they have to go to. >> sean: and he called them .ll out. pay more. we will never be the media mob. let not your heart be troubled. laura, how are you? >> laura: all i can say is if people are actually thinking about a career in the law or going to law school they might want to think twice after watching this thing today. oh, my gosh. >> sean: you were a lawyer. some people may not know, but i know. you have that background. you even went to dartmouth but you were a rabble-rouser and a troublemaker. >> laura: pam garlandus loved me. she was a professor at uva law school and i'm sure -- yeah. she was very popular but extremely left-wing and i think we saw that on display. did a great job analyzing it all. >> sean: great job attacking the kid. i wonder if sanford is going to have a rebuke for her. >> laura: now, standing

ovation for her. great show, hannity. thanks so much. i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. the democrats thought that this spectacle was going to i help? our legal eagles will be here in a moment to break it all down, just how damaging it was for the democrats today, and ed henry has new reporting about potential cracks forming in odpelosi's caucus. also tonight, i think he is one of only two sitting congressman who was front and center in the last impeachment of a president. he is here to sound the alarm over the current sham proceedings. plus, raymond arroyo will reveal how the style of today's witnesses could actually hurt their arguments. and the media attacks melania's wardrobe. all that in seen and unseen. but first, you know it's over when... that is the focus of tonight's "angle." okay, i was just saying to hannity, if you or anyone you

love is thinking of applying too law school, you must be having major second thoughts today. three professors prattled on about how trump must be impeached 11 months before an election. their delivery was alternatively angry, dismissive, and tedious. despite the wall-to-wall coverage and relentless height by the democrats, today's soporific symposium cratered ani hope that they are going to coax americans into supporting impeachment. here are the top five reasons you know it's over. first, today's legal experts tried to pass off as fact flimsy theories and unsupported inferences, and they use those theories and inferences to conclude that the president should basically be removed from office. >> the phone call itself of july 25th is extraordinarily clear to my mind, in that we hear the president asking for a favor that is clearly a personal benefit, rather than acting on

behalf of the interest of the nation. >> acting on his own personal benefit and not for the benefit of the country. >> he invited the russians, are longtime adversaries come into the process the last time around because he has invited the ukrainians into the process and because he suggested he would like the chinese to come into the process. c >> laura: into the process. stanford law grads should demand refunds for any class taught by karlan. without cooperating evidence. an equally plausible motive could be that president trump has every right to know whether ukraine meddled in the last election, and it's for that theory that the president somehow was trying to personally benefit from his dealings with zelensky. joe biden wasn't and still is into trump's politicalng opponet in the next election. he is one of several. so how can they so definitively claimed that this is president trump's guiding, sole

motivation? answer, they cannot. second, you know it's over when 3 out of 4 legal eagles were trump-hating partisans. basically elizabeth warren gave $1,000 to her last summer and trump's rapid response brought this up when she admitted she was triggered by the mere sight of the trump hotel building in washington. >> i got off the bus and i walked up to the hotel and as i was walking past what used to be the old bus office building and is now the trump hotel, which, i had to cross the street of course. [laughter] >> are you just saying that? >> god no. >> laura: triggered, as she was in the obama doj as well. from unc law school, he wants media efforts for al gore.

he also worked for the bill clinton presidential transition team in the 1990s. a professor at harvard law school has been arguing for impeaching trump for years. he even once speculated that trump could be impeached over a tweet that he sent claiming obama had wiretapped his campaign. but beyond their bias, there was a nasty, bitter undercurrent that bubbled to the surface again from professor karlan. >> while the president can name his son baron, he can't make him a baron. >> laura: she later apologized but still couldn't resist taking a jab in her apology at the president.te now, contrast those partisans with the g.o.p. witness. professor jonathan turley. he is not a trump supporter, he voted for clinton and obama. but that made his methodical takedown of the impeachment sham all the more convincing.

