  • WE APPRECIATE IT.

  • >>> LET'S BRING IN NOW JOHN

  • BUFFY ASSOCIATE EDITOR FROM

  • "WALL STREET JOURNAL."

  • GREAT TO SEE YOU.

  • LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS ADDITIONAL

  • IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES THAT THE

  • DEMOCRATS REPORTEDLY NOT RULING

  • OUT ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP.

  • THEY STILL NEED TO HEAR FROM DON

  • McCANN.

  • COULD WE SEE ANOTHER IMPEACHMENT

  • IN THE HOUSE?

  • >> IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE.

  • DEMOCRATS SAYING THE ARTICLES

  • HAVE BEEN WRITTEN UP AND

  • APPROVED BY THE HOUSE AND THEY

  • ARE WAITING TO BE PASSED ON TO

  • THE SENATE.

  • THAT THE INVESTIGATIONS HAVEN'T

  • STOPPED.

  • REMEMBER THAT THE MUELLER REPORT

  • HAD 10 OUTSTANDING STATEMENTS

  • ABOUT OBSTRUCTION BY THE

  • PRESIDENT.

  • THOSE ARE STILL STANDING.

  • THEY WERE NOT TRIED.

  • THEY WERE NOT HEARD IN THE

  • HOUSE.

  • ELEMENTS OF THE MCGHAN WILL BE

  • PART OF THAT.

  • WHAT MCGHAN DID ON BEHALF OF THE

  • PRESIDENT IN MINDS OF THE HOUSE

  • OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE.

  • >> DEMOCRATS SAY THAT MCGHAN'S

  • TESTIMONY PRODUCES NEW EVIDENCE

  • THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP COMMITTED

  • IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES.

  • THIS THIRD ARTICLE MEANS HE

  • OBSTRUCTING CONGRESS.

  • GRAHAM SAID THIS IS PROOF THAT

  • DEMS DON'T THINK THEY CAN WIN AT

  • THE BALLOT BOX

  • >> I'M NOT SURE THAT THE

  • CORRECT.

  • HOUSE SPEAKER IS BLAMED NOT

  • WAITING FOR THE JUDICIAL PROCESS

  • TO PLAY THROUGH TO FORCE

  • WITNESSES SUCH AS MULVANEY AND

  • BOLTON TO APPEAR BEFORE THE

  • HOUSE BEFORE THE ARTICLES OF

  • IMPEACHMENT WERE WRITTEN UP AND

  • PASSED ON TO THE SENATE.

  • THE SPEAKER IS DEMANDING

  • WITNESSES BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE

  • GNAT.

  • REMEMBER THAT THE WHITE HOUSE

  • SAID, THEY CAN'T TESTIFY.

  • THE HOUSE SPEAKER KIND OF MISSED

  • AN OPPORTUNITY BY LETTING THE

  • COURTS DECIDE THIS.

  • WHAT SHE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WAS

  • THE DELAY.

  • SHE DIDN'T WANT THIS DRAGGING

  • INTO THE CAMPAIGN NEXT YEAR.

  • SHE WANTED SOME KIND OF

  • RESOLUTION QUICKLY.

  • NOW THE SENATE SAYING, WE'RE NOT

  • GOING TO CALL ANY WITNESSES.

  • THE PROBLEM THERE, AT THE END OF

  • THE DAY, THE PUBLIC IS WONDERING

  • CAN'T THESE WITNESSES COME SPEAK

  • AND TELL THE TRUTH.

  • IS THERE A COVER-UP.

  • >> MCGHAN WAS SOMEONE THAT THE

  • DEMOCRATS ORIGINALLY HAD WANTED

  • TO TESTIFY EARLY ON WHEN IT CAME

  • TO THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION.

  • THE DEMOCRATS MADE A DECISION

  • THEY WOULD ONLY PROCEED WELL TWO

  • ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT.

  • MEANING THEY WOULD LEAVE OUT

  • MUELLER AND FOCUS ON UKRAINE.

  • NOW THEY'RE DECIDING TO BRING IN

  • MUELLER IN THE 11th HOUR WHICH

  • SORT OF PRESENTS A SIGN OF

  • DESPERATION TO SOME WHO SAY THAT

  • MAYBE THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THEIR

  • DUCKS IN THE ROW.

  • THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH

  • EVIDENCE.

  • THAT IS WHY NANCY PELOSI IS

  • INSTALLING TO GET ENOUGH

  • EVIDENCE.

  • HOW MUCH COULD THIS HURT THE

  • DEMOCRATS?

  • >> I THINK THAT'S THE REPUBLICAN

  • ARGUMENT THAT'S WHAT THE

  • DEMOCRATS ARE DOING.

  • I THINK THE DEMOCRATS WILL POND

  • TO THAT SAYING, THIS IS THE

  • PROCESS.

  • IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE COURTS

  • TO MAKE THEIR DECISION.

  • THEREFORE, IT TOOK US A WHILE TO

  • COME BACK TO THIS ELEMENT OF

  • OBSTRUCTION.

  • WHETHER OR NOT THE MCGHAN ISSUE

  • LISTEN PRESENTED TO THE SENATE

  • AS PART OF THE TRIAL.

  • I THINK IT'S KIND OF PLAYING

  • BOTH PARTS OF -- DEPENDING ON

  • WHO YOU WILL SIDE WITH.

  • PEOPLE CHOSEN THEIR SIDES

  • ALREADY.

  • IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S PART OF THE

  • MESSY PROCESS.

  • CERTAINLY IT HAS GOTTEN MESSY.

  • THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT PASSING ON

  • THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO

  • THE SENATE.

  • GIVES THE REPUBLICANS TO SAY,

  • THEY'RE AFRAID OF STEPPING

  • FORWARD.

  • >> I WANT TO MOVE TON TO

  • REPUBLICAN SENATOR LISA

  • MURKOWSKI.

  • SHE SAID SHE WAS DISTURBED TO

  • HEAR MITCH McCONNELL SAYING

  • THERE'S COORDINATION OVER THE

  • IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.

  • WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE SENATE'S

  • RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WHITE

  • HOUSE IMPENDING TRIAL?

  • >> MURKOWSKI POINTED IT OUT.

  • SHE'S PA MODERATE.

  • SHE'S SOMEBODY MITCH McCONNELL

  • SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT SIDING

  • WITH DEMOCRATS ON THE PROCEDURAL

  • ASPECTS OF THE TRIAL COMING

  • FORWARD.

  • THIS IS WHAT McCONNELL SAID.

  • IF IT'S A TRIAL, YOU WOULD HOPE

  • THAT THE JUDGE AND THE JURY ARE

  • IN IMPARTIAL.

  • THEY HAVE SIDED WITH ONE SIDE OR

  • THE OTHER.

  • BY SAYING HE'S NOT GOING TO CALL

  • WITNESSES BY SAYING HE'S

  • COORDINATING WITH THE WHITE

  • HOUSE.

  • THAT'S PROBLEMATIC.

  • THIS IS NOT A TRIAL IN THE

  • TRADITIONAL SENSE OF A U.S.

  • COURTROOM.

  • IT'S A POLITICAL PROCESS.

  • >> THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY

  • ENTITLED WITNESSED AT THIS

  • POINT.

  • I WANT TO COMPARE BETWEEN

  • TYPICAL CRIMINAL TRIAL AND

  • IMPEACHMENT TRIAL IN THE SENATE.

  • >> THAT'S CORRECT.

WE APPRECIATE IT.
