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
million people watched all or part of them. in a conversation that everyone can remember from their own textbooks, from their own civics, what is this constitution about and what does it mean today? i think that part, although at times dry, was well-handled by these experts, who as maya mentioned, were impassioned on both sides. this is an election. so that is no longer an appropriate check if we re dealing with alleged cheating in an election. mr. collins, the ranking republican, indicated that starting with law processors, there would be something lacking in today s testimony. here, mr. collins, i would like to say to you, sir, that i read transcripts of every one of the witnesses who appeared in the live hearing because i would not speak about these things without reviewing the facts.
