it's very clear that that campaign has not given there is the result that were intended and that's probably according to analysts because the intention itself in many accuse those troops of not really being there only to finish that phenomenon of so-called terrorism in the region but also countries have interests they have interest in staying there for a long time and coordination with them ali in government also is faltering because they accuse the modern government of not doing its share we have seen those defeats after defeats by them against them ali and accusations there that whatever is given whatever is done whatever help is given to the modern army it's not making this army prepared enough to face the threat we also have their vast desert the fact that those thousands and thousands of kilometers of the south hell are uncontrollable those troops or so from foreign countries are not really going out

stores. because the democrat party has gone completely insane donald trump on the offensive as the beach meant inquiry against him goes public but the white house is refusing to cooperate so what happens next and what will be the impact on next year's elections this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm fully back to pull in only the 4th time in u.s. history the house of representatives has formalized impeachment proceedings against a sitting president public hearings will begin later this month after weeks of testimonies behind closed doors at the center of the investigation is whether president donald trump abuse his power and jeopardize national security by withholding u.s. military aid from ukraine in exchange for an investigation into his political rival joe biden has repeatedly denied doing anything wrong and has described the investigation as a witch hunt the white house is refusing to cooperate and has warned members of tribes in a circle against testifying loss to discuss what i guess but for asis reports from loss in jordan in washington to the it's one thing to attack your political opponents on twitter the democrat party has gone completely in saying.

it's another to do what all your political base is cheering you wall on that's how us president donald trump spent his friday night. 1st they engineered the russia hoax that was a total hoax the single greatest law was ever forster's upon the american people then the motor witchhunt it never ended and now corrupt politicians nancy pelosi. and shifty adam schiff shifty. and the media are continuing with the during. impeachment which i this is one i never thought to be involved in the word impeachment to me it's a dirty word the rally was trump's 1st since the house of representatives formally endorsed the impeachment inquiry against him on thursday trump told the crowd he

never pressured ukrainian president belong to me or selenski to investigate former vice president joe biden and his son hunter and that he did not withhold nearly $400000000.00 in military aid to 4 selenski to comply. at the same time several democratic candidates campaigned for votes in iowa and joe biden used the event to fire back at 12 vladimir putin don't want me to be president. and number 2. donald trump doesn't want me to be the nominee. spend a lot of money to make sure i'm not i'm flattered on capitol hill next week democrats once again will question trumpet ministration officials behind closed doors while some officials have already appeared others are refusing to show

up the latest energy secretary rick perry who says there was nothing wrong with trump's call to zelinsky yeah i want to present my own core because i thought it was important. if you raise which i do every thing to do is back to the point that the united states has the ability to give ukraine a alternative to russian yes legislators could issue a subpoena forcing perry to appear or risk being arrested and we will make america great. raising the ante and the pressure on a president who says he will fight what he calls illegal effort to undermine his rule rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington or let's say could look at how we got here it began in july with a phone call between president trump and ukrainian president vowed to me as a lenski

a whistleblower said used to call to pressure the craning government to investigate former vice president joe biden and his son a month later the wesel blower 5 a secret complaint to the office of the inspector general of the intelligence community for 6 weeks a chump administration try to block congress from obtaining that complaint in september the house of representatives speaker nancy pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry into tromp accusing him of a betrayal of his oath of office after weeks of testimonies behind closed doors the house approved a resolution on thursday to set the rules for public hearings. all right let's bring in our panel now in new jersey on skype richard good scene a political consultant for the democratic party and former advisor to president bill clinton in washington d.c. is jack kingston a republican party member and a former senior adviser to donald trump's 2016 presidential campaign and in

birmingham in the u.k. scott lucas a professor of political science and international studies at the university of birmingham welcome to you all gentlemen thank you for being on inside story richard goodstein let me start with you donald trump very combative he says his a victim part isn't but chant what is motivating democrats house members to move forward with this process is it politics or is it duty. imagine if president barack obama had told the saudis we will give you a lot of aid if you in the aid of hillary clinton's presidential campaign find dirt on donald trump and publicize it and we will not have a meeting saudis in the white house unless you get dirt on hillary clinton the republicans in congress would have gone ballistic they would have started impeachment proceedings the 1st time they heard about that but we're

