Nation hangs in the balance, and that no one is above the law welcome not even the president. Jeremy, explain what this means. Yes, so this report, it is effectively laying the ground work for what is goes to be a busy week ahead for the Judiciary Committee. It gets into the historical nature of impeachment and makes the argument for why congress has the right and the duty to impeachment president. It is a update and they are going back to the reports. It doesnt say that they committed impeachable offenses. Chairman nadler said it makes clear that is where the committee is headed, nadler said the framers worth nightmare is what weir facing at this very moment, President Trump abused his power, betrayed our national security, and corrupted our elections for personal gain. Only one remedy for this conduct impeachment. Were going to hear from the Judiciary Committee on monday when they have a hearing to present the evidence against the president. Theyre preparing now for that very hearing. Theyre going to be here today on a saturday and on a sunday trying to make sure they get all of these details right. And theyre expecting a possible introduction and the committee could vote on those articles by the end of next week, setting the stage for a potential house vote to impeach the president by or before christmas. So i think this report is one more step that were going to get as democrats continue to march toward that impeachment of the president. And this is an impeachment law professor and cnn legal analyst, good to see you, ross. So what does this say to you . Why is this important that this be released to lay the ground work for impeachment . Well, you know im still going through the document, but i think fundamentally what the House Democrats are trying to do is show that this isnt just about politics, its not just about criticizing the president s conduct, but the historical frame work, a historical frame work of impeachment, and what they thought was most important, that is one of the things that struck me so far is that there is a discussion about the historical frame work and there is an emphasis on the framers concern about foreign interference. Their concern about bribery, and i think there will be a few people considering with that. There are other elements that i think will be much more controversial and budget to attack by republicans. Including sort of the discussion about standard of evidence, about the roll of criminality, in the impeachment process, and other elements of it. So lets go through what could be the sequence. You have the release of this report. There are mock hearings taking place this weekend, monday the hearing that will get under way will involve presentations and evidence from counsels to the house, house Judiciary Committee, and what would happen on monday . Yeah, i think what were expecting to happen on monday is the clock is running out. The democrats are running out of time to convince the American People that impeachment is justified. Monday is a big day for that. Monday is when the staff to the committees sort of lay out their best case for impeachment. I think in this sort of final effort to convince the American People. After that. How do they keep the publics attention at that time. For this to to be played out publicly, the use of graphic and sound bites. How do you animate what has been a lengthy process, 17 witnesses behind closed doors and even public systtestimonies. I think it is an exact issue, and something that you have been critical of and curious about from the beginning of the process. The process so far has not been aimed at convincing the undecided and certainly not convincing republicans. So it may be that on monday, although i doubt it, it may be that the staff and the committees are able to put together a presentation that is compelling. I have been surprised at the lack of use of videos welcome of graphics, of other tools to animate the story. It is impeachable conduct, and i think that case has to be made in a way that resonates with people and so far it doesnt seem like that has been the case. Im going to be very interested in how they work that out on monday. The mouse attorneys say they be participating. It is completely baseless, but what do you make of that legal strategy because attorneys were involved with nixon and clinton kbrp this approach for the Trump Administration . Yeah, so, you and i have been talking about this for a few weeks. Youll republican, this does not come as a surprise, i think to me and to many people. That the white house is not participating in this process. The process are different in clinton and nixon from the beginning of the processes, the president s lawyers were permitted to participate in the proceedings. Here in the white house, the whole process is bogus, it is totally unclear. You said we could participate, you said we had the right to cross examine witnesses, it is really at this point nothing left for us to do we would not be viewed instead an opportunity to change the narrative to best counter all of the evidence that has been presented even without the witnesses that say the white house wanted to hear from are they squandering what could be a great opportunity. From their point of view, they think theyre winning. No republicans are willing to support impeachment. They announced they could be voting for their impeachment. They are getting out through the media and the president s tweets, and i think from their perspective theyre not getting a fair shake and they wont. Then they go on to a potentially more fair and some might say favorable arena in the senate, and that is but i think from the white house perspective, theyre getting their word out just fine without having to do it in an unfriendly arena out of the house.

