Unindicted co-conspirator. i think that s exactly right. we just have to do the right thing for our country, which i don t think is happening right now. i mean, you think about it going back again to the founders. they knew donald trump was going to come. they knew that. that s why they added that remedy impeachment. they did not in i that congress would be too scared to act. i think that s the piece that they missed. i don t know what else could be more of an impeachable offense when you have the president of the united states using the power of the presidency to blackmail another country. i mean, i don t know what ulz for his own political gain. that s even worse. and so i m not sure what else do you need to act here, and it s like they have to move faster and be more active here. but you are dripping with exasperation and disappointment. are you optimistic that they ex
And now donald trump has shown that he believes he is above the law. he has solicited another foreign government to attack our election system. it is time for us to call out this illegal behavior and start impeachment proceedings right now. and mayor pete buttigieg is in iowa. thank you so much for spending some time with us. good to be with you. would you go so far today as elizabeth warren did. do you see this as a green light to donald trump to continue to act in a lawless manner if congress doesn t move toward impeachment proceedings? i think he s going to act in a lawless matter no matter what. look, he s made it clear that he deserves to be impeached. we are also in a reality where the senate republicans have completely lost touch with their
