today. the judiciary committee is going to move forward and as speaker pelosi has said the president is doing no favors by this kind of obstruction. what does it mean they re going to move forward? are there witnesses you re looking to hear from more than tb the subpoenas that have been issued? we re going to look at ambassadors involved and we re going to continue to ask who at the state department can knew but ultimately is going to the judiciary committee. nadler is going to draw up articles. and i expect the house before the end of the year will have a vote on impeachment. are you limiting the inquiry to the ukrainian call or can be more expansive as the evidence kp comes in? it will be more expansive. a lot of committees have already
ukrainian officials about whether or not look into things. this is what all the subpoenas are about. griff: at the center of subpoenas. center of the impeachment inquiry. and we are learning more as we hear from more ambassadors and other key players in it. jedediah: amused. pete. pete: i can t wait. because there is no formal process to your point going through regular committee practice control who is compelled. griff: speaker pelosi has responded saying there is no constitutional requirement to hold a vote and no congressional precedent that they should. however, the concern for nancy pelosi and other democrats is that other members of her caucus are getting way ahead of themselves moving far too fast in this entire process. pete in fairness to nancy pelosi this is the most cowardly impeachment america has ever seen. either you will impeach this guy because you think you
go. what will you be watching and listening for when they come out to that podium? what if it doesn t work, chris? that s the big question here. in the mueller investigation we saw chairman judiciary chairman jerry nadler issue 12 different subpoenas for individuals like john kelly, former white house chief of staff, jared kushner. a lot of them were ignored and are now tied up in the court system. speaker pelosi has said she doesn t want to wait on the court system in this case, that they re going to plunge ahead, that they feel they already have the information based on what the white house itself made public to go ahead and pursue impeachment articles. so the big question will be what additional tools including potentially contempt on inherent contempt, a blatant power that congress hasn t used, frankly, in a century to try to compel these witnesses. if it doesn t work, what is next? this also is a very momentous week because today we have a lot
democrat, congressman ro khanna who sits on the oversight committee. thank you for being back on the show. great to be back on. the president s allies according to my reporting and others, very much want to make this about how democrats are front-burning impeachment and back-burning anything else legislative. doesn t that make you vulnerable? that s not true. in fact, speaker pelosi has said the first thing we re going to do when we get back from recess is introduce a drug bill. it s mitch mcconnell and the president who aren t signing the legislation. so you feel like you had the messaging to be able to fight back against what we know and have already seen has been a push from republicans to point the finger at you and your fellow democrats and say you re simply not doing the work the american people want you to do? i do, because the truth is on our side. we ve passed over 250 bills. the reality is these bills are dying in the senate. we re doing both. we are holding the pre
i ll let you guess the abbreviati abbreviation, but do they need to get on the same page with their messaging? what should their tone be? i think the t the tone that speaker pelosi has said. isn t just her tone. he was under intense pressure over the last three or four months to do more. to go faster. to really try to punish this president and hold him accountable through impeach. . she to do back and said not yet. we don t have what we need to go forward. let s not turn this into a divisive political b football. and you crane happened and she saw no choice to move. so there are going to be people in both parties who say things that don t necessarily reflect the entire party. i don t think the t-shirts are helpful. but that s their opinion. you know just like the breitbart and fox people have their
