Filing the lawsuit today, the president s attorneys is insisting the subpoena for the president s financial records has no legitimate legislative purpose. Quote, it is the goal his goal is to expose plaintiffs private Financial Information for the sake of exposure in hopes that it will turn up something the democrats can use now and in the 2020 election. Theyre asking for financial records of all of the president s business entities, personal records, even of the trump family children including baron and tiffany trump. All his attorneys say that the suit was predicated on testimony that Michael Cohen gave that donald trump misstated his net worth when he was a private individual. The lawsuit also pointing out cohen is, quote, a felon who pleaded guilty to lying to congress. It goes on to say Democrat Party with its new found control of the u. S. House of representatives has declared all out political war against president donald j. Trump, subpoena are their weapon of choice. The president today also taking on all of the talk about possible impeachment in the wake of the Mueller Report tweeting this morning, quote, only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment. There were no crimes by me, in collusion, no instruction, so you cant impeach. It was a democrat who committed the crimes not your republican president. Tables finally turning on the wimp hunt. Democrats are split in taking on the impeachment over the idea of taking on impeachment. Many remembering what happened to republicans after they impeached president clinton 20 years ago. The president saying hes not worried about it one bit. Listen here. Are you worried that [ inaudible question ]. Nobody is worried. Reporter that wasnt what we were looking for. The president asked, are you worried about impeachment, mr. President . He said, no, not even a little bit. He was asked about the Mueller Report. That a lot of staffers refused to do what the president asked them to do. Back on impeachment, nancy pelosi sent a letter out to her democratic caucus. One line is that its very interesting to point out. It said it is also important to know that the facts regarding holding the president accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings. Nancy pelosi reminding her caucus that going down this road of impeachment is not the only way to find out the information. I think democrats know 20 years ago that the house voted to have articles of impeachment on president clinton, holding to have that by the senate. Same thing would likely happen with President Trump. Mr. Clinton went out with a very high rating and republicans did not fare well. I think democrats are looking to say, we have a good political thing to grab on between now and 2020. Going down the road to impeachment may be tough. Dana can they walk up to that line and not cross it . Well see. Chris stirewalt is a Fox News Contributor and my cohost on our pod cast. Take a listen to congressman and chairman cummings on the impeachment question. The fact is that i think we have to do things very carefully here. The american people, a lot of them, clearly still dont believe that President Trump is doing things to destroy our democracy and has done a lot of things morally. I think even if we did not win possibly, if there were not impeachment, i think history would smile for us standing up for the constitution. Dana thats one view, chris. I wanted to read one thing to you from the New York Times yesterday. Jennifer palmeri was part of the Hillary Clinton campaign. She said we enforce his teflonness by buying up to this. It is a selffulfilling prophecy. If you stop assuming what mueller is putting in front of them, of course voters wont think its important. Voters respond to leadership. What do you think will happen on the Conference Call today . Well, i dont know if those two world views are opposed or mutually exclusive. The reality is democrats are going to continue to hold hearings on all of the things. Everything is going to have a hearing. Everyone will testify. Mueller will testify. And there will be the president eventually is going to see his tax returns turned over to congress. All of these things will happen. They all can happen without impeachment. Impeachment carries its own problems, its own political baggage. You can have all of those benefits for democrats without embracing the downside. Dana josh k wrote one of the most reliable things in politics is the party thats divided is the one thats losing. On the issue of how to react, democrats are split on the direction going forward. Do you think nancy pelosi can help, if there is a split, correct that . Heres the deal. Democrats had been helped, democratics have been held by, waiting for mueller, waiting for mueller. Now that mueller is here and we have the report. Soon congress will get to see even more of the report. As they speak to radicals and those who say we have to impeach, we have to impeach, they dont have that same tool in their bag. For a long time nancy pelosi could say, we dont have the report. Now this is going to force them to make a decision. Dana i think the Congressional Democrats separate for the most part from the 2020 democratic candidates. I want to bring up a couple things. We did hear from the pittsburgh gazette telling us that joe biden, former Vice President , does plan to announce his 2020 campaign in charlottesville, virginia, on wednesday. Then he will hold a rally in pittsburgh in the afternoon and another one in philadelphia at the art museum there. Quick thoughts about that. And then im going to ask you about this new poll. Joe bidens going to prove to america an prove to democrats he can win pennsylvania, he can win though voters donald trump took away from voters in 2016. That will be the center piece of his agreement. Plus, he can get a primantis sandwich. Dana charlottesville, virginia, do you think Terry Mcauliffe is part of this . I would be surprised if he isnt. Dana i want to show you this last poll. This just came out. This has Bernie Sanders at 30 , joe biden 18 . Of course, he hasnt announced. Pete buttigieg up to 15 . You see Elizabeth Warren at 5 . I want to show you something else. This is that same poll from august of 2018 and look at that. Pete gettleman w buttigieg wasnt even on the radar. Whats happening there . Look, this is the same woman who over the weekend released an op ed piece on how shes a big game of thrones fan. This is the only 2020 Democratic Campaign who friday went right to impeachment. She went right there. The death throes of the Warren Campaign are hard to watch. Dana these are her people up there in new england. These are people in the boston media market. This is a must win place for her. 5 . Holy crow, 5 . Shes losing to the mayor of south bend, indiana, in New Hampshire . Thats a no go.
