Do is focus on this. They could be doing and they are thdeclaring their sustain for te americancl voter. This lawless partisan impeachment, is the political suicide march the democrats. Have you seen my posts the last four weeks. [applause]. During the panel this week, wall street journal. Dan and columnist a kim. And bill mcgurn. Dan largely along party lines nancy pelosi said impeachment to work as to be bipartisan. I guess you achieve that in a way. And the only people who voted our three democrats voted against three and two voted against both. And jeff andrew from new jersey, he is switching parties. Is that the outcome the she expected. I think it is kind of where she thought it was going. But part of it that i find surprising is that the intensity of the democratic commitment of impeachment as noted all throughout the drunk the impeachment collated this. Think some of d these democrats believe there is some sort of constitutional crisis in their making this great think and defending the constitution whereas both the breakdown makes it clear that is broken along totally partisan and political live and that this is a political exercise. That is not reached or achieved the loophole of great prostitution exercise that impeachment is supposed to be. It is r become a political exercise i think that everyone in washington is beginning to the sea as such. Bill what you think that 20 of them now, are retiring in 2020. They have no stake in the not running for office. They have no stake in the future election. They can vote as they please. Yet they all voted against it. Bill i think this was nancy pelosi news great achievement. Mitzvah, cut into it, she had the political party. Paul it started off and illegitimately. They changed the rules to stack the deck. So i think a lot of people dont necessarily like donald trump, holly dont like the democrats more for doing this. That is all of the warnings missus posey and amy jerry had said p months ago about throwing the country into impeachment when its not bipartisan. You can harden the publican republican result. And i think the senate the Senate Mcconnell news getting however they respond, i think that it is important to respond in a way that conveys the legitimacy of the way the date democrats had proceeded on this. Paul on that. Can you get the speaker now staying many will wait to turn over the articles of impeachment to the senate. When rush rush rush to get this done before christmas. No going to wait to see how the senate is going to set the rules of the trial echoing Chuck Schumer the minority leader news demands to call more witnesses. What is her rationale here. It strikes me that what it looks like is the really serious. Kim heres what theyre trying to do, theyre trying to attempt to suggest that the Senate Majority leaders met mcconnell has brought taking this seriously. The senate has brought doing his job. Therefore you have schumer news call for witnesses and you have her refusing to turn over the articles until there is what she says, a fair trial. I think the problem is though thathe Mitch Mcconnell to kick s out of the park. She pointed out that the recent no one news heard from those witnesses because the house gave up on that. And was sloppy in his own impeachment inquiry. Also that nancy pelosi has no right to dictate to the senate in any of this. So is the very weak position. I think it hurts her politically. For her to not send this over. Paul one of the purposes of what they are doing here was supposed to be to fressure about for Vulnerable Senate republicans. Collins garner mansion, no mention but to listen make sally. I think because of the way things have become so politicized, actually turning into something of a fiasco, pelosi has taken those for off of the hook. I think there both against to equip President Trump. Its going to be a pretty easy one and be able to tell their constituents that this think was kind of a mess. And they will be right. As well as making it easier for democratic, mansion and doug jones, to vote also, to acquit the President Trump. Paul lemanski about a big pitcher question. Business impeachment and the way handled, the abuse and the vagueness of the abuse of power charge. Your obstruction of congress because you decided to go forward. To resist fizzing subpoenas. Disclaiming impeachment for any president , more likely. Sadly i think it does. Not just more likely, as we see already, people are taking this impeachment is seriously as is happened before when president clinton. Where i go, he said on thursday night nobody asked about impeachment. Hello, stan said, with the senate. The republicans, they are already running ads in the district the trump districts they t think are vulnerable democratic w on this. It tells you something. The democrats i wouldbe very surprised if they run impeachment. Theyre going to try to hit other issues. The speaker news press conference, it was stop asking me about impeachment. Ask me about anything else. [laughter]. Soon lets get past this. I can tell you that the press. The democratic legal case against President Trump and how the process is likely to play out when or if impeachment makes his way to the senate. Senate. I dont even have a crime, this is the first impeachment where t this is the first impeachment. Tu[background sounds] con Liberty Mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas. Only pay for what you need.

