Earlier al jazeera served with william cohen. I think he was calculateing, hes been criticizing me. Let me put you on the spot now and see what youre going to do. The only difficulty with that is im also reading that perhaps even if congress should reject and not give him authority to go forward he might go forward anyway. I think that will be the worst of all words. Once you turn and say i need you to authorize this action and if they should say no you take action. It seems to me you are clouding the law. The president is facing a tough road ahead to secure support for action in syria. Tom is a blogger and writer for the guardian and his focus is Foreign Policy. Thanks so much for being with us. You written it was bad idea for the president oh to seek the approval before taking military action in syria. Given the most vently developments that the president has supports of key leaders.

See a broader expansion on what were going to see them lay out when they get to the senate floor. Thats going to be interesting to watch. If you want to know what is going behind the scenes from the preparation perspective, top lawyers from the House Judiciary Committee walked behind me, going into speaker pelosis office now, were expecting at 11 00 a. M. The house managers get a tour of the senate floor, looking at the lay of the land, where they spend the next couple of weeks. A lot of behind the scenes going on now, important filings, but still not totally clear as you noted what the actual rules will be when the trial starts tomorrow. You told me mcconnell will hold the rules until he starts tomorrow, play his cards close to his chest. Schumer telegraphing hes going to push for a vote to immediately call for witnesses in this process. What is going to happen if he pushes for that vote . Thats exactly right this is going to get interesting early there is misconception about when vot
It will be up to four republicans to side with the constitution. Weve tried to enter negotiations with the other side but they wont have any conversation until we deal with witnesses up front. Thats not what we did during the clinton trial. Now and then, President Trumps uncertain future three years to the day after the took the oath of office. The constitution of the United States. So help me god. So help me god. Congratulations, mr. President. This american carnage stops right here and stops right now. And good day. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington where we are learning new details just now about a legal brief sent this hour from the Trump Defense team to the senate, outlining its case for the president s acquittal. This as house impeachment managers at the capitol are facing serious legitimate hurdles on the senate trial, take their walk to the senate floor with no idea about how Mitch Mcconnell plans to run the proceedings, clearly a tactical move unlike in advance of bill clintons

They left on march 6th boarded in buenos aires and they were supposed to end up in chile, this whole thing erupted since then. What they told me, the governor of this state said floridians youre at low risk, continue living your lives, dont disrupt what youre doing. Two days later, on march 6th, President Trump issued a statement to america saying this all was going to be under control. They got on the ship and here they find themselves today, in terms of the number of people potentially affected, ali, ro h roughly 153 passengers and 80someold crew members who have exhibited symptoms.

Roger godell had that punishment in the dark having only seen the video clip from inside the elevator. The nfls position is we never saw it until today. Did they go to the casino and ask for it . Did they not want to see what was inside that elevator. Those are really troubling questions. Keep in mind rice is rices firing is even more will strict than the other policy they made. It may lead to the incident being pulled physical from his record. Some called out the commissioner saying they need to hold Roger Goodell accountable. No league ofl officials had seen the new footage until yesterday. Robert gray live for us this morning. Thank you, robert. Now it is time to take a look is who is talking. Clinton tortoise on the record saying it is surprising the nfl didnt seek this sooner. It is shocking to know the nfl hadnt seen this video knowing the video was out there.
