six months back in 2019. what grade would you give republicans, congresswoman? i think it s pretty obvious that they get an f. probably even worse than an f if there is such a thing. it s been stranger than fiction. you can t even write melodrama like we ve had in the committee over the last six months. as you ve said, they have platforms conspiracy theorists, they ve put all kinds of hearings on, over and over again, and i think one of the things a lot of folks don t realize is that they ve held literally the same hearing time and time again, because they will call a witness, interrogate them and when they don t get the answers that they want, they hold over again. and then they will hold it in another committee. and just this week we had this irs supposed whistleblower hearing and we had to vet the witnesses, because the republicans have been calling, as their star witnesses, folks who are known fugitives from the law. folks who are literally out to grind their political acts aga
impeaching president trump? i do. i actually co-sponsored an impeach resolution in the last congress. so let me ask you this about your party, given that framework for our viewers. if that s a good idea, why are the leaders of the democratic party afraid to call for it? why does visit to be impeachment by another name in your view? well, i don t think it will end up being impeachment by another name. i agree totally with jim clyburn that once these investigations have runner course over the next couple of months, we ll have the entire case that we would then draft articles of impeachment which then need judiciary committee would hold hearings on. let me get your view on some other reporting that we re hearing because we always like to go to the source. chairman nadler privately pushing pelosi for impeachment, telling her pelosi let him begin an inquiry, an investigation on what if any articles they would draft to vote on. does that sound accurate to you? i don t have any firs
