The president. Nancy pelosi is holding a
Conference Call
with her caucus, charged with determining their next move. This is the first time
House Democrats
have gathered together since the redacted
Mueller Report
was released last week. Right now it is a party divided. A number of
House Democrats
and one hopeful call for impeachment proceedings to begin immediately. Others want to hear from witnesses like attorney general barr and
Robert Mueller
himself before going further. Jerry nadler, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee
which would conduct any impeachment proceeding told chuck yesterday he is not ruling out impeachment. Meanwhile,
Speaker Pelosi
is pumping the brakes. Sent a letter to her caucus before tonights call, cautioning against impeachment. It is a risky move either way for democrats when you look at the politics of it. Go down the impeachment road with little to no chance of actually removing the president , remember, you need a super majority in the senate and may end up regretting it. Choosing not to go down the impeachment road, you may regret that too. Here is
President Trump
today. Are you worried about impeachment, mr. President . Ultimately of course impeachment is a political question. It is up to congress, not to the courts, to decide what does and doesnt constitute a high crime. Speaker pelosi talking to her caucus now, we may be about to find out which path the democrats are going to take. With democrats formulating the post mueller plan, theres no one better to have with me than nbc news capitol
Hill Reporter
casey hunt and
Brett Stevens
who advocated for impeaching trump and is now against it. Zerlina maxwell is here, she changed her view on impeachment, shes now for it. In washington, msnbc contributor, editor and chief of the law fair blog, ben whitis. No mystery. Nancy pelosi is not enthusiastic to go down the impeachment road. Week before the report came out are, she said he is not worth it. What would it take, anything that could happen that would move her on that . If the majority of the
Democratic Caucus
wants to go this route, i could see her adjusting. I think she would work hard to convince them otherwise, nancy pelosi is nothing if not an incredible politician for the caucus she leads. If that pressure builds, you could see that change. But theres also incredible amount of trust in her from the caucus, and i think there are going to be a lot of people listen to go her if shes arguing forcefully behind the scenes against impeachment. Theres a couple of friends that laid it out clearly. On one hand, political considerations, moderates from swing districts risk dividing districts, losing seats. Liberals getting pressure from the left. One set of calculations. The other is moral and ethical. Weve now seen what the president it in office. Democrats have to decide are they going to allow that conduct to be normalized. One way of looking at the argument. The other way of looking at it, this would be a partisan process. Republicans arent going to get on board, do they want to drag the country through something more divisive. On the last point, 20 years ago, 21 years ago to be exact, 1998, bill clinton, republicans in congress were moving to impeach clinton. Jerry nadler warned against that impeachment trial. He said the effect of impeachment is overturn popular will of the voters, we must not remove a president from office to defend our system of government or constitutional liberties against a dire threat and must not do so without overwhelming consensus of the
American People
. He said it couldnt be one party pushing for it, one party pushing against it, or the consequences, paraphrasing, would be catastrophic for political institutions. Democrats go forward, thats the keen. I make a distinction between the
American People
and elected republicans. Those are two different things. If the
American People
are reading the
Mueller Report
, they can go and read it for themselves are reading that and are troubled by the behavior described to be clear is very troubling, it is not as if the
Mueller Report
was a dud. This is something that has a lot in it that implicates the president in actual crimes. If you are a citizen and voter who feels as if the 2016 election had some manipulation by a
Foreign Government
and the
Trump Campaign
took that help and went on to win, and that puts a question around legitimacy of the election, make that known not just to democrats on the hill but republicans. My question is it is worth making your voice heard. We have seen polling on it to date. New one last hour says the immediate aftermath of the
Mueller Report
, still saying 37 in favor, 41 oppose. If that doesnt budge, does nod lett nadlers point hold . I think the process can allow for a movement in public opinion. Following the watergate model, they didnt put articles of impeachment forward and then have everybody vote, they had open, televised hearings. If you put hearings in the appropriate committee, say the
Judiciary Committee
, and say were going to investigate x, y, z from the
Mueller Report
, because the
American People
have to have it laid out in detail, not everybody has time to read 448 pages, but they must be informed and educated on contents of the
Mueller Report
