Rep. Quigley: ‘Impeachment Inquiry Will Help Educate, Inform the American Public’

KORNACKI Let me start ░░░░░░░░ that question first of ░░░░░░░░ to nail down what ░░░░░░░░ it is that you ░░░░░░░░ calling for here You ░░░░░░░░ I ve seen in ░░░░░░░░ statement the term impeachment ░░░░░░░░ We re hearing that ░░░░░░░░ lot now that word ░░░░░░░░ attached to impeachment Is ░░░░░░░░ a distinction you re ░░░░░░░░ to draw between just ░░░░░░░░ impeachment and saying an ░░░░░░░░ inquiry or is that ░░░░░░░░ distinction without a difference ░░░░░░░░ Well I think to ░░░░░░░░ public there may not ░░░░░░░░ a distinction but the ░░░░░░░░ that we see is ░░░░░░░░ Watergate hearings began on ░░░░░░░░ inquiry and I think ░░░░░░░░ do two things for ░░░░░░░░ I think they bolster ░░░░░░░░ legal arguments in front ░░░░░░░░ the courts to obtain ░░░░░░░░ reports get subpoenas answered ░░░░░░░░ force people to testify ░░░░░░░░ also think the hearings ░░░░░░░░ will come with the ░░░░░░░░ inquiry will help educate ░░░░░░░░ the American public One ░░░░░░░░ the things that struck ░░░░░░░░ last week was the ░░░░░░░░ of the Special Counsel ░░░░░░░░ message when Mr Mueller ░░░░░░░░ what he said He ░░░░░░░░ just reading from his ░░░░░░░░ report But it s ░░░░░░░░ that a large amount ░░░░░░░░ the American public took ░░░░░░░░ Barr to his word ░░░░░░░░ the report exonerated him ░░░░░░░░ I think the inquiry ░░░░░░░░ two purposes It helps ░░░░░░░░ with our oversight function ░░░░░░░░ it educates the American ░░░░░░░░ And I think moves ░░░░░░░░ where we should be ░░░░░░░░ to a full scale ░░░░░░░░ of the President.”
