This is a really serious moment. i think no one is delighted in doing this. the facts have required to us move forward in this fashion and i think everyone is approaching it in a serious way. talk me through how you and your colleagueses are thinking about minority rights in this process. the house is a majoritarian institution. the speaker calls the shots. you guys make the rules. it is also the case you have colleagues and you ll some day be on the other side of this. you ve been in the minority. you will be again probably. what do you view as their role and what they re entitled to in this process? well, i mean, i think everyone is committed to ensuring that this process is fair, that the minority and the president have an opportunity to make their case to present evidence, to present arguments, to cross examine witnesses. so if you look through the resolution, we ve actually afforded the minority much greater rights than existed in the clinton and nixon impeachments and we re d ....
Critically ill children your collateral damage in the process. after declaring that i am not a white supremacist, as you alluded nor is the president. okay. facts matter. well, ken cuccinelli has even rubbed his own party the wrong way. so much so even with republicans in control of the senate, reporting indicates he probably would not get confirmed. they re bearing a grudge from some past political actions he took. so now the white house is trying to explore a loophole to let donald trump put whoever he pleases in that position. the way they plan on doing that is appointing that person to a completely unrelated position and moving that person into the dhs job. that is how they plan on getting a trump, a crueller homeland security secretary. it is unclear if it will work. trump keeps going through dhs secretaries, though, because the real person pulling the administration on immigration policy is white house senior policy adviser stephen miller. we ll talk about him and what he ....

National security advisor is perhaps notoriously one of the most brutal and ruthless knife fighters around the u.s. government. his time was short and contentious. bullet as most republicans in bolton s position have remained somewhat beholden to trump, bolton has not. in a new piece in the washington post greg miller points to a meeting as a moment of detonation of the ukraine crisis inside the white house. quote, two ukrainian officials were ushered into a meeting in bolton s office in the west wing along with sondland, hill, and others. sondland turned the conversation away from ongoing corruption probes to specific investigations important to trump according to testimony from vindman. bolton was so alarmed by the exchange he ended the meeting abruptly and ordered those gathered out of his office. now bolton could be a dangerous witness against the president. ....
The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned. that was stephen miller, senior white house policy adviser, back in february 2017 making the case that donald trump s immigration policy, specifically his muslim ban, which they had to withdraw because it was unlawful, shall not be questioned. that is very much on brand for him. stephen miller is i guess you could politely say is a hart liner who is single-handedly worked to draft a draconian immigration policy. and where you re seeing the damage of his ceaseless meddling firsthand and the policies being carried out. cnn reporting we are on track to admit zero refugees in the month of october. not one. that comes as the migration picture is ever more dire than ever. new york times reporting the ....
