with your premise and conclusion. for many of the moderates you spoke of earlier they did not want to revisit what they view as a complete disaster and the american people view as a complete disaster. i think that s why they aren t dealing with it and why they went to abuse of power. let s be honest. abuse of power gives them cover to say anything they want to say. this is what really should disturb most of us when we look at this. i don t care what political persuasion you with. what is to keep a future congress and president saying i don t like this way they talk to congress. that s an abuse of power. we ve had eric swalwell say firing an ambassador is an impeachable offense. i don t know what planet he is on. they serve at the pleasure and discretion of the president. abuse of power is ambiguous. it is easy because they can fit anything they want to into that. bill: what s the difference between obstruction of justice and obstruction of congress? i think the interesting thing he
tell you? on the mueller report i think it s very critical what we saw potentially was yesterday with the horowitz report. if the horowitz report indicated there was political bias they wouldn t have been so quick to talk about obstruction because then the idea of everything going backwards i think would have emptied out. but when you have the mueller report now standing there and it is still valid given the sources and the way the origins of the report. bill: they would go back to the mueller matter and they did not. the point to be made here is these moderate democrats in red districts or purple districts, which there are 31. that s why you narrow the field and didn t make it more broad. the point to be made there. with regard to the fisa abuse do you think there has to be a serious check on the court and the powers it has. i haven t seen abuse of the fisa court. if you have somebody submit a document that was flawed. this was flawed.
calendar you said. are you here to say the house of representatives will impeach president trump before christmas? yes. they will. because this is a clock and calendar issue. this isn t about a fact. the fact they don t like this president, last friday the economic jobs report was incredible. they don t like the fact we re stronger in military and doing things he said he was going to do. the tax act and the polls continue to free fall on the fact they can t prove impeachment and why they re doing this and they have no legislative agenda of their own. it s a clock and calendar issue. every american ought to be scared about this. the political impeachment that the founders warned us about. bill: you know your history on that. however, what they seem to have narrowed down is only two articles of impeachment. how do you believe that will
inspector general report. they are pointing to an abuse of power on behalf of top levels of the f.b.i. lindsey graham has this hearing tomorrow with michael horowitz. how do you think that is going to go? i think there will be fireworks, bill. listen, i m a big fan of the f.b.i., i love them. know mike horowitz. i think they missed the mark here. you look at that report and you just pull out 475 pages of misleading, altered documents, a lawyer who is creating documents, the emails that exist. not relying on credible information. that warrant was not worth the paper it s written on. bill: john durham put out a statement immediately as the report was released. i want to read that. based on the evidence collected to date while our investigation is ongoing last month we advised the inspector general we do not agree with some of
the argument why don t you just wait aamounts to this. why don t you just let him cheat in one more election? why not let him cheat just one more time? why not let him have foreign help just one more time? that s what that argument amounts to. bill: that s his debate there a moment ago. the trump campaign released a statement. i ll read the first line. nancy pelosi said she would not move forward on impeachment because it was too divisive and needed bipartisan support. so far there is no bipartisan buy-in. absolutely not. i m old enough to remember when the democrats were saying you have adam schiff saying that. i also believe that democrats gave an opening to republicans by making these articles so broad, obstruction of congress, abuse of power. they have essentially lowered the bar.
