Decided until much later in the year. the question is whether or not democrats pursue the witnesses who may decide to go to court and drag this out. democrats at the home moment signaling they aren t going that route and instead moving forward in the inquiry. the big question is whether or not democrats have what they believe is enough evidence to move forward in impeachment. because it s unclear how many more witnesses will ultimately come and testify. next week behind closed doors they do have a befy of witnesses coming. monday will be a key day. there are four people who are scheduled to come testify. national security councils - attorney, robert blare, the deputy under mick muffly mike ellison and deputy uneisen erik and brine mccormick working at the office of management and budge pmt used to be chief of staff in the energy department who is wrapped up in this matter. but there are other witnesses next week including other officials in the office of management and budget. state de ....
You know, whether it s susan collins or murkowski ob romney or one or two others that may break at the end of the day. especially if public opinion moves swiftly over in the public hearings. but even sew, jim, it s far short of what they need to actually unseat the president. you know, they need 17 to 20 to make it. they re a long way from there. what we have seen here is a remarkable display of how bitterly partisan the country has become. to see sitting president trump a republican with no republicans yesterday breaking ranks. important to remember when bill clinton a democrat impeached, 31 democrats broke ranks and voted in favor of the impeachment. appear when richard nixon ab, a republican was being impeached over 180 republicans voted to go forward with the impeachment proceedings. only four held back. but, is it i wonder, ....
