impeach president trump today? it s the democrats. sure here in the house the democrats running this inquiry declared they ve done everything needed. they have all of the testimony and evidence necessary to impeach right now. but right now down the hall, democrats in the senate are saying the exact opposite. they re complaining. they need more evidence and more testimony because senate democrats know that house democrats have built them a house of cards impeachment. an impeachment built by the same democrats who told america, trust us, president trump committed treason. he s a russian agent. and we ve got evidence. which of course proved to be totally false and to quote the favorite catch phrase of one member of this house, they got caught. along the way, those same democrats said trust us. the fisa law and court weren t abused by the obama administration using democratic opposition research dossier against the trump campaign and president trump.
followers. okay, betsy, you first on the gop witness wish list, if you will, by republicans. what s your reaction? you know, this list reads like it s essentially corralling the characters who congressman devin nunes has been focused on over the last couple of years. you know, while mueller was investigating russian interference in the 2016 election, nunes, who was the chairman of the house intelligence committee and is now its top republican member, spent years sort of going after this alternative narrative, trying to unearth, for instance, trying to prove allegations of ukrainian collusion, which have not in any meaningful way then corroborated, trying to push this notion that the real story was an opposition research dossier that fusion gps put together. in fact, he pressed ambassador gordon sondland on fusion gps when sondland was being deposed in one of his impeachment
i m richard louie alongside louis bergdorf. it is the bottom of the hour. president trump once again attacking attorney general jeff sessions. in a series of tweets on saturday, the president criticized sessions while also slamming christopher steele, the former british intelligence officer who authored an opposition research dossier on trump and former associate attorney general bruce ohr. he tweeted, the many meetings with deputy ag bruce ohr and his beautiful wife nellie. fusion gps hired him to write the phoney dossier paid for by crooked hillary and the dnc. do you believe nellie worked for fusion and her husband still works for the department of justice? our ag is scared stiff and missing in action. it is all starting to be reveal. not pretty. ig report soon.
politically it seems like one of the stupidest things, willie, they could do. i think in the case of president trump he s not thinking about politics or even the american people. he s thinking about his own hide. he thinks if this can somehow suggest that the investigation into potential ties with the russian government during the campaign is flawed, that it s corrupt, that it s biased, he ll take it at the end of the state of the union, 100%, i m going to release the memo, he said. a senior white house official told nbc news quote i doubt there will be any redactions of the memo. republicans say the memo show the fbi relied on an opposition research dossier funded by the democrats to get fisa surveillance of former trump adviser carter page, who the campaign alternately embraced and distanced itself from. democrats say it distorts classified material to undermine robert mueller s probe into the 2016 russian interference in the election.
