It's your staff's involvement with Feng and Lanagin 50 00:02:35,512 --> 00:02:37,930 that expanded Dunbar's investigation, 51 00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:40,349 - which resulted in the travel logs... - These impeachment hearings 52 00:02:40,349 --> 00:02:42,852 are the result of political maneuvering, not... 53 00:02:42,852 --> 00:02:44,687 Your maneuverings, or the Republicans? 54 00:02:44,687 --> 00:02:49,024 Morley, I've always liked you.

The legality of this mechanism 505 00:35:36,995 --> 00:35:42,458 is something I continue to believe is within the boundaries of the law. 506 00:35:45,044 --> 00:35:48,672 But as for the mechanism itself, Mr. Feng is correct. 507 00:35:48,672 --> 00:35:54,052 I orchestrated it, I facilitated it, and the President knew about it. 508 00:35:54,052 --> 00:35:56,471 Danton just cancelled. 509 00:35:56,471 --> 00:36:00,474 Screw Danton.

You have the right to remain silent. 514 00:36:20,993 --> 00:36:23,078 Anything you say can and will be used against you... 515 00:36:23,078 --> 00:36:26,915 We'll want a bond, for his cooperation in the hearing. 516 00:36:26,915 --> 00:36:29,543 I'll talk bonds if you'll talk a plea. 517 00:36:29,543 --> 00:36:32,921 Response to the testimony has been swift and vocal. 518 00:36:32,921 --> 00:36:36,299 Protesters have been gathering in front of the White House since yesterday 519 00:36:36,299 --> 00:36:38,926 demanding President Walker's resignation. 520 00:36:38,926 --> 00:36:43,472 And an online petition has already accumulate over 200,000 signatures 521 00:36:43,472 --> 00:36:45,057 in the past 24 hours. 522 00:36:45,057 --> 00:36:47,518 The list of lawmakers publicly condemning 523 00:36:47,518 --> 00:36:49,978 the president has grown on both sides of the aisle. 524 00:36:49,978 --> 00:36:52,772 This afternoon, the Chinese ambassador also condemned 525 00:36:52,772 --> 00:36:55,275 the Walker administration, saying China would not 526 00:36:55,275 --> 00:36:57,443 negotiate with a president who dealt 527 00:36:57,443 --> 00:36:59,946 with corrupt businessmen behind Beijing's back. 528 00:36:59,946 --> 00:37:02,198 This at a time when warships from both countries... 529 00:37:02,198 --> 00:37:05,784 Meanwhile, the president and First Lady remain bunkered at Camp David, 530 00:37:05,784 --> 00:37:09,913 and have offered no public response to the most recent developments in Washington. 531 00:37:09,913 --> 00:37:12,082 I'm here with Ayla Sayyad of the Wall Street Telegraph. 532 00:37:12,082 --> 00:37:15,877 I have to begin by saying that sources on the Hill are telling me 533 00:37:15,877 --> 00:37:19,338 that the Judiciary Committee may bypass debate altogether. 534 00:37:19,338 --> 00:37:21,674 No one on the committee has gone on record about that. 535 00:37:21,674 --> 00:37:24,260 But do you think these rumors would be circulating if there weren't some sort 536 00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:27,554 of strong preference to recommend the articles of impeachment to the House? 537 00:37:27,554 --> 00:37:30,140 I think it's safe to assume there is strong support. 538 00:37:30,140 --> 00:37:33,268 Every poll I've seen shows an overwhelming majority of Americans 539 00:37:33,268 --> 00:37:36,104 want this to move forward. I don't think politicians are going to ignore that. 540 00:37:36,104 --> 00:37:39,065 I've talked to a number of my colleagues already. 541 00:37:39,065 --> 00:37:41,150 There is support on my side of the aisle. 542 00:37:41,150 --> 00:37:44,069 - How many do you have? - Five at this point, including me. 543 00:37:44,069 --> 00:37:46,864 That would put us at 60. We'd still need seven more. 544 00:37:46,864 --> 00:37:51,118 You've seen the overnight polls. He's dipped down into the single digits. 545 00:37:51,118 --> 00:37:53,745 Are you willing to make a public statement with us? 546 00:37:53,745 --> 00:37:58,833 I think the country could use a little bipartisanship right now, don't you? 547 00:37:58,833 --> 00:38:00,126 Do you think they're bluffing? 548 00:38:01,127 --> 00:38:03,003 That it's some sort of stunt 549 00:38:03,003 --> 00:38:05,839 to sway the undecideds in the Senate? 550 00:38:05,839 --> 00:38:08,550 Michael Kern is bitter and small-minded, sir, 551 00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:12,137 but he wouldn't have appeared publicly with Mendoza if they didn't have the numbers. 552 00:38:12,137 --> 00:38:14,389 I imagine we're worse off in the House than we were before. 553 00:38:14,389 --> 00:38:17,558 In fact, I had a very productive conversation with Jackie Sharp. 554 00:38:17,558 --> 00:38:20,353 She agreed to stop the attack if we give her our support 555 00:38:20,394 --> 00:38:24,356 for majority leader after the midterms, but once Raymond gave his testimony, 556 00:38:24,356 --> 00:38:25,983 she called to say the deal was off. 557 00:38:25,983 --> 00:38:28,777 Raymond really has set us back. 558 00:38:28,777 --> 00:38:32,697 - I can't fathom why he lied. - It's retribution. 559 00:38:32,697 --> 00:38:36,618 - For what?

The personal touch. 566 00:38:57,762 --> 00:39:01,682 If he came back to us, it might make the other Democrats get cold feet. 567 00:39:01,682 --> 00:39:07,354 China isn't helping. President Qian won't return my calls. Beijing must smell death. 568 00:39:07,354 --> 00:39:10,190 They're just exploiting the situation for leverage. 569 00:39:10,190 --> 00:39:14,611 Let's not worry about China for the moment.