talking about here that's exactly the situation that we have here president trump democrats talk about the a.b.c.'s of impeachment is the abuse of the office that's not something a president should do or is entitled to do under the law be as a betrayal of in this case an ally of the ukraine by basically holding a gun to their head rhetorical e and telling them there would not be aid there would not be a meeting in the oval office until they did what trump asked for and she is corruption this is blatantly a corrupt out so this is not politics if in fact the democrats didn't do this what would stop donald trump from saying to the chinese we will have a trade deal and in fact we'll make it beneficial to you but only as trump did say on the back lawn of the white house several weeks ago if you come up with dirt on joe biden or every other day you know that donald trump entered into would be

predicated on the foreign government digging up dirt on his political rivals message out that problems tend to respond jack your response republicans say the inquiry is on sat it's unconstitutional it's un-american what is wrong with this process in in your view well of course richard has not read the transcript by somewhat i just heard nothing that that was all very interesting but just like adam shift who in a official congressional hearing. made up a parody and said it was the transcript and only back then once he was caught in the lie richard has done the same thing none of that was in the transcript and i would say to your viewers just read the transcript all you have to do is google ukranian transcript and if any of that sin there maybe there is something to it but listen 3 prior impeachment hearings all have been bipartisan this one was not bipartisan except 2 democrats saw that it was so horrible that they voted with

republicans on it one of them was a senior democrat by the way the democrat deep staters cannot stand the fact that they lost the election in 201619 minutes into the trump president say the washington post said impeachment process will begin immediately and that's all they've done they struck out on jack let me just ask you. right here i hear you on this but let me just ask you briefly before i move on to notice what is wrong with this specific process that the republicans are complaining about they've been complaining that the hearings had been in private in secret so why didn't they vote yes on thursday in congress because some of the rules could now in fact help them under these rules president trump's would be able to bring witnesses to defend his case wouldn't. well actually the rules were drawn up by 9 democrats and 4 republicans so even that process was an even but there is not equal access to transcript release there's not equal crosses examination of witnesses there's not

the equal of billets a subpoena witnesses if you want to do it fairly and richard knows because he was a clinton guy we as a republican party gave president clinton 30 hours of testimony of ability to cross-examine and see is accusers we haven't even been able to taught to this c m a c a merrill the. suppose of whistleblower why don't we have access to him if it was a fair trial i think this thing would be dismissed in one way but the democrats have done it for $37.00 days in the capitol basement because they're ashamed of them sorry they leak out information on selectively to make the president look bad jack thank you for that allow you to respond richard in just a moment but i want to get scotus is using in burning him scott now because only the 4th time in u.s. history that the house formalize impeachment proceedings against a sitting president how does the case against compare to that of nixon and clinton

in terms of severity and also in terms of strength. i wanted to think 1st i don't deal in misinformation like we just heard i deal in facts and the facts as they have been brought out by more than a dozen current and former u.s. officials as well as by the transcript of the trump selenski phone call and other documents is that from last november donald trump and his personal attorney rudy giuliani kerio a campaign of pressure on ukrainian officials to open an investigation into presidential candidate joe biden the democratic party and an investigation to cover up russia's interference in 2016 those are the facts of the testimony that have been heard so far now if those facts are confirmed not only in the public hearings to come but in the trial they could constitute at the least of uses of power by donald trump in effect saying i don't care about u.s. foreign policy i want ukraine to do this for my personal gain in my reelection and

it could constitute a crime which is inviting a foreign government to come in and interfere in the u.s. election but scott nancy pelosi had been reluctant on an impeachment and it wasn't long ago that the democrats were questioning the politics and also how useful a vote by the one we saw on thursday would be given the large probability of the senate republicans would acquit trump if the house voted to impeach john so what's changed i mean. well nancy pelosi said it and then and she's right that what changed was the revelation not only of the trump selenski phone call but of the extent of this campaign over the past year to put pressure on ukraine to investigate biden and the democrats when that came out in september palosi begin to shift and of course we began to have the closed door hearings now let me correct another piece of misinformation from mr kingston these are not secret hearings these were hearings in which republicans as well as democrats wanted to know it and

