does it em powpower the committ chairs? yes.but the rank and file have to be willing to sit through that and stay longer. -- his record was 11 hours. we started at 9:00 in the morning and we finished at 11:00 at night because he wanted to give every member as much time as they wanted to ask whatever questions they wanted. now, that's not easy. it's -- it's -- can be very difficult with your schedules and all the other demands on you. but that's one answer is to have a cogent hearing. 45 minutes, i h'd never actuall seen that long before. i've seen 15, 20 minutes per side but i thought it worked well. yes, and stronger committees, too. which i think is important. the committees have lost a lot of power and having better hearings makes the committee stronger. >> the rest of you see that with clarity, dr. kosar? >> oh, yeah. certainly. i think the model that we've evolved towards, which is leadership-driven model has become a trap. i mean, basically, your job as a member is to line up behind the leadership or your job is to stand i

jim clyburn had, you know, been non-committal whether he would endorse at all and he waited until theow, just the moment, i think, for biden, after biden's much stronger performance in the debate the other night. boom. here comes the endorsement of the most important political figure in the state. certainly in terms of the democratic party. he is the guy, and, you know, i got to, was around here and then went home to orangeburg and talked to a lot of people yesterday. just heard a lot about joe biden. >> yeah. >> and also talked to a lot of people who are looking at this race like -- we have somehow bred an entire nation of pundits. so every was calculating, well, i think the clyburn endorsement will make people more likely to vote for him. it was hard to get people to talk about actually who they were going to vote for, but it came down to most of the people i talked to, i just really got a sense that this is a, this has been probably joe biden's best week of the campaign and will do well on saturday. >> you know, so, willie, here we have -- once again politics going in a direction t

late voters, people who decided biden can't win this thing, they went to buttigieg, those early committersparty has to get into. the progressive wing will not vote for a moderate candidate. we are only beginning to see the fracturing and in-fighting of this party. >> i mean, sanders is the big winner -- brian: just 4,000 -- >> donald trump won by 35% with a sumly large are field -- similarly large field, so it's a must have tighter race. what you saw last night was the consolidation of the left lane. elizabeth warren's collapsed, about 35-36% of her voters go over to bernie sanders once she finally gets out of the race. out, 21% of biden voters go to bernie sanders. so biden's collapse actually helps bernie sanders consolidate his base going -- brian: there's no logic to that. >> i thought that elizabeth warren was unbelievably kind towards amy cloab char in her speech yesterday, and i wonder if she's going to get into a whole feminist women power moment and try and push her people there. >> yeah. >> it's bernie or bust p from here on out, no doubt about it. one thing that's important to r

clinton, of course, played no role in those investigations before they moved to the house judiciary committ committee. but to the degree you can compare the process when i got to the judiciary committee and either prior and recent impeachments it was largely the same as we had here, the president had the right to call witnesses and to ask questions and chose not to. the house majorities in nixon and clinton did not see their subpoena power to their minorities and neither did we hear although we've now given the minority the right to request subpoenas and compel a vote and they did. the due process the house beside it here provided here was essentially the same and, in some ways, even greater. nevertheless, the presidents council hopes that through sheer repetition they can convert non- truth into truth, do not let them. every single court to hear mr. philbin's arguments has rejected them and the subpoenas are invalid, rejected by the mcgann courts but they have absolute immunity rejected by the mcgann courts. privilege may conceal crime or fraud, rejected by the court in nixon. but if the p

. >> reporter: committal defense attorney informed prosecutor david bruno joins me with his take.appreciate it. this is the president's constitutional right but already some pushback coming. >> absolute authority to do this, no criteria, no process in the constitution to say anything about it. let's talk about clinton and barack obama. obama pardoned the most people in history. clinton pardoned his brother on cocaine possession charges. mark wrench who donated his campaign. we could go on and on. these are controversial decisions and they all deserve criticism but it is all legal and constitutional. heather: is it effective to do this? >> it is effective -- heather: for the person who is pardoned. >> it depends where they are in their professions and careers. for any individual in history it is effective and personal for the defendant. heather: the pushback donald trump is receiving, we've got to consider what president clinton did and what president obama did. this just emboldens the swamp. that is one of the arguments i heard yesterday specifically with rod blagojevich, an indic
