very close with bribery and differently extortion. we never address the emoluments question, we don t know what is going on with russia, helsinki, there is a lot here and democrats can continue to push forward before turning this over to the senate and there s a lot more room for the democrats. shannon: we ve been told there s an urgency to getting this done because the president is potentially going to interfere in 2020 and got to make it. if they thought they had these cases they should have tried to make them and that they didn t means there s not much to them. it is interesting the republican state unified, something that was not expected when impeachment first got going when donald trump was elected. a lot of people thought republicans might want to see him impeached, not a single republicans trade on this vote and none are expected to. something about republicans gaining some courage but also
with extortion, so we could have gone there, never address the emoluments question, domestic and foreign, don t know what s going on with russia in all of these cases, remember helsinki, so there is a lot here, and the democrats, by the way, can continue to push forward with additional hearings before turning this over to the senate. this is not done, and there s a lot more room for the democrats to work with here. shannon: but mollie, we have been told there is an urgency to getting this done because the president is potentially going to interfere and corrupt 2020. and got to make it quick, almost out of time. speak what they thought they had these cases, they should ve tried to make them, and that they didn t suggest there was not much to them. it s interesting that republican state unified. this was something not expected when impeachment first got going, back when donald trump was elected coming on people thought republicans might want to see him impeached. not a single republica
trust. this president hasn t done that. there are foreign governments that think they can curry favor, the whole emoluments question, with him if they stay at his hotels or do things. there is so much conflict of interest and potential conflict of interest. and here it is with ukraine as well. and, remember, he withheld some aid to ukraine that the congress voted for. so it s just one thing after another after another. he ll say, but we eventually gave them the aid, and they did have problems about corruption, and there was an issue with biden, and i was just asking him to do what he needed to do to get to the bottom of some matters. at what point does it become something, in your estimation, that is worthy of impeachment, which means removing somebody from office maybe and maybe a nullification of an election? well, let me first tell you that back in may, i became alarmed when the u.s. ambassador

why senator mccaskill? a really good question and also an unanswered question. there is the coincidental times of trump going to missouri, vote her out. within a month this happens. she was highly critical of russia, also of wikileaks. those are circumstantial. what struck me about this was just how unsophisticated the whole thing is. really. they set up a fake page. tell you your e-mail password expired and ask you to log in and change it. that s it. anybody can be duped by that. the verification. two-step verification. i talked to a cyber security expert on the democratic side of the ledger who said this is the simplistic elements of this. they will catch up with people if they aren t prepared. anyone running for 2020, your campaign may not be targeted during that campaign but aides working on campaigns and go to
