well richard johnson is a lecturer in u.s. politics and international studies at lancaster university and he joins us now richard how does any of this helping president's case when it comes to the. white thing with the president when the president realizes that impeachment is a political process and so although the language is often in terms of evidence and crimes and so on that this is not going to be a straight forward kind of criminal trial there's no kind of standard of evidence that we would see in a courtroom his jury are ultimately could be a 100 u.s. senators and so what he's going to try and do is make it very very difficult for any republicans to move against him and i think that's you know the rhetoric we've just heard is consistent with that strategy well what this is interesting is this a political or is this a legal issue we're hearing claims from democrats that by asking ukraine's president to do me a favor this is breaking the law in the u.s. so which one is it is it political legal or a little bit of both. it's

a clear violation of the law and agalloch or al-jazeera washington but we've been speaking to richard johnson is a letter in u.s. politics at lancaster university. the president realizes that impeachment is a political process and so although the language is often in terms of evidence and crimes and so on that this is not going to be a straight forward kind of criminal trial there's no kind of standard of evidence that we would see in a courtroom his jury are ultimately could be a 100 u.s. senators and so what he's going to try and do is make it very very difficult for any republicans started to move against him and i think that's you know the rhetoric we've just heard is consistent with that strategy even if the house votes for part of articles of impeachment and it goes to the senate if the president is acquitted by the senate at all he needs of 33 republican senators to vote to acquit him that he might come out swinging in the 2020 election saying i've been vindicated. you know why you know it was all a witch hunt and so on so there is the risk the risk but i think now the weight of eviden

use for in response but passed overwhelming and resolution for the next 9 years or so, lyndon johnson and richardnixon waged the whole vietnam war and both on resolution, both on at least one attack that did not happen and the result is that ever since then and my book only goes to vietnam because that's why i write history and later things are too recent, we have never again done, had a president go to congress and say i want a declaration, we've had resolutions but not what the congress ask for. >> did he knew it was based on false information. >> he knew within a couple of weeks but did not go back to congress and say, didn't happen, should have. >> subsequent to vietnam, we went to afghanistan, did we have a resolution? >> no. resolution but not a declaration. >> invasion by sudan hussan and we had resolution to go into iraq? >> ii admire presidents going to congress asking for resolution but not same thing as declaration of congress because the reason why the constitution says this is it says we want a declaration, very hard to achieve, we want a president to go to congress and say, this is

. >> of the other three presidents who faced impeachment inquiry, andrew johnson, richard nixon, bill, do any of them offer any lessons or cautionary tales of how lawmakers should proceed? >> well, if both nixon -- with nixon more than with johnson and clinton, the house did engage in fact-finding and so did the senate. that fact-finding too -- took two years. i'm not sure we have that much time in the current circumstances and that fact-finding takes time. the thing about nixon which may be helpful to remember is he had two impeachment articles proved against him by the house judiciary committee, one involved a president's refusal to comply with subpoenas and this president has refused to comply with a lot of subpoenas. another article approved against nixon charging women he -- char go offer his political enemies and here we have the president asking a foreign leader to help go after one of his political enemies. so if anything it sounds worse than what we've seen before. >> sure. i have a feeling you and i are going to be talking again. michael gerhart, i appreciate you very much.

president trump would be following in the footsteps of andrew johnson, richard nixon. joined by professor and author of "to end the presidency the power of impeachment." professor, tell us what's different now about the charge that now lies against the president compared to all that we've discussed for the last two to three years? >> well, actually, what's different not only compared to the last two or three years but compared to the rest of our history including all of the prior impeachments is that this is the first time a president will have been impeached for violating his oath in a way that threatens national security in the sphere of foreign policy and military policy. we are now talking about not just what happened in the past in 2016, we're talking about what's going to happen to the 2020 election. and we have a case where the president of the united states deliberately withheld $400 million worth of desperately needed military aid that had been voted in a bipartisan way by congress from a vulnerable little ally of ours in europe under attack, military attack b

