest in finding out the truth. this it was not obvious that this was going to become a partisan food fight. and think about how easy it would have been had mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy said of course we re going to do it. we re going along with an independent commission that is evenly divided, that is nonpartisan, that doesn t have politicians on it. that would have been the easy thing to do. and now what have they ended up with? they have a commission that will be dominated by democrats, that will go ahead, that does not have an ending date and they have no control over whatsoever. so i do think that they are
eight-page letter say they go believe it s constitutionally invalid, that it violates precedent and the president s due process rights in saying, no, we are not going to be cooperating with any of your requests. now, they say they re not going to be cooperating, the question is what will they do if, if democrats take that forward and make this a form s impeachment inquiry in the white house s eyes? less they have to change their game plan? they re waiting to see what democrat doss in response. they re gearing up for impeachment behind the scene, the president recruiting someone to be outside counsel. trey gowdy, the former south carolina congressman whoen led the ben gauzy intelligence chairman at the time and gives a sense the white house is gearing up for this to happen, to are this to move forward and for them to prepare for the president to potentially be impeached. kaitlan, thank you. with the setup, legal analysis. jennifer rogers in new york,
