is a huge achievement for president trump and republicans. his biggest legislative achievement since tax reform in 2017. something he has been harping on for years and consistent on trade. well, i was on president obama s export counsel, bipartisan. i m a supporter of fair and free trade. usmca is a good thing. i do think that tom s point that moderate democrats will have something to go back to. the other two things to unpack in the last 24 hours the i.g. report. bill: the last 60 minutes. the i.g. report. i m glad to see the f.b.i. showed no bias but disappointed in the procedural process of fisa. with respect to the impeachment process no surprise we re in this partisan polarizing environment and i look forward to move to the senate. bill: adam schiff last hour. sound bite three first of all. adam schiff on the hill.
overheard saying i will impeach the president and kavanaugh. the man is obsessed with not serving the public or defending his oath of office. he is obsessed with impeaching the president and drug everybody else with him. bill: adam schiff said we could go to court for 8 to 16 months and said why not wait asking this rhetorical question, why not let him cheat in one more election. you heard that comment as well. that s complete malpractice from adam schiff. the white house was willing to participate. you have the cards and deck stacked against you where you can t have the formal investigative process and you claim impeachment, you claim not normal house hearing. normal house hearings are what he tried to do. when you claim impeachment much more was required and he failed. they will go down in history along with the speaker of having the most partisan impeachment on the less facts of any we ve seen simply because they have issues with the president. bill: thank you for your time, d
your conversations are like when you aren t on the camera. the comments and off many understand the process is going way too fast. minority hearing day they re concerned about. the complete trashing of the rules of minority hearing day and minority rights we have emphasized part of this impeachment process or not. many senior democrats on the dais yesterday and when i talked to them on the floor are concerned that chairman nadler and speaker pelosi said we aren t getting a minority hearing today. that s the trashing of the house rules. bill: we re seeing the democrats come to the room now. want to ask you about the i.g. report. another significant story that will go front and center tomorrow on the senate side. speaker pelosi at the microphone. on this solemn day i recall that the first order of business for members of congress was the solemn act to take an oath to protect and

his answers are privileged and we have to go back to court for another 8 or 16 months. the argument why don t you just wait amounts to this: why don t you just let him cheat in one more election? why not let him cheat just one more time? why not let him have foreign help just one more time? that is what that argument amounts to. the president s misconduct goes to the heart of whether we can conduct a free and fair election in 2020. it is bad enough for a candidate to invite foreign interference in our political process but far more core osive for a president to do so and to abuse his power to make it so. despite everything we ve uncovered the president s misconduct continues to this day unapologetically and right now. as we saw when he stood on the white house lawn and he was asked what did you want in that