. And that can be through hearings. That absolutely can shift public opinion. Three days after the report is released, the fact it is 37 is just a place holder. Now on zerlinas point, shes saying start the proceedings, see how the country reacts to an investigation. Thinking back to hearings, not impeachment proceedings, but hearings, open, televised hearings. The case made in 1998, henry hyde who chaired the
Judiciary Committee
then, republicans in congress was handed the starr report. Henry hyde said we have been handed this, it requires further investigation. He said we should launch an impeachment probe, not necessarily impeachment proceedings but probe, hearings of the
Judiciary Committee
. He said the central question congress is faced with with that report, shall we look forward or shall we look away. Does that question apply here . Very quickly, i think the impeachable act is what
President Trump
conspired to do with
Michael Cohen
on the eve of the 2016 election with regard to violations of
Campaign Finance
laws, different subject than the one were talking about with the
Mueller Report
. When it comes to the
Mueller Report
, i dont think where i disagree with zerlina, i dont think youll find a process that will change anyones mind. For that, look no further than the way the country reacted down the line with the release of the
Mueller Report
, which was supposed to form some kind of consensus about what exactly happened and what it is that we should do. I remember i got my start, i started at the the wall street journal in 1998. I remember the impeachment process of bill clinton back then. Very, very well. No one came out. There was no moving of the
American People
. And the only beneficiary of the process in the end politically speaking was the incumbent president , was the man who was in fact impeached. What i fear is what were moving toward is a
Kamikaze Mission
by democrats that are so intent that theyll burn up all oxygen and
Political Capital
pursuing something that is not going to result in the conclusion they desire, which is removal of a president they think is unfit. I dont think theres any question the president wouldnt be removed, the senate wouldnt do it. Thats another huge factor for democrats that are remembering the lessons of the 90s, saying maybe we dont want to go there. You laid out on twitter some important differences between the two things, but i dont know that most members of congress understand it on the nuanced level that you do. Quickly to kasies point, theres something called a censure. They could vote to censure the president for behavior mitt romney calls outrageous, despicable, troubling. That provides you an ability to rebuke the president without going through the process. 20 years ago, that was the alternative the democrats proposed. The group move on. Org started with that. Censure and move on. Move on is calling for impeachment, not censure. I want to get to breaking news. A statement just coming in. Jerry nadler, chairman of the house
Judiciary Committee
issues a subpoena for former white
House Counsel
don mcgahn. The
Judiciary Committee
issuing the subpoena, saying the special counsel report even in redacted form outlines substantial evidence that
President Trump
engaged in obstruction and other abuses, now falls to congress scope of misconduct and what steps to take in exercise of oversite and accountability. Ben, your reaction to the subpoena of don mcgahn, what this could potentially lead to . I think the first interesting question is whether don mcgahn will agree to answer questions about his interactions with the president. Upped normal circumstances, that would be pretty core executive privilege material with respect to the president s conversations with his lawyer before congress. Now, here you have this weird situation where the lawyer has spent 30 hours with bob mueller, and the
Judiciary Committee
and
American People
are sitting on results of that investigation in the form of this report, so we know a great deal about these interactions, but it doesnt answer the question to me whether mcgahn and the white house will assert executive privilege over that with respect to live testimony before congress, so i think mcgahns testimony is potentially a very, very big deal, but i do have a head scratcher as an and the seed end matter whether well see it happen at all. For what it is worth, i worked with don mcgahn many years, a fixture in washington way before donald trump was president , and one thing i think we learned from the
Mueller Report
and from his actions that were taken behind the scenes is that he was really one of the people that was the most uncomfortable and outspoken against what the president was doing, and who is incredibly kind of careful about how he conducts himself, and frankly hes got a career past donald trump to worry about in a washington hes trying to go back to. My sense of it, you know, well obviously see, but a prolonged fight from don mcgahn of the subpoena doesnt seem to work in his best interest in my view. I suspect thats correct, and from mcgahns point of view the path back probably includes being a star witness at one of these hearings, but, you know, theres this question that the white house is im sure thinking the current white
House Counsel
s office is thinking of this as we speak, i suspect, which is what leverage do they have and what kind of arguments do they have that while it is one thing to speak to an executive branch prosecutor, it is quite another to speak about your conversations with the president to a congressional committee, so i just think theres an interesting question there that i will be interested to see how it plays out. Again, zerlina, the news of the hour, right now,
