he can come voluntarily and they can ask him before he gets to the question of subpoenaing the testimony, ask him to come and negotiate over it and then bring name. bill, final thoughts? i think that the key issue here. attorney general barr said that he wasn t aware of the investigation of the congressman. i take him at his word on that. i think he s gone on the record to say that this was not something that he knew about. the question prosecutorial discretion is the key issue just as you ve raised. as a defense lawyer that s what i do. vast majority of prosecutors they exercise the discretion well. i may not agree with it or think it s wrong or have clients who i think are being mistreated but at end of the day they do it the right way and the question here, especially the way this was done, going after reporters and going after people who are potentially political enemies, that s a real problem so that s where the discretion has to be reined in. it would never be the case th
phone lately urging palestinian and us a reilly officials to stop fighting, and as you mentioned while the ceasefire is holding today, the president is facing a long list of questions about how he hopes to achieve lasting peace in the middle east. i m praying this ceasefire will hold. i take bibi netanyahu when he gives me his word. reporter: the u.s. says it firm hi supports israel s right to defend itself, but some say it s the israelis who need to be reined in. we should be bringing people together. not just one side and say everything that israel does is good, a because it is not. reporter: in the wake of civilian deaths in gaza, some democrats want the white house to cancel a massive a arms deal to israel. republicans say it s proof democrats are divided. i think at least half the democrats are hostile to israel, the rest of them are afraid of those who are hostile to israel. reporter: violence abroad has many people fearful here at
be bipartisan and it doesn t appear this impeachment will be bipartisan in any way. your response to that? my response to that is that we have an obligation, and this is nothing to do with democrats or republicans any more, this has to do with what our founding fathers decided would be grounds for impeachment. a treason, bribery or high crimes and misdeamnors. bribery is written all over the transcript or the summary of that july 25th phone call. and the president has to be reined in. he can t continue to abuse the power of the presidency as he is want to do. it s our responsibility at this point to take action to impeach him and i think there will be a very powerful message that will be expressed to him tomorrow. he can have his rant today. he s going to hear from those who represent the american
so, unless something unusual happens, maybe a little after that, the united states house of representatives is going to vote to impeach the president of the united states. we seem to know how this is going to go in the house. we seem to know at least have some sense of how it s going to go in the senate, at which case we may ending up with a president who is impeached and rebuked but not removed from office and who will this seems to be a bit of a road map from what the president is going to go forward and tell his supporters. what happens next in terms of politics? what happens next to this impeached president? the most important thing that should happen is that the president recognizes that his conduct is criminal in many respects and that if he wants to not be impeached yet again, he has got to be reined in. i think the six-page letter that he just referred to suggests that he s not willing to do
anything differently. he has such contempt for the rule of law that he has established himself as a clear and present danger to the security of our country. so what do you do when you are given a constitutional mandate to be able to go through an impeachment proceeding and you do so and the president won t do those things that you re talking about? he won t be reined in, he won t recognize wrongdoing, he won t do those things. but if you believe he s a real threat, is there, after the next week or month, any more power that you as a legislator or as a legislature have or does this have to go into the hands of the american people in the election. certainly it will be in the hands of the american people, but in the intelligence committee we continue to investigate as appropriate and we will make as much as we can information available to the public as they make their decision. but there s no question that his