the record does not establish obstruction in this case. if you accept all of their presumptions, it would be obstruction. to impeach a president on this record would expose every future president to the same type of impeachment. if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. it's your abuse of power. >> laura: you know it's over when even the democrats' press are admitting this thing is a hard sell. >> the notion of having four academics in the broader goal that democrats have to pull the public along on the idea of impeachment, that can't be changing. >> laura: you know it's over when the democrats were hoping to invoke the founders. >> the founding father said, shall any man be above justice

and alexander hamilton rode that high crimes and misdemeanors mean the abuse or violation of some public trust. >> john adams once rode to thomas jefferson. >> james madison said that impeachment was needed. >> he got a whole musical and we are just going to get this committee hearing. >> laura: are you just devastated that obama didn't pug her on the supreme court? you've heard of school of rock, right? will they were starting in law school of crock. >> i don't think we have any idea what they would think. >> if you are going to make a case to george washington that you could impeach over a conversation he had with another head of state, i expect his powdered hair would catch on fire. it's a form of necromancy that academics do all the time. >> laura: nice use of the word necromancy. you know it's over when democrats, after all of their

outlandish claims, still won't say how or even if they will vote. >> i'm going to reserve any kind of mode of public judgment. >> i'm going to reserve judgment. >> no decision has been made as to whether or not we go forward with impeachment. >> laura: maybe they are lying, i don't know. but a better explanation is that they want to give themselves an outcome or perhaps some wiggle room. got to see what those latest polls are looking like. they say the founders but what they are really relying on is focus groups. this thing has gone south and they all know it. but this has been a great 24 hours for trump and yesterday he was dominating agenda over at the nato summit, pushing for more member donations to pay their fair share. we all love that. last night he was mocked by elites in london. today he was mocked by academic elites on capitol hill. chalk up another win for the white house.

is there anyway we can get that lady from sanford to come back and lecture us some more tomorrow? and that is "the angle." joining me now our legal power panel, former whitewater deputy independent counsel. harmeet dhillon, former student of pam karlan and trump 2020 advisor and attorney, constitutional scholar, senior fellow at the claremont institute. john eatmon. they are a bit has a lousy on the panel, the three democrat lawyers, the law professors are all friends. they were kind of citing each other, i agree with pam. did the democrats help themselves today? >> no, i don't think so. i think it was a really bad mistake, first of all, to have three against one because turley is very good. he's been doing this a long time. >> laura: he is a liberal, that is why he is really good. a liberal is actually standing up for the constitution.

>> and old-fashioned liberal and he is very quotable. and youy know, the fact that there was only one. they only let republicans have one person, particularly at the beginning, when the scholars were being questioned for 45 minutes. the other three, aside from the substance of what they were saying, they were getting broken down. they each had a certain amount of time, w whereas turley, who s very articulate, was just allowed to talk on and on and on and he made a tremendous amount of sense, so i think he, definitely got the better of them. >> laura: i mean being mocked by justin trudeau yesterday in london, most people, that is great for trump. they've been trashing american presidents forever and now he is being mocked by the academic elite. how does that fly in all these battleground states? how is that going to play? >> think the president thrives on it, first of all. that is his superpower and i think you are absolutely right.

middle america, normal people dp not count out and love what these foreign leaders are saying, disrespecting our president is really going to backfire on them. i and many americans love that he is demanding accountability from these wealthy foreign powers who are refusing to pay their fair share. >> laura: in the beginning of that phone call with zelensky, which gets overlooked, they were talking about the missiles and he said, these countries have got to pony up some more money. obviously much more close than the proximity of the slunited states. one democratic witness today compared trump to a king, that tired old analogy. can you imagine it wasn't in a complementary way? watch. >> when the president asked for a favor he was using the royal we. it wasn't asking for a favor the united states. he should've said, do me a favor. only kings say "us" when they mean "me."