House Democrats
on the
Conference Call
talking about what to do. We mentioned at the top the idea that impeachment is political, not left to the court. This term high crimes, it is sort of up to congress to define and say when it applies and when it doesnt. Given that it is in some ways a political process here for democrats as it plays out, if there are further developments with this, to what extent should those guide thecm. Is this going to hurt us in 2020 or help us. How much should that be part of it . I think the democrats need to listen to the base. The base is telling them we want you to do this. They didnt win the house of representatives because the democratic wanted democrats to waffle on some of these more important questions. They won because moderates, suburban democrats theres the tension. I think there is a tension, but i think that there are a lot of progressives that also want it. What im saying is while you can the majority is what, how many seats, most of those are moderates from suburban districts. But part of the calculus was oversight of the president. Not saying every one of them ran running on impeachment like tlaib. I think oversight, conducting oversight and impeachment are different things. Those are on a spectrum. Democrats need to listen to moderates that voted for obama twice, then voted for trump and are asking how exactly does this impeachment deal help my brotherinlaw get a job. How is this going to actually advance my life . Why are democrats talking about something that happened two, three, four years ago, not whats going to happen next year and the year after. Theres limited oxygen. The clock is ticking toward the 2020 election, and it is not going to be about what donald trump did in 2016, it is about what the next president will do for them. I am curious, hopefully well get reporting maybe talk to somebody on the call now, but thats one of my questions. Talking about 20 years ago with bill clinton, the reason that took off in congress and happened, the
Republican Base
wanted that in 1998, really it was republican leaderships hand that was forced by its base. And bush became president of the
United States
. We will get to that later. Also the matter of a debacle in the 98 midterms, then assume it will backfire to the original about, normalizing corrupt behavior, thats a persuasive argument of all political sides. One of the segments this hour, were going to look deep at the lessons or lack thereof of the clinton impeachment. Heres the tease. It is complicated. Thank you for joining us. We have more on breaking news. Democrats are mulling the next step now that the
Mueller Report
is in their hands. Well talk to a democrat on that call now as soon as he hangs up the phone, he is dialing in to talk to us. Russian interference in the 2016 election, some call it meddling, some call it a scandal, some call it both. Is the white house calling it normal . T both is the white house calling it normal life isnt a straight lin. Things happen. And sometimes you can find yourself heading in a new direction. But at fidelity, we help you prepare for the unexpected with
Retirement Planning
and advice for what you need today and tomorrow. Because when youre with fidelity, a partner who makes sure every step is clear, theres nothing to stop you from moving forward. But draper saw a way yoto fight disease. Ellite. So theyre using

Reliable Service
possible. My name is tanya, i work in the
Network Operations
center for comcast. We are working to make things simple, easy and awesome. Do you think this is impeachable . Yeah, i do. I do think that if proven, if proven, which hasnt been proven yet, some of this, if proven, some of this would be impeachable, yes, obstruction of justice if proven would be impeachable. Welcome back. That was house
Judiciary Committee
jerry nadler on meet the press yesterday with chuck todd saying obstruction of justice if proven would be impeachable. Right now,
House Democrats
are on a
Conference Call
, discussing the next steps in the aftermath of the
Mueller Report
release, and whether that would including impeachment. We learned the house judiciary chairman issued a subpoena to former white
House Counsel
, don mcgahn. Joining me, someone that would have to vote to convict or acquit if they impeach the president , senator ben carden. You have been through one of these before back when you were in the house 20 or so years ago when bill clinton was impeached and the senate acquitted him then. We played that clip from jerry nadler, saying he sees potential impeachable conduct. Do you . One thing is clear to me, that the
Mueller Report
gives us sufficient reason to conducts a very thorough investigation, first in the house of representatives on impeachment, but also house and senate on action that russia took against us to protect us from future attacks. Both cases, it is in couple bent for congress to follow up. The chairman of the

Mueller Report<\/a> gives us sufficient reason to conducts a very thorough investigation, first in the house of representatives on impeachment, but also house and senate on action that russia took against us to protect us from future attacks. Both cases, it is in couple bent for congress to follow up. The chairman of the
