that been focused on it then i think we've succeeded in not doing damage but it's that been focused on it then i think we've succeeded in not doing damage but it's not a good process it's not good for the country more or less it's not a good process it's not good for the country more or less so to further divides us and i would caution the demagogue further divides us and i would caution the democrats in the house to be careful what you wrought because if you look back kratz in the house be careful what you wrought because if you look back when the republicans voted to impeach bill clinton in the house when the republicans voted to impeach bill clinton in the house and it came over the senate we had the trial the house and a sort of historic and it came over the senate we had the trial the house and the sort of historic. change lost seats the house republicans also see.

change lost seats the house republicans all seats so you know it's you've got to be very careful how you proceed on this the so you know it's you've got to be very careful how you proceed on this the best way if you want to move a president is golden election but also best way if you want to be the president is called an election but also there are good lawyers i'm sure and partisans on both sides of the aisle they're good lawyers i'm sure and partisans on both sides of the hour all that bill like you know there are things here that need to be looked into the question is hide that bill like you know there are things here that need to be looked into the question is how do you do it and what is the in result going to be in terms of you know the country itself it really what bothers me is that the congress says no you do it and what is the in result going to be in terms of you

know the country itself it really bothers me is that the congress is not doing anything now they're not doing anything about immigration reform in this country they're not doing is they're not doing anything now they're not doing anything about immigration reform in this country they're not doing anything about infrastructure one good thing about what we went through with clinton is we about infrastructure one good thing about what we went through with clinton is we right up until we began the trial and i made a day after we went right back allegedly right up until we began the trial and i made it a day after we went right back to legislating now they the house can do that because only one committee. now they the house can do that because only one committee normally the judiciary committee would be meeting but once it gets to the senate if you have a full normally the judiciary committee would be meeting but once it gets to the senate if you have a full blown senate trial every senator must be at his or her desk and they've.

bone senate trial every senator must be at his or her desk and i spend every day every afternoon from 12 to 6 usually will also spend every day every afternoon from 12 to 6 usually will also titter sitting there so that the other legislative better business stops literature sitting there so that the other legislator better business stops on the impeachment process how has nancy pelosi in your opinion on the impeachment process how has nancy pelosi in your opinion handled it to this moment. well let me point out handle it to this moment. well let me point out that as you noted in the intro i did serve on the judiciary committee when i was the 1st at as you noted in the intro i did serve on the judiciary committee when i was a 1st term congressman way back in 1973 and 74 so i saw it 1st hand of course term

congressman way back in 1973 in 74 so i saw it firsthand up close what is supposed to happen in the judiciary committee in the house most what is supposed to happen in the judiciary committee in the house which i served on and which peter rodino from new jersey chaired. which i served on and which peter rodino from new jersey chaired it was sort of done by the book and of course i also was majority leader when we had the it was sort of done by the book and of course i also was majority leader when we had the impeachment trial of william jefferson clinton a trial that i knew from the beginning as impeachment trial of william jefferson clinton a trial that i knew from the beginning as an old whip office holder and counter i knew how to count the votes and old whip officeholder and counter i knew how to count the votes i could not see how we were going to get the votes to remove

president clinton from office i could not see how we were going to get the votes to remove president clinton from office so the challenge for me and for the democratic leader tom daschle was how do i say so the challenge for me and for the democratic leader tom daschle was how do we set this up in a way that the people felt like we did our job we did it thoroughly we went that the ship in a way that the people felt like we did our job we did it thoroughly we went through the process we had depositions we had debate we discussed it the chief give the process we had depositions we had debate we discussed it the chief justice presided but at the end of the day when that vote occurred it was all we're and thus it's presided but at the end of the day when the vote occurred. heard it was all were and were able to move on and do other things for the country now that's a real challenge and we're about we're able to move on and do other things for the country now that's a real challenge and we're about to have to test that speaker pelosi has been

