The rules committee will come to order. We welcome back our two witnesses. At this time i am happy to yield to my distinguished i would like to yield to our colleague for some questions she may have. Without objection. Our witness. Without objection. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify one thing. We had a line of questioning from mr. Cole right before we broke and it had to do whether or not there had been subpoenas issued for Ranking Member nunes phone records and, you know, there seemed to be some confusion from our two witnesses here. But i recall the testimony that we had in judiciary which was that in fact no subpoenas had been issued for any member of congress or for any journalist that the Intel Committee has subpoenaed meta data, just call records, not actually phone taps, of four people who had been involved in this scheme to abuse the power of office and smear ambassador yovanovitch. After each of those people had been subpoenaed individually, so that was giuliani, sondland,
Not a complete washout of a day. However, were not clear of the rain just yet. I want to take you what to expect. 51 degrees in San Francisco. Not too cold. Not too hot. And look at satellite radar. You can see the majority of it showing up on radar. A lot of cloud cover for us, and fresno and the monterey area, still getting showers and up through the sierra as well, getting a lot of rain and expecting to see more snow accumulations. Now, in through the afternoon, we still have another chance of showers, the reason for that is because we have another cold front, this one is pretty weak though, not expecting a high amount of accumulation, from the rain, it is going to move from north to south, so into the evening, around 4 00, 5 00, i will time this out for you a little bit better in terms of your city. We are going to be another round of showers, and as we head into the overnight hours, more heading in tomorrow, and that is going to bring an additional change into the workweek as well
Republican party like weve never had before. We didnt lose one republican vote and and 3 democrats voted for us. This was just an excuse. You are the ones obstructing justice. You are the ones bringing pain and suffering to our republic for your own selfish personal political and partisan gain. Its cheapened up, its exactly what our Founding Fathers didnt want and they said it could happen and its happening. Maria yeah, historic night last, joining the conversation from new york, fox business dagen mcdowell, republican pollster Kristin Anderson is here and former wall street journal editor stephen moore. It was a historic night last night, dagen, i was able to watch the proceedings from the gallery last night and it was something to see, the third president in our history to get impeached. Dagen Andy Mccarthy writes in the New York Post that this count will likely pick up because theres a new bar, a lower bar for impeaching a president not one criminal act alleged in the 2 earlies of a
The go with the free cspan radio app. House members will have one hour to debate a rule tomorrow that sets up six hours of general debate equally divided on the house floor before a final vote takes place on those two articles of impeachment. The rules for debate were approved by the House Rules Committee earlier this evening on a partyline vote of 94. [indiscernible chatter] are you ready . The rules committee will come to order. The rules committee will come to order. It is unfortunate that we have to be here today. But the actions of the president of the United States make the necessary. President trump withheld congressionally approved a two ukraine, a partner under siege come a not to fight corruption but to extract a personal political favor. President trump refused to meet with ukraines president in the white house until he completed this scheme. All the while, leaders in russia , the very nation holding a large part of ukraine hostage, the very nation that interfered with our e
Rules committee will come to order. Ill now yield to the gentleman from texas, dr. Burgess. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I thank our witnesses for staying with us throughout all of this. I know youve been through a lot alread already, but i cant help but be struck by the fact that this does seem to be proceeding rather rapidly. It did, after all, all start with a phone call. No, not with a phone call in july but with a phone call in november when Molly Hemingway overheard incoming chairman nadler talking to constituents on the telephone and said that impeachment of the president was going to be of the highest order so although theres not a transcript of that call, it was well documented in social media and that seems to be one of the things that we can now use as evidence that can be introduced.
