election. and ever since, the democrats have been searching for a pretext. when the mueller investigation found no m evidence to support e monstrous lie that the president acted in collusion with russia, there democrats realized they we running out of time. andin suddenly, the ukrainian phone call replaced collusion, stormy daniels, tax returns, emoluments, and even tweets as the reason to nullify the election. just a year before the next one is to be held. impeachment is one of the most serious powers with which congress ispo entrusted. it requires an overwhelming case of high crimes supported by clear evidence that a vast majority of the nation deeming compelling. our constitution vests the executive authority, including the enforcement of our laws, with the president. and it gives him sole authority to conduct our foreign affairs. clearly, this includes requesting a foreign government to cooperate in resolving potentially corrupt and illegal
it s been a long couple of months. you ve been in the middle of this, andn i know previously y unconstitutional ee mol u minutes, foreign government, wanted to say something. thank you. payments that the trump family i ve resist ed my willingness t has been receivingha in violati of the constitution. we sued him on day one of his be athletic here in the afternoon. administration over these but i want to say a few things. unconstitutional emoluments and first of all, the republicans on it s about time that congress thee intelligence committee submitted a number of subpoenas, enforce theon constitution ther and we never got a vote, and and call the necessary there was a motion to table it witnesses. richard painter, blazing as disposed of o them. always. webl appreciate your legal ranking member nunes sent a analysis and also your patience letter on november 8th asking as we watched the end of that for witnesses. hearing, sir. ranking member collins sent a thank you, maya, i put the
but if write writing it, if i were queen and i were writing it, i would have one on emoluments. he s clearly flouted the constitution and the law on enriching himself through the presidency. i think people could understand that pretty well too. and i m a little perplexed as to why they didn t i do know why they didn t go that way, they said it would be so hard to prove exactly how much money got into the president s pocket. i don t think you have to answer that. it s obvious that he s using the office to get money for his businesses. so i would have put that in there too. two or three things i think would more, you know this is about history, ari, this is about precedent. and we re going to say all these other things were okay? well, and they may yet put them in. tomorrow, hearing evidence on the intelligence report. you were outlining a position that, a a not insignificant numr of housea democrats hold, whic is there are other issues that come up.
