michael finney has a message from the team about this tonight. >> team executives tell me it's harder than ever to create fake tickets now that the niners use electronic ticketing. however, that doesn't mean the bad guys won't try. i know lots of fans will pay big bucks to get a seat in the sold out stadium. some may overlook the signs of a scam. there is no lack of excitement over the big game on sunday. there are also almost no paper tickets like the old days. instead, fans must purchase tickets on a mobile device using an app that displays a bar code, which must be scanned at the gate. the electronic system makes counter fitting difficult. however team executive jim tells us by phone scammers will try. >> there are still going to be nefarious people out there that are trying to be opportunistic and catch those fans that are overly excited and just want to get into the game. >> the team has provided paper tickets to a few season ticket holders who don't own mobile devices. however, those are rare. if someone tries to sell you one, be careful. it's likely a fake. also there's no way

karen finney, what is your reaction to that statement? to this six pages. >> nice try.most of us that the evidence is there in terms of the articles of impeachment, and that the president abused his power, and i would expect nothing less for him, and actually surprised that the language was not a little bit more flowery coming from president trump. >> you disagree with karen, congressman walls? >> well, slightly. at the end of the day, it raises some great points that we need to take a close look at. we cannot have a situation where we, where the legislative branch can demand pretty much anything that it wants from the executive and any of the president's closest advisers and particularly when it has to do with foreign policy and if he does not provide those and we don't go to the courts to decide what executive privilege has done as we have done since george washington's time, he can therefore be impeached. the bar should be so incredibly high, and right now, we are lowering it, and it is coming across as partisan and the entire process is coming across as partisan and
