frank bowman, is this just politics? guest: impeachments are always political in the large sense because when the framers put impeachment into the constitution, they intended in the end it be a political judgment about whether or not the president had behaved in a way that made him unsuited for office, that made his continuance in office dangerous to constitutional values, angerous so the republic itself. beyond that the caller makes a point which is a common theme many republican speeches. that is the democrats have been critical of president trump and indeed have talked about impeaching him from practically the time he took office and therefore the current proceedings can be discounted as part of a long running campaign against him. it's true the democrats have been very critical of president trump in the beginning and some of the more intempered ones began suggesting impeaching him practically from the first day he took office which is of course rather simply, but it doesn't change the current circumstance up substanc

bowman: greetings to everybody in washington. i am frank bowman. circumstances are such that unfortunately i could not with you in washington today, but the organizers of this panel were kind enough to submit this short film in lieu of a personal appearance. here are some thoughts on impeachment. and our current circumstance. sometime in the next few weeks, the effort to impeach and remove donald trump as president of the united states will fail. the failure will not be due to an absence of constitutionally sufficient charges. abuse of power has been the most elemental of impeachable offenses, in england and america, since parliament invented impeachment. complete refusal to cooperate with a congressional impeachment inquiry must be impeachable if congress is not to be rendered. utterly impotent as a check on presidential lawlessness and personal ambition. nor will the failure to remove a wanttrump be due to of evidence. the evidence is overwhelming with or without the additional testimony and documents that are being sought by democrats in the sen

november will have plenty of china and russia on their plate to deal with that's for sure bradley bowman with the foundation for defense of democracies joining us tonight from washington friendly as always we appreciate your analysis thank you thank you. 30 years ago today people in east germany stormed the headquarters of the country's secret police known as the stasi the berlin wall had fallen just 2 months earlier euphoria was being followed by a reality check or real fear fear that the stasi would destroy the millions of files kept on most citizens evidence of a nation's crimes against its own people were today german president. visited the former stasi headquarters here in berlin to mark the anniversary he praised the crowds who refused to let the stasi shred any race evidence and i'm sure now here at the big table by my colleagues i mean young police covering this for it's getting to do you so i mean the study was one of the biggest secret police forces in the world at the time how did it shape east german society well i think it was it was a massive part of east german society in

to talk about this military boasting i'm joined tonight by bradley bowman he's with the foundation for defense of democracies in washington he's also a former national security advisor to the u.s. senate fairlie's good to see you again. what should we believe should we believe by the mere putin when he makes claims that he's number one in the world now. i think we should sprinkle oil healthy dose of skepticism to everything that putin says there is a track or record their exaggerating their capabilities both is defective these hypersonic missiles is hypersonic light vehicle specific in the open guard system that it now says operational late december there is no doubt that is a formidable weapons capability that would appear to be more advanced than what the u.s. currently has fielded so that system is designed let's be clear to attack the united states here at home is designed to fly in extraordinary speeds and to in any interception this is a system designed to kill americans at home and so we should take it seriously but he's a metaphor you know in terms of military people that russi

bowman comes to mind. i'd like to read his book. i have respect for mr. bolton, but what mr. bolton is offering is not something which changes my mind based upon what he says he had a conversation or he didn't have a conversation with the president. >> host: you mentioned a moment ago that yesterdays russian and answer session helped clarify things on both sides. what couple of points for you further clarified where you will fall eventually on the question of impeachment? >> guest: they had the opportunity on both sides was to questions prepared that allowed them to find hone their point of view, just as an example, why would the president have an interest in ukraine and in the issues surrounding the corruption that is could have been occurring in that country? what were the points? why was he asking for additional information? or in the case of at what point did he actually asked for information about other countries who were providing support and how much support? were we being asked to be unfairly burdened with additional support where other european countries were not hel

let's speak now with david bowman, a professor of fire sciences at the university of tasmania. let's talk about the fact that these fires have been so serious and so deadly this year. what is the reason behind that, and why has it been so bad? the reason is pretty straightforward. we are looking at a climate and weather driven event, extreme drought, extreme heat, extreme drought, extreme heat, extreme wind, lightning, all of the factors that make fire being given to us ina factors that make fire being given to us in a gigantic volume, and it is just recurrent. it has been going on for two months and will probably go on for another two months. how big a problem is it that australia has not been possibly as prepared as it could be for fires of this extent? honestly it is a bit like driving without a seat belt on and then having a high—speed collision. you know, many people have been trying to say, put your seat belt on, we have got to start preparing for climate change. we have got to start preparing for the fact that without climate change we were exposing ourselves to great ri