says republic i'm sorry sorry jack public out there on those committee which are and they really will secondly sorry. no it is if they use any or i'm just saying things were said of a nation and allow you to respond after that go ahead scott ok you can repeat your you can repeat your misinformation in a minute show them by 1st republicans have been in there herring's 2nd secondly the process of hearing in the house is equivalent to a grand jury indictment in a grand jury you only have the presentation of evidence the point at which donald trump can cross-examine as jack is insisting comes up when you have the public hearings which are now to come in the house and when you have the trial if it occurs in the senate in other words this investigation has been carried out by the same rules as under the watergate hearings in 74 and as under the clinton hearings to try to sabotage the hearings the false narrative is put out that the democrats

are cheating all right jack your response and i think you're being silly scott is b. in philly i mean he's trying to have this real serious voices if that's going to make it true scott come on you say a half a dozen what is this number one those hearings are classified so how do you know they have more added tile and did you get it from a laker it will name 6 of them just go ahead rattle off say no to quickly because i provided probably stay one of the i don't want to jump in here perhaps. look. i think it's it speaks to how thin the defense of donald trump is that his defenders talk about the he says being she quit hearings when as scott says there were republican house members who were at every single one and a half and jury and their counsel had every opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses there it speaks a fact that they complained and complained claimed as your question pointed out

about the fact they were secret and then voted uniformly against the fact that the hearings would become public because they know i think what it would be evidence just so let me ask you do we have equal time that we have a we do not have equal time again and that is legal we do not have equal ability to subpoena witnesses you agree on that are those are facts if you want to talk about that republicans don't have the equal of the everything all of the really notices all right good time let's not so i don't know the composition of it forwards because they ask me i'm trying to question what is a gentlemanly jack kingston let me just ask you this what's going to be the republican strategy then moving forward some reports are suggesting that some republican some g.o.p. senators and now actually ready to acknowledge that there was a quid pro quo but auggie that that was legal and doesn't constitute impeachment how do you do that. well i don't know of any members of the senate who are that way

the media said the same thing about the house members that the house members were afraid and some house members are going to defect and vote with the radical socialist democrats that was not the case but here's what the american people do know the american people are fair they understand republicans will not have equal time to cross-examine they will not have equal time to bring our equal ability to bring in witnesses they won't be able to subpoena they won't have equal ability to release transcripts they also know that adam shifted during the miller investigation said repeatedly i have the goods i have the evidence evidence that shows that russia didn't kowloon with president trump well that counted dissipated and then we know that he lied the other day saying this is what the transcript said it did not say that we also know they were say and there's a whistleblower who apparently worked for both obama brennan and i guess biden.

he apparently was confident all of that is atrocious and. americans understand that americans understand fairness and the president isn't given and it's got lucas way to american stand on this recent poll shows that americans approve the impeachment investigation but i only a 3rd of the people who approve it say the inquiry should be a top priority for congress so what does that say about where the american public stands on this. well those were roughly the same percentage as when the watergate hearings began in 1904 so in other words i think instead of saying where the american people stand it's going to be a question of what comes out as evidence in the hearings and then we'll see how the american public reacts to the rest of us i think jack didn't answer your question about what the republican strategy is but he actually demonstrated quite effectively and that is instead of actually talking about the evidence it is to misrepresent and to try to trash for example the democrats as being liars and to trash the witnesses so for example we know who the person is who filed the formal

complaint he's a cia official who was working with the trouble white house for you on matters he did he did he did not work for biden and obama as a political appointment 3 well i think really the issue of obama the cia it was no he did not he's a hero to her democrat jack is a registered democrat i bet you agree with that fact he is a resident democrat you will agree to that right silence i say so the facts are those will blow a little bit here is that the whistle jack ok jack that i'm sorry there was i'm going back for the whistleblower was a see the whistleblower was an officially a what have you put out law is the red hot going amenities ok we're really your demo here we're not let's just agree let's is a drama about why not what we can expect then in the coming weeks please if we can reach a goodstein please come back into the conversation here because i feel like we're going around what can we expect and as

