right, exactly. all this classified information. it s the obstruction thing that is inexplicable. he was told, his lawyers were told, you can make it right. they were full four months, you can make this right. we want this information, you can make this right-hand. as this information. and they consistently ignored it, clearly lied about it, and kept the materials. so, it s the failure to make it right that i think is damning and does not really matter when the contents of the information we re. peter strzok, the post goes on to say the fbi team goes on to reviewing docks seized from the storage closet at mar-a-lago. thiem came across documents that was really restricted, so much so, that even the senior officials in the biden administration were not authorized to review them. and you headed the fbi counter espionage operation. what does a government do, as it became clear, you know, that this kind of information is potentially compromised? what happens? well, don, you ve
one of the reasons why you view it in a scif or make it inaccessible to say cameras on iphones is you really do not want people emailing it xeroxing it, circulating it. so, just the fact that it was sitting around means anyone, including trump, could come along and copy it and then share it with someone else. so it s the copying and duplication that is worrisome. and then of course it s the foreign spiraling and espionage to get their hands on it and now they know something about say another countries nuclear capabilities or limitations. and then the third is, you know, are there exchanges being made for this information? this is what we do not know. this is why. so i think it is. but i want to just really sort of second your point. we re so focused on the picture right, exactly. all this classified information. it s the obstruction thing that is inexplicable. he was told, his lawyers were told, you can make it right.
playing the republicans process game. it s like whether this is a fair trial or not. how about going to a foreign leader and saying, give me dirt on my political opponent. that s what this is about. i think what leader schumer is also say is in the poll, more than 60% of republicans think that witnesses should come and testify, and he wants republicans who are vulnerable to be held accountable for that. so i don t think they re going to be pushing the letter. as speaker pelosi just did, she s like, this is crazy. this is ridiculous. i think that s what democrats will do, but they re going to push harder on their own process the president also wanted witnesses to testify until mitch mcconnell told him that wouldn t be a good idea because we want to get this over with. but it was the president who said, i want to hear from people who can clear my name. and suddenly the republicans are saying, oh, no, we re on the obstruction thing, so it turns out during the nixon impeachment,
saying, oh, no. on the obstruction thing, i think david might find this interesting or have a comment on it. it turns out during the nixon impeachment, hillary clinton went and did some research on how many times presidents had been accused of obstructing congress thinking this would be a rare occurrence. as it turns out, every president from george washington forward was accused because that s a balance of power issue. i m a house guy. that s a balance of power issue that literally not in an impeachment trial so she said let s not use this and it got published. you can look at the publication of the research from the nixon and i don t know if you have any the difference is that nixon sent witnesses up to the hill to testify. nixon sent documents. talking about obstructing congress as an impeachment issue. that was the question he faced of obstruction. and he actually turned over the tapes when the court ruled. there was oversight, checks and balances. my point is that
happen. sol wisenberg asked the question or made the point, this did not move the needle, amazing when nancy pelosi, who we are about to hear from in a short bit, nancy pelosi was asked about the hearing and she was watching it. she said just a little bit, only a few moments. greg: passed by a big box store and saw it. dems are caught in this dilemma, they love the indictment strl and collusion story but americans doesn t. the more they use these golf clubs, it keeps them from coming up and generating ideas that might attract voters. the collusion argument is equivalent of smoking pot when you wake up in the morning. you get nothing done the rest of the day, democrats. start collusion early, you re done. [laughter] sandra jesse? jesse: everybody knows collusion didn t happen. obstruction thing, you cannot impeach president for