Judiciary Committee<\/a> is doing the right thing, getting all of the information before his committee, having mr. Mueller testify before congress. He wants to get all of the material. He wants to see if we can establish the case for obstruction of justice. If theres evidence for obstruction of justice, theres consideration how to proceed and hold the president accountable. I want to put up something that ezra klein wrote about sort of a skeptical argument about impeachment. He said, he asked is the case for impeachment that trump wanted to fire attorney general
Jeff Sessions<\/a> but didnt, they wanted to fire mueller but didnt, that he fired james comey, that he asked the staff to do illegal things, then accepted their judgment when they refused, that being a liar, which is obvious about trump since long before the
American People<\/a> elected him is a high crime and misdemeanor. Getting out some questions that perhaps kemt mueller and the report from issuing some clearer statement on criminality, some clearer statement on obstruction of justice, when you get into the area of intent, when you get into whether the president wanted this to happen but didnt follow through, can you build an impeachment argument when you have questions like that . Thats one of the questions we want to ask mr. Mueller. He seemed to be guided by principles of the justice department, he didnt go down the path whether there was adequate information for indictment. It would be interesting to hear from mr. Mueller the strength of the information. Obstruction of justice does not require that you succeed in obstruction of justice. It is a crime in and of itself. I do think thats an issue that we need to hear mr. Mueller directly and look at the
Source Information<\/a> to make our own determination. Thats the requirement of the congress of the
United States<\/a>. What about td politihe polit it, jerry nadler, one of the arguments against i am impeaching bill clinton 20 years ago, he said you cannot have an impeachment driven by one party, opposed by the other, and doesnt have broad support amongst
American People<\/a>. If you look at polling and look at the partisan reaction to that, you would have one party driving impeachment and no broad consensus. Does that weigh on you . Absolutely. Im hopeful the process will bring about more bipartisan conclusions than one party moving forward, another party saying no. It is very important that the process be conducted in a nonpartisan manner. This is an extremely important responsibility of the congress of the
United States<\/a>. And i would hope republicans and democrats would recognize the historic importance of this. The
Mueller Investigation<\/a> raises serious questions how america is prepared to deal with attacks from russia and the conduct of the president. It is incumbent on congress to take that report, give it proper oversight, do it in a way thats befitting the constitution of the
United States<\/a>. You want more in terms of investigation now, but the argument is made that launching a formal impeachment inquiry in the house as was done in 1998 when the house received the starr report, i think it was two weeks after they got the report they voted to open up and launch impeachment inquiry, that that would be part of the factfinding process. Do you see value in that . I would hope that in the house there would be conversations between the republicans and the democrats as to how is the best way to proceed with the
Mueller Report<\/a> in getting to the facts, that theres more consensus as to what the facts are in this case. Maybe im just
Wishful Thinking<\/a> on that, but i can tell you this country wants this issue handled in a professional manner by congress. Theyre very serious issues raised by the
Mueller Report<\/a>, and it is critically
Important Congress<\/a> carry out its responsibilities. Clearly the responsibilities with the
Democratic Party<\/a> as the party in power in the house, i recognize that. But the
Minority Party<\/a> in the house, republicans have a responsibility to make sure that in history this matter was handled the way the framers of the constitution intended. Senator ben cardin, democrat from maryland, thank you for the time. Thank you. Coming up, we have had a president ial impeachment in the not so distant past. What was the political fallout then for the party that pushed it and is there a lesson for democrats now, going to the big board after this. O the big board after this up. Up. Down. Down. Ah ah thats one. Up. Thats two. Down. Down. Get down, get down. Bleech aww awww its the easiest because its the cheesiest. Kraft for the win win. Oh oh oh ozempic\u00ae announcer people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of onceweekly ozempic\u00ae. In a study with ozempic\u00ae, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. Oh under seven . And you may lose weight. In the same oneyear study, adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. Oh up to 12 pounds . A twoyear study showed that ozempic\u00ae does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack, stroke, or death. Oh no increased risk . Oh, oh, oh, ozempic\u00ae ozempic\u00ae should not be the first medicine for treating diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not share needles or pens. Dont reuse needles. Do not take ozempic\u00ae if you have a personal or
Family History<\/a> of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to ozempic\u00ae.

