congress, i don t think she shows up, doesn t invoke the fifth, tells us a lot of stuff. but they haven t spoken to her yet. there are people who have not spoken to prosecutors who, in theory, if they appeared would give us new information. that would be a remarkable mabe moment, let s just say right here and now. thank you very much for all the expertise, guys. this story is benjamin netanyahu calls it a witch-hunt. that sounds familiar. we have a live report on that next. ility. thursday at 10? robot cage match. the 28th at 3? done. with unitedhealthcare medicare advantage plans, it s easier to get the care you need.
president trump a second term with all of this evidence out there. so and not to mention, you have a set of democrats that the less liberal democrats who don t want to talk about any of this, who just want to talk about the agenda that they campaigned on, healthcare and whatnot, through the 2018 elections. so she really is walking a fine line trying to balance all of the needs of her caucus and not only that, the democratic party at large. you can understand it s a very tough one because the energy suck that would be impeachment that the country has already lived through and the damage that everybody says that it does to the country, yet nobody s above the law. and so obviously congress, if they think that crimes have been committed, needs to do something so they don t send the message that somebody s above the law. and in particular in manisome ways the president is a little bit above the law, right? we have this doj policy which i agree the southern district may well push back
democrats? you can t disentangle impeachment from removal. they re part of the same process. and one the big risks for democrats is that it ties things up in congress. it becomes the sole focus as soon as you start doing it. it also invites attention on the functioning of congress. i mean, once the impeachment process started with respect to president clinton there are was a lot of focus on the congress. and i think if you were to ask then speaker gingrich if he d do it all over again, he d probably say no because he lost a lot through that. and so that s another danger. and the third is that it won t be successful. you can potentially impeach the president, but he s not going to get removed in the senate, particularly not for what we re talking about right now. you know, we re going into an election cycle in 2020 and it s one of the reasons why
excitement. i think the louder i say it the more convincing i am they ll believe it. it s friday, march 1st, 6:00 here in new york. new this morning, blood is thicker than intelligence. a report that broke in the new york times says the president personally his then chief of staff john kelly to give jared kushner, his son-in-law, a top security clearance, and he did it over his own intelligence officials and despite the recommendations of white house lawyers. general kelly was said to be so disturbed by what was going on he wrote a contemporaneous memo which is washington speak for i need cover. the report confirmed by the washington post directly contradicts the president s public denials that he had any role in kushner s security clearance. so this morning you can bet that congress has new questions about what, according to these reports, are a new round of lies fro the president to the american people. meanwhile, they re offering
to bank fraud, these are crimes. so then what does congress do about that? well, i think up until now it s been robert mueller. for the last two years the person leading the investigative charge has been robert mueller and only robert mueller. and think we re in the pro safs changing of the guard right now. i think moving forward it s going to be congress, the house in particular, and the southern district of new york. as we saw this week i think it was a perfect preview. we thought michael cohen s testimony was going to be the capstone, this dramatic climax. but the twist was it ended up feeling like chapter one of the story because so many new doors have now opened up. that s where we ll see congress and the southern district going over the next few years. you know, chris cuomo had the former new jersey governor on who had this notion of what the southern district is doing. listen to this. what they re doing, i m confident, is building a case for two things. one, to go after th