and none of it seemed plausible. >> detective bowman isn't the only person investigating this case.te coincidence that he gets involved. >> joe dalu moves into an office just a couple doors down from the abandoned 800xchange. >> it's 2011 of april. we were in there for probably just a couple of months, and we were contacted by the property manager. he knew we were a private investigation firm. and he said that one of their tenants, ed shin, had skipped out on their lease. the amount that was owed was around $40,000, i believe. he advised us at one point that a local law enforcement agency was trying to get a hold of ed shin as well because someone filed a missing person's report on his business partner chris smith. so that kind of perked us up a little bit, too. so i do remember going, would you mind me taking a look at this for you and help find your son? >> so we started conversing between us, and in a short period of time we actually became friends. >> he eventually sent me the emails and everything that he had, all the things that he did trying to look for his son and the people

i've been speaking to frank bowman, author of the book "high crimes & misdemeanors: a history of impeachmentasked him what he made of the day's proceedings. i was iwas in i was in the chamber today watching from the gallery and i have a couple of impressions. first i think the president's defence team stylistically were rather better than one might have expected in the sense that they kept the tone more low— key sense that they kept the tone more low—key and businesslike. i think if one were not familiar with the rest of the record indicates they made points which might have seemed convincing. if you are familiar with the record in the case, not so much. for example their claim about mr trump's original contact with ukrainian president that mr trump's sole concern was corruption in the ukraine systemically and also alternatively burden sharing with other european allies against russia. that is not a supportable claim. it is almost comical. mr trump has certainly complained often that other countries, in his view, don't do enough in all sorts of areas but there is no suggestion at any point t

so i was really grateful to frank bowman for having contributed as a legal historian, and i want to take a moment to plug his book which just came out last year, on impeachment. so, we were looking for scholars and we also approached george conway, who is interested in participating but the timing didn't work out. so we were looking at -- within the scholarly community and also more broadly, and tee timing being so close to the holidays was difficult for more than one person. but i am extremely greatful for my panelis and our moderator who took the time to put thoughts together and make it to d.c. and i'm also -- this is my final comment. very grateful to all of you for coming and for your interest and for your engagement and i find it extremely encouraging. thank you. >> i want to end on a hopeful note. i guess starting out negative and then maybe a new hopeful. one of the arguments that -- the only -- the best argument that the president could make to defend his actions was that he really genuinely was interested in corruption, in ukraine. and there's so many reasons why that doesn't s

. >> i want to bring into our conversation frank bowman, a law professor.te floor. the headline featured a quote from professor bowman where he calls the legal defense constitutional nonsense. and president trump's legal team cites the professor's work in their own brief. what jumped out to me is the word "fake law." please explain. >> fake law is not my phrase. i certainly concur in it. the problem is that the president's brief makes a series of claims about the constitution generally is not true. they make the claim most notably that an impeachable offense has to be a crime or at least crimelike because they're kind of retreating from that. and later on they make the claim that impeachable in particular, high crimes and misdemeanors, doesn't include abuse of power. they actually have the gull to say that that's an invented theory which is of course absurd. impeachment was invented by the british parliament in the 14th century precisely in order to give the legislatures a tool to deal with abuses of executive or then royal power. the very first impeachment

an impeachment scholar, frank bowman, said this, without the power to compel compliance with subpoenastant right to impeach a president for refusal to comply, the impeachment power would be nullified. to the consequences of presidential obstruction go beyond any particular impeachment inquiry. they go to the heart of the impeachment power itself. they weaken our shield against a daj routs or corrupt president. now of course presidents are still free to raise privacy, national security, or other concerns in the course of an impeachment inquiry. there's room for good faith negotiations over what evidence will be disclosed. although there is a strong presumption in favor of full compliance with congressional subpoenas. but when a president abuses his office, abuses his power, to completely defy house investigators in impeachment inquiry, when he does that, without lawful cause or excuse, he attacks the constitution itself. when he does that, he con firms that he sees himself as above the law. president nixon's case is informative. as noted president nixon let his senior officials testify.