And reaches everywhere. This is beyond wifi. This is xfi. Simple, easy, awesome. Welcome back. Impeach or dont impeach. The big
Sticking Point<\/a> for plenty of democrats are the political ramifications of impeachment, and there are a lot of lessons perhaps that could be learned from the last time there was impeachment. Democrats talking about whether to impeach donald trump. Of course two decades ago we had another president that was impeached and caused interesting political consequences. So what could democrats today learn from what happened to republicans two decades ago when they impeached bill clinton but didnt succeed removing him from office. He was acquitted by the senate. Wheres public opinion. You can see the recent readout, theres opposition to trump being i mpeached. 59 oppose, 36 in favor. Heres a question. Will the
Mueller Report<\/a> and fallout bring support for impeachment back up, especially among democrats. It was 3659. With bill clinton, 24, 71. Fall of 1998. October when the
Republican House<\/a> voted to open impeachment inquiry. They voted to do it in the face of poll numbers like this. What happened, a month later in the midterms, republicans lost seats. At that point it was an unprecedented result. The party not in the white house is always supposed to gain seats in the midterm, republicans lost. It was so traumatic for them, days later
Newt Gingrich<\/a> was ousted as house speaker. Thats one of the lessons from 98. Heres the thing, of course, after that election republicans went through, formally impeached clinton, he got acquitted by the senate, and republicans for all of that political damage, george w. Bush got elected. You can go through impeachment, even if the public doesnt like it in the moment and end up winning the next president ial election. Couple things to keep in mind. It was 21 months between acquit alf bill clinton in february of 99 and the election. Clinton himself couldnt run in 2000, it was left to al gore. He put bill clinton on the sidelines. Trumps job
Approval Rating<\/a> is lower than bill clintons was back then. There are all sorts of variables unique to the 2000 election. Bottom line is this. Youre going to hear people say dont impeach trump because of lessons of 2000, youll hear people say do impeach him because of lessons of 2000. When you look at this example, we dont have many examples to go by, it is probably a unique set of circumstances then and unique set of circumstances right now. You know what, you wouldnt know until it actually happened, if it does happen. Truth is, you cant read too much in terms of absolute lessons from 2000. Youll be hearing a lot about it. Already are. Ahead. Whatever you make of the particulars of the
Mueller Report<\/a>, it is undeniable. The question is, is this the new normal . E question is, is this tw normal every day, visionaries are creating the future. So, every day, we put our latest technology and unrivaled network to work. The

More beverage choices, smaller portions, less sugar. Balanceus. Org even if it comes from a questionable source, im going to use that information. And there was nothing to suggest this was manufactured evidence. So it is okay for political campaigns to work with materials stolen by foreign adversaries . Depends on the stolen material. Welcome back. That was
Rudy Giuliani<\/a>,
President Trump<\/a>s personal attorney on meet the press saying materials stolen by a foreign adversary shouldnt necessarily be off limits to an american political campaign. He said more. Theres nothing wrong with taking information from russians. Depends where it came from. You would have accepted information from russians against a candidate if you were running . I probably wouldnt. I wasnt asked. I would have advised out of excess of caution, dont do it. But youre saying there was nothing wrong with doing that. Theres no crime. Not talking about crime. Were going to get into morality . Yeah. Thats not what prosecutors look at, morality. With me, two experts that say guilliani was rewriting the rules. Rick has en, and frank fashiglu. Rick, you gave an interview to the washington post, said guilliani is offering a green light for campaigns to accept in kind contributions from
Foreign Government<\/a>. Elaborate. What do you mean there . Sure. Mueller said there were a number of reasons he didnt go after donald trump jr. For the june 2016 trump tower meeting. One of the reasons offered was maybe theres a
First Amendment<\/a> right to have campaigns receive information, valuable information,
Opposition Research<\/a> from
Foreign Government<\/a>s. That might be something that were going to have to live with. And thats pretty startling. What i suggested after i read the
Mueller Report<\/a> is campaigns are going to start saying this is okay. You already see guilliani doing that, giving the green light to say if foreign companies,
Foreign Government<\/a>s, foreign entities will start giving us valuable information, were going to take it and were going to use it. Frankly, this is an area that hasnt come up in this way in the past before, so where is the law on this question right now, strictly in terms of the law when it comes to this sort of thing. What can and cant a campaign do . This is where i believe that the criminal only standards that were applied by mueller and by attorney general barr are not serving us well. You remember that the special counsel inquiry started as a