Its a situp, banana bend at the waist im tryin keep it up. Youll get there. Whoahoahoa 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. Ensure max protein. As it general matter, i think we have to worry about criminalizing they process. The putting in hurdle of high crimes and treason, bribery and other high crimes. The articles of impeachment, did not allege a violation of the law. Paul was attorney general. Arguing that the articles of impeachment passed by the house this week, do not allege any violations of law. And trivializes the impeachment process for partisan purposes. He served as Deputy Attorney general on the bar. Welcome george. Nice to see you b again. First lets talk about and before we get to impeachment. The senate trial. Is nancy pelosi and the speakers threatening not to turn over the articles of impeachment and the senate. Until she likes how they conduct the trial of the center. This represses to that. Know. It is absorbed. Is fundamental to the constitution paul, and he tells of the Congress Sets his own grrules, that the senate has its rules. For impeachment and decides its own procedures. The idea that they would have to negotiate with the house as to what that process looks like, is silly. And you shows again, how unabashedly political and politically motivated the whole impeachment businesses. Its very. Paul so the senate and ms. Mcconnell the majority, be justified with us if those articles never come over. Sorry, were not going to hold a trial because you are not sending anything over. Yes. I think it would. There may be different ways to approach this but i think the senate could easily take the position from prosecution. Paul really, what about just staying ifssss youll. To the managers, e want to honor the constitution and do better than he did so will. Your managers for you. Focus of many to argue the case on your behalf. And elsie away on the constitutional provisions or the existing senate rules for that to fly. But the Senate Perhaps could had met its rules and do Something Like that but id be surprised if they did. I think that is what is happened here is that ms. Pelosi and the leadership the democratically the leadership the house, has demonstrated clearly that this was all about affecting the 2020 election. And has nothing to do with ukraine or 2016 or 2017, or 2018 or 2019. It is about 2020. On again to the fisa quote because we do areis deputy ag of course that gives youar some responsibility over the fbi. As you look at the borowitz report, is the behavior that it documents behind the fbi and its submissions to the quote. Is that it at all your view. No. Specifically no. Paul happen. Thiss i guess is what im staying, you have a wiretap essentially. You have proof of the quote, submitted by the fbi of an official is advising a preside president. District me is very serious. In the normal course of affairs, that kind of decision, with his political implications, have been alerted at the deputy ag for deep levels. One would certainly think so. And i think of the strongest points and recommendations that Michael Borowitz makes in that report, is that there needs to be some kind of change to make sure the notification to theha responsible Political Leadership of the Justice Department would occur in certain sales like this in the future but theres a lot more that needs to be done to fix this and judge collier news rebuke, of the fbi, that came in what we have heard so far from director ray has frankly been better. It was extraordinary that he issued that rebuke in public. I guess one of the concerns that i have is what took them so long. What took the course along. They had information in the real reason to doubt what was submitted to them long ago, because of submissions from the House Intelligence Committee. Letters will sent to the fisa quote. Is this a little bit is it too late here. On the judges bear some responsibility here. I think that is a legitimate question. Not so sure that the way things are set up, that it wouldbe a good idea for the quote directly to respond to every sort of issue that Congress Might raise because in part it is a larger problem may be for us to discuss another day. But having article three judges performed what is really an article to p function is to authorize these wiretaps and where does congressional oversight play intoze that. They have oversight of the judges, and the quote function or just the executive function. It is a mass and i think one of the things that i personally hope that will come out of this is the complete reexamination of the legal regime that should be used to pursue these necessary and intrusive investigative techniques. See what kind of accountability do you think is here. As i look at this, the whole history of the fisa process was set up in the wake of the abuses on j j edgar uber. They set that up to sort of so and we can never happen again. Now in the case will clearly some people, evidence even that there was a an, to distort presentations to the t quote. And you can get away with this. That went out consequences of the fbi. How are we setting ourselves up for this happening again. Are we. Yes very much so. And i really trust that attorney ttgeneral bar knows the fbi inse out. I trust that he is going to make sure that this think sticks. Okay, negative and includes john durham newshi brawl as the u. S. Attorney looking at this. Ai think what john doran is looking at is a much wider question just problems that the fbi in the fisa application process. Thank you really appreciate it.

