so tars his opponent and with $125 million just this last quarter he can buy a lot of tar. in those swing districts house republicans are most concerned with, impeachment remains unpopular. those 31 democrats representing districts that the president won in 2016 could face real political blowback for voting for impeachment. joe crowley, nancy pelosi could be right in the first of instance that the house leadership, the house control could be endangered by impeachment. i think we re really in uncharted territory in many respects. but andrea what i go back to and i say again and again, probably to my family right now, the president is making what is illegal and unconstitutional normal. and that has me incredibly scared right now. what will it take for my republican former colleagues, fellow americans, to really get a backbone?
that she isn t open to the idea of impeaching trump at this time. i d like to welcome my panel. senior writer for politico, jake sherman, washington post white house correspondent, anne gearan. former u.s. attorney and msnbc contributor joyce vance, and at 30 rock, we have former democratic congressman joe crowley of new york. and white house reporter for the associated press, john lemire. i want to start with you, congressman crowley, because you ve been in some of these meetings, and this one was a real doozy, and this division between jerry nadler and nancy pelosi seems to me to be what is going to be driving what happens next in this drama over how democrats handle impeachment and the mueller report. do you disagree? i think it was impolitic that
there. they re not going to playing ball at all. congressman crowley, how big a test is this for the judiciary committee to actually, as joyce was talking about, to educate the american. you re trying to move the needle on public opinion, is this the way to do it? the scoffing at subpoenas, joyce mentioned it earlier. that would have been enough to drive people to testify truthfully before congress. instead they re ignoring it. so i do think people have talked about the constitutional crisis. we may be developing, moving further towards that, telescope scoffing at theespecially the scoffing at the subpoenas that was something that was really damaging for one s life. so far they seem to be scoffing at that.
just about every one of them has read it, especially volume ii. america, read volume ii. psa from joe crowley. there are a lot of americans who have picked it up for sure. i want to talk a little bit about william barr. the congress is set to hold a contempt vote against him on tuesday, which is a big step in the mueller investigation. but also this. the attorney general joked about a rocky entrance to his tenure to the justice department, but he turned heads over a timely metaphor that he used. as we have been watching the coverage of june 6, 1944, d-day, i had the thought that my rival this time felt a little bit, i think, like jumping into son
terms. congressman crowley, have you ever seen pelosi be nervous? nancy pelosi i m going to quote from a movie. nancy pelosi is as tough as a bar of iron, okay? nervous and nancy don t go together. she has the full faith and confidence of her caucus. they believe in her. she has moral persuasion over them because she has character and integrity. i have to say, kasie, it s absolutely crazy. a republican member of congress actually said that he did not read and will not read the mueller report. i mean, that is incredibly outrageous but it shows you just how nervous they are and so is the president. he s the nervous one here. do you know if any democrats who haven t read the mueller report? i can tell you i have. i know my colleagues have. i talked to my colleagues from time to time about this, and
