start debates on articles of impeachment despite objections from party leadership. we are back with our power pane panel. let me ask you first, there are a lot of democrats that originally did want to move forward with impeachment hearings. those democrats, some of which have started to back down on that. what do you believe the reason is for those democrats that may be necessarily don't want to go full force on this? could it be because it could cost them an election in 2018? >> absolutely. the american people have been clear they don't want to see this kind of political gamesmanship. perhaps their tune has changed because the russia investigation has turned up nothing. we've had 100,000 pages of documents reviewed, 250 hours of interviews, 11 months of investigation and it's proven to be little more than a conspiracy theory. you have democrats who are scratching their heads, there's nothing they can do to force the will of the american people. president trump is president and
