Temporary hold on aid. it is not impeachable kind of booffense. laura: it is not even close. by the way, just so our viewers tonight understand, on wednesday, if you thought the previous impeachment hearings were boring, on wednesday, you get to hear from law professors. someone who sat in a lot of lectures. one is noah feldman, a harvard professor with 1 of 4 witnesses to testify on wednesday. constitutional scholar he has declared a lot of stuff to be impeachable on the part of trump. okay, here s the list, trump s pardoning of an arizona sheriff. that was impeachable. trump s tweet about the obama administration wiretapping there phones of his campaign. that s impeachable. number three, and the now defunct buzzfeed story. and number four, an
Had demonstrable proof that these things were happening. you look at all the work the president has tried to do around the world to end wars, resolve conflicts, reduce nuclear proliferation, a lot of that work has been hindered by the lies being told in this country that can be traced right back to the dnc and the clinton campaign. tucker: it is such a smart point. i can tke believe that we are alighting over, flowing past the fact that the obama administration spied on the trump campaign. if the trump administration were using the department of justice to spy on the kamala harris for president campaign, that seems to me, it would be a very serious breach and a very big new story. by arena finding out everything we can about what the obama doj did to the trump campaign? it allo goes back to the fact that we allow secret courts to operate in the absence of transparency and that invites an opportunity for corruption. it allows people to politicize the highest levels of our ncintellig
Hasn t been there. they missed a key point, which is follow the facts. i may be to his credit, we need to see the details of the report, may be mueller actually followed the facts. this is an important point. you and i were on together in mid-january. remember the night that robert mueller, to his great credit, came forward and said that buzzfeed story was wrong, that claimed that president trump had directed michael cohen to lie to congress. that was critical because cnn and others ran with that buzzfeed report and said, if true, this could lead to impeachment. robert mueller was saying, it s not true. secondly, i think it exposed not just, as he played that card from adam schiff and other democrats who got ahead of the facts, , and off a lot of people in our business who got way ahead of the facts. tucker: you have to wonder that s right. not for the first time. we had a guest a moment ago,
The most maximalist interpretation of what the trump-russia conspiracy consisted of, irrespective of skeptics saying, let s exercise caution, let s not lead to conclusions. the one exception, the candidate i m covering, tulsi gabbard, who juston last week said somethingo the effect of, the people who have been calling trump russia s puppet have actually distracted from the reality that trump is actually contradicted much of his campaign rhetoric and taken aggressive actions toward russia, and that is what democrats should have been emphasizing this entire time, rather than tucker: you are totally right. this conspiracy rabbit hole. tucker: for her to say that as an active real bravery right now. thank you very much for joining us tonight. good to see you. thanks. tucker: probably nobody has covered the story more closely than kimberley strassel of the wall street journal and we are happy to haveou her on tonit to help make sense of what we know now. what do you think we k
Across the airwaves about what the story actually entailed. you know, this past weekend marked the anniversary of the iraq invasion. since then, all the top media promoters of that invasion have ascended to high levels of power and influence. i could name a couple, many of whom, frankly, appear on this not work on occasion. tucker: you are right. one of them is a national security advisor of the united states right now. so yes. if i could speak to president trump i would ask them, why are you why did you appoint john bolton, one of the main promoters of the iraq war to be the members of your security team when you said it was a disaster? that such aggression. the point is, the strong-russia story is a media failure of probable magnitude. less death, thankfully. but just as much total inability total factual indiscretion. i think something similar is going to happen where the people who were proven decisively
