sway a sizable number of the public and include people of the opposite party. one thing we have learned unless it s bipartisan, it doesn t work. only 37% in one poll of the american public supports the idea of impeachment at this point. having said that, there are consequences if they don t go forward. the consequences are do we set a precedent and say the things he s been accused of if he were to be found guilty of them do not constitu stcit constitute i offenses. there are consequences either way. in the short term political consequence and there s the long term sort of like governance consequen consequence. i don t know where that will fall but that s what s going through the minds of a lot of people in congress now. great thanks to our big three
in some cases raped, attempted rape. it is also no secret that historically in this country when that has happened to women, what the culture said is don t go forward, your family doesn t want you to talk about it, it will be embarrassing, nobody believes you. that is a culture that has to change. and i don t want young boys or girls in this country who are watching this process and say, wow, this guy may have done all of these things, nobody investigated it, he s now on the highest court of the united states of america. that s wrong. we want, first of all, to change the culture in this country so that this type of sexual attitude of boys on girls does not happen. but we certainly want young women, if they have been assaulted, if they have been harassed, to come forward with confidence that they will be listened to. that they will be taken seriously.
with it and then we have this deadline that s going to probably come and go. i think they re using the customs and habits of the fbi and the justice department to say don t go forward, stop it. we have an election. now, obviously that hasn t always happened in the past. remember 2016 but i think what giuliani is trying to do is shape the public perception and do something about those numbers that you just had on the screen. if the public is giving more credibility to the mueller investigation, if the public is saying hey, there really is something here, please go forward, we have we have belief in what the prosecutor is doing, they have purchase here. giuliani s job is not to win this case in an actual courtroom but do it in the court of public opinion and putting out these ideas you have to end it by a certain date. he s really looking at those public polling numbers. all right. thank you so much. appreciate your time.
do you expect nature memos to be re more memos to be released? i think we need to stop down this path. i don t see how more memos will contribut contribute any greater clarity. we have to remember that the fisa process is a multilayered process with multiple checks and levels of review. the statistic about how many are approved is misleading because there s many that don t go forward because they don t make it through the scrutiny of the review procedures to get submitted in the first place. and you have two branches of government who are not going to collude. the judges are not dumb people. they know the level of scrutiny they need to apply. and tours, it was and of course, it was pretty much well known by the time the last was reapproved, the source of the material. the idea that the judge didn t know that this was from opposition research memo or that parts of it were or the idea that that s all that was relied on. again, this is cherry picked information that we re looking
papadopoulos statement came out, the march meeting, it 4 been dismissed. jeff sessions said, please don t go forward with this. flash forward to may, it looks like there was some effort to continue. there was no one who actually just stopped george papadopoulos from having these contacts with the russians. another thing is we know the australian intelligence community reached out to the fbi in july because at that time they started to see wikileaks publishing these hacked e-mails. they are connecting the dots, reaching out to the fbi, and it would align with the people in the u.s. intelligence community, like john brennan, like james comey, former fbi director who said this ramped up in the summer of the election. and also undermines this republican idea that this entire