careful that's one reason why to have to test that speaker pelosi has been careful and that's one reason why the house has not yet voted for the more traditional resolution that would begin now the house has not yet voted for the more traditional resolution that would begin the impeachment proceedings in the judiciary committee and that's where i believe risen the impeachment proceedings in the judiciary committee and that's where i believe resides so while she's taken some criticism for not doing it adds so while she's taken some criticism for not doing it that way by republicans i think it's cause she's waiting to see a little bit that way by republicans i think it's cause she's waiting to see a little bit how this plays out what the evidence was the mother reported not how this plays out what the evidence was the mother reported not come forward with the

type of information that people say can pay for what might have wanted so homeboy would with the type of mental mation that people say can pay for what might have wanted so she's you know sort of taken the time i guess the answer will be when she say she has the boat she's you know sort of taken the time i guess the answer will be when she say she has the boats and the time is ready and the house as best she can determine it she will proceed in the time is ready and the house as best she can determine it she will proceed but she's an old experienced hand you know you cannot underestimate speaker pelosi but she's an old experienced hand you know you cannot underestimate speaker pelosi did the sounding fatah's make a mistake saying did he. founding fathers make a mistake when they call it high crimes and misdemeanors. when they call it high crimes and misdemeanors do we understand that i don't

think we really do do we understand that. i don't think we really do and perhaps it's in the mind of the holder or it depends on how a person will and perhaps it's in the mind of the holder or it depends on how a person will define it but the constitution itself is very limited in what will define it but the constitution itself is very limited in what it says about impeachment but if you go back and read the federalist papers with their guard to impeachment that says about impeachment but if you go back and read the federalist papers with their guard to impeachment alexander hamilton and madison had some very clear thoughts about why that might be no alexander hamilton and madison had some very clear thoughts about why that might be necessary and how it should be done they were very specific but for instance this area and how it should be done they were very specific but for instance i don't know how they would have defined

misdemeanors but i'm under the impressions i don't know how they would have defined misdemeanors but i'm under the impression that mr meter in their mind was a more serious charge then we entered that mr meter in their mind was a more serious charge then we interpret it today misdemeanor today as a a minor criminal by a letter but it today misdemeanor today as a a minor criminal violation or maybe even you know is it a distilling something wrong station or maybe even you know is it a distilling something wrong so i think they thought it was more serious than it now is interpreted so i think they thought it was more serious than it now is interpreted so they thought of it as something more than high crimes and not to serious crime so they thought of it as something more than high crimes and not too serious crimes they thought of both of them as

a pretty serious matter and that that's the thing you have they thought of both of them as a pretty serious matter and that that's the thing you have to prove and it's quite often very hard to prove is proven is quite often very hard to prove is lying to a grand jury. a crime it is certainly going to grand jury. a crime it is certainly more than a misdemeanor or is obstruction of justice. more than a misdemeanor or is obstruction of justice crime in my mind it could be and that was the conclude crime in my mind it could be and that was the conclusion i basically came to with regard to president nixon and there was the smoking bush and i basically came to with regard to president nixon and there was the smoking gun the actual tape of him giving instructions that could gun the

actual tape of him giving instructions that could certainly be interpreted as instructed of justice speaking and that we now have an actual phone call between an american president and a song to certainly be interpreted as instructions of justice speaking and that we now have an actual phone call between an american president and a thong 10 tree 3 to 4 different occasions now others have backed up that call tree 3 to 4 different occasions now others have backed up that call asking him this foreign country to investigate a poll asking him this foreign country to investigate a political rival. as in that disturb you well if it was all rival. as in that disturb you well it it disturbs me is

a lot of things disturb me about that number one you disturbs me is a lot of things disturb me about that number one you know looking at it from the presidency standpoint i don't stand while these people really know looking at it from the presidency standpoint i don't stand while these people were listening in a conversation or while there were all these recordings we would think presidents when in a conversation. while there were all these recordings we would think presidents would have learned for president nixon recording what goes on roll in the oval office and not a great idea would have learned from president nixon recording what goes on roll in the oval office and not a great idea secondly to be talking to the leader of another country about invest secondly to be talking to the leader of another country about investigating corruption or investigating a person could be a political getting corruption or investigating a person could be a political opponent. that is disturbing but i think for equal opponent

