WELCOME BACK TO CHEDDAR NEWS
TODAY, THE HOUSE IS SET TO VOTE
ON THE PROCEDURES FOR
IMPEACHMENT WHICH IS IT SPECTER
TO PASS A NEAR PARTY
LINE VOTE POLITICAL JOURNALIST.
AARON DELL MOORE JOINS US NOW
TO DISCUSS AND WELCOME BACK TO
THE SHOW THANKS SO MUCH FOR
COMING ON THANKS I'D BE BACK
WITH YOU. IT IS BOTH THE
WAITING ON TODAY COMES AFTER
WEEKS OF TESTIMONY IN THIS WHAT
EXACTLY IS IT AND WHY IS IT
HAPPENING NOW JUST THINK OF
THIS AS A ROAD MAP ON HOW TO
MOVE FORWARD THROUGH
THE FIRST FIRST INITIAL STEPS
OF THIS AN IMPEACHMENT
INVESTIGATION, ESPECIALLY AS
EVERYTHING BECOMES MORE PUBLIC.
NOW WHAT IT'S NOT IS AN
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE
IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION
ITSELF DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
HAS TAKEN PAINS TO MAKE THAT
CLEAR SAYING THAT THAT'S NOT
REQUIRED EITHER LEGALLY OR
CONSTITUTIONALLY.
HOPING TO DO NOW IS REBUT SOME
OF THE CRITICISM FROM
REPUBLICANS WHO SAID THAT THIS
IS AN INVESTIGATION THAT'S GONE
ON WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION,
THEY'VE SAID THAT IT'S A SHAM
THEY'VE SAID THAT EVERYTHING
THAT GOES FORWARD ISN'T VALID
BECAUSE IT WASN'T VOTED ON SO
BASICALLY THEY'RE PUTTING
EVERYBODY ON THE RECORD TODAY
AND THEY'RE GOING TO SHOW THAT
THEIR MEMBERSHIP. IS GOING TO
SPELL OUT HOW THEY MOVE
AND THAT YOU COULD TAKE THIS IS
THAT A TACIT APPROVAL MEASURE
AND LIKE
I SAID.
>> EARLIER REPRESENTATIVES ARE
EXPECTED TO VOTE ALONG PARTY
LINES REPUBLICANS WHO LARGELY
CALL FOR THIS KIND TO FORMALIZE
THE IN CREEK. WHY DO THEY WANT
THIS VOTE TO HAPPEN WHY THEY
WANTED FORMALIZED.
COUPLE OF DIFFERENT BENEFITS
THAT COME ALONG WITH HAVING
THESE PROCEDURES
SPELLED OUT FOR ONE THING THEY
WANT TO GET EVERYBODY ON THE
SAME PAGE SO THEY KNOW HOW THIS
WILL MOVE FOWARD I'LL
TELL YOU IT'S GOING TO BE
STARTING IN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE THAT'S WHERE ADAM
SCHIFF IS THE LEADERSHIP
AND BASICALLY THEY'RE GOING TO
TAKE THE LEAD HERE. THEY'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE CALLING
WHITNEY THIS IS BUT THEY'RE
ALSO GOING TO BE ABLE TO CALL
THEM TO TESTIFY PUBLICLY AND AS
THOSE TRANSCRIPTS NOW THEY'RE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUSH
THEM FORWARD, THERE'S ALSO
GOING TO BE A SECOND STAGE HERE
AT THE HOUSE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE, THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE WILL FILE THE REPORT
OVER THERE. THAT'S WHERE
JERRY NADLER IS IN CHARGE AND
THEY'RE GOING TO THEN DECIDE
WHETHER TO RECOMMEND ARTICLES
OF IMPEACHMENT
THAT IS THE BIG VOTE THAT YOU
SEE AND THAT'S WHEN THEN IF ONE
OR MORE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT
ARE ENACTED, YOU WOULD SEE
SOMETHING LIKE A TRIAL MOVE
OVER TO THE SET BUT THERE'S A
REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE HERE
THOUGH THAT REPUBLIC AS WE GET
EXPANDED POWER HERE THEY WOULD
BE ABLE TO CALL WITNESSES TO
CROSS
EXAMINE WITNESSES. TRUMP
LAWYERS WOULD BE ABLE TO MOUNT
A DEFENSE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
IT'S A VOICE THAT'S BEEN
MISSING IN THIS PROCEEDING.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF
TESTIMONY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
AND AS REPORTERS.
WE TEND TO GET THOSE OPENING
STATEMENTS GET REPORTS FROM
LAWMAKERS AND STAFF WERE IN THE
ROOM, MANY OF THEM OFF THE
RECORD BUT REPUBLICANS HAVEN'T
HAD A CHANCE TO REALLY AIR
THEIR SIDE CALL THEIR PEOPLE.
I WILL SAY THAT WITH THE GAVEL.
IT WAS GREAT RESPONSIBILITY, A
GREAT POWER AND CERTAINLY A
LOT OF THOSE RULES PROCEEDINGS
ARE IN DEMOCRATS HANDS. THEY
HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHECK
REPUBLICANS AND SOME OF THIS
POWER BUT THEY'RE HOPING TO
BREAK THROUGH
THE STONEWALL. OK SO IF THIS
VOTE THAT PASSES IT TO THE
TESTIMONY WOULD BE PUBLIC THAT
RATE SO
NOT ALL THEY CAN CAUSE CERTAIN
WITNESSES TO TESTIFY PUBLICLY
AND SHOW THEY CAN GO BACK IN
TIME AND CAUSE SOME OF THEIR
MOST POWERFUL ARE CALLING FOR
WITNESSES TO TESTIFY PUBLICLY.
A PUBLIC CASE FOR IMPEACHMENT
THE OFFICIAL TO MOORE'S AND
HERE IS AND AHEAD OF HIS
TESTIMONY TODAY, WE'RE STILL
POSSIBLY WAITING FOR JOHN
BOLTON TO DO
RIGHT BY SO A LOT OF BIG NAMES
STILL POTENTIALLY COMING UP.
HOW DO YOU THINK THAT TODAY'S
VOTE WILL IMPACT THAT WELL I
THINK IT WILL GIVE THE
DEMOCRATS THE ABILITY TO CALL
BACK SOME PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT
BILL TAYLOR MARIE YOVANOVICH
CERTAINLY SOME OF THE
PEOPLE WHO THAT PROBABLY 10 A
COLONEL WHO WAS THE FIRST
FIRSTHAND WITNESS ON THAT JULY
25TH TELEPHONE CALL BETWEEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND UKRAINIAN
PRESIDENT. THEY CAN BRING SOME
OF THOSE PEOPLE INTO THE
SPOTLIGHT TO HELP ANSWER
QUESTIONS THAT HAVE LINGERED
PUBLICLY ABOUT THIS
INVESTIGATION AND ABOUT
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
PRECISE ACTIONS. IMPEACHMENT
OUR MIND EVERYONE IS A
POLITICAL PROCEEDING. IT'S NOT
A LEGAL REMEDY TO PROBLEM, IT'S
A
POLITICAL REMEDY. SO A LOT OF
THIS REALLY HINGES ON THE CASE
THEY CAN BUILD AND THE PUBLIC
SUPPORT THAT THEY CAN EITHER
GUARD OR OR THE PUBLIC SUPPORT
THAT MAY SWING TO A PRESIDENT
TRUMP, ESPECIALLY AS THE NEXT
ELECTION, THERE'S A GREAT
BREAKDOWN AS ALWAYS GOING TO BE
A BUSY
