Impeachment hearings. and that s the problem, eamon, is that the constituents that they have need to be making the phone calls, need to be sending emails and saying to them we want a fair trial. this is wrong. what the president has done, what the house has laid out is problematic, and we know that if this has been barack obama, if it had been bill clinton, if it had been any democrat, we know exactly what republicans would be doing right now. the fact is it is up to us, the people, to call on our representatives that we elected to do the right thing. that s the only way they re going to do the right thing is if we demand it. our constitutional framers probably not envision a situation where the senate under the control of the same party of the president would be so much in lock step with the president on something as serious as impeachment. i would think the framers are rolling in their grave right now because this is exactly the kind of situation that they thought ....
A smear campaign by rudy giuliani. trump called her bad news. it was a terrible moment. a person who saw me reading the transcript said that the color drained from my face. i think i even had a physical reaction. a parade of witnesses who say they re not out to get the president, just to tell congress what they saw and heard. i think all of us who came here under legal obligation also felt we had a moral obligation to do so. we came as fact witnesses. eamon, they tell us now that we ve gotten to know the men and women, it s put a major bump in the situation. to that point, kimberly. let me get your thoughts on this as josh was outlining the state department, nsc officials in the case of lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. at the end of all of this, is the argument that republicans are trying to make have to do with the defense of the president s action or the ....

This impeachment investigation if they do not insist and go to the courts to get somebody like mick mulvaney to testify under subpoena? well, that s the big question in washington right now, right, eamon? the answer in my view is maybe. i think the witness testimony that we all heard over the last couple of weeks before the house intel committee painted a very, very clear picture about what happened. the facts do not seem to be in dispute but, of course, to the extent that some might say there are missing links, mick mulvaney can fill in or contribute one of those missing links. many of the witnesses, as we heard, pointed to mulvaney as having been involved throughout this process in pursuing this effort and so his testimony could be valuable. and so to the extent that more evidence is better, sure, mulvaney could be valuable, but even without him the picture seems very clear. so, noah, if you had to if ....
Wonder what john mccain is thinking right now. i think it s a reflection of how sort of ugly politics has become. that was former vice president joe biden lamenting the state of politics after calling for mike pompeo to release all documents related to his son hunter and ba reesema. joining me, chris coons of delaware and a biden campaign surrogate senator. thank you for joining us this evening. thank you. let me begin with your reaction to senator graham s calls for an investigation into former vice president joe biden, his son hunter and barisma. what do you make of that this weekend? i m really struck by this, eamon. i know the senator well. we have traveled together and legislated together. i agree with vice president biden s comments that you played at the outset. i think he will come to regret this decision. i know that he s under enormous pressure from the trump white ....
