january 6 and you see all of this process stuff thrown at the committee and dragged into federal court and federal judges letting it drag on and on, and saying that the steve bannon trial, which requires less than a day, and requires less than a day of preparation, will be july 18th, this is an attempt to get the american public as an audience with a vested interest this this outcome to just give up on it. absolutely, this political and judicial rope adope, it s also about the midterms in june. there is this feeling that they are going to take over the house of representatives. at least historically, that s what they believe will happen. this kind of rope a trying to delay it so you can have this transition, this shift. again, i think we need to sound the alarm, lawrence. this is just the latest assault on the policy. if we don t understand it as such, we are in some case
the articles of impeachment to the senate. they would vote to convict if they don t the house has got nothing. we now have representative adam schiff saying that there is more work to be done on impeachment and that he needs to listen to his constituency rather than in the past when he was very sure that there was already impeachable twucket, take a look. certainly not for show. i mean there is more work to be done at the same time we already accumulated quite overwhelming evidence that the president, once again, sought foreign interference in an election conditioned official acts. we have another elections in which the president is threatening more foreign interference. at the same time you there, are still other witnesses, other documents that we would like to obtain. but we are not willing to go the months and months of rope adope in the courts which the administration would love for us to do. brian: i went out there and
more documents all the time. so that investigation is going to go on. what we re not prepared to do is wait months and months while the administration plays a game of rope adope in an effort to try to stall. we re not willing to go down that road, and what s more, the evidence is already overwhelming. the remarkable thing about this, and we ve done this with literally no documentary it s not contested what the president did. what s open to question is whether members of congress are going to do their duty. here with me now, a cnn national security analyst, mathen rosenberg and olivia. welcome. thank you. matthew, what do you make of what congressman schiff said right there, leaving the door open for the possibility of further testimony and investigation? we know that there are several key players we haven t heard from and also the republicans i believe had a few folks they
commanders intent very clear. the navy has decided to create a conflict. i just saw eddie gallagher in the green room. is he a little fired up about it. we will see what he says at 7:30. ed: a lot of the president s supporters fired up about impeachment as well. wrapped up week two of the public impeachment hearing. a lot of people thought maybe it s over then, at least that phase. then they will have to turn it over to the house usual area committee and democrats have to put up or shut up. are they going to move forward on articles of impeachment or not? hold on a second. adam schiff doesn t want to quite leave the stage and hand it off to judiciary. we are not foreclosing the possibility of additional depositions or hearings. but we are also not willing to wait months and months and let them play rope adope with us in the courts i is suggesting he wants to get mic mulvaney and others who have not come forward. the question really is will the democrats move forward on impeachment or
public highate s and already fighting with the white house. could his next public appearance be under oath at an impeachment hearing also the president went on his favorite network today and a fox news host tried harder than usual to challenge him. it didn t go over well. more on those stories later in the hour. but we begin tonight with the latest impeachment developments. house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff says that his committee has begun wrying his report in the impeachment investigation against president trump. and once the report is written, it ll be handed off to the judiciary committee which will draft the actual articles of impeachment. but schiff hasn t ruled out hearing from more witnesses before he submits the report. quote, we re not foreclosing the possibility of additional depositions or hearings, but we re also not willing to wait months and months and let them play rope adope with us in the courts. schiff said the committee will work both tracks on conti
