I dont think too many people are going to watch because its going to be boring. All right . In fact, youre here, i guess youre here, and well supersede it, but not a lot of people are going to be watching today. Just think of this. Constitutional lawyers they get three and we get one. What kind of a deal is that . You dont need a constitutional lawyer because nothing was done wrong. Zero done wrong. I will say it again, read the transcript and then listen to what the president of ukraine said. He said there was no pressure whatsoever. Listen to what the foreign minister of ukraine highly respected man, very both very respected. Listen to what the foreign minister said. He said there was pressure whatsoever. Thats the only one that counts but then listen to all of their witnesses and not one of them said anything that was meaningful other than positive for me. Like the one said there was no quid pro quo. Thats what he said. And he said that i actually told him that. There will be no qui
No audio] senator graham the impeachment i president clinton, so what want to highlight here no, one. 2019, congressman al green an impeachmentup inquiry, which is the right way to do it, by the way. Voted with the g. O. P. Against impeaching trump. For an republican inquiry, and whats happened is hat the attempt to open up an inquiry of impeachment against miserablytrump felled so they created a new process hat i think is very dangerous for the country. Looking into an impeachable offense, they thats Intel Committee behind closed doors, doesnt provide access to the shuts nts accuser, republicans out for all ractical purposes and is an unworthy substitute for the way you need to do it. Its at its core unamerican. Tell you what we did in the past. Lets go to 1998. October, we had an impeachment inquiry vote on the floor of the house. I was there. 31 democrats voted to open up an after ment inquiry, and that inquiry where is the chart . These were the rights given to president clinton, h
Hearing later on this month. Well be back to live coverage when the Judiciary Committee gavels back in after the series of votes series of votes on the house floor wraps up and you can follow that vote under way now over on cspan2. Just before the meeting got under way this afternoon we spoke toed to ruger, the Legal Affairs the correspondent. Todd, briefly tell us about the three bills that the House Committee will take up today. Well thanks for having me on.

President. We also understood what the deal said. For example, we had an understanding what have a poison pill was. A poison pill was anything that was not in existing law. Anything that was not existing law if there was to be any change, all five of us would have to sign off on it. Yet what happened this morning in appropriations is apparently and i would call this a Troubling Development there was an attempt to kind of change the rule, change the game, change what we agreed to. And now, look, one of the few things we agreed to on a bipartisan basis apprehend here was it was a good idea to have a regular appropriations process. I cant overstate how difficult it was, given the players involved, to reach an agreement and here when we begin to take the first step in our Committee Process here our democratic friends seem to want to try to wiggle out of the agreement that we all signed off on and voted on. So i think its truly a disturbing development. I hope youll ask them about it. Theyl
