this report chronicles a scheme by the
president's Tate's to coerce an ally
basically we got is something that's
actually not all that unexpected but it
is very clear in a 300 word page
document in black and white here that
the house is moving to impeach Donald
Trump on basically two counts one is
abuse of office this is again there's a
charge of Hughes against Richard Nixon
we always knew this was going to be the
one the second thing we were also
expecting again a little bit something
that's happened more recently is
obstruction basically the Trump
administration and the White House
itself and Donald Trump personally has
said no one who works for him should
cooperate with the house impeachment
proceedings it is what the the house
argues a it's its own prerogative it's
Constitution prerogative to investigate
and Pietschmann
it would be hard to imagine a stronger
or more complete case of obstruction
than demonstrate by the president since
the inquiry began rights to the House
Intelligence Committee I think what we
have produced in in remarkable short
order is so overwhelming that it ought
to be presented to the Judiciary
Committee now without any further delay
in the Constitution the House Judiciary
Committee is the one responsible for
issuing articles of impeachment and we
expect that before the Christmas break
we will have articles and teachings
reported to the floor of the house and
voted probably at a party-line vote to
go to the Senate so this is a huge
moment in the impeachment but it is
still just a moment in that our focus is
on the president's conduct first and
foremost it may be the role of others to
evaluate the conduct of members of
Congress thank you very much this is a
document a 300 page document that tries
to tell a narrative and tell a story
much like the Muller report that your
average American could read and
understand and again it's very clear
language they use it's a it stole like
almost like a novel in terms of the way
they try to tell this story and it's a
political document as much as it is a
legal document you tried to convince
your average voter that what they're
doing is not some sort of hoax as the
Trez president claims or some sort of
witch-hunt as the president claims but
is a true narrative of abuse of power by
the president of united states to
pressure a foreign government to get
involved in domestic US politics for his
own personal gain and that is the real
purpose of this three hundred page
document