then that is disturbing but i think for it to be something beyond that there would have to be a clear quid pro quo way for it to be something beyond that there would have to be a clear quid pro quo if you don't do this we're not going to do that or vice versa but it's an error if you don't do this we're not going to do that or vice versa but it's an area that is being looked into then the question is has it been libya that is being looked into then the question is has it been looked into and a proper way and that's one thing i always appreciated about that looked into and a proper way and that's one thing i always appreciated about the judiciary committee when i was a freshman powers member 32 years old sitting on that committee the judiciary committee when i was a freshman house member 32 years old sitting on that committee peter rodino the

chairman was very fair in the way he way allowed republican peter rodino the chairman was very fair in a well he way allowed republicans to ask questions to have witnesses i'm selves and to ask questions to have witnesses i'm selves and and for me personally he'll allow me to engage in the debate and for me personally he. he allowed me to engage in the debate against one of the articles and sleep page one which we did defeat against one of the articles and sleep page one which we did defeat so how you do something like this is almost as important so how you do something like this is almost as important as what do you do you need to do it carefully and by the book what do you do you need to do it carefully and by the book and make

sure that it well for instance when i 1st met with my report and make sure that i well for instance when i 1st met with my republican conference about how to proceed on the clinton matter i had a process of malbec and conference about how to proceed on the clinton matter i had a process of mine that would have been concluded in about 2 weeks without any depositions or witnesses around that would have been concluded in about 2 weeks without any depositions or witnesses i mean things like that my own republican conference pushed back said oh no you know what you mean things like that my own republican conference push back said oh no you know what you're doing you're trying to short circuit this and we need to do this by the book we're doing you're trying to short circuit this and we need to do this by the book we need to have the full hearings we need to have senators in the seats the chief justice sitting there we need to have the full hearings we need to have senators in the seats the chief justice sitting there we need to take depositions we need to have formal questions

and so we need to take depositions we need to have formal questions and so i revised how we were going to do it and it wound up taking about a month but at the end i revised how we were going to do it and it wound up taking about a month but at the end of that month most people whether they agreed or disagreed with the final rose end of that month most. people whether they agreed or disagreed with the final result felt like it was done properly as required by the constitution zulkey felt like it was done properly as required by the constitution you voted for guilty right i did vote for the 2 you voted for guilty right i did vote for the 2 articles of impeachment one interesting thing about that i did that on a friday articles of impeachment one interesting thing about that did that on a friday tom daschle and i shook hands in the center island and agreed

a tom daschle and i shook hands in the center island and agreed that we had done the job the best we could and i fair and bipartisan that we had done the job the best we could and i fair and bipartisan way a week later actually following thursday i got a call from president way a week later actually following thursday i got a call from president clinton clinton he went and thought he'd be what about thought a bill about it what a big bill and what i can to and been embroiled in fact i never have been able to recall exactly what it was but he wanted me to see if we could move this bill along through that i've been able to recall exactly what it was but he wanted me to see if we could move this bill along through the process he didn't mention how i had voted he didn't even mention the impeachment trial process he didn't mention how i had voted he didn't even mention the impeachment trial we just went on with our

business and in the next few years did several good just went on with our business and in the next few years did several good things for the country working together you've got to have that when the senate good things for the country working together you've got to have that when the senate gets this to trial the 16 chief justices this and sign taiwan now this scene chief justice conducts the trial. can you honestly say that every cell of the senate is you. took the can you honestly say that every cent of the senators you knew took this seriously and voted their conscience absolutely is seriously and voted their conscience absolutely and we did a lot of things that were were different for instance we couldn't decide really how to predict and we did a lot of things that were were different for instance we couldn't decide really how to proceed. so so i finally kind of came up with that idea of ok

