THE PRESIDENTS IMPEACHMENT TRIAL HAS BEGUN IN THE SENATE AND ITS SIMULCAST ON TELEVISION. IF YOU WATCHED, THE SITUATION IS COMPLEX AND TIRESOME AND VERY BORING. NO ONE CAN DO THE JOBS THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO ALL THIS IS IN PROGRESS. THAT'S NOT A SIDE EFFECT OF IMPEACHMENT. IN MANY WAYS, IT WAS THE POINT ALL ALONG OF IMPEACHMENT, TO STALL THE PRESIDENT'S POLICY AGENDA. IT'S FRUSTRATING. SO FRUSTRATING YOU MAY HAVE LOST SIGHT OF THE REASON WE ARE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHAT IS THAT REASON? THE ARTICLES BEFORE THE SENATE ACCUSE THE PRESIDENT OF USE OF POWER AND OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS, THEY ARE BROAD CHARGES AND COULD MEAN ANYTHING. HERE'S WHAT THEY ACTUALLY MEAN. DONALD TRUMP IS BEING IMPEACHED BECAUSE HE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT'S SON WAS BEING PAID HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR BY FOREIGNERS FOR WHAT EFFECTIVELY WAS A NO-SHOW JOB IN INDUSTRY HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT. THE OBVIOUS ANSWER IS IT WAS A CROOKED DEAL. AT THE SAME TIME HUNTER BIDEN WAS GETTING RICH FROM THE UKRAINIAN ENERGY COMPANY, HIS FATHER JOE WAS OVERSEEING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S UKRAINE POLICY. THAT'S CORRUPTION. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TELLING YOU ON CNN. IT'S NOT THE ONLY EXAMPLE. THE BIDEN NAME WAS ALSO USED AT ONE POINT TO SELL A BOND SCHEME THAT DEFRAUDED AN AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBE IN SOUTH DAKOTA. ONE OF HUNTER BIDEN'S CLOSEST BUSINESS PARTNERS IS STILL BATTLING CHARGES IN THAT CASE. AND THEN THERE'S THE QUESTION OF JOE BIDEN'S BROTHER FRANK. ACCORDING TO ABC NEWS, IN 2009, FRANK BIDEN SIGNED ON AS THE FRONT MAN FOR A FLORIDA CHARTER SCHOOL COMPANY CALLED MAVERICKS FOR EDUCATION. FRANK BIDEN OPENLY BRAGGED THAT HIS LAST NAME WAS AN ASSET FOR THE COMPANY. THAT'S WHY THEY HIRED HIM OF, OF COURSE. HE BRAGGED IT WOULD ASSURE HIM AUTOMATIC ACCEPTANCE AS THEY SOUGHT REGULATORY APPROVAL AND IT DID. BIDEN'S BROTHER WORE PRESIDENTIAL CUFFLINKS TO SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS. THE ARRANGEMENT MADE FRANK BIDEN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THE COMPANY'S BEEN ACCUSED OF MISMANAGING THE SCHOOL AND INFLATING ENROLLMENT TO SECURE MORE GOVERNMENT MONEY. EVENTUALLY THE SCHOOLS WERE SOLD. FRANK BIDEN WAS SPECULATING IN THE CARIBBEAN. BIDEN BEGAN WORKING WITH THE SOLAR ENERGY COMPANY SEEKING TO BUILD PLANTS IN COSTA RICA AND JAMAICA. FRANK BIDEN HAD NO EXPERIENCE IN SOLAR ENERGY. HE HAD A BROTHER SERVING AS VICE PRESIDENT. BOTH THOSE PROJECTS WERE BOOSTED BY LOANS FROM U.S. GOVERNMENT BACKED BY YOU, THE TAXPAYER. AND THEN THERE'S JOE BIDEN HIMSELF. IN AN ERA WHERE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE SUFFOCATING UNDER MOUNTAINS OF HIGH INTEREST DEBT, BIDEN SPENT HIS ENTIRE CAREER IN THE SENATE SERVING CREDIT CARD COMPANIES. THE SAME TIME, MAKING IT HARDER FOR REGULAR PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF