the answer is never to compare donald trump to jesus and any in any way. but also the analogy is inaccurate in that he s had every opportunity to do that. also there s been a preponderance of evidence, and really this was just a bad way of trying to make the process argument that was a consistent theme throughout the day yesterday. let me just one correction. and that is what he was trying to say is the whistle-blower is the accuser that he wasn t able to face. and i think that was the point poorly made, but that was the point. even that point doesn t make sense. here s the list of accusers he could have faced. fiona hill, sondland but the person who started it all. i understand but all of those testified to the very same thing the whistle-blower made. again, i mean, i m just saying he s making a point. again, i don t think the point was well made, but it is a
caucus meetings. clearly didn t want to answer questions there, but we ll see. she s, of course, going to have to field those questions at the press conference and we ll get a sense about whether she can provide any more clarity. the fact clyburn said that was interesting but it s ultimately her decision, nancy pelosi. she s going to make the call about how long to hold on to the articles and whether to submit them at all to the senate. most people think they ll ultimately be sent over. it s just a matter of when. listen, i get the process argument here and that s become the central republican defense here, but nia-malika, is it politically damaging for republicans, including mcconnell or graham who said this? i m not going to be a partial juror, even though the text of the oath that they state at the start of a senate trial as prescribed by the founders says we ll do impartial justice here. are there not political risks for what s interesting is once the sort of reports about th
because the president doesn t want these documents to see the light of day. i ask for unanimous consent chairman to enter these into the record along with the article trump administration resist ukraine disclosures ordered by court. time has expired. what purpose does the ranking member seek recognition. thank you. we re coming to the end here it is amazing to me especially from hearing from one of the my frankly either side of the aisle. make a statement that the only thing we have to offer was a process argument all day. he may have had to come in and out. for 12 hours we have ordered the fact and argued the facts there and over and over again that the call the aide was released of the there was nothing done. and that has been the argument.
we have a process argument because the process argument has a lot to do with where weav re . the facts have been taken on and rebuffed every single hour of the day. since 9:00. it is amazing to me that one thing that my friend said is we look forward to this and going forward, it has to be said. this is concerning for many of us a focus group impeachment. when you couldn t make quid pro quo is not something we all use. but bribery is something somebody understands. extortion. doing something illegal is something understandable. what we have heard is a lot of discussion about crimes that they couldn t charge. or put in the articles of impeachment. if they were so set he did all of these crimes that would mentioned put them in the articles. you can t. that s the biggest flaw in struggle you re having.