richard dressel. years earlier when johnson became a u.s. was the most powerful man in the senate. he wanted to be majority leader so he played up to richard russell and served in fact under him under the senate armed services committee. russell in term backed him to be the majority leader in the early 1950's so johnson became the leader of the senate on the democratic side in his first term in office. it's interesting ten years later when johnson is president. neil: the order is reversed. >> and he gave the instructions to russell and he attended the hearing less than any other commissioner and didn't like the results of the commission verdict and told johnson so afterwards. so he still had a lot of pugnaciously in him toward the president, even though you cannot tell it on that phone call. neil: i'm glad you mentioned that. but in the end he did join the commission. >> he did. neil: and it's intimidating when the president brings up an idea he wants to share with you, and that's what is brought up in the phone call the leader of ukraine, g

persuade everybody that you are crazy, the way richard nixon used to do. even though boris johnsonooks like someone who doesn't read his briefs but it looks like people have simply run out of patience because no deal looks like a possibility even though mps have legislated against one. if the eu does not agree to a further extension because boris has mandated... the default position is that we do leave on october 31 and everybody is getting serious. we keep seeing mps have legislated against no deal. they haven't, they have legislated for an extension. extension after extension, no—one really wants that. our mps don't wa nt really wants that. our mps don't want it but more importantly, the eu definitely doesn't want an extension for no reason. it means that while you are extending, you are still in. we are becoming a real pain to the eu. they cannot move on with eu plans. the eu has big plans for ourselves and while we're there, getting the way, threatening to veto... getting the way, threatening to veto. . . what getting the way, threatening to veto... what i feel has had more air

that happened in the case of richard nixon, bill clinton and andrew johnson. >> i tried an impeachment case some years ago in the senate involving a corrupt judge. as far as i recall, we didn't have a vote in the full house. >> for a presidential impeachment you should have. it's certainly not necessary as a matter of constitutional law that we have a vote. all that's necessary is we conduct the impeachment inquiry in the manner that we're doing, that through the judiciary committee, and chairman nadler has already done this, declared a full impeachment inquiry. a vote isn't required. what's important is the work gets done and the work is getting done and we're bringing a real sense of urgency to it. we have the inspector general coming in this week in closed session to discuss other witnesses that you mentioned that we're going to want to talk to who are within the white house or were within the white house that can shed light on the serious allegations in the complaint. we noticed depositions for five of the state department people, the former ambassador to the ukraine who was abrupt

richard says, i believe boris johnson is doing the correct thing in threatening mps with deselectioncracy, i have accepted the result and i know that asa accepted the result and i know that as a businessman, in order to secure any deal could be it with other companies or in this case with the eu, walking away from talks, ie no deal, needs to be left on the table to make strength in those talks. sarah says, the tory party is cannibalising itself before our eyes. the hard brexiteers are about to score the ultimate pyrrhic victory can lead europe but destroy themselves and the economy and render themselves unelectable for a generation in the process. they deserve a complete kicking in the election whenever it is called. this says, we need another referendum, we need clarity. borisjohnson is not acting in an open and trustworthy way. we need to know the full deal and the plans for the future. thank you for them, keep them coming in. we have a few minutes before the end of the programme so we are going to talk to ourfinal guests. of the programme so we are going to talk to our final guest

interesting choice by leo varadkar — he plays athena to boris johnson's hercules. richardut athena stepped in, knocked him out and stopped his killing spree. she then helped him through the rest of his 12 labours to atone for his streak of lunacy." well, we heard leo varadkar arguing there can be no ‘clean break‘ with brexit. but look at this. pollster yougov tweeted this today. "a majority of both conservative (55%) and leave (60%) voters think a no—deal brexit would result in a clean break from the eu, meaning the country could then focus on something else". i don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but whatever the rights and wrongs of a no deal, brexit‘s not going anywhere. aside from the ongoing realignment of british politics, the ongoing push for a new independence referendum in scotland, and the uk economy widely predicted to take a sizeable hit with a no deal — brexit itself is in the foothills. even if the uk leaves with a deal, the nature of new trade deals with the eu and others will be highly politicised and will take years. if the uk leaves without a deal —

