glad i could help. at xfinity, we re here to make life simple. easy. awesome. so come ask, shop, discover at your xfinity store today. welcome back right now the house judiciary committee is holding its first hearing as part of its impeachment investigation. they began by questioning former trump campaign chairman corey lewandowski. if democrats thought this hearing would help lay out in clear language why the president should be impeached, well, things did not go quite as they were expecting there s no conspiracy or collusion between the trump campaign and any foreign governments either on my watch or afterwards.
obstruction congress that, democrats say, is an impeachable offense. it was article 3 of the nixon impeachment. and so that is one of the things that i think democrats will talk about leaving from this multi-hour hearing today, chuck. geoff, you did a noble job trying to explain what was accomplished there stick around eugene, it s the decision to do this in the public square with somebody who right now is thinking about running for the united states senate and clearly at least saw this as an opportunity to establish his credentials as a republican primary candidate. midway through the hearing, corey lewandowski tweeted the following. stand with cory.com. so democrats thought it seems to me if they wanted if they had something serious to do, you do this without cameras. what geoff is reporting is they thought this somehow was going to be a spectacle that would somehow create i m just surprised they thought that.
they have clearly stopped trying to help democrats win elections and started trying to make themselves feel better. that s what the impeachment process is. except there are plenty of democrats in those districts that flipped democrat in 2018 who want to proceed with an impeachment inquiry. the question is what they saw today, is that what they had in mind so it will be an interesting caucus discussion. i think it s a great conversation for republicans most of the house freshmen who flipped districts are being quiet. republicans would be happy if every freshman democrat would come out for impeachment. i know this is good republican primary politics for corey. can you win a general election being sort of like trump s protector in a swing state corey has this is one snapshot of corey, one moment for corey. he s got a lot of things out there and i m sure people he has an early lead in the primary numbers.