>> laura: by the way, she seems extremely angry all the time. angry, bitter, angry, angry, bitter. >> if hillary had one make the election. she might've been on the supreme court, who knows. this is almost as bad as a ridiculous comment about barron trump.lo the president's statement was due us a favor because our country has been through a lot lately and ukraine know something about it. we would like to get to the bottom of that. that has nothing to do with the royal we or anything else. maybe she didn't read the whole transcript. it's short. they are coming in with such a bias and an animosity and venom against the president that they can't even think straight. i was invited to be a witness by the republicans several weeks ago and it got blocked. i'm glad they went with jonathan turley because he's been the democrat go to guy for decades.

i testified with him at a senate intelligence committee hearing back in the bush administration. he was on the opposite side of me. he did a tremendous job just kind of analyzing the legal analysis without the political bias in this thing. kudos to him. >> laura: i want to say something now, this is also from karlan and we are going to skip forward. excuse me to my producers she was asked about the timing they are not expecting. of all of this, and if it's so important, why the rush question require they rushing this to say you had academic witnesses today. and she basically waved off any concern about rushing because of next year's election. watch. >> i think the evidence to this point shows that the per -- president is soliciting foreign involvement in our election, you need to act now to prevent foreign interference in the next election like the one we had in the past. >> laura: it's urgent. must act because apparently

ukraine and russia and china are all now helping trump. >> this is one of the real problems they have, which i thought turley did a really good job with this. the rush. you know, they don't even know, they haven't even written the articles of impeachment yet. the intelligence committee report that all of these three professors had read it was not even prepared 24 hours before n the testimony. that is just unheard of and i just think it hurts them and they don't have a good explanation. >> laura: ap reporting tonight that although no date has been set, the democrats are hoping for a christmas time on removing the 45th president. that is going to go over well as people are stocking stuffings, coal, by the way. is a stark partisan undertaking. a situation pelosi had hoped to avoid but now seems inevitable. by the way, they are throwing in robert mueller. they might throw him in the mix as well. they must've watched my impeachment angle last night.

>> this is desperation. they don't have enough of anybody or even put together enough. and the desperation shows. i can say in a real court these people would not be allowed to testify even as expert witnesses. no knowledge, we don't know what the factsed are, unable to get beyond the law, and it really shows. interrelated the right thing, which is stepping back from their myopic vision and what harm they are doing to the constitution because these are the new rules that are going to happen to every future president. >> and more importantly, turley says and i agree, this is not a perfect phone call to him. he is disturbed by the phone call, as i am, too. but guess what? >> laura: i am not disturbed by it in the slightest. >> i know you are not, but i am. on the point is people can disagree about that and still

realize that you can't impeach a president of the united states a year before the election based onen this. >> they can vote him out if they don't like it. >> laura: 11 months from now. as i mentioned just a few moments ago, nadler laid the groundwork. you listen closely, for resurrecting. people are going to think this is just ridiculous. like a fantasy. the mueller report from the grave. watch. >> president trump welcomed foreign interference in the 2016 election. he demanded it for the 2020 election. on july 24th, the special counsel testified before this committee. he implored us to see the nature of the threat to our country. >> laura: adam schiff said this investigation is ongoing, by the way. over in the house intel, so this may be a rolling investigation. maybe they will keep it rolling, maybe not christmastime. kick it over to the new year and see how that works out for them.

>> maybe we ought to look at adam schiff actually digging out the phone record on john solomon. this is an extraordinary violation of constitutional rights that adam schiff has now admitted to. onjerry nadler and professor karlan made this point, and it's a laughingstock point. that trump invited russian hacking when he said hillary destroyed the emails on her private server. maybe we should ask the russians for them. the notion -- they are making this into the big lie that he somehow invited the russian hacking, which is utter tnonsense. he was making a laughable joke about hillary keeping emails on a private server that every ghgovernment of the world had access to because it was unsecured. it would be laughable if it wasn't so deadly serious, and what they are doing, undermining this country. the president is over at a nato meeting and they are pulling this crap. this is stunning to me.

>> laura: i will say it again, any time the president of the united states can be mocked the way he was by academic elites. he looks like he is right out of nicholas nickleby from 1997. -- 1947. one is angry and the other one is flat and boring. ini think people are watching ts and going, how are the patriots doing? what is going on with the saints game? >> the appearance of this, they did themselves no favors, politically. setting aside the content, who wants to hear professors prattle on? >> laura: what i love is they are always undermining the framers, the founders. as old dead white guys. then today, as george washington said in his farewell address. >> they were all originalistsas today, so that was refreshing. but ideology aside, the utter stupidity ofin bringing barron trump in is just mind-boggling to me. >> let me tell you, that is who she is. that was a planned and

choreographed line. that was a set up question, she knew she was going to say it. n,she got applause. absolutely. >> she rehearsed it from the stanford law faculty room. >> laura: exactly. thank you very much. a real legal eagles. two key testimonies that could've heard the democrats. a member of the judiciary committee, and a member of the clinton impeachment is here to respond. and cracks are performing over pelosi's impeachment and henry says yes, he is here with exclusive reporting next. >> tech: so you think this chip is nothing to worry about?

