HEARING FOR A MOMENT.

SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM IS IN

OUR WASHINGTON, D.C. BUREAU

LISTENING TO THIS.

AS A REPUBLICAN WE WANTED TO

GIVE YOU A TURN AS WELL HERE.

YOU SAID YESTERDAY -- IT

APPEARS CLEARLY THAT THESE TWO

ARTICLES ARE HEADED YOUR WAY IN

THE SENATE.

YESTERDAY YOU SAID WE WANT TO

DEEP SIXTH THING SUGGESTING YOU

WANT TO GET RID OF IT AS

QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

WHAT IS THAT TIME FRAME,

SENATOR?

>> WHAT I WOULD IMAGINE WOULD

HAPPEN, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO

SEE HAPPEN FOR THIS THING TO

GET OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT ANY

LEGITIMACY.

IT IS A CROCK.

I TRUSTED MUELLER TO LOOK AT

ALL THINGS TRUMP AND RUSSIA.

HE DID FOR TWO YEARS AND TOOK

NO ACTION.

EVERY IMPEACHMENT ACCEPT THIS

ONE HAS BEEN CONDUCTED BY

OUTSIDE COUNSEL.

KEN STARR AND CLINTON,

WATERGATE PROSECUTORS FOUND

MISCONDUCT BY PRESIDENT NIXON.

THIS IS BEING DRIVEN BY

DEMOCRATIC PARTISANS.

THIS BEING RUSHED, NO DUE

PROCESS, ABUSE OF POWER IF YOU

ARE LOOKING FOR IT, MY DEMOCRAT

HOUSE COLLEAGUES, LOOK IN THE

MIRROR.

SO HERE IS WHAT'S GOING TO

HAPPEN.

I HOPE WE'LL LOOK AT THE RECORD

THEY USED TO IMPEACH THE

PRESIDENT.

IF THEY GET 218 VOTES.

THAT WILL BE THE TRIAL RECORD.

LET THE HOUSE MANAGERS PRESENT

THEIR CASE.

LET THE PRESIDENT'S LAWYERS

COMMENT ON THE HOUSE CASE.

THEN VOTE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY DESIRE TO CALL

THE VICE PRESIDENT OR CALL

POMPEO, HUNTER OR JOE BIDEN.

WE CAN LOOK AT THE BIDEN AFFAIR

OUTSIDE OF IMPEACHMENT.

MY GOAL IS TO END THIS AS SOON

AS POSSIBLE FOR THE GOOD OF THE

COUNTRY.

IT'S A DANGER TO THE PRESIDENCY

TO LEGITIMIZE THIS.

>> Bill: DOES IT MEAN NO

WITNESSES AT ALL?

>> I DON'T NEED ANY WITNESSES

AT ALL.

I AM READY TO GO.

>> Bill: IN TERMS OF TIME IS A

WEEK, TWO WEEKS, A MONTH?

>> CLOSER TO A WEEK FOR SURE.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE

HOUSE TO APPEAR BEFORE THE

SENATE TO GO OVER THE EVIDENCE

THEY USED TO IMPEACH THE

PRESIDENT IN THE HOUSE?

THE TRIAL RECORD SHOULD BE THE

DOCUMENTS THEY USE FOR

IMPEACHMENT IN THE HOUSE, NO

MORE, NO LESS.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANY

WITNESSES.

THIS THING IS A SHAM.

A CROCK.

I DON'T WANT TO LEGITIMIZE IT.

I WANT TO GET IT OVER WITH.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS TO DO

OVERSIGHT OUTSIDE OF

IMPEACHMENT WHEN IT COMES TO

CORRUPTION IN UKRAINE AND WE

WILL.

>> Sandra: I WANT TO ASK YOU,

SENATOR, THANK YOU FOR JOINING

US AS WE CONTINUE TO LOOK ON AT

CAPITOL HILL AND THE GOINGS ON

THERE.

THE NEW REPORT SAYS THE

WHISTLEBLOWER'S TEAM IS

PREPARING FOR THE POSSIBILITY

OF TESTIMONY.

HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT

THAT OR ON THAT?

>> NO.

I THINK THE WHISTLEBLOWER NEEDS

TO BE KNOWN BUT WHEN IT COMES

TO THE TRIAL ITSELF THE COUNTRY

NEEDS TO GET IT OVER WITH.

THE SENATE NEEDS TO MOVE ON TO

THINGS THAT MATTER TO THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE.

WE NEED TO GET THIS CLOUD

REMOVED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP.

IT IS A JOKE.

I DID TRUST MUELLER TO BE FAIR.

HE FOUND NOTHING ACTIONABLE.

