The inquiry, what is the difference between that inquiry and actual impeachment and how do you proceed from one to the other? well, impeachment is a thing. when he is finally impeached, it is a vote that then either can go to the senate for a trial or can be a conclusion by the house itself, saying, we find that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. but that end result, whatever form it takes, has to be proceeded by an impeachment proceeding, an impeachment inquiry. that s what we re engaged in now. a formal impeachment inquiry and it is apparently going to be organized primarily as a fact-finding matter, under adam schiff s committee, and then the conclusions from that committee and the others will presumably be gathered by the judiciary committee, which will draft articles of impeachment, present them for a vote on the floor. where there will be debate and a vote, and i hope it will be ....
There. they asked first of all how aware of this story are you. you can see of little or not at all. it adds up to 42% of registered voters who have not heard much. then they ask, the stories out there, do you think trump should be impeached or not. here is the starting point. 39% yes, 47% no. that number is pretty consistent of what we have been seeing for 2.5 years. consider this a starting point. pelosi is out there impeach. inqui inquiry. the challenge for democrats, we always say it is not just a legal process. a political process. this stuff does not matter in some degree, is this number going to go up. one of the reasons the number is less to support, republicans pretty unanimously against it. the fact that all these democrats coming in. ....
Impeaching the president. it was a vote in december 2017 that was forced to the floor by a member of the congressional black caucus, by al green of texas. 2017. on the house floor at the time he said, i am a voice in the wilderness but history will vindicate me. he got 58 votes for that impeachment resolution back in 2017. african-american voters are nearly a quarter of the democratic electorate. a surge in black turnout was responsible for a significant portion of the democratic gains in the house last year. it almost goes without saying but if the democratic party gives african-american voters reasons to be bored, demoralized or turned off it doesn t matter who the democrats will run for president in 2020. right now i think the democratic party is waking up to the fact that they not only have to think about how republicans view the issue if they open an impeachment inquiry but how their voters and would be voters would view them if they don t. ....
What s maddening is he and the attorney general have obstructed after the fact. they have made getting subpoenas answered, getting the unredacted report available to congress impossible. so how will we reasonably make a decision as to whether other crimes and misdemeanors were conducted without getting this information? at this point we have nothing to lose and i think opening impeachment inquiry will help us get that information. to your point, i think it will help educate the american public who obviously most have not read the mueller report. their first blush with the mueller report was a lie by the attorney general that the president was exonerated. we are still overcoming that. if anything, the special counsel gave us the window to present the alternative to it. that s an inquiry. for what it s worth on your ....
Program i m announcing that i notified the speaker s office today that i m asking we open an inqui inquiry. is it your sense the speaker is keeping a tally as democrats in the house seem to be shifting on this? as i mentioned we have been seeing a lot of people who were previously opposed to opening the inquiry now saying, like yourself, it should happen. is there dialogue happening with the speaker s office here? oh, certainly. i think speaker pelosi may be one of the great underrated politicians of our time. she understands how to work a caucus. it is tough to be a speaker in this day and age. democrat or republican. republicans had more members of congress than at any time since the hoover administration and they shut down the government and chased out speaker boehner and speaker ryan. to answer your question, absolutely. i have never seen the speaker in better form than she is now ....
