major parties hasn t just said they don t have to go as far, but they haven t said thank you former president trump, thank you, good bye. think of richard nixon who did much less than trump in terms of his fundamental usurpation of power. but nobody thought let s have richard nixon come back. the justice department told the treasury department that it must turn over trump s tax returns to the house ways and means committee that that committee requested more than two years ago. speaker pelosi access to the tax returns is a, quote, matter of national security. how is it a matter of national security? for years people have been curious to see what are inside of donald trump s taxes because there have been lots of conversations about where did he get some of his money from, where did he get some of his loans from? are there undue influences over him and his family and his business holdings? being the first president in how
the envelope, knew he couldn t stay because of what he was about to be asked to do. rosen gets fired and gets replaced by a lower-level assistant attorney general who trump thought would do his bidding. mark esper, the defense secretary had been fired after the week of the election. think of this in a foreign country. the defense secretary fired a bunch of cronies. it s lucky that even though esper was gone, mark milley held the line are defense, it s lucky that deputy acting attorney general rosen seems to have held the line at justice, but the degree to which this was a genuine attempt by a sitting president. and he is still the leader of the republican party and is going about purging the people at the state level who also checked his usurpation. the guardrails held this

prosecutor. but they impeached him for it. this is bizarre. and look, there is no faith. it s dimmick it is time for her to give this up and finally work for the american people. we can do more on drug prices. we can have a secure border and so many other things, but they are the party of impeachment. this is all they have. dan: congressmen before i go to congressman biggs, if it is fascinating they alleged quid pro quo with the president and the first witness said never happen gordon sondland and yet the chief executive of the country concerned about corruption in foreign aid. he said that many times and yet, now we have nancy pelosi with unconstitutional usurpation of the senate powers and where is the meeting on this? celebrating how wonderful nancy pelosi is. am i reading this wrong? you are spot on. look, the media when they were kept out of the room by adam schiff, where was the media they are saying we will not let you impeach in secret behind
