and the clock is ticking on the desperate search for five people trapped on board a sub, after crews detected underwater noises. then, money power and politics. why you need to pay attention to a new florida law on car sales. as the 11th hour gets underway on this wednesday night. good evening once again, i m stephanie ruhle. house republicans have moved to punish one of donald trump s most prominent critics. earlier this evening, the house voted along party lines to censor california democrat adam schiff for his comments about trump, and for his role in investigating the former president. schiff s fellow democrats erupted in protest won the vote was announced. on this vote, 218 and the nays are 209. with six answering present, the resolution adopted without objection, the motion that considers will remain on the table. the house will be in order. schiff, who was now running for senate, led the first impeachment and was also a member of the january six committee. the vo
Power like a weapon against his own people, erodes our decency, degrades our dignity. I dont yet know how they will tell the story of this era, but i want to tell you the story of this day. Let the record show that today justice won, that we did our job, that we kept our word, that we stood our sacred ground. Let the record show that we did not let you down. I love you. Listen to mom. Ill be home soon. Gentlemans time has expired. Gentleman from oklahoma. Thank you, madam speaker. Im going to reserve my time for the moment. Gentleman reserves. Gentleman from massachusetts. Im proud to yield one minute to the gentle woman from california, ms. Lee. The gentle lady is recognized for one minute. First let me say i taught my children that there are consequences if they broke the
law. I am saddened but im not shocked that we are here today considering articles of impeachment against President Trump. Im saddened, but im not shocked because of the pattern of corruption we have seen from this p
it was not a legitimate basis to open a full investigation. while republicans supported durham s findings, democrats, including schiff, pushed back hard. the russians released stolen emails through cut outs, did they not? there were emails. it s a very simple question. did they release stolen information through cut outs, yes or no? i m not sure. you really don t know the answer to that? the answer is yes, they did. i don t think it s any question that the russians intruded into hacked into the systems, they released information. trump made use of that, as i said, didn t he? by touting those stolen documents on the campaign trail over 100 times? i said, i don t really read the newspapers or listen to the news. yes i don t know that. mr. durham, urine investigation cost more than involved the word of dozens of
republicans. steve scalise, the number two republican, then offered a point of order essentially saying the same thing, there were no minority rights, not enough witnesses, more information had to come out. this vote right now chris, i m glad you pointed out, this is on the previous question, it will be followed by a second vote on the rule. tom cole said if republicans can win this previous question and republicans take control of the process, they will demand six things including schiff releasing all of the intel information, including schiff testifying. republicans are suggesting that this process actually becomes a substantive issue because it invalidates the entire impeachment process which is what donald trump wants to be able to say that this is invalid, that is a scary space to be in, unlike the contrition of a bill clinton. but it s what we ve come to expect in trump s republican party. you know the way things work, garrett, you vote party line when it comes to the previou
now been verified by the lieutenant colonel, lieutenant colonel, okay, he s another beauty. so where is where is all of this stuff that was gonna happen? once i right fieeleased it, i r it quick, quickly. once i released it, all of a sudden the second whistle-blower disappeared. the first whistle-blower who is all set to testify, he all of a sudden becomes this saint-like figure that they don t need him anymore. the one that everybody wanted to see including schiff was the whistle-blower. once i released the text of what happened, the transcript, that was the end. everybody disappeared. so now there s no informer. there s no second whistle-blower. everybody s gone. and by the way, a guy like sondland, nobody ever says, he said very strongly that i said i want nothing and no quid pro quo. nobody says that.
