christmas. it ll be the third time in american history that the house passes articles of impeachment against a sitting president. joining me now from capitol hill with the latest. msnbc s garrett haake. again, garrett, nothing unexpected has happened so far. but there was something. this morning at 9:00 a.m., when nancy pelosi came out and says, you ve got the green light. draft the articles of impeachment. yeah. that s right. and the relevant committees are moving pretty quickly to follow the speaker s instruction. we know after her press conference this morning, pelosi met with the committee chairman from the relevant committees who will be working on this. and democrats on the judiciary committee have been told to go ahead and stick around this weekend to prepare for that monday hearing. monday hearing like this is sort of unusual in the first place. typically, congress doesn t really get up and running until tuesday, wednesday, thursday. but you can tell now that democrats are tr
ronald, who was 51 and homeless, got rehab at the nursing home where he lived for more than a year. then one night, around 10:00 p.m., he says an administrator came into his room. big smile on their face. saying we re kicking you out. they smiled? yeah. and they just bundled me into a van and just dropped me off here on the sidewalk. a later report by the state of california said that ronald was left on the sidewalk on skid row and was out of insulin, which he needs for diabetes. the report said he could have died and that his eviction was illegal. the avalon villa care center, through its lawyers, told nbc news it strongly disputes that it has inappropriately discharged any patients. the homeless shelter where ronald s living now says it s seen cases like this. experts even have a term for it. reside resident dumping. this goes back to how nursing homes in america are paid for. medicare for people over 65 and
determine just which impeachment articles we should proceed with. take a look at part of what giuliani is posting. it s a farce. evidence will be released very soon, he says, that supports his views. interesting that he brings up evidence since you well know he s been withholding participating and providing evidence with your committees. i ve got to tell you, congressman, i spoke to a very seasoned attorney today who said that it looks like potential witness tampering to have him over there talking to these people that are subjects of your probe. well, we have seen from this president witness tampering, jury tampering, intimidation of witnesses. and so it s not surprising at all. but what we have to focus on, ari, is that rudy giuliani is donald trump and donald trump is rudy giuliani. the president can throw many other people under the bus and distance themselves from them. he can t do that with rudy giuliani. we have evidence in the intelligence committee report
article because i i noted that he is sort of devalued the word traitor by by naming americans who clearly are not as people who had betrayed the country or betrayed him. and as i thought about it more, this class of people that that he has built around him to support him no matter what he does, no matter what his criminality is. no matter what his what his schemes are. no matter what unconstitutional thing he does. they will defend him to the last breath. i just found it enormously contradictory to the oath they swore to the office. congressional republicans are particularly, you know, egree s egregious examples of this breed. let me read you something from plit kwolitico about the never mind not going along with impeachment. in the response we saw the other day from the gop to the intelligence committee report even before it was put out. there wasn t even any acknowledgment that anything possibly wrong was done. politico rights even some republicans who have expressed co
but the trump character was alive and well at the time of the american revolution. somebody with blarney and salesmanship. those characters have existed forever. no quid pro quo. whether you think donald trump is guilty or innocent of high crimes and misdemeanors. the under lying questions today are exactly what the founders were concerned about. what if a president has lied, what if a president works with a foreign power. or made money off the office. that president should be removed. very good report. presidential historian joining me now. we saw him in the story. good evening. looking at the intelligence committee report. when you think about the founding fathers what are the concerns they would have about the president s conduct and behavior? about everything with donald
