we remember last month when the house oversight committee had handwritten notes by a.g. richard donahue between trump and d.o.j. officials. that pressured the officials to declare the 2020 election corrupt. quote to leave the rest to him and his congressional allies. chair of the judiciary committee senator dick durbin on cnn today, detailing the seven-hour meeting with rosen. he was being asked by the white house, the leadership of the white house, to meet with certain people who had wild, bizarre theories why the election wasn t valid. he refused to do it. i don t think history will be kind to mr. rosen. when he was initially appointed, i didn t think that was the case. as we learn more about trump s attempts to hold on to power, remember what he and others called themselves, the party of law and order.
if everybody in the country can see the phone call, and you have all of the witnesses before interprocess that is unfair could not tell you one thing that s impeachable, john ratcliffe asked the question of their top witnesses, namely one thing that is impeachable. i think for those bipartisan, the republicans and the democrats who stood together like she stood for the constitution and said no, we should move forward, i m not fearful of that. i think history would be very kind to those who took that standard for those that alexander hamilton warned us about, i don t think history would be that kind. i think adam schiff will have to answer for a great deal. one, when he told the american public that he told dominic had proof beyond circumstantial. two, when he said he wish he knew over the whistle-blower was, and how hard he was going to fight to bring that whistle-blower forward. lo and behold, he won t let that person come. and when adam schiff said he
devin nunes sees himself as protecting the president. i don t think history will see well the integrity of a person who impugns the integrity of someone trying to bring information to the attention. i wish some of that outrage would be trained on what some of us think is really outlandish behavior by the president and dangerous efforts that seem to have been a coordinated effort. not just this one phone call. but a coordinated effort to persuade or cajole the ukrainian government into investigating the president s political opposition. that s a dangerous thing and you can t just let it pass.
continues, he has no intention of stopping. now, that could be for his domestic audience, we ll see what happens when vice president pence arrives. there are still american forces in the country, they are consolidating and in the process of leaving, but if we really wanted to stop this process, they could be protecting our allies. we have an extraordinary situation here. i don t think history will remember it well. you have a campaign that the kurds describe as ethnic cleansing going on right now with turkey continuing its bombardment, with turkey continuing to send in radical militias that include, according to u.s. officials, former members of isis and al qaeda. that is happening now, as we speak. and what is happening also now, as we speak, is that u.s. forces who are not very far away from them are packing up their things, consolidating their bases so they can leave this country.
things wrong. look at what paul did wrong. those are real crimes. i don t think history s going to look back on this and judge the major players who exaggerated this very well. right. but there was a russian attorney who met with the trump folks and explained to them that russia wanted trump to win. and nothing happened after that. and nobody s been charged on anything in that at all. right. and of course we re not done yet. and mueller s report, although it s rumored that it s going to be coming out, it isn t out yet. so really i believe we still have to sit back and wait. but there s been so much pantomime, fake, farce, travesty, parody, sham, masquerade in this whole thing. i don t think it s going to measure up to watergate in the end. kirsten, do you think michael s right, that history s going to look back at this and say what was the kerfuffle about? well, there s no way to know. of course if it ends up being what a lot of people think it is then it is going to be muc
