he s already made up his mind. other key senators, lindsey graham, for example, has said publicly that his mind is made up. and if you re sitting in your living room in the middle of america, it should you should ask the question, why don t they want to hear the evidence here? this is not they are meant to be holding the trial. they are the ones who are meant to be eliciting all the evidence. on one hand, they could say we ve heard it. but there is some key testimony missing. for example, national security advisor john bolton hasn t testified. pompeo hasn t testified. so if i were them and i want to prove to the american people that i m holding this full and fair process, then i would, in fact, put in some evidence. and demonstrate that you re considering everything that is before you. and lastly, as we mentioned, nancy pelosi asking the president and he s agreed to give the state of the union address. perhaps that will happen during an impeachment trial.
very ominous stuff. you don t take such a generous view of why john bolton hasn t been seen in public or testified to what he claims he knows. he s dangling some carrots out there but the truth is none of us none of you who have to make decisions in congress have heard from him. no and we would love to hear from him because bolton clearly spoke with the president on a number of important strategic issues. the defense of the kurds being most obvious. bringing north korea to the white house, another obvious thing. or rather, the folks from the taliban. you know, so i think john bolton, who has never been afraid to speak what he thinks, could be a very valuable witness. good to talk to you. thank you for joining us today. congressman don buyer of virginia. coming up next, how the democrats might be looking to resurrect the russia investigation and the mueller report in the thick of the impeachment inquiry. and why it might or might not be an effective strategy. plus, with the pu
the appearance of justice is just as important as justice itself and it doesn t matter if you re a republican or a democrat but it appears the democrats do have a different standard. why is biden and his son not being investigated? all right. joining me now is democratic congressman don buyer from virginia who held the town hall. he called for an impeachment inquiry into the president back in may. congressman, thank you for being with us. was there any sense of consensus? was there any discussion or did it mirror the polls that we see? where democrats seem to want to see the president impeached and removed from office and republicans typically don t. yeah, i think it pretty much refle reflected that. i m in a relatively blue seat and we ve been monitoring incoming calls and e-mails and it s about 3-1 for impeachment. last night, it was probably more like 4-1. at the beginning, i encouraged everybody to respect everybody

which his lawyer says he has why not get it to? if they don t they are in quite a clever position. as i say the reason john bolton hasn t testified is the white house is essentially blocked him from doing so an outside when they think about the maceo white house tried to cover things up. there are some very good reasons why they don t want of national security adviser spelling out the beans on a conversation he had with the president that there ll be plenty of people who will smell a cover-up and the democrats will be up on that. jon: the president said again today he is nothing to hide and he wants these hearings out in the open. he said he will be exonerated. listen. they should be public. what i said is very simple, there shouldn t be impeachment hearings is what i said so maybe