Counter Intelligence<\/a> investigation. Thats not putting people in handcuffs. Thats whether people are compromised by a foreign power. It is clear that there were incredible amounts of contact between
Kremlin Associated<\/a> people and people in the
Trump Campaign<\/a>. If the new standard in our country is if it aint criminal, it is fine to do, then were missing the point of what a
Counter Intelligence<\/a>
National Security<\/a> threat looks like. And americans and
Congress Need<\/a> to hear people like
Rudy Giuliani<\/a> say thats the new standard, were fine if it is not indictable. That should factor into
Congress Decision<\/a> what to do next. Is this acceptable behavior from an american president or is it not. I guess my question is going forward, whether it is the 2020 election, 2024, any point in the future, trying to say if congress, if the political system wanted to say this is something that is not acceptable going forward, is the solution to pass laws, is the solution that you find ways to have more transparency and theres a penalty paid in the court of public opinion, what would the solution and remedy look like . I think what should happen rick, go ahead first, then frank. I think what needs to happen is that
Congress Need<\/a>s to tighten up laws, make it clear that receiving
Opposition Research<\/a> from foreign entities counts as something thats illegal under the federal campaign laws. I also think they need to tighten up laws related to all of the social media interference from russia. They need to make it clear ads intended to influence the election that are coming from a foreign source are illegal. And thats something today if theyre being run on the internet, lots of russian ads that he talked about are not illegal. Frank, how do you look at it in terms of remedy . I would like to see longer
Term Congress<\/a> say look, were going to pass regulations on election laws that say foreign contacts during a campaign need to be reported, almost like a foreign agents registration act. You have foreign contacts, we need to be transparent and the fbi needs to know. The fbi at a high level briefed this candidate and his team and said heres what a solicitation looks like. Russians are coming after you. Let us know. Heres the business card, give us a call. It never, ever happened. So the rules could be written, but theyre not written for people that try to circumvent them. Secondly, you can always launch sanctions against countries trying to mess with our election, but this president is resistant to
Congress Efforts<\/a> to address what happened with russia with additional sanctions. One way to do that is signal to foreign powers were going to come at this president , were going to impeach or censor him, and it is a foreign power, say this is unacceptable. Cease and desist. Reporters talk about when it comes to this topic, they talk about the steele dossier. There was reporting that was funded by the clinton campaign, by the dnc, some more sensational claims i think didnt hold up against the
Mueller Report<\/a>. This was something compiled by a foreigner
British Intelligence<\/a> official using russian sources, this times article over the weekend said not impossible. Maybe there were elements of russian disinformation. Is that something that should be addressed going forward, that kind of document . You have to remember the steele dossier was something paid for. Theres no prohibition paying fair market value to a foreign entity to get services. For example, if a campaign wants to have bumper stickers printed overseas, as long as they pay fair market value, thats fine. The problem what happened with the trump tower meeting was that information, dirt on
Hillary Clinton<\/a> was offered for free. Thats an in kind contribution to the campaign. I think there are different kinds of situations and while they might look on the surface to be similar, one involves a transaction, the other involves a gift. Thank you both for being with us. Ahead, breaking news. We have been talking about it all hour. The
Conference Call<\/a> of democratic members of congress about what to do now that they have the
Mueller Report<\/a>. Were going to talk to somebody whos been on that call, hearing it all after this break. Break. Did you eat all of your treats . Help i need somebody help not just anybody help you know i need someone but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Welcome back. Joining us from washington, a congressman from maryland, democrat jamie raskin, he was just on the
Conference Call<\/a>. Thank you for joining us. The call, is the call ongoing now or is it over . I can neither confirm or deny existence of the call. It is a private matter. But im happy to talk about public issues that are on everybodys minds. I got to ask you, though, democrats are trying to figure out what to do. We know the call is going on. What is your sense, is there a consensus . Are you seeing, hearing, picking up on a consensus among fellow democrats whether i mpeachment s a course to take. Setting aside the call, let me tell you where i think the caucus and congress is right now. We have sworn a solemn constitutional oath to uphold the constitution, to defend public interest. Were going to do that. Part of that of course is the legislative work we do every day, we passed the violence against women act reauthorization, passed hr 1 to reform and defend our elections against foreign and domestic threats to peoples participation. We are working on reducing
