the president. there key witness says that they haven t actually impeach him. second of all, the democrats are delaying in the name of fairness. that argument gets weaker every week that goes by that the articles have been impeached. if you want some fairness how about accusing the president of high crimes and misdemeanors and denying him at trial to defend himself. they re going to lose the fairness argument that outs in the argument over. if you don t send the articles it undermines the case for obstruction of congress because the idea of the instructed congress is absurd. he went to the courts and so they are saying that is obstruction of congress and the reason they couldn t wait for the courts was because time was of the essence. we ve got to get this done, but now they are delaying so now they have all the time of the world? the whole case disappears if they don t on the articles of impeachment over. here s one quote from a mrs. pelosi is understood from the start the inevitabl
on the lines of it being a political and court of public opinion process. how long will this charade to go on? as long as democrats can get away with it given their impeachment regularities to date it s not hard to imagine mrs. pelosi sitting on her impeachment articles through next fall s election campaign. that would deny mr. trump the ability to say he had been acquitted, even if it is insured a constant stream of negative impeachment coverage. the question to you is does nancy pelosi sort of have the president on this? there is no legal way for him or mitch mcconnell to force a trial, right? you ask a great question. i don t think there is a legal way to force senator to try the case. however, i think the president ought to take an aggressive approach here. if they don t move forward, file some motion to dismiss.
mad, sad, and frustrated by the process that s taken so long in the house or you know what? there are other things we could be doing that we are not doing. underscored by the last-minute passage of that big trade agreement between the united states, mexico, and canada. i think mexico is our number one trading partner. the fact that agreement was held up for almost one year because they didn t want to give the president a win on anything and they wanted to occupy their time with impeachment. people are frustrated by this. it will be interested to see one a trial actually begins. if it goes into january, february command into the 2020 election. another thought is the reason this is being held up as it gives time for them to be dissolution in the ranks republicans to shift, break up a little bit as it gets closer to the impeachment trial. and that cues the alaska senator, murkowski, she s known as an independent thinking
lawyer for the house judiciary committee revealed in a court filing that lawmakers could pursue even more articles of impeachment against the president. are we now facing a rolling impeachment? she kind of brings up a lot of these questions that i had. among the things she rode were republicans dismissed their tactic but why would she assume she wants a trial? how much of a stall move is this on the part of nancy pelosi? speak of the first two articles of impeachment if worked out so well for them what they want to have more. come on. i disagree with kimberly, i have no disorders respect for her. nancy pelosi has a gun to her own head and she s threatening to shoot and republicans are synced make my last day. republicans don t care when she sends them or if she ever sense them. there s three reasons why it will backfire. first because the democrats own star legal witness, noah feldman, says unless they send the articles of impeachment over they haven t actually impeach
a lot of light on what the president actually did. congressman steve going listing some of the names he hopes the senate will call as witnesses in an impeachment trial. as speaker pelosi holds onto the articles of impeachment, how long can she stall? congressman michael burgess served on the house rules committee. we appreciate you joining us on this holiday week. one of will have you with us. democrats and nancy pelosi have said they are waiting on these articles they are working to ensure there is a fair trial in the senate. there been a lot of theories floated up by republicans and folks from the other side of the aisle that think that nancy pelosi is stalling for all sorts of reasons. i want to get your thoughts on why these articles are being held. my first take is that they are holding the articles because they really had nothing in the first place so they send them over to the senate and it crashes and burns. the president is exonerated, and they did not accomplish what they