a democrat don't you fear rachid that this could all backfire in the lead up to 2020. yeah so i will expect would be. well we wanted 2 things either they were very civilized hearings. like we had around the watergate investigation where both sides are trying to get the facts out or we might have with all due respect republican efforts to to basically stop that from happening stopping happening in an orderly way to make sure that the public does not get wind of the facts and i think that's a question that remains to be answered as far as the political calculation look i think the fact is nancy pelosi has made a judgment we cannot let this happen people say well let's wait face donald trump at the polls if we let what happened go by what does stop him from reaching out to the saudis for the chinese or the russians again remember paul matter for lawyers

it that he met with russian spies to give them secret polling data what keeps that from happening again in late you know kind of violation of u.s. law and i would say that when george w. bush ran for president in 2000 he said the following phrase i will restore honor and dignity to the oval office if you said it once he said it a 1000 times which was a reference to what happened with bill clinton and george w. bush won with that message at a time when the economy was actually doing quite well so the notion that somehow this is going to backfire i would say today the public doesn't really know the evidence once this these hearings are done they will and it will not be very flattering to donald trump jack kingston your response and also can we expect the white house and the trumpet ministration to cooperate with these hearings so far they haven't done so well written well richard schutte know very very well that the 3 previous in pates minutes were done on

a bipartisan basis this is absolutely not republicans do not support this process because of the reasons that i've. already outlined 31 house members represent seats which donald trump one another 20 are so represent seats that used to be held by republicans this is about those 50 members they are in play if you do the poll and in those districts people do not support this impeachment they do not support the process what they do support is a strong economy and what they do want to show the democrats is health care reform they would like to have a trade agreement done they would like to see the democrats actually engage in the syrian policy and they're not seeing that in so many of these swing district democrats ran on a platform of i'm going to bring the 2 sides together i'm going to work to do things that are best for america not the democrat or the republican party and that and then see philosophy has stolen that narrative from him and richard knows

because democrats ran against us when we tried to impeach president clinton he was impeached but the senate dismissed that but we paid a political price for what i hear when i go to the house these days and talk to a lot of members and probably there for 5 days awake we're going to take back the house because the democrats have overplayed their hand on this at the cost of trying to get some things done on health care trade in the economy all right scott mcinnis in birmingham city want to fully yes all right got it one quick thing go ahead richard and then i'll give the final word time it was at that time that don't clip was impeached 33 percent of the public support impeachment that's why the republicans took a beating in the polls in 1900 today with each passing week more and more americans favor impeachment and even removal and it's now over majority so that's the big political difference between now and 1900. 80 year away from the election how does it play out heading into 2020 do you think be easier or more difficult now for the

democrat democrats to take the house. oh i you know that there are many factors which will come into that which aren't just the impeachment hearings but it will be for example the state of the u.s. economy it will be vital issues like health care like education that are being raised right now especially by the democratic presidential candidates i think the broader point is what richard raised earlier and that is elections are important but so is maintaining the american system so is maintaining the american constitution and if you don't have a system of accountability if you allow lies and misinformation to prevent a legal process to ensure accountability right of the damage goes well beyond donald trump and this this crash has certainly raised questions about scott lucas about the power of the u.s. presidency ed also the balance of power under the constitution what does that say about the future of american democracy. well it is

a fundamental question raised and it's a recurrent one but it has been elevated by the way that donald trump has bypassed courts by the way that he has bypass congress by the way that he has used media to try to replace discussion with insult and with let me be honest here deception sometimes laws and i think that again it's not just a trump issue a democrat research republican issue there is an issue of accountability about the executive the legislature and the courts and everyone's going to have to be involved in this whether or not trump wins a 2nd term or whether there's a democrat in the white house because right now the american system is in its most parlous state probably since 1905 and i don't be interesting to see what happens in the next few weeks of course gentlemen thank you very much for a very naively discussion richard goodstein jack kingston and scott nicholas thank you all for being on inside story and thank you for watching you can always watch this program again any time by visiting our website at al-jazeera dot com for