Okay, new today the Trump Administration says theyre hopeful that a prisoner swap could lead to better relationships with tehran. Wong spent three years in the tehran prison. President trump sweeted about the exchange earlier today saying taken during the Obama Administration despite a 150 billion gift returned during the Trump Administration. Thank you to a very fair negotiation. See we can make a deal together. Joins us right now is a diplomatic analyst john kirby. You worked at a state department, how could an exchange like this happen . This was negotiated through our protecting power since we dont have open diplomatic relations with iran the protecting power is switzerland. It looks like mr. Brian hook was the chief u. S. Negotiator to bring this about. My guess is he was working, the swiss were working with like wise, at the same level as hook on the iranian side to negotiate this release one for one. These things are done very quietly. Nobody talks about them until the actual transfer has happened for good reason, anything could happen at the last minute and they could throw it off, this is why we have a protective power and this is what the swiss has done for us as well. And in the end, i think this was a good move by the United States and iran and i hope it leads to better elections. They are not talking directly, but how is switzerland empowered to help cut a deal. They have agreed to accept that responsibility on their behalf. We have other nations that serve as protecting pours oversees and they are our protecting power and they are our liaison with the iran government since there is no official communications right now. I want to read a tweet now from the secretary of state mike pom may owe. Around the world back home to their loved ones. So talk to me about this kind of promise that the u. S. Is making that it sounds like under any circumstance it will happen, but it is the russian of a prisoner swap, right . And no exchange of moneys but what are the circumstances of an exchange of prisoners . So it was a prisoner swap. Dont think they want to admit that. They could be compared with the bad practices of the what they considered the bad deals of the Obama Administration. They have hit it, and they are focusing on the semantics there. The families with other citizens, and theyre hopeful, i think it is bittersweet. They have come out and said that, but i think they are also a little scared and concerned about whether or not this administration will continue press to get their family members back. We have seen a statement in a few minute thats have, a father and a son there and it is a little bitter for them. They dont believe there is Much Movement to get their loved ones out. The Trump Administration has paid a lot of attention to this issue, and i think they are probably working behind the scenes they are trying to make sure theyre hopes arent too high up. Thank you so much. Coming up, the trade war with china drags on. President trump promised farmers would be the big winners of this fight,farmers saying in one of the keys to trumps 2016 win.

All against big odds you can beat him. Im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. The u. S. La boar department fell lightly matching the 50 year low reached in septt. American farmers continue to take a huge hit from the trade war with china, what does that mean for 2020 had . We went to pennsylvania to find out. Is the dairy business profiting. Made more so by the trade war. Good idea or bad idea . A bad idea. Boyd, a republican. Is that a lot . That is the profit. Pennsylvania will be a key state in the 2020 election. It helped elect President Trump in 2016 who campaigned here on promises made to farmers like boyd. He is sort of back stabbing the main people that got him into officer in the midwest. All of those midwest states that helped to vote him in and also pennsylvania and he let us down. Will you vote for him again in 2020 . Unless they come up with a better alternative. The president still trying to close a phase 1 trade deal with china that could restart big buying offing a products and lifting prices if is a lifeline for farmers. There is talks a month ago theyre supposed to be opening back up, and i have not seen i have seen prices go down, not up. A democrat voted for obama and then flipped to trump, just like North Hampton county here in pennsylvania. Right now i would not vote for him. I dont know who im going to vote for. I dont see a good candidate. On either side . On either side. In my opinion. One farmers crop is harvested, but his beans sit unsold. The first time i have had beans in here. The corn, that is your paycheck right there. Every morning he checks crop prices. Down here is so i beans. Hoping to find a buyer for his beans. How long are you willing to be patient and wait out this trade war . Other than saying im not going to vote for trump, that would be one way to retaliate personally, but i dont see that happening at this point. Cnn, mount bethel, pennsylvania. President trump and his reelection allies are using the positive jobs numbers to down play the impeachment battle. Joining me now to discuss is alice stewart, ted cruzs communications director. A cnn political commentator. Alice, despite the strong numbers, the november report shows key swing states lost jobs in the first ten months of 2019. So should this be any cause for concern going into 2020 . Absolutely not. When we have a overall economy that is strong and were seeing jobs numbers like that, and also the wage growth which is strong, that will help everyone across the country and people are going to Pay Attention to that. And look, this president came into office promising to strengthen the economy and be strong with regard to job creation and keeping people in their jobs, and he is delivering on that, and it is no surprise that a Strong Economy, a rising tide lifts all boats and that will help people in these early states, and the key battleground states, and i think that Strong Economy will be instrumental to the president s reelection. The impeachment is taking a back seat because people are concerned about their own bank account and Checking Account with regards to what the democrats are doing with impeachment. Should they be pushing an economic message for the voters that feel that President Trump will and could be the best option for 2020 . Well, you know i think that the democrats will do that and are doing it. I think that the real problem here is that the economy is going strong, and you would think that trumps any president with this kind of economy would have an Approval Rating in the upper
