so-called revolution in moscow itself. and that s why he is trying so brutally to snuff out the flame of freedom in ukraine. and that s why it is so vital that he fails. congressman heims, you agree? well, it is hard to know exactly why putin is ratcheting up the violence, you know, committing additional war crimes. you know, moving populations out of their own country is a clear violation of the laws of armed conflict. you know, but it is true and i think the prime minister gets it right that, at the core of putin s fear is the notion that right on his doorstep, there might be a country in which democracy and freedom obtained. where journalists can do tough reporting without being at risk of being thrown off the top of a building the way they are in russia. um, so yeah. you know, a fear of democracy has is why he got into this
congressman heims and understand why he s made this dramatic move. manu raju on capitol hill. thank you very much. and joining us now congressman anthony brow erd of maryland. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. great to be with you. i want to get your thoughts on the latest developments involving iran in just a moment but let me get your thoughts on impeachment. you told reporters recently you would vote for impeachment if it eventually came to a formal vote on the floor of the house of representatives. but you stopped short of calling for that formal inquiry that congressman jim hiems is supporting. why are you reluctant to take that first step? you know, wolf, right now you ve got the judiciary committee and government oversight and the intelligence committee and a number of other committees that are deep in documents and testimony. obviously we re trying to get more documents and testimony from the administration. and others who are currently and formerly in the
lot of the president s people have done. i think the president himself acknowledged that whitaker s role was there and certainly whitaker made statements earlier that prior to his becoming attorney general acting that would suggest that. so no surprise. now the big question is there is a difference between people talking about stuff and things actually being done. so the question for us as the body of government charged with oversight is did the acting attorney general take any actions which would have compromised any of the investigations of trump or the trump administration or more broadly the russia question. congressman heims, i appreciate it. thank you. so there is more breaking news tonight. ahead including president trump s decision to ground the boeing 737 max after two deadly crashed in the last five months. question one, why was the united states the last to do it and what was behind the decision? we ll have that ahead. we humans are strange creatures. other species avo
congressman heims, this e-mail to michael cohen that he could, quote, sleep well tonight because he has friends in high places, i wonder how you interpret th interpret that. it points to something i can t get into specificity and the conversation with michael cohen before he was before the intelligence committee and there are real questions and coming from public as well, there are real questions on the topic of pardon dangling. and again, i can t be terribly specific about it but i think it is far from the end of that conversation. i think that when the intelligence committee transcripts are released, there will be some very uncomfortable days for a number of people and there will be questions to follow up on. so, again, as you said, you can t go into specifics, but you re saying based on what you learned in the committee investigation, can you say if you have a clearer picture of what actually happened here in regards to a pardon?
ready to treat differently with a pill? otezla. show more of you. there s breaking news on capitol hill and the senate committee s investigation into possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia. last week, the committee s republican chairman said they had not seen any evidence indicating collusion. late this afternoon, top democrat on the committee said senator mark warner broke burr saying, and i quote, respectfully, i disagree. i m not going to get into any conclusions i ve reached because my basis of this has been that i m not going to reach any conclusion until we finish the investigation. and we still have a number of key witnesses to come back. the split between the two senators is significant, because it s rare, frankly, their committee has generally operated smoothly without the partisan divisions that ensnared their house colleagues. congressman jim himes is on the house committee and i spoke to him just before airtime. congressman heims, i wonder what
