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.
