Trump Embarrassment: MAGA Officials Resign As Dems Prep New Impeachment Hearings | MSNBC

Nov 27, 2019


MSNBC

House Dems are shifting from investigating the Ukraine plot by gathering evidence, to moving towards formal impeachment as Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announces more public hearings and invites Trump and his counsel to attend. Glenn Kirschner, Joyce Vance and Maya Wiley join MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber. Aired on 11/27/19.

Clinton took up the offer for his lawyer to attend the hearing he decided to attend voluntarily. Judiciary will look at the evidence and government lawyers, who serve the public (are non-partisan), will look at the question whether or not the freeze of aid was lawful. One or more could either support or undermine Trump's defense. Kirschner suggests Giuliani better get prepared to take the fall, as Cohen was forced to. He thinks Rudy's 'insurance policy' could end up getting him in trouble, as Cohen's tape did. Consensus of the participants in the video is that Trump will have a lot of trouble distancing himself from Giuliani.
