impeachment has officially gone bipartisan over the weekend. congressman justin amash of michigan became the first republican to join in after completing his own review of the mueller report. he explained his thinking in a long twitter thread over the weekend and it is worth taking the time to read through that whole thing. amash s principal conclusions were that one, attorney general barr has deliberately misrepresented the report. two, president trump has engaged in impeachable conduct. three, partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances and, four, few members of congress have read the report. he said contrary to barr s portrayal, mueller s report reveals that president trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment. now, he is a libertarian that s broken from his party and the president before but he still has a 100% from a tea party group. he s not doing any interviews and isn t trying to get anything out of his new
they argue that there s a privilege because when he allowed him to testify before mueller, it was all within the executive branch. but when he let it be made public in the mueller report to all of us that waived the privilege. so anything on those points certainly can be testified to tomorrow without a question. jill wine-banks and congress man jim himes, thank you for guiding us through all of this breaking news tonight. appreciate it. thank you. and when we come back, the new york times reports that deutsche bank saw suspicious activity in the president of the united states bank accounts and wanted that suspicious activity reported. and deutsche bank didn t report it. david kay johnston joins us next. t it david kay johnston joins us next look limu. a civilian buying a new car. let s go. limu s right. liberty mutual can save you money by customizing your car insurance,