I DO NOT TRUST NADLER, SCHIFF

AND PELOSI TO BE FAIR.

THEY ARE BEING DRIVEN BY THE

MOST RADICAL PEOPLE IN THE

COUNTRY.

SO AS TO THE WHISTLEBLOWER I

THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE

FIND OUT WHO THIS PERSON IS

THAT STARTED THIS WHOLE CHARADE

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO EXTENDING

THE TRIAL, I'M NOT IN THE

EXTENDING THE TRIAL CAMP.

I'M INTO GETTING IT OVER WITH

CAMP.

>> Sandra: AS WE WATCH THIS

SAUSAGE MAKING ON CAPITOL HILL

THIS MORNING AND WE'LL GET BACK

TO THAT IN A MOMENT YOU HAVE

BEEN LIVE TWEETING DURING THAT,

SENATOR.

YOU HAVE TWEETED IF HOUSE

DEMOCRATS ARE LOOKING FOR AN

ABUSE OF POWER THEY SHOULD LOOK

IN THE MIRROR.

WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THAT?

>> THIS IS THE FIRST

IMPEACHMENT IN HISTORY

CONDUCTED BIPARTISAN.

INTEL COMMITTEE GATHERED THE

FACTS.

THE PRESIDENT'S LAWYER WAS

EXCLUDED FROM PARTICIPATING IN

THE INTEL COMMITTEE.

THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS ON INTEL

WERE DENIED THE ABILITY TO CALL

ANY WITNESSES.

THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING

ABOUT THE WHISTLEBLOWER.

THIS START EVIDENCE WITH AN

ANONYMOUS COMPLAINT.

THEY COULDN'T LOOK AS TO

WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS REAL

CORRUPTION ON BEHALF OF HUNTER

BIDEN.

IT WAS ALL SHUT DOWN.

IT MOVES TO THE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE.

THEY HAVE A HEARING WITH FOUR

LAW PROFESSORS.

AFTER THAT HEARING GIVING FOUR

OPINIONS NANCY PELOSI MOVES FOR

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.

THEY SHUT THE PRESIDENT OUT IN

THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IN

TERMS OF PUTTING ON A DEFENSE.

WHEN THIS COMES TO THE SENATE,

I'M GOING TO TREAT IT AS THE

SHAM IT IS FOR THE FUTURE OF

THE PRESIDENCY ITSELF WE NEED

NOT LEGITIMIZE THIS IN THE

SENATE.

WHAT THEY'VE DONE IN THE HOUSE

I THINK IS A DANGER TO THE

PRESIDENCY BEHIND CLOSED DOOR

TESTIMONY, 90 PERCENTERS OF IT

HEARSAY.

>> Bill: YESTERDAY DURING THE

CARTER PAGE/HOROWITZ HEARING

YOU SAID WAS THE F.B.I. SPYING

ON DONALD TRUMP.

IF THERE IS NO CARTER PAGE

WARRANT 3 1/2 YEARS AGO, WHAT

DO THE LAST THREE YEARS LOOK

LIKE?

>> WHAT I CAN'T GET OVER IS WHY

IT TOOK MUELLER TWO YEARS TO

FIND OUT THE OBVIOUS.

THE CARTER PAGE THEORY THAT HE

WAS WORKING WITH THE RUSSIANS

FELL APART COMPLETELY IN

JANUARY OF 2017.

CARTER PAGE WAS NOT WORKING

WITH THE RUSSIANS.

THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT

MANAFORT, FLYNN, CARTER PAGE OR

PAPADOPOULOS WERE WORKING WITH

THE RUSSIANS.

ALL THE EVIDENCE IS QUITE THE

OPPOSITE.

AND WHEN THEY FOUND EXCULPATORY

INFORMATION ABOUT MR. PAGE, THE

F.B.I. AND D.O.J. HID IT FROM

THE COURT AND LIED ABOUT THE

EVIDENCE.

THEY ALTERED DOCUMENTS TO KEEP

THE INVESTIGATION GOING.

THIS WAS OPENED AS A COUNTER

INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION

UNDER THE THEORY OF PROTECTING

THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN FROM FOREIGN

INTERFERENCE.

THEY HAD NO INTEREST IN

PROTECTING PRESIDENT TRUMP.

EVERY TIME THERE WAS A STOP

SIGN THEY RAN IT.

EVERY TIME THEY HAD INFORMATION

THAT SHOULD HAVE ENDED THE

INVESTIGATION, THEY KEPT GOING.

BECAUSE THE GOAL OF THESE

PEOPLE WAS TO DESTROY PRESIDENT

TRUMP.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, LISTEN