we'll all go gold will meet in the in the old city senate chamber number no staff of staff no press no press just senators s. just us and i asked the manager. and i asked danny akaka from hawaii to open a session with god it was a prayer that hopefully we would be from hawaii to open a session with god it was a prayer that hopefully we would be led to do the right thing in that meeting and i called on senator byrd who was led to do the right thing in that meeting and i called on senator byrd who was sort of the historian of the senate to give us a brief tutorial on what the constitution requote of the historian of the senate to give us a brief tutorial on what the constitution required and then we opened up a discussion and to our surprise senator graham hard and then we opened up a discussion and to our surprise senator gramm of texas spoke a conservative republican followed by senator ted what texas spoke

a conservative republican followed by senator ted kennedy of massachusetts and as i listened to him it sounded like they were saying the same kennedy of massachusetts and as i listen to him it sounded like they were saying the same thing and so we came together and said ok we're going to go forward with the grain thing and so we came together and said ok we're going to go forward with the graham kennedy proposal tom daschle asked me later did i really know for sure i'm kinda day proposal tom daschle asked me later did i really know for sure what we'd agreed to and i told him no but we had agreed and so i suggested what we'd agreed to and i told him no but we had agreed and so i suggested said tom look i think we have a an idea what want to do here but you say in a couple of years i said tom look i think we have a an idea of what will to do here but you send a couple of your senators and house and a couple of mine and they'll write. it up and we can then go forward it so he sent

to senators and house and a couple of mine and they will write it up and we can then go forward it so he said ted kennedy and joe lieberman and i sent failed graham and slade gorton of washington state they came up with kennedy and joe lieberman and i sent failed graham and slade gorton of washington state they came up with a proposal and we moved forward together and their proposal and we moved forward together and the debate was it was really i thought thoughtful and would abate was it was really i thought thoughtful and one of the things that we did to try to make sure we understood each other at night one of the things that we did to try to make sure we understood each other at night after being in session from like $12.00 to $6.00 we would go into session at night close satiate after being in session from like 12 to 6 we would go into session at night close i should no press just senators talking to each other with

a free give and take you can't no press just senators talking to each other with a free give and take you can't believe that the difference in the tenor and the how honest they were some believe that the difference in the tenor and the how honest they were some tears senators in tears about the decision they were faced with a chance to hear senators in tears about the decision they were faced with 10 stay right there we'll be right back with trent lott and more politicking right after this break stay right there we'll be right back with trent lott and more politicking right after this break.

up about the politicking we're talking. about the politicking we're talking trash from the u.s. senate republican of mississippi he is in front of us senate republican of mississippi he is in washington d.c. this discussed some other areas over the weekend the washington d.c. those discussed some other areas over the weekend the president dramatically

announced the killing of isis leo abobo president dramatically announced the killing of isis leo abo bothwell baghdadi what's the significance of that development. baghdadi what's the significance of that development. well i think it is significant 1st of all the great credit goes to well i think it is significant 1st of all the great credit goes to our men and women our special forces that were involved in this and to our men and women our special forces that were involved in this and apparently even a german shepherd dog was a hero in this occasion so i think we apparently even a german shepherd dog was a hero in this occasion so i think we should 1st thank the people that put their lives on the line to take out one of them should 1st thank the people that put their lives on the line to take out one of the most feared and dreaded terrorist

leaders in the world and most feared and dreaded terrorist leaders in the world and so isis will have to really organize i guess and so isis will have to really organize i guess to see who is going to be there their leader to take his place but. to see who's going to be there their leader to take his place but it was significant and it's like in the past when we were able to take out there was significant and it's like in the past when we were able to take out other leaders of terrorist groups when it was announced by george w. bush and by barack leaders of terrorist groups when it was announced by george w. bush and by barack obama these kinds of actions do clearly obama these kinds of actions do clearly affect what

