The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Needed for a long time. I think these are people who cant speak publicly and they depend on their leadership to speak out. Fbi director Christopher Wray pushed back a little while ago. A few months ago. I think that its great that this message has been sent and remember, ana, that every time the president talks about how much he hates the fact that Jeff Sessions recused himself, this is an angle that is being investigated by the Special Counsel in terms of the obstruction of Justice Charges for firing james comey. So each of these tweets is yet another piece of evidence that goes to this longstanding resentment and grudge that he has that as david kris said, he has not been protected and had an expectation that this investigation would go away. David, what does trump do now . Because sessions just made pretty clear loyalty isnt on the table. Yes, well, i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall
in their recent inper
Robbery thats burglary, ill get it right. And in this situation youve got somebody really caught in the middle of it, and that doesnt excuse the person from the consequences. Professors, weve talked about abuse of power and bribery. When we started we said we would also discuss obstruction of congress. So i would like to ask you some questions about obstruction of congress. Professor gerhardt, in your view, is there enough evidence here to charge President Trump with the high crime and misdemeanor of obstruction of congress . I think theres more than enough. As i mentioned in my statement, just to really underscore this, the third article of impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee against president nixon charged him with misconduct because he had failed to comply with four legislative subpoenas. Here it is far more than four
that this president has failed to comply with. And he has ordered the Executive Branch as well not to cooperate with congress. Those together with a
case to bribery. it does. it is obvious and it is not that you can t impeach a non crime, you can. in fact non-crimes have never gone up alone or primarily as the bases of impeachmentme. that s the problem here. if you prove a quid pro quo, you may have an impeachable offense. to go up on a non criminal case, why is that the case? the reason is that crimes have established definition in case laws so there is a concrete independent body of law that assures the public that this is not just political that this is a president who did something they could not do. you can t say the president is above the law if you then say the crimes you accuse him of don t have to be established. that s the problem right now. many members of this house and
republicans are quiet or silent dollars lobbying in d.c., what do you think lawmakers should does not mean they are aware of the evidence and they are not do. mark benioff thinks that 230 aware of public opinion. we know that public opinion had shifted already. that s even before mulvaney should be done away with. do you think 230 should be taken admitted, confessed to having away because mark does? there was a quid pro quo and the president told there was a quid i don t think any for pro quo was regard to holding up those of you who don t know what the military aide to ukraine for 230 is. political purposes. so, i think several things are it does mean ta company like going to happen. facebook are not liable for one, public opinion is going to continue to shift against the individual post on our service. president because these facts are damming and they are horrifying. the president is taking the facebook and generally are not power of his office and using like newspapers. them fo
obstruction. he s a massive liar. if anything, it s turned very much in the president s favor. i think impeachmentme would be totally horrible. there s no reason. he didn t collude with the russians. he didn t obstruct justice. everything cohen says has been disproved. you d only impeach him for political reasons and the american people would revolt against that. reporter: rudy giuliani there on a golf course in scotland wearing his trump hat. rudy giuliani s been out of the country this week when the paul manafort verdict came down and michael cohen made his appearance in a new york courtroom. something that frustrated president trump with his lead attorney being so far away. you hear there rudy giuliani predicting dire circumstances if president trump would be impeached. and that s something that his client, his number one client, also said during an interview saying that he believed if he would be impeached that the stock markets would crash and everyone would be poor. ana? kait
