just a few weeks ago, chris wallace said joe digenova described the process of impeachment as regicideich is truly bizarre because it implies we have a king, and trump is the king. we don't have a king and that's the point of america and someone is trying to kill him, which democrats are not. he called whistle-blowers as you saw, quote, suicide bombers. this sort of approach here of trump tv is to paint the impeachment proceedings as essentially an undemocratic coup or power grab. despite the fact it's in the constitution as a constitutional option to deal with presidents that abuse the office in a democratic way. that is why the process exists. the question for democrats is how to deal with the white house's stated intent to give them nothing. do you fight it out in court and try to get as much as you can with the risk that this can drag out, or do you say we have what we need and move quickly? that appears to be what house intel chair adam schiff is trying to do, to help ponder the questions, i'm joined by david brock. founder of media matters and america bridge and mieke eoyang, sta

attorney joe digenova, he compared the impeachment inquiry to the murder of a king. >> what you're seeinggicide. this is regicide, by another name, fake impeachment. the democrats in the house want to destroy the president. the democrats who used to just love process and procedure and the rule of law, they are literally subverting the rule of law in what really amounts to a seditious attack on the government. it really is sedition. >> sedition, by the way, defined under u.s. law as an conspiracy to oefb throw or destroy by force the government of the united states. david, here's the thing, i've noticed a few tentative comments from some -- i'm thinking of rob portman here for instance who expressed his displeasure. he did not think the president should have made the phone call, but trying to find that middle ground. and i suspect there's a lot of republicans who'd like to get there but i wonder if the president is going to characterize his call as perfect and beyond reproach and if his public and his public defenders posture on this as regicide as you're hearing that, how tough does it ma

even they go on television, joe digenova and some of these other allies they never have information to point to say she was a problem. as to the question whether pompeo defended her or protected her, giuliani says that he talked to mike pompeo to tell him that the state department was protecting her, that the president had wanted her out for the better part of a year, and she wasn't out. how she was protected it's unclear, but i can tell you with certainty that at the end of the day, mike pompeo agreed with the president and agreed that she had to go. >> michael bender, fascinating reporting. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. joining us now is cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin, obama white house communications director general sake, david gergen, and maggie haberman. maggie, you and your colleagues at the "new york times" have reporting about the president in the ukraine. what is it? >> our understanding is there was a draft of a statement that was done by the ambassador of ukraine, gordon sunland in addition with kurt volker, the state department official who w

during the mueller probe where there was an announcement on the record from trump's advisers that joe digenova was going to be joining the white house legal team. then in a day or two that was not the case anymore. so we'll wait and see. >> in case it does become trey gowdy, i think it's important to go back and see how he would feel about a president not giving documents to congress when they are subpoenaed or when they need them for an investigation. so here is how trey gowdy feels about that or did in 2012. >> the notion that you can withhold information and documents from congress no matter whether you're the party in power or not in power is wrong. respect for the rule of law must mean something irrespective of the vicissitudes of political cycles. >> he feels strongly that the white house cannot withhold any documents. >> there is a wealth of quotes saying the opposite thing of what they are saying now about impeachment. again, it isn't just republicans. i do think that trey gowdy can expect a lot of those played back to him. if he is helping this legal team on a number of shows. i think
