Is aen itting threat. how can you justify any delay? i don t think anyone is suggesting there is going to be any unnecessary delay. the speaker said at the press conference that she wants to see what the process is so she can make an informed judgment about who will best mag thnage that. look, let s focus on the important thing here. this is a serious action by the house. we have accused the president of two very serious crimes. uh-huh. the senate has a responsibility to try the president, and the american people have a right to expect that will be done in a thoughtful, deliberative, fair process. that s not only something the speaker cares about. it s something the american people care about. it s a very important point you make there about what this says, this impeachment. this is an accusation. these are two charges. the political argument that you didn t make a good enough case, your case only needed to be strong enough to sustain the charges. the vetting of those charges h ....

All the facts. right. so do you believe that trump s stonewalling and trying to keep you from getting all the facts, do you think that amounts to obstruction? i think it doesn t help. i think he is looking and asking for a contempt of congress, though you re seeing some of the witnesses come forward after they are subpoenaed. i keep going back to when i was young, and i really was in high school or college working for senator robert griffin, a republican senator from michigan. i flew back with him the day that he called richard nixon and told him he needed to resign. up until that moment, he had been with him. i was lucky enough, my family knew president ford. i remembered what it was like back then. suddenly they heard the tapes. they knew he had lied. yeah. i think that that s why getting the facts right now, but slow, deliberative, making sure we re getting them, and that people we do have to work about our national security. ....
