know what the politics of it would be. what if house votes to impeach on a couple of articles. if they don t vote to impeach and the senate rejects it. i suspect it s not actually having a clear political effect one way or the other. so i think they should do the right thing. i think it would look a little weird if democrats won the majority in the house as a check on president trump. mueller sent a report say there s possible obstruction, which he can t exonerate the president from obstruction. and the democratic house is going to say that s an interesting report. some of the polling shows it s mildly negative to move on impeachment, so we re not going to do it and if they don t do it, how does that look? what does donald trump say after the pelosi house mueller didn t get me, pelosi didn t get me, i really am exonerated. they re safer moving ahead on hearings that are organized, disciplined sort of sober way. and maybe they end up not
which he can t exonerate the president from obstruction. and the democratic house is going to say that s an interesting report. some of the polling shows it s mildly negative to move on impeachment, so we re not going to do-touch and if they don t do it, how does that look? not even moved ahead with impeachment hearings, says mueller didn t get me, pelosi didn t get me, i really am exonerated. they re safer moving ahead on hearings that are organized, disciplined sort of sober way. and maybe they end up not impeaching or impeaching on one or two counts, but i think the pelosi people are being short-term or clever but they haven t thought through how this look. next year we really will have presidential primaries and they can control it for the next three, four, five months and have a pretty dignified sort of watergate-style impeachment process and just lay out the evidence, get people to testify. if don mcgahn doesn t testify,
about. this was from our president just yesterday. if iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of iran. never threaten the united states again. iran s foreign minister responded, quote, goaded by b team, and by that he means john bolton, donald trump hopes to achieve what others have failed to do. iranians have stood tall for millennia while aggressors are gone. economic terrorism and genocidal taunts won t end iran. never threaten an iranian. try respect, it works. with us tonight to talk about it retired u.s. army general barry mccaffrey, retired four stars on his shoulder. a heavily decorated commander in vietnam. u.s. ground commander in the gulf war. general, i see you are smiling. how does a former combatant commander like you who s been dealing directly, indirectly with iran for say, what, 50 years give or take, how do you react to that kind of thing?
chicken and the congressman, it sort of detracted from the narrative and stuff that s in the report. last week they read the report aloud, and i m not sure how many people paid attention to that. i m not sure how many americans have actually read the report. in terms of building the sort of larger story about what the president did, it looks like they have struggled. and what happens today when mcgahn says i m not coming, that means there s no hearing tomorrow. there will be no don mcgahn up there even not having to answer questions, trying to invoke the privilege and say, look, i can t do that. we re not even going to have that. there will be no hearing tomorrow so there will no event for them to use. and final question, this implication of sekulow in the cohen testimony, obviously they re all over cohen tonight saying flawed witness, already lied to congress, is not credible. does it have staying power, the accusation, do you think?
not even moved ahead with impeachment hearings, says mueller didn t get me, pelosi didn t get me, i really am exonerated. they re safer moving ahead on hearings that are organized, disciplined sort of sober way. and maybe they end up not impeaching or impeaching on one or two counts, but i think the pelosi people are being short-term or clever but they haven t thought through how this look. next year we really will have presidential primaries and they can control it for the next three, four, five months and have a pretty dignified sort of watergate-style impeachment process and just lay out the evidence, get people to testify. if don mcgahn doesn t testify, say, okay, we ll go ahead and assume what robert mueller reported and i think they could
