paid by tax payers. but she has no downside, politically, to going in this direction. and pelosi does. that s the difference. let me just push back on the political analysis. pelosi has everything riding on this. if he s re-elected and she didn t impeach because she was scared of the politics, then what? then how? then why? and elizabeth warren is running for president with 700 people, she s staking her presidency on her clarity if x and y, he committed crimes and robert mueller found them and said he didn t not commit crimes, then why you impeach. if i can jump in. go ahead. if trump is elected then speaker pelosi doesn t get her dream of prosecution either. the statue of limitations for obstruction of justice is five years. if trump is re-elected, the
i think though, unfortunately, mrs. pelosi doesn t want impeachment because she recognizes it would put those peoplees at risk. however, she has control over a lot of the committee chairmen. i think she has a lot of them locked up. but she s egging it on when she talks about the president is involved in a cover-up, he s plunged us into a constitutional crisis, that his attorney general came and committed a crime before congress. she s feeding the people and the movement that she claims not to. i think paul: she s saying, basically, he committed impeachable offenses, but we don t want to impeach because republicans in the senate right. and she s kind of putting herself in the position damned if she does, damned if she doesn t. becausef if she says all this, people would rightly say, well, why don t you impeach? paul: thank you, gentlemen. when we come back, kamala harris rolls out a proposal for some 80 million workers. i am going to announce the
different than what s in the report but the fact that democrats heard him articulate in no uncertain terms that the only recourse that we could have against this president is if congress decides to do something, and so i think that when they come back next week we may see a greater shift and even if pelosi doesn t want to pursue this, whether or not she can hold off because of the pressure. it s a great point because they are all moem homhome this . they will come back home and say let s go for impeachment or back off impeachment. one of the reason nancy pelosi says represent your constituents and say what you have to say, one of the reasons she s trying to protect the democrats that flipped republican sits, all the democrats calling for impeachment came from pretty safe districts. these are very safe democrats from the bluest of blue districts, you know. that s the politics back home so they are safe. pelosi, is much more worried about the people who flipped
now on the democratic leadership in the house, i think speaker pelosi doesn t want to do impeachment, she s been hoping to run out the political calendar clock if you will. get to labor day and say let s get through the presidential, don t distract from that. i think this one-two punch of amash basically putting himself out there, making this a bipartisan call and mueller making it crystal clear what he believed whose job this is. it s basically congress, it s now up to you. it s your call. chuck, again a reminder for our viewers and listeners on sirius satellite radio, this is what we heard from bob mueller a few moments ago as it relates to the possibility that he might testify before congress either publicly or privately. take a listen. i would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress. in addition, access to our
convincingly complete about. but we need to complete it. we need to hold hearings. the american people need to hear these prosecutors explain why we have a criminal in office. a 446-page report that almost nobody reads is not going to change people s minds. as soon as we have hearings, it s going to be time to pull the impeachment trigger. your point is well taken. but as you know, typical majority of americans, according to all the recent polling, don t want impeachment right now. you can see there, 59% say no, 37% say yes. and pelosi says her strategy is working, that there were a number of court rulings as you point out in democrats favor this past week. is this wait-and-see game working? i think the fact is that in the nixon case, the support for impeachment was even less until
