even if it never triggers impeachment of the president himself. democrats are dubious. where are we in the impeachment investigation is to mark is that still going on? that is the point. it is going so well. keep doing what you are doing. it s going great. it is unlikely that doj would prosecute these cases. that is precisely the point republicans want to make. the g.o.p. alleges there is different treatment for democrats. hunter biden in particular. john: we will see where this goes. thank you. sandra: let s bring in house ways and means committee. thank you so much and welcome. please do tell us the grounds for the criminal referrals for the bidens. sandra, just about 10 days
falsehoods about communications with chinese business partners. republicans say jim biden failed to tell the truth. i think that jim biden like they provided false information to congress regarding some of that china deals. with hunter biden, i think it is the money laundering stuffed with the right around the corner, impeachment doesn t have to be the only tool in the toolkit. the criminal referral attending a meeting between hunter biden business partner tony. i think that justice department needs to look at that and act accordingly. when you lie to congress, that is a serious violation of the law. it is a felony. the president s son should not be treated any differently than any other american. kevin mccarthy green-lighted an impeachment inquiry last july. that investigation yielded some of this information.
capitol, they will go to the capitol. today they are sitting in jail. charles, our friend points out that of trump wins in november,h he will of surprise survive two impeachments, four indictments, civil charges for sexual abuse of fraud and a felony conviction. how ivndofcan anyone believe th would be any meaningful guardrails on donald trump this time around? that s a valuable question. the notion of there being no guardrails around donald trump is exactly why we have to get to engage right now with respect to the ones that exist within the system. who are we sending to congress? who is going to enforce the notion of checks and balances with this threat to what the president will try to do. we know the supreme court is not going to do that. they are effectively in his back pocket. the concern about project 2025 and all the things we have already heard about what donald trump and his agenda is going
into a potential second term should be an along to all of us. at this point, it doesn t seem that absent the legislature doing something, that there are not going to be guardrails and o it s a concern. a the judiciary has shown us in so many different ways that they are not going to be the ones to hold the president and n check. yamiche, while most republican senate it senate candidates were loudly defensive of trump, we saw there democratic candidates a lot more muted because they think they will be crossover voters to win in november. what you think of s that approa? it s an interesting approach and underscores the times we are living in. as you look at the polls, you see most independence believe the verdict was correct. it also tells you there are a lot of candidates out there that are maybe looking at the american people and looking at some of the republicans
but given what charles laid out, it s a trump-appointed prosecutor, president biden allowedec this to happen. shouldn t this put an end to the argument the trump and his allies are pushing president biden has his thumb on the justice system. everything is super political. if it was, he would not be allowing his only living son to be sitting for this trial. shouldn t this, in theory, end d that argument? even when the biden justice department went and prosecuted bob menendez. a democrat in the senate. there s a 50-50 senate. there are so many examples of this justice department making objective prosecuting decisions all the way through. frankly,th in the trump cases t evidence is so overwhelming that it would be egregious not to prosecute them. in this instance, to your point, for the biden justice department to go after the president s son in a criminal it s not the only case. s we also have the tax case. ve
