RUSH TRANSCRIPT You Thank ░░░░░░░░ I want to bring ░░░░░░░░ our panel now Michael ░░░░░░░░ a law professor at ░░░░░░░░ University of North Carolina ░░░░░░░░ you so much to ░░░░░░░░ you have for being ░░░░░░░░ I want to ask ░░░░░░░░ Jeff about the president ░░░░░░░░ happy with how today ░░░░░░░░ He has reason to ░░░░░░░░ I think a lot ░░░░░░░░ us are in agreement ░░░░░░░░ that I wonder even ░░░░░░░░ Jeremy said he s ░░░░░░░░ because he heard some ░░░░░░░░ the arguments he s ░░░░░░░░ We know how the ░░░░░░░░ are made is very ░░░░░░░░ to the president Who ░░░░░░░░ you think he s ░░░░░░░░ happy with because there ░░░░░░░░ a few of his ░░░░░░░░ up there today There ░░░░░░░░ It struck me this ░░░░░░░░ style between a few ░░░░░░░░ them Cipollone was mild ░░░░░░░░ Sekulow was bombastic My ░░░░░░░░ is he really liked ░░░░░░░░ s style He likes ░░░░░░░░ fact the argument was ░░░░░░░░ well Stylistically he might ░░░░░░░░ preferred the way Jay ░░░░░░░░ it than pat What ░░░░░░░░ you think about how ░░░░░░░░ went and what that ░░░░░░░░ for the president First ░░░░░░░░ lunar new year I ░░░░░░░░ like Jeff the president ░░░░░░░░ to be pleased overall ░░░░░░░░ the way his team ░░░░░░░░ I wouldn t point ░░░░░░░░ any one of the ░░░░░░░░ I saw them laying ░░░░░░░░ a base of fire ░░░░░░░░ think they will save ░░░░░░░░ big arguments the ones ░░░░░░░░ resonate with the base ░░░░░░░░ Monday and Tuesday Today ░░░░░░░░ Saturday People are taking ░░░░░░░░ stocker practice You ahead ░░░░░░░░ make the technical points ░░░░░░░░ rule 10 Did the ░░░░░░░░ take a full vote ░░░░░░░░ initiate impeachment proceedings You ░░░░░░░░ them introduce words like ░░░░░░░░ and flowed instead of ░░░░░░░░ up after being caught ░░░░░░░░ got that out into ░░░░░░░░ bloodstream I think they ░░░░░░░░ the way going forward ░░░░░░░░ you say this was ░░░░░░░░ good day for the ░░░░░░░░ I thought it was ░░░░░░░░ weak I thought it ░░░░░░░░ meager and what it ░░░░░░░░ open by them saying ░░░░░░░░ the Democrats didn t ░░░░░░░░ you were all of ░░░░░░░░ facts They didn t ░░░░░░░░ do you this fact ░░░░░░░░ didn t show you ░░░░░░░░ fact and they didn ░░░░░░░░ put it in context ░░░░░░░░ fact they did show ░░░░░░░░ What does that tell ░░░░░░░░ then as a trier ░░░░░░░░ fact these senators It ░░░░░░░░ you I need to ░░░░░░░░ other facts If I ░░░░░░░░ to decide then Context ░░░░░░░░ context Then I need ░░░░░░░░ see other facts How ░░░░░░░░ I get other facts ░░░░░░░░ how do I get ░░░░░░░░ I get them through ░░░░░░░░ witness other documents The ░░░░░░░░ way to do that ░░░░░░░░ to vote for other ░░░░░░░░ and documents I think ░░░░░░░░ just made a huge ░░░░░░░░ in favor of witnesses ░░░░░░░░ documents for the Democrats ░░░░░░░░ s a very good ░░░░░░░░ When you look at ░░░░░░░░ even though the country ░░░░░░░░ split on whether the ░░░░░░░░ should be removed on ░░░░░░░░ and documents they are ░░░░░░░░ The majority of Americans ░░░░░░░░ the lead there should ░░░░░░░░ more witnesses They want ░░░░░░░░ hear more information I ░░░░░░░░ if you thought this ░░░░░░░░ a day that served ░░░░░░░░ president or not Michael ░░░░░░░░ m split I would ░░░░░░░░ stylistically The lawyers toned ░░░░░░░░ done a bit for ░░░░░░░░ lawyers They weren t ░░░░░░░░ the table as I ░░░░░░░░ they will eventually That ░░░░░░░░ served them well Perhaps ░░░░░░░░ demonstrated the president shouting ░░░░░░░░ yelling doesn t always ░░░░░░░░ the best argument We ░░░░░░░░ sound reasonable Substantive P ░░░░░░░░ thought it was awful ░░░░░░░░ had no basis in ░░░░░░░░ When Cipollone said the ░░░░░░░░ are guilty of the ░░░░░░░░ attack on democracy That ░░░░░░░░ be for President Trump ░░░░░░░░ will call the other ░░░░░░░░ all the names which ░░░░░░░░ well fit themselves better ░░░░░░░░ think you heard that ░░░░░░░░ the entire arguments today ░░░░░░░░ m curious no basis ░░░░░░░░ fact you argue Sometimes ░░░░░░░░ wonder does that matter ░░░░░░░░ this going to be ░░░░░░░░ the president s supporters ░░░░░░░░ I disagree There was ░░░░░░░░ basis if fact Some ░░░░░░░░ their arguments were downright ░░░░░░░░ and as you said ░░░░░░░░ think it makes the ░░░░░░░░ for witnesses If you ░░░░░░░░ the president s legal ░░░░░░░░ and you know one ░░░░░░░░ the president is not ░░░░░░░░ to be removed and ░░░░░░░░ know there may not ░░░░░░░░ anybody to any Republicans ░░░░░░░░ vote from witnesses then ░░░░░░░░ can work from that ░░░░░░░░ and argue this You ░░░░░░░░ trying to make a ░░░░░░░░ here This evidence will ░░░░░░░░ out at some point ░░░░░░░░ we re seeing today ░░░░░░░░ and more evidence will ░░░░░░░░ out to the public ░░░░░░░░ or not the senators ░░░░░░░░ be able to vote ░░░░░░░░ it or not I ░░░░░░░░ t think they care ░░░░░░░░ think they just want ░░░░░░░░ get it over with ░░░░░░░░ said this stylistically political ░░░░░░░░ In that sense I ░░░░░░░░ the White House lawyers ░░░░░░░░ performed well I would ░░░░░░░░ what they were talking ░░░░░░░░ was a lot of ░░░░░░░░ points In the same ░░░░░░░░ points that were made ░░░░░░░░ just in the house ░░░░░░░░ on the campaign trail ░░░░░░░░ elsewhere Talking points are ░░░░░░░░ really legal arguments but ░░░░░░░░ are politically effecteffective It ░░░░░░░░ like they have gone ░░░░░░░░ the political fight knowing ░░░░░░░░ something nuclear happens the ░░░░░░░░ will remain in office ░░░░░░░░ saw just two hours ░░░░░░░░ these opening arguments Some ░░░░░░░░ the key themes emerging ░░░░░░░░ is this attempt to ░░░░░░░░ turn the election influence ░░░░░░░░ next one Ukrainian officials ░░░░░░░░ no pressure or quid ░░░░░░░░ quo Jabs at Adam ░░░░░░░░ This is Politics This ░░░░░░░░ partisan Let s listen ░░░░░░░░ Pat Cipollone You know ░░░░░░░░ else didn t show ░░░░░░░░ to answer questions about ░░░░░░░░ report in the way ░░░░░░░░ Starr did in the ░░░░░░░░ impeachment Ken Starr was ░░░░░░░░ to cross examination Do ░░░░░░░░ know who didn t ░░░░░░░░ up in the Judiciary ░░░░░░░░ Chairman Schiff He did ░░░░░░░░ show up He did ░░░░░░░░ give Chairman Nadler the ░░░░░░░░ of appearing before his ░░░░░░░░ and answering questions from ░░░░░░░░ committee He did send ░░░░░░░░ staff but why didn ░░░░░░░░ he show up I ░░░░░░░░ sorry I was on ░░░░░░░░ Judiciary Committee for the ░░░░░░░░ during the impeachment of ░░░░░░░░ Clinton I know how ░░░░░░░░ process worked and I ░░░░░░░░ there when Kenneth Starr ░░░░░░░░ We had he was ░░░░░░░░ council He was set ░░░░░░░░ differently Schiff is now ░░░░░░░░ to be a manager ░░░░░░░░ this trial so there ░░░░░░░░ no way he could ░░░░░░░░ before the committee Judiciary ░░░░░░░░ when he was going ░░░░░░░░ be a manager in ░░░░░░░░ Senate trial It wouldn ░░░░░░░░ have worked that way ░░░░░░░░ was not going be ░░░░░░░░ manager at the upcoming ░░░░░░░░ This is apples and ░░░░░░░░ Let me ask if ░░░░░░░░ is a reasonable illustration ░░░░░░░░ a normal trial you ░░░░░░░░ see the investigating officer ░░░░░░░░ re generally not going ░░░░░░░░ see the prosecutor take ░░░░░░░░ stand It s an ░░░░░░░░ point This demonstrates one ░░░░░░░░ the favorite techniques of ░░░░░░░░ president That s to ░░░░░░░░ the other people the ░░░░░░░░ side and do it ░░░░░░░░ If we re not ░░░░░░░░ to attack what Schiff ░░░░░░░░ let s attack Schiff ░░░░░░░░ s this kind of ░░░░░░░░ assassination or insinuation of ░░░░░░░░ did something wrong Whatever ░░░░░░░░ did it s in ░░░░░░░░ record Many Republicans were ░░░░░░░░ I think we re ░░░░░░░░ a sense of where ░░░░░░░░ will go next week ░░░░░░░░ on people like Schiff ░░░░░░░░ on Biden former vice ░░░░░░░░ Biden and Hunter Biden ░░░░░░░░ piece of their strategy ░░░░░░░░ do no harm They ░░░░░░░░ right now have the ░░░░░░░░ to be sure that ░░░░░░░░ president is acquitted Following ░░░░░░░░ little bit of the ░░░░░░░░ s play book by ░░░░░░░░ on people he s ░░░░░░░░ tweeted about he s ░░░░░░░░ criticized will be part ░░░░░░░░ keeping some focus on ░░░░░░░░ while not messing anything ░░░░░░░░ with the senators who ░░░░░░░░ need to be sure ░░░░░░░░ don t Jeff David ░░░░░░░░ thank you so much ░░░░░░░░ this