Rosemary collier ordering the agency to see how it intends to correct their errors. Is laid out in the Justice Department to report on the investigation into the trunk president ial campaign. Inspector general Michael Horowitz, said this week that the fbi made serious and repeated mistakes and handling of applications to the former carter page. Something former fbi james call me acknowledge the fact that Chris Wallace last sunday. Is right, i was wrong. I was overconfident in the procedures that the fbi injustice had built over 20 years. I thought they were robust enough. Its incredibly hard to get a fisa. I was overconfident in those because he is right, there is real sloppiness. Rio back with dan. Andd him and bill. Kim it was a lot more than sloppy. Was not. Kim much much more and also by the way, its not really hard to get a fisa. We can go for a long time and this whole think, through jim corum coming, is kind of legally words there. Paul want to ask you know about uconn this make because you reported that actually the fisa quote, had known for a long time before the borowitz report came out. That it probably had received false information from the fbi. In its applications to survey carter page. Explain what happened. Kim this is really important. We get hold of two letters that the former House Intelligence Committee had sent to the quote and one in february of 2018 and then one in c june of 2018. Pointing out that many of the things that Michael Horowitz has now said. That was 18 months earlier, two years earlier and we also got hold of the responders from the quote which will essentially just to blow all of this up and to this blow the committee off an estate not even really respond to any of this so they had direct evidence of problems in the page application and this isnt really a separation of powers issue or its response to the house committee, the question is that they had the information and they did nothing. Paul is really interesting because of course, is sick and significant, congressional Intelligence Committee does b have oversight responsibility over the intelligence process fisa is really clearly, part of that process. Sunnis in these letters the quote just as nevermind, that is a real serious issue in my mind of separation of powers. In the delusion of accountability on the executive branch because we you get is the quote says, will not come to me talk to the Justice Department and they said talk to the course. Kim right, thats what makes this rebuke from rosemary collier, somewhat disingenuous is it too. To see we are so surprised to see and find out there is problems in this process. They know there will problems in this process and it was in the spotlight on the brawl quote itself played in this. In this mess. Paul i agree and one of the things that he raises the time and fines that was being proposed, and i think some of the judgment of professor silverman was that if judges minute step like this, you cant really call the judges. They are one of the unaccountable parts. Also in this case, and the two things that stay on out. How many people gone to jail. If Martha Stewart for lying to the fbi. The fbing paul from here to des moines. And in the fbi, misrepresents itself to a quote, and the think is just telus event boys, how you are not going to do it again. That seems very disproportionate. To gives. , in addition to the intelligence community, he came to judge collier before the carter page four. And i think he said weve got a big problem with this. With a spying and so forth. And especially information for getting into independent contractors. She issued a scathing, like a hundred page report so she knew there will president s in this a and she had precedence and she has to have an innocent humidity telling them and now is just see, tell me how you are not going to do it again. No businesses filed this kind of misinformation. Paul one ofet the point when asking about, Robert Muller who its been two years investigating his whole business in the reston russian collision story. The moral of this. Hate now theyre either he didnt look at it, and he didnt certainly report on, or he did and said well, i dont want to tell anybody about it. How can he do that. Thats the question will probably remain unanswered question. Carter page was a paris fuel figure in the trunk campaign and yet he and the vita investigation is the link into the socalled russian collision narrative. They built them out of him. Should include them when this came out in late 2016 that the original application, the russian collision narrative itself was very weak. In the country was exposed to it for two long years. And at some. , robert moore had to see it was going nowhere. Paul just over six weeks ago, when the first cast i
