RUSH TRANSCRIPT the White ░░░░░░░░ stonewalls subpoenas and request ░░░░░░░░ testimony on all fronts ░░░░░░░░ Westwood we appreciate it ░░░░░░░░ much Thank you With ░░░░░░░░ is CNN political analyst ░░░░░░░░ Zeleny and professor at ░░░░░░░░ University and also with ░░░░░░░░ is siraj hasmi of ░░░░░░░░ Washington examiner The president ░░░░░░░░ critics have wondered when ░░░░░░░░ would potentially break in ░░░░░░░░ significant way from the ░░░░░░░░ s characterization of the ░░░░░░░░ report the full exoneration ░░░░░░░░ has done it What ░░░░░░░░ the significance of one ░░░░░░░░ this one Justin Amash ░░░░░░░░ not really the most ░░░░░░░░ Republican to come out ░░░░░░░░ President Trump and sort ░░░░░░░░ suggesting it and opening ░░░░░░░░ door about impeachment If ░░░░░░░░ want to say it ░░░░░░░░ senator Lindsey Graham or ░░░░░░░░ majority leader Mitchell McConnell ░░░░░░░░ President Trump has a ░░░░░░░░ on his hand Amash ░░░░░░░░ always been critical of ░░░░░░░░ Trump and floated the ░░░░░░░░ of running for president ░░░░░░░░ 2020 on the libertarian ░░░░░░░░ With respect to this ░░░░░░░░ thread there are two ░░░░░░░░ at play One it ░░░░░░░░ be he is running ░░░░░░░░ president The second one ░░░░░░░░ that he could be ░░░░░░░░ that if a house ░░░░░░░░ vote was brought up ░░░░░░░░ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ░░░░░░░░ hold Attorney General William ░░░░░░░░ in contempt that he ░░░░░░░░ support it and this ░░░░░░░░ probably the case that ░░░░░░░░ is laying out in ░░░░░░░░ he would support it ░░░░░░░░ s talk about 2020 ░░░░░░░░ a moment Julian I ░░░░░░░░ read everything that congressman ░░░░░░░░ tweeted What he did ░░░░░░░░ write was that President ░░░░░░░░ should be impeached He ░░░░░░░░ out what the responsibility ░░░░░░░░ role of Congress is ░░░░░░░░ did not write that ░░░░░░░░ should begin impeachment proceedings ░░░░░░░░ significance of stopping short ░░░░░░░░ that from your perspective ░░░░░░░░ does he now have ░░░░░░░░ make that clear That ░░░░░░░░ the most significant point ░░░░░░░░ in some ways he ░░░░░░░░ like the Democrats who ░░░░░░░░ been saying the president ░░░░░░░░ in impeachable behavior but ░░░░░░░░ the same time we ░░░░░░░░ saying we are not ░░░░░░░░ forward with impeachment proceedings ░░░░░░░░ Amash s tweet which ░░░░░░░░ very pointed it s ░░░░░░░░ direct but it stops ░░░░░░░░ of calling for the ░░░░░░░░ So unless anyone calls ░░░░░░░░ the process this is ░░░░░░░░ lot of rhetoric it ░░░░░░░░ be damaging to the ░░░░░░░░ president politically but we ░░░░░░░░ not moving closer toward ░░░░░░░░ proceedings Sirrage you mentioned ░░░░░░░░ and chair of the ░░░░░░░░ tweeted out in response ░░░░░░░░ Amash s conclusions are ░░░░░░░░ fixated on Russian collusion ░░░░░░░░ anybody tweeting this they ░░░░░░░░ fixating on Russian collusion ░░░░░░░░ anybody hoping to defeat ░░░░░░░░ in 2020 The president ░░░░░░░░ job approval is at ░░░░░░░░ amongst Republicans according to ░░░░░░░░ new fox poll Is ░░░░░░░░ something he is considering ░░░░░░░░ he was on CNN ░░░░░░░░ few months ago he ░░░░░░░░ he had not ruled ░░░░░░░░ out I don t ░░░░░░░░ he would be running ░░░░░░░░ a Republican If anything ░░░░░░░░ would be running as ░░░░░░░░ libertarian If that case ░░░░░░░░ siphoning off President Trump ░░░░░░░░ support along Trump s ░░░░░░░░ and libertarians supporting Trump ░░░░░░░░ and states like states ░░░░░░░░ Amash is from or ░░░░░░░░ states he won in ░░░░░░░░ and Wisconsin in 2016 ░░░░░░░░ may be about helping ░░░░░░░░ more than helping President ░░░░░░░░ but at this moment ░░░░░░░░ is probably you know ░░░░░░░░ is one of those ░░░░░░░░ who have been outspoken ░░░░░░░░ President Trump and could ░░░░░░░░ a possibility he is ░░░░░░░░ his mind and nothing ░░░░░░░░ to it but this ░░░░░░░░ Washington and one of ░░░░░░░░ things is he running ░░░░░░░░ president We have no ░░░░░░░░ He released it on ░░░░░░░░ so at some point ░░░░░░░░ has to come out ░░░░░░░░ speak about his position ░░░░░░░░ Julian Amash writes he ░░░░░░░░ the Attorney general misled ░░░░░░░░ public in a statement ░░░░░░░░ congressional testimony but here ░░░░░░░░ he doesn t explicitly ░░░░░░░░ for a consequence for ░░░░░░░░ Attorney general Does this ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats case there ░░░░░░░░ be one Any residue ░░░░░░░░ to the president s ░░░░░░░░ It helps to make ░░░░░░░░ argument This is not ░░░░░░░░ a partisan witchhunt as ░░░░░░░░ president says You have ░░░░░░░░ whether Amash or George ░░░░░░░░ who are openly talking ░░░░░░░░ impeachable offenses but doesn ░░░░░░░░ change the basic dynamics ░░░░░░░░ basic Republican leadership said ░░░░░░░░ code and not moving ░░░░░░░░ the process It requires ░░░░░░░░ the president and the ░░░░░░░░ G But it leaves ░░░░░░░░ exactly where we were ░░░░░░░░ days ago Siraj we ░░░░░░░░ the tweet from Michigan ░░░░░░░░ Talib saying come on ░░░░░░░░ to my office I ░░░░░░░░ gone at impeachment resolution ░░░░░░░░ might want to sign ░░░░░░░░ to What does this ░░░░░░░░ for those Democrats who ░░░░░░░░ said we are not ░░░░░░░░ to move forward on ░░░░░░░░ because there is no ░░░░░░░░ of bipartisanship They are ░░░░░░░░ for fund raising Amash ░░░░░░░░ signal is saying donate ░░░░░░░░ us and be in ░░░░░░░░ of more power in ░░░░░░░░ government Amash definitely helping ░░░░░░░░ more than Republicans at ░░░░░░░░ moment We will talk ░░░░░░░░ about this tweet this ░░░░░░░░ Siraj hasmi and Julian ░░░░░░░░ good to have you ░░░░░░░░ you Breaking overnight An ░░░░░░░░ year old girl has ░░░░░░░░ found safe after she was
