going to happen. the president is going to be impeached. let s look ahead to the senate trial in january. and there is some thinking here at the white house today that chuck schumer s play to try to get moderate republicans are republicans who may be sitting on the fence like susan collins of maine, mitt romney of utah. lisa murkowski of alaska to think twice about, you know, voting with the president or against him by releasing this idea of here s the way i would like to see the trial unfold. here s some witnesses that i would like to see really blew up in schumer s face. when susan collins of maine criticized him for sending the letter that he gave to senator mcconnell to the press before he had a chance to sit down and talk with mcconnell about it. the white house i s thinking also is if schumer needs to call more witnesses than were needed tore the impeachment. that means the impeachment case in the house has got to be pretty weak. the president looking at the politics of all of th
fair. it does look like in terms of public opinion and how it changed last week with the public hearings, it did not change in favor of the democrats, we can pull up the latest impeachment poll numbers and shows that now as compared to what october, there s a change of plus 1.6% now 45.3% actually oppose impeachment, so they seem to agree with you. yeah, and i would just say looking at the numbers and as someone who used to look at the numbers after i held hearings and reported back to my principals on it, they are not good, the numbers that you mentioned, there s a very substantial swing in independents and i ve seen increase focus on the notion on why are we still dealing with this, why aren t we dealing with matters that math to the american people, we did oversight but we moved a lot of

by the way, the president s council on the right to content all hearings, all the positions. he had the right to present evidence. the right to cross-examine. the right to object to evidence that was admitted. also the president s council of the right to recommend a witness list. newt gingrich did that for bill clinton. everyone of those things. none of them happened for donald trump. none of it. as a matter of fact what s happened here is that they are interviewing thebild tone witnes behind closed doors and they give the media part of the testimony, detrimental to the president. like billte taylor s opening statement, how did john radcliffe do when it came to cross-examining bill taylor? you ll never know that. they re tryingim to drive the president s poll numbers down, impeachment poll numbers up by using basically star chamber tactics. this is a political move by democrats that will destroy the presidency in the future. it s a legitimate and i will condemn it and i hope every re