Prescription Drug<\/a> prices. I understand that. Heres the bottom line. We asked about whether democrats now that they have a majority in the house are going to pursue impeachment against the president. Yes, i do. Wie have seen the leadership of your party and caucus, starting with nancy pelosi, seem to have a negative attitude towards pursuing this. This report hit last week. We started to get signals from leaders, including president ial candidates, that now is the time to move on impeachment. Theres a call going on among your colleagues. I am asking, whats the temperature among your colleagues . Is it moving toward impeachment or not . So im getting there, be patient with me. Part of the constitutional duty thats been assigned to us in our committees is oversight over whats taking place in the administration, and on the
Judiciary Committee<\/a> to look specifically at potential high crimes and misdemeanors and offenses against the state. I think chairman nadler laid out a very sober and aggressive plan for getting to the bottom of lawlessness and corruption which have come to light, both from the
Mueller Report<\/a> but also from a bunch of other contexts. He has laid out an aggressive plan for us to interview a bunch of witnesses both about the
Mueller Report<\/a> and other potential offenses, alleged offenses against the character of our regime. And i know that everybody wants to turn it into like a crime and punishment thing but thats not the way the founders saw impeachment. Impeachment is not about crime and punishment. Nobody goes to jail there. Impeachment is about defending our constitutional system of government. It is about defending the rule of law. So weve got to focus on the public character of the offenses that the president mavy have engaged in. Based on you and fellow colleagues having a chance to talk today, the attitude towards making impeachment inquiry part of the process youre describing, tell me if im wrong. If im hearing you correctly, it sounds like that has not changed in your view . There have been no formal articles of impeachment that have been adopted and referred to a committee. But im asking if the appetite, here is what im asking. When the starr report 20 years ago hit congress, within two weeks, the republicans voted to open an impeachment inquiry. Yes. They said it is essential to the investigating process to have the inquiry. The chairman of the investigating committee is the choice is shall we look further or look away, and the vote was to open that. Im asking again, the sentiment of your colleagues, is it to improve that progress or not to go there. Got you. I toemwill tell you what i thine sentiment is, i dont purport to speak for all of them. Our sentiment is republicans that impeached bill clinton did it wrong, let me tell you why. It goes to the current situation. They received the starr report and to his credit at that point ken starr turned over the whole report, unedited, unredacted with supporting materials and huge boxes sent to the house of representatives. At that point, the house of representatives moved quickly just to impeach the president. They didnt have witnesses, didnt have hearings, didnt have public discussion. Seemed like it was a complete partisan hit job. And the truth is, they impeached bill clinton for obstructing justice for one lie about a private act of sex. We would descend to that level. We do not think that impeachment is for private lies or lies about private life. We think its about obstruction of justice going to the whole system of the constitution. More importantly, if you read the founders, especially if you look at
Alexander Hamilton<\/a> on this, if you look at george mason, its converting the office to an instrument of selfenrichment that is converting the government of the
United States<\/a> to a money making enterprise for the president , who acts more and more like a king. Well, i dont think we have enough evidence yet to know. Im speaking for myself here. But the reason why the emoluments clauses in the constitution is to say the president cannot be receiving presents, emoluments, offices and titles from foreign princes, kings and governments. There are a lot of allegations that the president has been collecting millions of dollars at the trump hotel, the trump office tower, the golf clubs, other offices from
Foreign Government<\/a>s and princes and kings. And i think that really needs to be at the heart of the investigation were doing into the corruption and lawlessness that are engulfing the trump administration. All right, congressman jamie raskin, democrat from maryland, thank you for taking a few minutes. Thank you so much for having me. All right, casey, brett, zerlina, casey, you speak fluent capitol hill. Im going to lean on you to tell me what you just heard. I think he was on the call, first of all. I think he was on the call. But second of all, it sounds like somebody who is not too eager to move forward with impeachment and perhaps a signal about leadership. I think it is a signal as to where he stands. Mr. Raskin has become close to nancy pelosi and the leadership team. So i was hearing a little bit of what the back people tends to say about this kind of thing. It sounds to me from talking to another source on the cal that this is the direction theyre leading. And my question is really did the
