35% is still a third of independents. that s right. but that s a pretty good amount. and i think if you go forward with impeachment and you bring out information from mcgahn and others will be more likely to get evidence from our subpoenas enforced on and on documents to be turned over. if we get that information and it comes out that there will be more and more people that see what happened to our constitution, which was shredded. the government s former respect for the three branches of government and the constitution have just totally been disrespected. and i think you will find more people for impeachment as the hearings go on. only 19% were for impeachment when the hearing started in watergate. when they heard the proof, they changed their mind. we heard a month of no collusion, no obstruction. lies by barr, lies by trump. they brainwashed the public. so on that topic, we are going to hear from robert mueller next week, assuming the timetable sticks to the way it
and ms. butina are equivalent characters. i m not certain. that s what makes this intriguing to me. what does the administration say. that s why i think it s very interesting. if we do decide to do a prisoner swap, i m wondering why? what pressure has been placed or forced upon the president to ultimately direct the state department and say, we need to release this lady. and i m interested in what the congress will have, you know, in terms of going forward, what hearings they may have on as hearings go on, what hearings they may have on these issues and what other things they might bring out in some of the subcommittees, right, on what is happening as well. i think this is a story that we re just getting headlines now. but i think the detail of it, you know, will come out months later and it will be a much larger story. i think one difference is when america charges someone for
sunni. we need more strategy in the bombing of iraq. we expected that but it s more fiery than even we thought it would be. that may continue as these hearings go on. thank you very much. another story we want to bring you this morning, msnbc police right now are searching the indiana home of spokesman jerry fogle. he was arrested in april on charges related to child pornography. fogle has been a long-time ambassador for the subway chain and lost nearly 250 pounds on the subway diet. tlu see there you see him, a familiar face, definitely campaigning for subway and how it changed his body physically. they did not immediately respond to msnbc for comment.
this case are no longer able to speak publicly about any of this. the information we ve been getting is going to slow to more of a trickle as the hearings go on. people here got a bit of a surprise when christian bale, the actor who plays batman showed up here. it was a surprise to just about everybody. he visited patients in the hospital at the bedside. after that he came to this make shift memorial here and joined a prayer circle and prayed with people. it was all unannounced, they had no cameras with him and didn t want media coverage. our affiliate happened to be there and caught him. and it exploded on twitter and facebook, people pretty excited he took the time to come and visit. i ll bet that helped folks trying to recoup rate in the hospital. thanks, jim. the rest of the day s top stories, let s get right to christine romans. good morning. good morning, soledad, syrian forces stepping up attacks to regain control of aleppo, targeting rebel strong holds in syria s
and to a home on the beach in the fort lauderdale area, a lot of folks didn t even though he was a supreme court justice, but people who know him have loved him for many decades as he has served on court, very an aassuming but very strong from the bench and a very strong liberal voice. those were big shoes for any justice to step into and it will take time before that influence is filled by any ju justice. i have to say as part of the goodbye for john paul stevens, a number of people in the courtroom were wearing bow ties. nice touch. we ve been talking about elena kagan s lack of judicial experience and it s been point the out at out at least one third of the justices lack supreme court experience experience, and you re going to hear more of that as the hearings go on, you heard a little bit there from senator sessions and others. but one justice now sitting on the u.s. supreme court in the court s so-called conservative block, justice scalia, shannon, had praise
