Sitting president of the United States. Another mark up hearing tomorrow morning which is expected. The imminent impeachment on the house floor of President Trump. I want to bring in our correspondent, i believe we have garret headache aake on the hil his first appearance here on the hill. We have seen you a lot garret. We have some folks looking at that hearing, you have been looking at impeachment. Speaker pelosi has telegraphed a narrow case that could be pushed through judiciary, our colleague Geoff Bennett did not see the democrats splintering or holding other amendments here. They want to get this through you kn unified. What does your reporting show about that . Thats right. We have been starting to put the pieces together on a senate trial which is mostly fan
fiction of what you have been hearing about it that both sides speculated of what it looks like. We heard from Mitch Mcconnell yesterday afternoon saying theyll wait until the new year getting it started. It will push all
I want to tone things down a little bit here and First Express my gratitude for the thousands of men and women who work every day on the front line with the fbi. I come from a background as a prosecutor and our local Law Enforcement work with the fbi every day in our local office in minnesota, and then in the senate, ive had the privilege to work with many, many people in the fbi.

Its stunning, its end at salacious and its a bunch of. Senator lindsey graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee talking about the steele dossier, the focus of this Inspector Generals report and this hearing in washington. Your risk withere with chris wa. I think there is a lot of damaging information about the fisa warrants on the way was carried out, and it isnt just come up with this name of a
relatively low level fbi what lawyer, i just want to read you one statement in the Opening Statement. If we are deeply concerned of that basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate handpicked Investigative Teams on one of the most sensitive fbi investigations and that
for the u.s. department of justice and president of the public interest and legal foundation, christian adams. christian, thank you so much for being here this morning. do you expect any apologies generally or for carter page? well, maybe, but who will pay for all the lives that they lies that they peddled? who s going to pay for that? i mean, it s cnn and msnbc, it became their business mold to report on the fairy tales of russian collusion built around this dossier. i don t expect anybody will have the courage to stand up and say i made a mistake, i shouldn t have written this article, and there s plenty of people out there who ought to do it. pete: yeah. just look at the report itself. here s one of the findings from horowitz. he said we further determined that the crossfire hurricane team was unable to corroborate any of the specific, any of the specific substantive allegations regarding carter page contained in the steele election reporting. they can t corroborate any of