"the washington post" is

reporting that the caucus erupted in shouts of yea approval when she said this. but our moderate democrats really on board? bujoining me now with exclusive insight, fox news chief national correspondent ed henry, host of "america's news headquarters with ed henry." >> laura, good to see you. what are you hearing from your resources tonight? >> i talked to several senior republicans and they told me that they think this hearing went so poorly for the majority. the g.o.p. leaders are hopeful they are going to get even more democrats voting no on articles of impeachment beyond the two democrats who voted no on opening this inquiry last month. the only two democrats to break with their party and vote no, remember, tom peterson of minnesota, jeff andrew of new jersey. he told minnesota public radioio at the time what i've said all along is that you can't do this with one party. it's not smart, it's not going to work.

i think if this is handled incorrectly it will reelect trump. that's what i think. republicans tonight including jim jordan, who i spoke to a few moments ago, think even more trump leaning democrats will agree with that sentiment and vote against articles because jerry nadleril today opened the door to drafting a least one article of impeachment based on the mueller report. that article would be based on obstruction of justice charges that were never proven. remember, mueller decided not to make a recommendation one way or another. he also raised questions about the legitimacy of the probe by noting how quickly democrats are rushing through it. bopeter baker of "the new york times" noted today that the house impeach president bill clinton 101 days after receiving the starr report. we are now just 71 days after >> nancy pelosi opened up the inquiry. it's likely to go faster than sithe clinton inquiry. interesting that even some of the mainstream media are raising questions about the fairness of

this. major keratin of cbs news said, three of the four witnesses being so strongly anti-trump, then the democrats largely skipping him over, he says it something that may stick with independent voters, wondering why democrats decided to stack the witness table. that if they are so sure of their narrative, so sure that they haveab the president on impeachment, they would be willing to test it before dissenting voices. instead it seems like democrats are sticking to the narrative. >> laura: fascinating. i did look like a bit of a pig pile, three against one. people will always like the underdog but he came across very incredible, i thought. good to see you. there was an important moment involving g.o.p. witness jonathan turley that did expose how impeachment norms were recognized during past inquiries have been completely abandoned. he made a distinction between this impeachment effort and those involving nixon and clinton.

>> those were not just proven crimes, they were accepted crimes. even the democrats on the judiciary committee agreed that bill clinton had committed perjury. in the case of nixon, the crimes twere established. nobody seriously disagreed with those crimes. >> laura: joining me now, he also served as house impeachment manager, i remember this well because i was interviewing him then when i was on another network. during all of that, all of those shenanigans back then. congressman, you are one of the few sane members of congress that can speak for the left. what are your thoughts on what we saw today? >> it was a farce and a sham. democrats keep redefining what a high crime and misdemeanor is. it all started with president zelensky. the quote, "can you do me a

favor?" that has now become abuse of power, asking someone to give you a favor. you compare that with a nixon impeachment and clinton impeachment where there were actual crimes being alleged, and both kenneth starr and the independent counsel in the nixon impeachment outlined what crimes there were. donald trump has committed no crime and they want to impeachment him because he asked zelensky to do him a favor, what a joke. >>o laura: pam carter, professor ofof one of the top lw schools in the united states made this comment about abuse of power. watch. >> drawing of a foreign government into our election is an especially serious abuse of power because it undermines democracy itself. >> undoing an election year before the next election undoes democracy. 63 millionex people voted for

donald trump. he was duly elected. and thisas cabal, which influend jerry nadler and schiff, right from the time trump put his hand off the bible and gave his speech, they said impeachmentrr starts now. the lawyer for the so-called whistleblower called it a coup. democracies don't have coups, and i think we are protecting democracy by saying, hey, high crime and misdemeanor has got to mean something,in rather than ts moving target based on focus groups that the democrats are using. >> laura: she keeps saying that the president was drawing foreign powers into the u.s. election. at one point, as i played on "the angle," she is referencing the chinese, the russians and the ukrainians. to draw foreign interference, into america that is a classic definition of abuse of power. >> i don't think the president

