reporter: in certain instances, it would give it might give us better cases better access and the lawyers argue about the extent of that. are you on the same page with the speaker, nancy pelosi web when it comes to impeachment? as i said, we are launching an inquiry now and whether we launch an impeachment inquiry, it may come to that. it may come to that. well, is there any chance, mr. chairman, you would open up an impeachment inquiry without speaker pelosi s support? i think that if when that decision has to be made, it will be made not by any one individual, it will be made probably by the caucus as a whole. certainly, nancy will have the largest single voice in it, various committee charms and various committee members. and you re not there yet, but it s potentially over the horizon. let s move on, mr. chairman. why are you so confident that
same. at the same time as a strategist, be polling the american public. what is the tipping point. when does the american public start to get an appetite. like it or not, impeachment problem isn t a legal one, it s a political one. i m with nancy, i keep stacking my chips, stacking my chips. you will go high in at some point. why not have as high a stack as possible. what would she say? she s been having a strategy since day one. she s still a speaker meeting with the president on infrastructure, prescription drugs. there s a constitutional office, she s trying to engage with the president. the pressure from the committee charms. she s the grown-up in the room. 1974 articles of impeachment, article 3 was about was a narrow article of impeachment. it was about abuse of power, the white house refusing requests from congress. she has to wonder, and i ve talked to house democrats about this, could she begin an impeachment proceeding without trying to impeach the president. i know
mechanism with which you approach legislation. we don t know what the republican tax plan is. he didn t know. congress has been in its first session for eight months. what is the republican tax plan? why is the committee not writing it? it s not about one leader. it s not about one speaker. it s about the institution of congress itself is proving to be ungovernable. mainly because of i think reforms like the has either rule, like the ban on earmarks, like the committee term limits or committee charms that republicans themselves have imposed. they ve made the institution ungovernable. that needs to change if they want to have a governing majority. not a bad word to pause on there. it sounds like you ve got your column already being written this your head there. stay with us. still ahead, president trump keeps all options on the table on north korea. but does he have any good ones to choose from? david. what s going on? oh hey! that s it? yeah. everybody two seconds!
