to mueller. you can dove tail on obstruction. you may lose votes. are you worried if you reach back to mueller you may lose votes? i don t know how listing more crimes loses votes. under nixon articles of impeachment it lists four instances in which he obstructed. this president obstructed four times in one day. by with holding documents. keep it to ukraine. don t go beyond that or will you lose it? i haven t heard people tell me that personally. it s easy to add into an article that includes obstruction. the one that a special counsel mueller referenced. he rarely talked to the press. he came back and said in a press conference that he didn t exonerate the president. he said he s leaving specifically the articles involving obstruction to the congress to react. if it wasn t for the fact he wasn t allowed to indict the

those processes started with a crime. under nixon it was the break in at watergate. they haven t laid out a crime here. they ve been hoping for 2 1/2 years there was a crime. mueller investigation no crime. they moved on to look for something else. they thought the phone call would yield something. the president released the transcript. you can see in the transcript there is no quid pro quo. zelensky, the other person on that call, said it was perfectly fine call and in fact he appreciated the call from president trump and he got the money that he was seeking and he got the javelin missiles he was seeking as well. bill: what do you think the story will be in the public hearings? if you were predict today based on the transcripts and interviews you ve been a part what will the american people hear? i think you are going to hear some career bureaucrats who don t support president trump s agenda who didn t vote for the president. in fact, all the accounts we