andrew johnson and bill clinton were acquitted by the senate in the impeachment trial. richard nixon resigned before impeachment proceedings could begin. joining me now, brenda, the trial of andrew johnson and the dream of nation. brenda, thank you for being with us. thank you. >> let's talk about your experience with impeachment and how you look at this and where you think this is going? >> where do i think the president is going? i think we are headed towards impeachment in the house. what the senate does is up for grabs at this point. you need two-thirds of the vote for conviction in the senate and it is not clear that at this point that we would get that. i mean the case of richard nixon it seems that a lot of people would cross. >> a lot of people forgo forgot -- there were a lot of evidence. >> do these things hang on evidence or political than that? >> it is both. as you were talking before about what constitutes an impeachable offense, it is complicated. there are narrow reasons for impeachment offense, for example, bribery or treason. high crimes and misdemeanor is a l

andrew johnson, more than 150 years ago, richard nixon who resigned before the impeachment happened andinton. the market reactions? they've been mixed. kristina partsinevelos has more. >> you got it right. impeachments leads to talk and gossip but has not rallied markets just yet. there's some volatility but they look past political events. you brought up andrew johnson. 1868, vintage photos that we had. stocks didn't react. you had bonds that rallied. the president was acquitted three months later. so we don't have a graph to show you because the data is from so long ago. if we move to richard nixon's impeachment, we saw more market turmoil. that, you can say and argue coincided with the oil shock, inflation was running out of control and then led to a recession. after he was impeach for several months after that, you saw stocks tank, but they climbed higher after 1975. we move on to bill clinton and his team during the impeachment. there was some volatility, a huge drop during the initial investigation but then in 1998, the markets went higher. the economy was doing so well. it was a

a history here, we've been at this for 240 years, we've lived through andrew jackson, andrew johnson, richardll clinton and now this. maria: what the president has been through with the entire country was in hysteria over potential collusion with russia and the media was driving the bus on it, i can understand the frustration there that he wants to get to the bottom of it. >> he was whistle about that yesterday, i'm sure he will recover from that today, but the -- you know, the long and short of it is he's right about the fact that very few people would be able to continue to withstany morning and put suit on and go back to work and ultimately the american people are going to judge this and if -- if what happens as a result of this, that the democrats lose control of the house, they can look back to yesterday and nancy pelosi's action as the reason why it occurred. >> just really quickly, how long -- how long would this take in terms of the impeachment process? >> well, jerry nadler is apparently saying we hope to get this done by the end of the year, i have to tell you again, my marker is if

bill clinton and and you johnson, they were impeached by acquitted. richard nixon resigned before that full house could vote on impeachment. how will the process work this time? joining me now is someone who knows. he's been reporting all night on how this will work out. manu raju. if i can, let me start with what isn't happening or at least not yet. the house did not vote to launch the official impeachment inquiry. why not? is it crucial and will they? >> republicans say that they are required by house rules to essentially move forward and have a vote to establish an impeachment inquiry. that is something that has happened in the past. but democrats say the actual term impeachment carries no real legal meaning in that it doesn't matter to the courts one way or another if there's an official inquiry and there's nothing requiring congress have an impeachment vote. whether they vote on articles of impeachment to try to impeach this president. that's the significance of what may have to happen. that's the argument the democrats have been making to court as well.

lyndon johnson to my mind is shakespearean in two respects, one positive and one negative. when we talk about a machiavellian shakespeare, richard iii, iago, always, always coming up with treacherous ways to get ahead. that is early lyndon johnson. robert kanner writes brilliantly about all of that. but there is also another johnson. in less than shakespeare teaches is that you must have empathy. iv, the princery before becoming king, henry iv lived with the common people. that is an important part of his connection to the people. the night before the battle of kincourt now he is can, henry the fifth, he puts on a cloak and discusses himself and he walks among the troops as a common soldier, not as a king. shakespeare is teaching the importance of empathy. with coriolanus, one of my favorite place, a great warrior who can't stoop to the rituals of democracy goes he thinks they are beneath him, we see an example. to my mind, lbj later gives us that after montgomery bridge, when he, at a moment of national crisis, gave a speech which is one of the greatest in american andory, about civil rights, how we were all in this together, a

