. >>> good morning, congressman quigley. why take this off the table before the mueller report even comes out? >>. >> well, look, on the far right they shut down the investigation and tried to get some filed articles a long time ago before knowing about the revelations, so i think you wait until the mueller investigation is complete. obviously there's some criminal investigations of great note we should take into consideration. the house investigation is just now open again, so let's see where these go. obviously in my mind it's not whether the president is worth it, it's whether impeachment is merited. i don't know that you wait to see if the republicans will ever all be on board. i don't think they ever will, but i don't think you jump the gun on the other side. >> so, congressman, then given what you have just said, did speaker pelosi jump the gun by taking impeachment off the table? >> you know, i think -- the way i took what the speak said was, let's find out just how explosive these findings are. i think there is anoth

quigley, you are recognized. >> thank you. to our panel, where do the russians launder money, and who are their dance partners? >> sir, i'll take that question. the russians launder money, short answer, all over, but certainly throughout eastern, western europe, through major financial institutions and in major financial capitals, and potentially here in the united states as well. >> and to your knowledge, do we have any idea where near the united states and who they might be working with? obviously, we are aware of deutsche bank being fined money for laundering money. >> so not to my knowledge where specifically, but that gets to sort of the primary issue is that both the united states and in europe, as one of my co-panelists has made clear, there are limits to how much information we can obtain regarding beneficial ownership information, information about the true identity of individuals behind companies, and that obscures both our ability within law enforcement and intelligence, but also private sector financial institution

mike quigley of illinois. he is a member of the intelligence committee. according to your colleague, the former acting attorney general matt whitaker wouldn't deny he discussed the michael cohen investigation with the president and he admitted to discussing whether that investigation had gone too far, also discussing whether to fire one or more u.s. attorneys. what does that tell you? >> a continued attack on the rule of law. i have often said, what the russians did was the political equivalent of 9/11. when this is all over, i'm worried that the president's reaction to what the russians did will have a longer term, more lasting impact on the rule of law and our country. what's of great concern is did they -- mr. whitaker and the president talk about what the justice department was doing? did he share with him information about the investigation? this goes from being unethical to extraordinarily illegal. >> in part, i assume because the president, he was referred to as individual number one in the michael cohen case, as far as the u.s. attorney in the sou

quigley asked the same question. justice kagan was lamenting if only the people understood we were an institution that worked. i think there's a really simple way for the american people to see that. when you go to the court, you see, you know -- which i'll explain in a second. you see a kagan and an alito who were appointed by different presidents coming together and agreeing on things more time than they don't. that would be a valuable lesson in our bifurcated country today. there's also the issue about congress has cameras. and the debate in congress isn't great these days. i want to point out that those who believe that tv coverage is the reason why congress has descended into the gridlocked body it is today, the supreme court you only have half an hour per side for oral argument. there's no witnesses, no exhibits, no real opportunity for grandstanding. the justices who you're presenting before never have to run for office. nobody's going to use the sound bite and use it as an attack ad. i see the cameras in the

for more a all of this i want to turn to democratic congressman, mike quigley of illinois. to be here. >> i want to ask you about a man on your committee, adam schiff, who seemed to get emotional after republicans swept up against him and started to argue that he should resign as chairman of the intelligence committee. what is your response to those republicans? >> first of all, i have served in congress ten years now, almost exactly, and i'm not saying this because of what happened this week, about the i think he has this representation, and adam schiff is one of the smartest and hardest working and dedicated congressmen i never met, and the fact that chairman nunes led this show the other day is sad because chairman nunes with his infamous trip to the white house at midnight and his memo that was called reckless and dangerous by the intel community and the justice department, the best way to describe his actions were to tank the investigation and to shut it down prematurely. when the russians attacked our democratic process, chairman nunes sprung into action and attacked
