Pro quo, donald trump seems to think unless he said the words, quid pro quo, unlessthrust explicitly a this for that, he s in the clear then you have more people saying yes, there was a quid pro quo and vindman yesterday saying this, the $400 million in security aid and the meeting was contingent apparently the words of vindman on burisma, the bidens and there are multiple witnesses saying now there was a quid pro quo. and he said there was no quid pro quo, he was relaying trump s words but didn t actually have any knowledge whether there was or not. i don t want to get into donald trump s theory of mind, right, but i do think that he probably believed some of this stuff, right, which does give him in his own mind a justification but he still thinks not only is there a physical server but it really is locked away somewhere ....
Kevin mcaleenan was tough enough. now the president is looking for a presumably crueller and more lawless homeland security secretary. the reported front-runners who both work at dhs in acting positions seem to be in trouble. one of them is a guy named ken cuccinelli. you may remember him over the summer as the guy who suggested a rewrite to the poem inside the statue of liberty. give me your tired and poor who can stand on their own two feet and will not become a public charge. doesn t have the same ring. here he what today at a house committee hearing. don t want anyone who looks or talks differently than caucasian americans to be allowed into this country. that s false. i m sorry. please don t interrupt me, and i d like the time added back. that s defamatory. there is nothing defamatory about it. the gentlelady controls the time and the witness will get a chance to respond. thank you very much. you want to block immigration and make life harder for all immigrants and y ....
An interesting side legal battle here that seems like it s sort of complicated, but seeps like it s designed to sort out which legal authority should prevail here and whether they should be compelled to go and testify before congress. what is your reporting indicate about bolton s current relationship with president trump? i mean, we know that it ended terribly. we know that bolton is sort of forced out, deeply angry about the sort of things that he couldn t accomplish policy wise in the white house. he tries to establish that he is not being fired even though trump is asserting that he was and you basically saw mike pompeo and others practically giddy yes. at his departure. famously. you know, on that day. so, i mean, there can t be warm feelings between john bolton and that white house crew right now. greg miller, thank you very much for joining us tonight. ahead, why even senate republicans are balking at the president s scheme to install an ....
Them enough of the process. talk about the substance. again, the substance is bad and there seems a disconnect between how the president understands what he did and all those working around him to cover it up, keep it secret, hide it which itself shows a consciousness of guilt. the president tried to offer a bribe to a foreign leader. your colleague ari melber s talked about this. the founders in the constitution detailed two specific grounds for impeachment in addition to the catch-all high crimes and misdemeanor, and those are treason and bribery. bribery at the time of the founding was offering a thing of value, say military aid or a white house visit, in an attempt to induce a government official to engage in a corrupt act. that s what president trump did. he induced a bribe. it s going to be pretty hard to defend. i continue to be astounded, nancy, but how wide the whole ....
