it s the friday before a holiday here in the united states, but washington is having none of that so far. let s look at these developments. john bolton, he could be a wild card still in play here and now devin nunes could be facing questions about his association, a meeting over ukraine. what do you make of these? you re right, this is head spinning. what it does show us is the public hearings might be over, but the information is going to continue to drip out. i think that is a reflection of the fact that this white house is not disciplined, the republican party has not shown itself to be disciplined in this impeachment proeth. so i expect we re going to see a lot of information coming out between now and the impeachment vote and perhaps even before the senate trial. what i do think we can draw from these three stories, all of which are just emerging, is that
romney that you think most likely. if we get to this point, if we re in january and this continues to drip out, drip out, we can be in a very different place. stick around. we have much more on the president and his affinity for autocrats next. s affinity for autocrats next. as a cio, you want to move your business forward. but when your team is always dealing with device setups, app updates, and support calls. you can never seem to get anywhere. that s why dell technologies created unified workspace, powered by vmware. a revolutionary solution that lets you deploy, manage, support and secure all your devices from the cloud. so you can stop going in circles, and start moving forward. doprevagen is the number oneild mempharmacist-recommendeding? memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
between i ll use an instrument of u.s. foreign policy and national security and defense power, foreign aid or other assistance in exchange for your assistance to me politically, that s corrupt. and that is not a lawful exercise of his executive authority. so the president says, and this is a quick answer, but the president was asked at the very end of the oval office meeting, sir, you can clear all of this up. release the transcript of the phone call with the leader of ukraine. there is nothing. there s nothing. if there s nothing, why not release it? well, listen, this is all going to come out. no is just a long and painful way to yes. we ve seen this tactic before. it s going to come out, it s going to drip out, there is going to be beading that you can see. every four minutes there is a new speculation on what it might be. i do believe they need to get to the bottom of this soon. i think they should get ahead of it. it is not normally the tactic of
we really appreciate it. joining us now, cnn senior political commentator david axelrod and cnn national security commentator mike rogers. you heard matthew lay it out there. the basic question this morning is this did the president pressure a foreign leader? did the president hold money over a foreign government for the purposes of political gain? for going after a domestic political opponent? mike rogers, you ve been in this business a long time. what concerns does that raise? well, a bunch. again, we don t know that, but certainly the facts are dripping out. and i think the administration i hope the president comes out at noon and clarifies this thing because it s only going to drip out, and it will get out, and we will have a full story. it s just a matter on what terms we get that story. but i think this is, if that fact pattern is exactly right, i mean, it s very, very significant. if, in fact, he held back aid
enforcement and saying nice things, trying to get closer and closer to russia. let me talk about what popped through my head this morning, often when we get new revelations, is that the house intelligence committee when it was under the control of devon nunez closed an investigation into potential collusion. again, this investigation we re talking about with robert mueller is not completed, we don t know if the president was actually working with or for or if there was collusion. but that closed so quickly with saying there was no evidence potentially of anything happening, and now we continue to get the drip, drip, drip out of the fbi investigation. what s this mean for capitol hill now that we re seeing democrats take control of the committee? i think it gives added impetus to the democratic oversight and investigative operation that s beginning to ratchet up. adam schiff who will be the new chairman of the intelligence committee since the democrats
