don t be led into the fools trap of saying it was not impeachment, but is not impeachable. no. it is much stronger than that. nothing was done wrong. neal katyal. i m thrilled to tell you neal has a new book you may want to read. it is called impeach: the case against donald trump. it s copping out this month. and it looks very intriguing to me. congrats on that and welcome back. thank you. your view of this new argument and donald trump, always a difficult client, pushing back against even this defense. dios mio, ari. inappropriate is like when a president wears a tan suit or something like that. the allegations here are just about as serious as one could imagine. the president going secretly and asking another government to dig up dirt on his chief political rival and withholding aid in the process.
national security interest for us and ukraine which makes it maladministration on trump s point. you say that morrison s claim that nothing was illegal with the call will give republicans something to work with. why do you say that? well, for the obvious reason they can say here s another guy who did not see a problem with the call. you know, i do think we have to be a little bit skeptical about morrison s analysis if only because he was aware of the decision by john eisenberg, the lawyer for the national security council, to move the records of the call into this highly classified separate server. he kind of has to say he didn t see it as a legal problem. if he saw it as a legal problem, he s kind of copping to being a party to obstruction. so i think we ve got to be a little skeptical of that.
there is no nobility or honor in killing a lady who s pregnant. someone who is innocent. yes. not somebody in the life. right. it goes in line with building our resume. so if your resume as a gangster is that i go out and i put in work for my gang, including killing, including robbery, well, eventually you ll have to prove that, okay, when was the last time you killed somebody? last time you did a robbery? well, this is his advertisement by taking claim for, yeah, i shot these guys. i shot this guy. i killed him. but i wouldn t do her. i wouldn t kill her. reporter: detective williams was convinced c-styles was only copping to the other murder to distance himself from crystal s. and then all the witnesses in
have you seen anything like this? this appears to be part of the intelligence operation aimed a the president? is there a precedence? you asked me to go some place we can t go at length. copping down here, i asked myself, have we ever had a presidential scandal like this in america? no. i can t think of one. then because i study the soviet union as a profession, i asked myself, did the russian secret police, the kgb, run its own operations against soviet leaders who pursued policies they didn t like? and the answer is yes. particularly detente related policies. now i connect dots. feel free to tell me that i shouldn t connect the dots. but all of this russiangate stuff seems to originated, that s what steele tells us, intelligence agencies, american and foreign. what we don t know is why.
this one, and glenn s a prosecutor so he knows this better than me, if you cop to one thing, what you are copping to might be something worse. so is he admitting there s a transcript or audio of this full call, if not other calls, where he s carrying out some of the same behavior or worse? and that further makes it it exposes him in the ongoing investigation. sure, he s scared. i will say one other thing too. i will go out on a limb and say while it may not look like republican officials will say as they did with nixon and turn on him, let s be clear, this is a man who took over a party, and many of them resented him at first. he wasn t the person chosen to be their nominee. he took over the party, ran down all of them, dozen or more candidates and been running it ever since. some of these republican elected officials, including senators, have their own political ambition, ari. so if it gets too tight, they