a unit like isis can do you pick up off the head effect what unit like isis can do you pick up off the head it clearly affects what the tail can do so credit to our men and women in uniform it clearly affects what the tail can do so credit to our men and women in. reform but also the fact that this was a significant development many of your form but also the fact that this was a significant development many of your fellow republicans and criticize the leaving of the truth to fellow republicans and criticize the leaving of the 2 troops leaving syria what do you think obstacle where that truth leaving syria what do you think. i'm struggling with that truth larry i've had occasion to be in turkey a few times and i have met larry i had occasion to be in turkey a few times and i have met with. both and turkey on occasion and once

with a won both and turkey on occasion and once here too i had hoped that that he would be here too i had hoped that that he would be a leader of turkey that would be positive i had a leader of turkey that would be positive i advocated for turkey being brought into nato. but kate good for turkey being brought into nato. but you know i've been very concerned about a number of his actions i've been consigned and i've been very concerned about a number of his actions i've been concerned about about him out of him frankly for the plank plane the plane that you push with which he runs why should that and run such sins. and end up and you know i do know

a little bit older. to know that linda beside the thing is that when also with the courage of the inside things that went on with the courage they fought with and they were fighting all that with with life and they were up it's with the light only that up and because those i go ahead all good time because baghdad wouldn't help them get the heavy weaponry then they were gay are they here imo wetherell up and i'll be evil they funny they were they are our most reliable fighters in syria against isis so i haven't been players in syria against isis so i haven't been pleased with the way that was handled. with the way that was handled. i i do know that they're the p.k. k. kurds have been i do know that they're the p.k. k. kurds have been and that's a different group of the ones that we fought with for the most part but there's

a group and that's a different group of the ones that we fought with for the most part but there's a group of kurds that have been doing these incursions into turkey and killing civilians and i know that the kurds that have been doing these incursions into turkey and killing civilians and i know that the the turks in or want to particular had a real problem that but the way this was done to the turks in order want to particular had a real problem that but the way this was done to come in. and now that they do have a come in. and now that they do have a buffer zone maybe that will help calm things down it looks like to see a buffer zone maybe that will help calm things down it looks like the ceasefire is holding but i didn't feel good about it felt like we would turn pirate holding but i didn't feel good about it felt like we would turn our back on some people that

that bled with us when it really mattered. in our back on to people that that bled with us when it really mattered. and when instrumental in dani's killing yeah and wounds to mental and dani's killing yeah that's right when bravo bomber announced the killing of all bin laden he took 9 minutes right when bravo obama announced the killing of all bin laden he took 9 minutes. by contents donald trump's local 60 minutes. by contrast donald trump slow for 15 minutes 40 minutes in a news conference declaring bogarting was a woman playing top 40 minutes in a news conference declaring bob dudley was a whimpering coward who died like a dog you think you overdid it then. he died like a dog you think you overdid it then. well obviously some people in the media are

saying that and i must say well obviously some people in the media are saying that and i must say that. i'm not happy quite often with some of the line a that. i'm not happy quite often with some of the language that president trump uses i don't consider it to be present which it present trump uses i don't consider it to be presidential one you know some of it is too long but then show one you know some of it is too long but you know i just want to get a look at the bigger picture to let you know. just let me get a look at the bigger picture to let me give you an example of trump i was always a free trader in the congress and you give me an example of trump i was always a free trader in the congress but over the years tried to talk to the chinese i

went to beijing and met with the chinese but over the years tried to talk to the chinese i went to beijing and met with the chinese the tough year i taught poppy here and repeat about how about it try to reading how it is that it's not always a good thing that was the found always fair pay or. even though i was free was a free try to translate is no question a question at many of our trade part of many of us what they are going to back training partners were taken advantage of was so i think that trump has been doing president trump is trying to do the right thing that was so i think that trump has been doing president trump is trying to do the right thing with regard to the europeans and now he's got the great the japanese and south korean with regard to the europeans and now it's got their great with the japanese and south koreans and chinese but so i like the fact that he has done eons in chinese but so i like the fact that he has done it because many of us did not do what was

