bill: peter doocy has the follow-up from des moines, iowa. hello to you. what are you hearing? good morning, bill. back in march hillary clinton said she was not running. as the primary process has played out she is thinking like she did back in 2008 and 2016. she ran for president because she thought she would be the best president. if she still thought that now and thought she had the best odds of beating donald trump i think she would think about it long and hard. she hasn t foreclosed the possibility. no, she has not. she has already accused one democratic candidate of being groomed by russia to help president trump. late last night the frontrunner joe biden stood up for tulsi gabbard and tried to reason with what clinton was getting at. my guess is that hillary is so frustrated with what the russians did in her campaign and they are still doing not necessarily with tulsi gabbard but still doing in this campaign, everybody knows it.
Bit wobbly. the big news this week was that they wanted to have an impeachment vote by thanksgiving. that timetable is slipping. they say they want to sharpen their case. think, bill, it means it will slip into december. mitch mcconnell thought he would have a trial before the end of the year but now it looks as though the trial will roll over into january. january is one month before what? the big democratic presidential primaries. four of them, right? iowa, new hampshire, nevada and south carolina. if you re having a trial in the u.s. senate of the sitting president of the united states, those senators are going to have to be there and five democratic senators are running for president. so instead of campaigning in those democratic primaries during the week, they are going to have to sit in the senate for the trial. no way they can blow off going out there to campaign while you are trying to president of the united states. bill: you talk about the russia collusion narrative and obs
Of course, the american people haven t seen a lot of this information. these hearings aren t being held openly. bill: if you get a public hearing in three weeks perhaps it all changes. it could change the dynamic absolutely. the other thing i ll tell you, when you put people in live testimony in a public hearing you never know what can happen. people will change their story, crumble, make admissions. there is a lot of this game yet to be played. bill: tom dupree with analysis from washington, d.c. thank you, tom. see you soon. sandra: chicago s top cop snubbing the president refusing to attend trump s speech to police chiefs a little bit later next week. why he is saying he is skipping it even though he is co-hosting the event. plus this. bill: terrifying moment for two young girls. how they survived when a tree crashed through the roof of their home.
Northern syria. the u.s. lifting sanctions on turkey as the turkish and russian troops move into that area. fox news contributor dan hoffman former c.i.a. station chief. good morning to you. you ve served all over the world. what is your take on what we learned from yesterday so far? well, we ve learned a lot from the congress and their sentiment. totally understandable they want to sanction turkey for ethnic displacement of the kurds and the work they re doing with russia, syria and iran. we also heard from ambassador special envoy for syria jim jeffrey whom i know was ambassador to iraq. he expressed some concern about some isis prisoners escaping. and the lack of leverage frankly that we have now in the region after having removed our troops. he did say that even if our troops had remained they would not have blocked that turkish incursion. bill: i m looking at the wicked brew. how do you solve this?
