articles of impeachment? absolutely. i think it was very wise by the house leadership by the speaker to number one set the bar for impeachment very high and second, to say that there should not be a kitchen sink impeachment. it should be limited to ukraine. it should be short, sweet, understandable and closely tethered to the president s conduct here, which was pressuring, demanding investigations of his political rivals. i ll play to you a little bit of what the president said to his red meat rally in hershey, p.a. here he said it was better to listen to ukraine s leaders than established american diplomats. the ukrainian foreign minister. he said it so strongly. i have never seen a direct link
opening the russian counterintelligence investigation, but it s a way to change the subject away from those two articles of impeachment, abuse of power and obstruction of congress. simply put, eight short double space pages that all americans should read and that will be voted out of the judicial committee on thursday. jeremy, am i to take that, that you agree with the strategy of limiting it to these two articles of impeachment? absolutely. i think it was very wise by the house leadership by the speaker to number one set the bar for impeachment very high and second, to say that there should not be a kitchen sink impeachment. it should be limited to ukraine. it should be short, sweet, understandable and really closely tethered to the president s conduct here which was pressuring, demanding investigations of his political rivals. i ll play to you a little bit of what the president said to pl his red meat rally in hershey, p.a.me