necessary in the past but mounted because many of us did not do what was necessary in the past but my problem has been again sometimes how he doesn't do problem has been again sometimes how he does it doing all of these trade agreements at once. you know cause a sudden all of these trade agreements at once. you know causes some some problems i would look to be likely to make more sense to do it in syria them one after the other or maybe some problems i would look to be likely to make more sense to do it in syria them one after the other or maybe 2 are but so it's sort of a pattern but he who are but. so it's sort of a pattern but he you know he didn't provide us to be a present like presence of the play past he does a different you know he doesn't provide us to be present like presence of the play past he does it differently and that calls thanks to and sometime it differently

and that that those calls thanks to and some time because his problem for him self when silence would have been better for example he informs his problem from self when silence would have been better for example he informed me of putin about baghdad the operation before it happened on vladimir putin about baghdad the operation before it happened but he didn't need to release the democrat but it needs at least a ship. surely in gas and leadership. well i've got 23 actually that number one on and. well i've got 3 actions so that number one. on the rent fraudulent in so that they would rush b. and if they did it would hurt and put the consulate in an inadvertent conflict in the airspace that we were going to so i think we did the right thing but buys in

the rice that we were going to so i think we did the right thing but buys in the russians i think the russians did the right thing and got a credible thing to say ok russians i think the russians did the right thing and the credible thing to say ok they didn't say don't come in we can't say we're coming he would come in low we didn't tell him what to they didn't say don't come in we can't say we're coming he would come in low we didn't tell him what the purpose was but the russians acted purpose was bought a bunch of the russians we accepted responsibly and when so did we don't know what but you know if you know i'm mistaken conflict that's point number one point number 2 mistaken conflict that's point number one point number 2 own at least a couple occasions president clinton called me and said we're going to own at least a couple occasions president clinton called me and said we're going to go and we're going to bomb a place or we're going to do this can go and we're going to bomb

a place or we're going to do this can and i want you to know and i would appreciate it if you would be supportive and we did it on a stick and i want you to know and i would appreciate it if you would be supportive and we did it on secure phone and then i know at one instance it was sure i asked him can you get your phone and then i know at one instance it was sure i asked him can you get to your intelligence community to call me and give me more information about this. and your intelligence community to call me and give me more information about this. most of the time with only one exception i've supported the most of the time with only one exception i've supported the president when he took these actions so but the president when he took these actions so but there has been a real problem in this city with leaks i mean if places like it like a sieve and if there had been

a real problem in this city with leaks i mean if places like in like a sieve and their food that any chance that anybody accidentally inadvertently or whatever that any chance that anybody accidentally inadvertently or whatever were leaked or told somebody that this was going to happen you could have had labs were leaked or told somebody that this was going to happen you could have had labs at stake so but there again is one of my concerns at stake so but there again is one of my concerns republicans don't talk to democrats the house the dog the senate the burns republicans don't talk to democrats the house of dog the senate the senate and all the house a president doesn't talk to the congress everybody needs to be communicating and there's got the senate and all the house a president doesn't talk the congress everybody needs to be communicating and there's got to be at the top leadership house and senate republican and democrat

and the president to be at the top leadership house and senate republican and democrat and the presidency can communicate in good faith and without rancor didn't can communicate in good faith and without rancor for the best interest of the american people are we doing that now no but we used to do it what do you make of the democratic field so far for the best interest of the american people are we doing that now no but we used to do it what do you make of the democratic field so far. that it would do well hail. not my job much i get pretty uncomfortable with they are all the things they're advocating and i get pretty uncomfortable with they are all the things they're advocating and you know most people would describe a lot of it as socialism and i know some of them pretty well out you know most
