obstruction trap to hold this president on impeachment offenses. this is not a real impeachment. this is like a faux impeachment. reporter: but chuck grassley writing that the whistle-blower ought to be heard and protected. uninformed speculation is counterproductive and doesn t serve the country. and of course something to remember, volcker abruptly resigned after the release of the whistle-blower complaint and the transcript of the trump phone call. also the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine was scheduled to appear today. her testimony has now been moved to next friday. thank you very much for all of that background. the state department s inspector general will give an urgent matter of some kind to congressional staffers in just a few hours. what does he want to reveal? how will this impact the impeachment inquiry? all of that is next. i think this is the mystery of the day.
narrative to impeach the president? they are creating an obstruction trap to try to hold this president on impeachable offenses, and we have to call them out on it. sean: devin nunes, look at the parallels here. hillary clinton s dossier, russian dossier with lies that impacted the 2016 election. if they didn t about that. they didn t care about ukrainian interference and a dnc contractor working with ukrainians to impact our election, politico acknowledging in january 2017 that they were successful? where are all those people that said we can t have this? there are a couple things that your audience needs to know about. that is that this is not a real impeachment. this is like a faux impeachment. what they are doing is, by keeping this in the house intelligence committee, it is not a place to run impeachment
they expect? they would get elected and reelected and yet they are going to try to use the same narrative to impeach the president. they are creating an obstruction trap to try to hold this president on impeachable offenses and we have to call them out on it. sean: look at the parallels here, hillary clinton s dossier, lies that impact the 2016 election, they didn t care about that. they didn t care about ukrainian interference and a dnc contractor working with ukrainians to impact our election, politico acknowledging in january 2017 that they were successful? where are all those people that said we can t have this? there are a couple things that your audience needs to know about. that is that this is not a real impeachment. this is a photo impeachment.
immigration. this is not helping. so what s so fascinating, rick tyler, is you have two conservative leading voices in washington, lindsey graham and also matthew continetti both saying donald trump could go down, not over russian collusion, but over all these things he s doing on the side where he may be setting up a perjury trap, he may be setting up an obstruction trap, an abuse of power trap, while the underlying crime of collusion may never be proven. just might be a really dumb guy. a lot of other conservatives, people supporting him, saying please just stop. pass a tax bill, repeal obamacare, pass regulatory reform, get this country growing at 3%, 3.5%. that s what a lot of them are saying. i think the president does feel a little bit inoculated from his behavior in that two things would have to happen for him to suffer, i think, serious
by former clinton impeachment attorney, a seasons washington attorney known for tough aggressive tactics, a move many believe could have positioned the white house better should mueller issued a subpoena and in other documents this is looking like it will be quite a fight. the white house is not commenting on that revelation about stormy daniels. at least so far. we will see what they have to say. very interested in the expenses and if you use the word expenses does that make a significant difference. thank you so much, appreciate it. donald trump says he is willing to sit down with robert mueller despite warnings that it could be an obstruction trap but the probe has gone so far off the rails that subpoenaing the president would be illegal. it is not an ongoing investigation.