Mueller Report<\/a> itself change
Nancy Pelosis<\/a> fundamental calculus. What im hearing so far is try to find out more fax, find more evidence. Let the committees do their work. Thats another classic pelosi line that has to do with the internal politics of the house, but also says were not going push anybody anywhere. Let the
Judiciary Committee<\/a> do its work. And the upshot is there isnt a groundswell in the
Democratic Caucus<\/a> around impeachment at this point. To zerlinas point, there is a loud group on the left that definitely do want it. But so far it does not seem to have expanded very far beyond that original crew. Given what your views, what did you make of what you heard there . Look, i think the democrats are now digesting the report with the rest of us. The report has only been out a few days. Even in the example when you used the 2000 example, that was at least two weeks. Who knows where well be a week from now. Maybe next monday well be having an entirely different conversation. Again, going back to the
American People<\/a>, because, again, they need to read the report or at least try to get as much information as they can about the report, and maybe that is through hearings. Maybe that is through a public airing out of all of the facts so that the
American People<\/a> can make the judgment in the 2020 elections. But, again, i think democrats will listen if they are hearing from their constituents. So i never like to think that politics is a fixed thing that cannot be changed. I believe that we have an active participatory role here. So the
American People<\/a> are reading the report and they are horrified by the fact that the
Trump Campaign<\/a> willingly took help from a hostile
Foreign Government<\/a> and then went on to win the
Electoral College<\/a> and then went on to help cover up that, what took place, they need to make that known. That means that they need to call congressman raskin that. Need to call nancy pelosi and say im a constituent, or im a democratic supporter, and i think that this warrants at least a very serious series of hearings that could ultimately end in impeachment, but may not, right . I think that all of this is about making sure that we get all of the information necessary. And that actually starts. Its possible too that there is a calculation here that theyre not calling for impeachment today, because they need to still see the rest of the
Mueller Report<\/a>. And putting impeachment on the table right now, it actually cancels out a move that they can make later on. But brett, though, quickly, the question of timing here. Now youve got the subpoena from mcgahn, and well see what happens with that youre going have all these subpoenas out there. The clock is ticking. Were april 2019. If you start taking months on to it, the 2020 campaign. This is all anyone is going to talk about. You saw in the exchange you had with the congressman. He wanted to mention three pieces of legislation, stuff the
Democratic Congress<\/a> is actually doing for real people, and were saying hang on a second. All we want to talk about in the kind of rage machine is impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. Well, impeachment is not going happen, okay. Its not going remove the president. Its going to suck a lot of oxygen in the air that could be devoteded to stuff people actually care about, and its going to energize the
Republican Base<\/a> thats going say wait a second, we just got a
Mueller Report<\/a> that leaving aside the question of the interpretation of obstruction issue, concluded no collusion or conspiracy. Thats the result of it. There is a moment when democrats have to say what is the goal . To rebuke the president . To know more about what a cad he is, or is the goal to find a democrat who can take the nomination and win the election in 2020 . And if that second goal is your goal, right, then we need to start lowering the volume on this. There is going to be a period of rage now with the
Mueller Report<\/a> and feeling like god, this president is so awful, and we knew he was so awful. And lets remind ourselves of just what a terrible human being he is. Buff at a certain point, i hate to say this, we have to move on to stuff people care about. Move on. 20 seconds. I think the strategy is going to be dig up as much information as possible to inform the electorate in 2020, and make it all about 2020. What does nancy pelosi want . She wants to win. She wants a democrat in the white house. Impeaching donald trump in the house of representatives is simply not going to accomplish that goal, period. If it started right now, the entire process and got through the house and got to the senate and the trial, realistically, i think youre probably at labor day, and thats if you started today. There is a calendar consideration probably. Kasie, brad, zerlina, thank you all. Well be right back. I switched to liberty mutual, because they let me customize my insurance. And as a fitness junkie, i customize everything, like my bike, and my calves. Liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Up.
