jason chaffetz has this observation about what is going on. roll tape. brian: any time. up, try griff. thought it was there. steve: it was in the teleprompter for a moment. we now have it. watch this. >> why are they doing an impeachment hearing on monday morning? there are a lot of us that believe they know the horowitz report is coming out. congress doesn't normally go into session on a monday until 6:30 p.m. oh, here comes this report. but, let's remember, this ig report is the fifth in a series. they have made 8 referrals to the department of justice. all for either possible criminal prosecution or internal manipulations if you will or disciplinary actions within the fbi. it doesn't get any dirtier than that. the entire upper echelon of the fbi has been blown out thanks to donald trump. brian: that is a theory that the horowitz and durham report so strong come out with a counter narrative. other thing to keep in mind this is what it takes to get democrats to work through the weekend impeachment. when is we have all these other things that need to be addressed includi
