25th amendment is off the table that isn't nothing is off the table but a modest reverberating among democrats and some republicans articles of impeachment have been drafted at are expected to be brought to the house of representatives on monday this as the nation's lord force wanted teligent creators he's worked to identify and detain the perpetrators more than 50 people have so far been arrested let's go live to washington officers gabler's on the is there for escape what's the latest on the plans to impeach the president. well looks like it's going to move forward in skin to move forward in the house of representatives because democrats particularly nancy pelosi and a wider group of lawmakers in washington definitely feel there needs to be some sort of answer to donald trump and some sort of punishment to donald trump directly for the rhetoric that he was talking about that led to those riots so many believe lead that he started essentially and fueled so the impeachment articles impeachment
2:03 am
likely are going to go to the house on monday nancy pelosi is working over the weekend to kind of finalize the wording on it and then there could be a vote on impeachment in the house as early as the middle of next week probably all they need is a simple majority in the house it seems like they will have that easily so the chance that donald trump is impeach next week is very high quite frankly it would then go to the senate and the senate would essentially have to then vote to remove donald trump from office and that's where it gets a little bit more complicated because you're only talking about 11 more days of trump in office they simply don't have a lot of time plus in the senate they would need 2 thirds of the senators to vote for that for him to be removed so the actual impeachment likely next week that's the path that they're on in terms of congress removing him from office that's going to probably

a little bit more difficult and might not happen before january 20th after having his twitter account permanently suspended the president is trying to circumvent that. he has he's tried to post elsewhere for example he tried to post on the potest twitter account that's p o t u s president of the united states account and twitter immediately deleted messages that donald trump posted there but did not close down the account completely why because that post account is actually a u.s. government to count and that account to be handed over to president elect joe biden on january 20th trump is also tried to tweet on one of his campaign twitter accounts team trumpets called and that as soon as he posted their twitter brought that entire account down completely removed it so he's basically lost his main
2:05 am
means of being able to communicate at least to via twitter and it seems that anywhere that he tries to post on twitter. the company is going to try to block that or or remove that so he's really in a tough spot there but twitter believes firmly that they need to do this because in their words his language that he uses in his tweets in the view of twitter could potentially incite more violence i was there as gabriel arizona reported live from washington gave many thanks indeed as we heard earlier there's been much discussion about invoking the 25th amendment to the constitution to remove president trump that amendment was added to the constitution in 1975 is the presidential line of succession and sense of a process fulfilling the vice presidency if the office becomes vacant but it also created a way to remove a sitting president if the vice president and a majority of the cabinet believe quote that the president is unable to discharge
2:06 am
the policy and duties of his office the vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president and the president can get his authority back by objecting in writing if the vice president and cabinet disagree then congress has 3 weeks to decide the issue the president gets his powers back unless 2 thirds of both the house and the senate agree to his removal. and speak to what christine policy is an attorney and democratic strategist she joins us now live via skype from a sensor is christine good to have you with us again what do you think should happen next trump isn't going to go cold the 25th amendment is unlikely to work an impeachment as we were hearing takes time why is it so important to democrats to pursue this impeachment avenue these important to the american people to pursue justice in this case the president incited violence in the middle of the peaceful

transfer of power the certification of the electoral college votes which had already been done state by state including in what we call swing states very close states by either republican secretaries of state or republican legislatures or republican governors so this was to be a more ceremonial experience on wednesday i've been there 3 different times because my mother's nancy pelosi speaker of the house i was there actually is a member of the clinton administration when gore had to hand it over to to bush i was there's a capitol hill staffer when bush bush's presidency was affirmed and i was there in 2009 when dick cheney had to read the results which transferred power to the democratic party to grok obama and joe biden so this is largely ceremonial there are times when people will object in order to preserve a quite and then introduce legislation about it as happened in the previous years
2:08 am
but this was something different this was a rally where people were told to go to the capitol to show strength. that they they were instructed by the president to not show weakness and as they were marching there and as they said they were going to storm the capitol for a revolution he and his attorneys were on the phone with senators trying to to delay so while we have our 5 people dead including the police officer we have staff that are traumatized property that's been damaged and the an insurrection an outward attempt to change that moment of the transfer of power and that is what needs to be pursued criminal charges are going to be pursued against. the mob a felony murder investigation is underway with respect to the death police officer capitol police officer killed in the line of duty hit by a fire extinguisher and as for the president and his conduct the president the congress has 3 choices they have impeachment which says this is
2:09 am
a high crime insurrection of the 25th amendment which as you describe was in car saying he's not able to carry out his duties they also have the 14th amendment which if you look at section 3 of the 14th amendment says that the congress can if somebody has participated in or abetted an insurrection they can be certain of their title and not allowed to run for office again what about the the the president would trump face any sort of legal action over this once he's left office can he be held accountable after january 21st even if he issues that of a self pop not if and if so by whom. well there's 2 things one if you step down and pens pardons him that's one thing he still has state charges but that would be one presumes a global federal party 2nd of all he would still be if he is if he is continuing to and cite lyall and then not only is he liable but so are people who produce his
2:10 am
platform that's why twitter felt they had to ban him and let me just say yes someone who's been an attorney for a long time dealt with a lot of restraining orders if you're not allowed to talk to me that also means you're not allowed to have your friends talk to me your spouse talk to me your business partner talk to me or anything else that's why he can't tweet from his account he also can't have other people tweeting for him that that violates the purpose the part of my twitter did that was because they don't want to be liable if they are allowing the publication of tweets that allow people to organize and then go out and kill people again so they're worried about themselves and him and his liability and it would still be out there also don't forget he has state charges to be concerned about in the state of new york and that attorney general has expressed an interest in prosecuting him pretty much the minute he leaves office interesting we were last words out of time here but i just want to ask you for your your thoughts very briefly if you can and it's this is such
2:11 am
a difficult question to be briefed on but how does the u.s. now deal radicalize its far right extremists. and will rights under the constitution can any attempts to do that. i think there are 3 things that we need to do 1st of all democrats actually after the tasso massacre where there's a person with a manifesto who said he was driving several states to go kill people in el paso because he wanted to go kill mexicans his words. because of what he heard from donald trump there were hearings that were done as it turns out there is work that you can do to diffuse white nationalism and and extremism those programs were defunded by donald trump i think they need to be revamped and. initiated i don't think that the answer to this is simply more surveillance because it's not that we don't know who these people are it's that white people don't see your other white people and saying this is a white person we should so i think what we have to do is to make sure and we are
2:12 am
clear that as far as employment and engagement people have to be committed to nonviolence and that's where you really have to draw the line peaceful protest is what america is all about violence is not and i think that we need much more education much more civics because you see part of why these people were so angry when they were banging on the doors for 2 hours and 45 minutes and my mother had staff people on a floor under a table for 2 and a half 2 hours and 45 minutes while people were screaming and banging on the door saying we know where you're in there we're going to come after you they honestly believe that if they were there and they did this disruption that they could change the outcome of the election that is a failure of civics but it's also a failure of people who told them that so we need to the answer is an education the answer isn't nonviolence the answer i think is not in more surveillance and it also
