The latest on the timeline an the strike that vi for both sides. Plus, the new effort to unmask the whistleblower. A political pressure on the other side to delay and stone wall as long as possible. If they do impeach the president , the senate doesnt vote to convict, imagine what kind of a presidency youre going to have. The American Public is very smart and they will understand if the story is told and in a simple way. Also, the new report about Hillary Clintons emails and how the Trump Administration is still investigating them. And they are back. The gang at sn all right. Returns poking fun at the president and his personal attorney. Spenl this morning, the battle lines as im
[question inaudible] their party is in shambles right now. They have the squad leading their party. Take a look at so many of the people that were the most outspoken, and they say this was a devastating day for The Democrats, and you know it, john, and everybody else knows it. This is a devastating day for The Democrats. A very dumb and unfair question. If you look at his correction, he took that totally out of play.

that question because you know it is a phony. Go ahead. [question indiscernible] pres. Trump The Democrats had nothing and now they have less than nothing and i think theyre going to lose the 2020 election very big, including congressional seats because of the path they chose.

Cnn washington correspondent, jeff zeleny, is following all of the developments for us. Jeff. Good morning. The praise donald trump is showering on Vladimir Putin is a traditional break from American Politics.