was doing that. with ukraine we have an assistance treaty. and joseph biden, when he was bragging about the fact that he held up a billion dollars, they fired the prosecutor within six hours. he was doing something that was more abusive when he was vice president than donald trump has ever been alleged to. now, if ukraine has evidence of any violation of law by a u.s. citizen, they are to cooperate with us and vice versa. it's not just getting the prosecutor fire. there are questions about corrupt practices act -- >> laura: apparently the democrats want to throw all that out the window. foreign countries, regardless of corruption, despite the fact that fiona hill was supposed to be the be-all, end-all of stopping corruption in a foreign country. that is what it is amazing, if

you are running for office in a future presidential election and you do something that is perhaps not kosher when you were vice president, then you can never be investigated. apparently you can never have questions asked. full immunity. that is what is amazing to me. >> it is amazing and if joe biden were not running for president he better lawyer up because i think he would be in big trouble. >> laura: a clerk for thomas, that isrk my little, in my view, better justice but he was up there saying that the fact that the white house would not turn over a single document or email or text message or appear demonstrates obstruction of congress, obstruction of justice that is very, very serious. let's watch. >> a president who says, as this president did say, i will not cooperate in any way, shape, or form with your process robs a coordinate branch of government, robs the house of representatives of its basic

constitutional power of impeachment. >> why should anybody turn over documents to a group of people that have wanted from day one to kick you out of office and reverse with the voters decided in 2016. there are lots of privilege, lots of executive privilege involved in that. >> laura: did you hear it says it robs you and the house of your constitutional prerogative. >> theou president has constitutional prerogatives, too. jerry nadler and adam schiff really don't care about them. >> laura: when i watch this today it reminded me of why law school should've been like like, one year. you had to sit there and be lectured by people, what was it like in the room? >> will it was like in the room -- >> jerry nadler was dozing off and we caught him on camera.

>> this was like an eight and a half hour law school lecture. i graduated from law school over 50 years ago and was admitted to the wisconsin bar. i do not expect going to congress would send me back to law school. i went to law school today, and at leastxp the three democrat witnesses simplified everything on major constitutional issues. >> laura: do you think there is buyers remorse from some of the moderate democrats? you probably speak across thee partisan file l every now and tn with them. what is your sense? >> there sure is buyers remorse because the 31 democrats who represent districts that trump carried in the 2016 election think that because nancy pelosi is leadingru them off a cliff tt they arere going to be the ones that are not going to be reelected because i think that the defining issue in the 2020 election is the overreach that pelosi and schiff, and jerry nadler dead on

warned them a long time ago on my show and elsewhere, it is inherently cannibalistic. it eats itself and you are seeing it now. you're seeing the implosion in hollywood, you see democrats now attack each other because he didn't have either a black, and asian, or a hispanic. a law professor who was as snobby as the white professor. this is absurd, it is a total disaster for the democrats. >> laura: this is major garrett on cbs talking about what the candidates are finding and what they are finding going outki into middle america, askig what voters care about. watch. >> polling in the campaign that shows when they present this question to independents who are not even aligned with president trump, would you rather have congress working on things you care about or impeachment, and the are very strong. get back to work. >> laura: get back to work. any concerns they are that this may be one big, huge backfire?

speak of the house has passed h 400 bills, including 250 or so that were bipartisan bills, sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk. if anyone can get back to work it is mitch mcconnell and the senate, who are just the graveyard to the legislation that the house of representatives, in a bipartisan fashion, has passed, so i agree, the senate should get to work right now. >> laura: so you are fine with u.s. nca being stalled out. you are fine with that. pelosi used to be for that but you are fine with that. by the way, the senate is back to work. they confirmed four new federal judges today. >> that is all they do. t that isal all they do, whatever they want him to do. the federal society of the senate. >> laura: our white house counsel is better at it than your whitete house counsel was d that is why they are dominating. on the federal court.
