january 6th is what people were expecting. is that even on the table anymore? look, i think the charges are serious and it s very, very important that we follow through with impeachment and have the trial. as far as the impasse and negotiating, we ve had mcconnell and schumer any leahy and shelby and we got a bunch of bills passed today because people work together. i think what people are sick of in this country is folks who tend to run to their corners and are tribal instead of working together to get things done. . get to a point where we can have a trial that reveals all of the facts so we can make a decision and the charges against the president, i ll say once again are very, very serious charges. we should not be taking them lightly. ? so, look, obviously, now they
something so partisan. the only bipartisan vote that was had in this vote is not to move forward. remember two democrats joined with us. the other part is we have never had an impeachment in the first term. they are so afraid to face the president in election they are trying to frame him. ainsley: that s why they are doing this? it s exactly why they are doing it. you see it time and again. they have already accused him of being guilty and keep changing the term because they are trying to find a crime. ainsley: they are going to face him the next election because the senate is not going to find impeachment. no they won t. remember in the house, remember what the speaker of the house nancy pelosi said in martha. impeachment is so divisive to the nation. it has to be some compelling. so overwhelming and bipartisan. there is nothing compelling, there is nothing overwhelming and thirdly the only bipartisan vote was to stop the impeachment inquiry. brian: kevin, tough have a strategy ov

can make their decision. bill: are you seeing any this president won t be removed on this basis. bill: are you seeing any cracks in the republican wall as you reflect on the senate now? what i m seeing is cautionary comments based on what might happen in the future. keep your options open. there are a couple of senators who have done that but i think they will fall back in line. there are a couple of people who said i don t know if this is really serious. i don t think it is really serious because you go back to the 2016 when senator menendez and durbin and leahy sent a letter to the ukrainian government said aid is in question here unless you help us find out what went on in this election. so again that s very similar to what they are accusing the president of. i don t think there is a there there. a poet said that about oakland, california. i don t think there is a there here. i don t think there is anything