he joins andrew johnson, who was impeached then acquitted in the senate. richardresigned, and bill clinton, also impeached and acquitted in the senate. let's get to the bottom line with carl bernstein, also jill lockhart, a cnn commentator. carl, give us the 30,000 foot view of what happened here yesterday. >> i think that perhaps we have a new dynamic and some ground is shifting. two things have happened. one, that nancy pelosi now is the face of the democratic party, not the candidates, not warren, not biden, but for the next few months, nancy pelosi, a very formidable opponent of president nixon is really going to be the personification of the democrats and their constitutional argument that we have a corrupt president who has admitted his own corruption of the electoral process, who has taken the country somewhere where it has never been before, in encouraging a foreign power to undermine our system of free elections in this country. and it seems to me, even by the reaction of the senate yesterday, in finally agreeing to a resolution joined by democrats that t

. >> richard nixon resigned ahead of a looming house impeachment vote. andrew johnsony the senate and completed their terms. >> as for how long this could take, it's unclear, but it took the house two months to impeach clinton and a month for the senate to acquit. so there's a chance this could extend all the way into 2020. >>> moving on to breaking news now, severe thunderstorms and possibly a tornado hit western wisconsin overnight. details are still coming in but reports say there was serious damage in the town of wheaton near eau claire. we know tractor-trailer trucks like this were knocked over by strong winds. area schools are providing shelters for those who need a place to stay overnight. >>> we're learning new details about the night a former dallas police officer shot and killed her neighbor. >> amber guyger is being tried for the murder of botham jean last september. a police detective testified she had no drugs or alcohol in her system at the time and jurors have seen police body cam video of the incident. abc's marcus moore reports from dallas. >> reporter

only two presidents -- andrew johnson, bill clinton -- have been impeached in our country's history. richard nixon, of course, resigned in the midst of impeachment proceedings. and speaking of richard nixon, there is this very important point that i need to point out to you here. take a look at this. this is the front page of the "new york times" from june 21st, 1974, okay? we'll leave it up for you. there it is. the headline here, "nixon and house versions of the tapes differ widely." the house judiciary committee had found that its transcripts of some of president nixon's watergate tapes were very different from the edited transcripts released to the public. don't fall for the okey-doke. and now here we are with a very different impeachment inquiry under way. the white house has tried to bury a whistle-blower's complaint. the president has changed his story again and again about his call with the president of ukraine. and when he needs it most, this president has squandered his credibility. a momentous day. now that the house has launched an official impeachment inquiry, what will that loo

you go back to andrew johnson and bill clinton, neither of them were convicted by the senate richard nixon whose often brought up when we talk about impeachment he actually resigned from office before the house actually voted to impeach him so there's technicality there. >>all right that's it for now and of course, so we'll continue to monitor what's going on in dc with the whole which is 24 hour streaming news service commercial free go to kron on dot tv to sign up for that. >>all right in the meantime that does it for us here on the kron 4 morning news for jon robin daryn myself we'll see you back here tomorrow morning for friday. friday as you saw in that seven-day forecast we've got a much more comfortable weekend ahead so make plans now to enjoy may be some time outside take a look barbecue one last time before fall really sets good day everybody believe it was a beautiful shots around san francisco. >> announcer: today on an all-new "dr. phil." >> i've been ghosted over eight times. >> dr. phil: is a pattern developing here? >> i don't know why i'm getting ghosted. i'm beautifu

have been impeached andrew johnson and bill clinton and neither of them were removed from office they survived the impeachment process and continued with their presidency now richard nixon was facing the threat of impeachment and he stepped down so so far no president in u.s. history has yet ever been removed through the impeachment process and at this point many suspect that if the house were to move ahead with impeachment proceedings against trump the senate which is controlled by republicans could vote not to even convene the impeachment trial now donald trump is saying that the potential for impeachment proceedings to begin would actually help him in the long term this is president donald trump book which is to continue where you know which of the words we're just going to lose because she does. we're also going to the positive. how could you do that if you haven't even to give them. now democrats are coming out in response to this transcript and saying that it does indeed show that trump behaved in inappropriate behavior essential trying to get information on joe biden from a foreign leader using the oval office for his own political ends however no mention o