THEIR DEBT AND BANKRUPTCY. IN RETURN FOR THAT SERVICE, THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY MBNA GAVE HUNTER BIDEN A JOB. HERE IS NOTED NONRIGHT WINGER TOM BROKAW CONFRONTING JOE BIDEN. >> YOUR SON WAS WORKING FOR THE COMPANY THE SAME TIME. IN RETROSPECT, WASN'T IT INAPPROPRIATE FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS TO HAVE YOUR SON COLLECTING MONEY FROM A BIG CREDIT CARD COMPANY WHILE YOU ARE ON THE BOARD? >> ABSOLUTELY NOT. >> Tucker: SERVANT TO THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES? THINK OF SOMETHING MORE THAN DISGUSTING, MORE HARMFUL. SELLING LIQUOR TO CHILDREN? IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT'S WORSE THAN THAT. EVEN LEFTISTS ARE OFFENDED. BERNIE SANDERS CAMPAIGN SURROGATE RODE "BIDEN'S CAREER WAS BANKROLLED BY THE CREDIT CARD INDUSTRY. HE DELIVERED FOR BY SPEARHEADING A BANKRUPTCY BILL THAT MADE IT HARDER FOR AMERICANS TO REDUCE THEIR DEBT AND HELP CAUSED THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. HE NOT ONLY AUTHORED AND VOTED FOR THAT BILL, HE SPLIT WITH BARACK OBAMA AND LED THE BATTLE TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC AMENDMENTS." THAT'S ALL TRUE. LOOK IT UP. IS BIDEN APOLOGIZING FOR WHAT HE DID? NO, HE'S NOT. SOMEHOW BERNIE SANDERS IS APOLOGIZING. FOR THE CRIME OF TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT JOE BIDEN. THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT HAD LANDED ON BERNIE SANDERS WITH BOTH FEET FOR DAYS HE'S BEEN SAVAGED BY ESTABLISHMENT ROBOTS LIKE PAUL KRUGMAN OF "THE NEW YORK TIMES." " KRUGMAN TWEETED. THERE IS NOTHING TO DISTRUST ABOUT THE COLUMN. IT WAS FACTUALLY ACCURATE IN EVERY WAY. SANDERS GOT THE MESSAGE. APOLOGIZE OR WE WILL DESTROY YOUR CANDIDACY. HE PROBABLY GROVELED FOR MERCY. >> I'VE KNOWN HIM FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. HE IS A DECENT GUY. WE HAVE STRONG DISAGREEMENTS BUT ARE NUMBER OF ISSUES AND WILL ARGUE THOSE DISAGREEMENTS. BUT IT'S ACTUALLY NOT MY VIEW THAT JOE IS CORRUPT IN ANY WAY. >> Tucker: JOE IS NOT CORRUPTED ANYWAY, HE REPEATED. THAT'S NOT A CAMPAIGN MESSAGE. IT'S A HOSTAGE TAPE. TAPED UNDER DURESS. WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? SIMPLE. THE SELF-SUSTAINING ORGANISM THAT IS THE DEMOCRATIC ESTABLISHMENT IS DUMPING ANTIBODIES INTO THE SYSTEM TO PROTECT ITSELF. BERNIE SANDERS, LIKE DONALD TRUMP, IS A THREAT TO THEIR POWER. JOE BIDEN IS NOT A THREAT TO THEIR POWER. IT'S LIKE THEY CARE ABOUT JOE BIDEN AS A PERSON. IF THEY CARED ABOUT JOE BIDEN, THEY WOULD'VE CONVINCED HIM NOT TO RUN. BIDEN IS IN NO CONDITION TO BE PRESIDENT OR EVEN TO RUN FOR THE CHILD, AS YOU'VE NOTICED. HE IS HUMILIATING HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY. FOR NOW, BIDEN IS ALL THEY'VE GOT. IF HILLARY CLINTON JUMPS INTO THE RACE OR MICHELLE OBAMA, BIDEN WILL BE TOSSED ASIDE AND FORGOTTEN. THEY ARE VESSELS FOR TEMPORARY USE. WHAT THE LEFT CARES ABOUT IS REGAINING CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY. THAT'S WHY THEY WILL DO WHATEVER'S NECESSARY TO PROTECT
