3:00 in the morning, you ever wake up and say, do i really want to defend this guy? no, from the standpoint, look, if that s the accuser, if that s the level of credibility against this president, i choose the president. secondly, if there are legitimate accusations real evidence-based approach, then we ought to absolutely follow that. but right now, i think this is all, including chairman nadler s investigation, is a rush to impeachment. and i think it is what the abuse of power that people fear out of congress, and meanwhile, so while mr. cohen was testifying, we were holding a hearing on china and the impact of that on trade and jobs and people s welfare. so i feel, i try to be focused on the business of the people. and the judiciary committee, by the way, what happened to immigration reform? to patent reforms on drug prices? what happened to a number of the priorities they said to americans that this is what we ll do. okay. you have a lot of interesting points there, but i wa
here, they find breakthroughs. like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient s own t-cells. and a new therapy that gives the blind a working gene so they can see again. because it s not just about the next breakthrough. it s all the ones after that. breaking news. the chairman of the house judiciary committee, jerry nadler, who would be in charge of any impeachment proceedings is defending the wide-ranging investigation he has just launched into president trump, his business, and his personal life. he insists the investigation is not about impeachment. here is what he just said. this is not a pre-impeachment hearing. our goal is not to decide
evidence. i know this. when chairman nadler in 1999 defended president clinton which he did, fair point. he made clear he didn t believe the president committed perjury or obstruction of justice, and quote, if he did, neither of them are impeachable offenses. he s singing a much different tune today. my belief, because he s under incredible pressure to rush this to an impeachment, while ignoring, i think, the big issues of the american people really want us to focus on. well, i appreciate your time. thank you very much, congressman. thank you very much. next, for democrats, 2020 is all about trump, so why will none of them say his name? we ve got to beat that person in the white house. the guy who always wants to be in the spotlight. and some of the biggest names in hollywood paying tribute to 90210 actor luke perry who died at the very young age of only 52. each day justin chooses to walk.
politics is for civil liberty, civil rights, and the rule of law. and that s what we have to protect. and if protecting that says no impeachment, then i will not support impeachment. if protecting that says go the different course, i will go that course. and someone coming and saying, short circuit the process, do this, do that, i m going to ignore. i have to follow my oath and my duty to the citizens of this country. so even though there s 81 people and more coming, you are not yet there. when it comes to impeachment? no. no. no. we are as i ve said, we are far from that. we would have to see and this is not a pre-impeachment hearing. our goal is not to decide whether there s impeachment. hi i. it may come to that if the facts show that and it may not. our goal is to protect the rule of law and our country and our liberties and our separation of powers against a administration that is violating all of them. that is abusing power, seizing power, denigrating the role of
president. there are plenty of democrats who could say, this president should be impeached on that alone. and there are probably republicans who would have said that about obama and they would have been wrong. they would have been very wrong. much wrornger. no, i m not ready to say that. impeachment is a political act. and i think the way that jerry nadler is going about it is the right way. you investigate and you present evidence and maybe you find very little. but, you know, for rob and i think that democrats are cautious, because of, thanks ari fleischer, because of because of the senate. they re not actually going to succeed at kicking hip o ining but if someone is going to sit here and say, republican senators, no matter what jerry nadler and other committees will find, republican senators will never impeach, that s pretty scary. but we do know, it was the same thing on the opposite side of the coin, though, with clinton. clinton did, he was he admitted to lying t
