the case against the president was put with simple clarity by congressman john katko of new york. >>allow the president of the united states to incite this attack without consequences is a direct threat to the future of this democracy. for this reason, i will vote to impeach this president tomorrow. gerry: now the republicans said the president didn't incite the attack, but democrats obviously of voted with those ten remins, and the impeachment was passed. the case now goes to the senate. what is clear is that the republican party which swept to power four years ago is in some crisis n. those four years the party's lost control of the house of representatives, the presidency and the senate. and normally in circumstances when a party loses power, it moves on quickly to find new leaders and a new direction. this time that may be unlikely. polls indicate that large numbers of republicans still support donald trump and, assuming he's not disqualified in the impeachment trial in the senate, they want him to run again. later in the show, we'll talk to a trump sporter who attended that rall

three other republican house members, john katko, adam kinzinger, and fred upton said they would vote. president trump has dismissed calls for removal. >> free speech is under assault like never before. the 25th amendment is of zero risk to me, but will come back to haunt joe biden and the biden administration as the expression goes, be careful what uyou wish for. the impeachment hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain far greater than most people will ever understand, which is very dangerous for the usa, especially at this very tender time >> well, you tube has joined other social media giants in taking action against president trump, banning him from uploading new content for at least seven days the google owned company has disabled comments on trump's channel indefinitely, citing concerns about violence. this follows similar moves by facebook and twitter i'm happy to bring in jasmine mcnealy, an attorney and associate professor of telecommunications at the university of fl

john katko as well. e of the first out with statements yesterday saying he would support impeachment. john in costa mesa, california. go ahead. caller: good morning. president trump has made his position on the peaceful transfer of power abundantly clear for weeks now, not months. it has been a week since this riot at the capital. he still has the opportunity by showing up at the inauguration and diffusing this whole thing. he will not do that. he will not do it, especially after he pushed these people. i watched that rally, parts of it. these people were standing out in the cold listening to music like "gloria" and the other "ymca" thing in the freezing cold with their flags and insignias. i am a graphic artist. these -- people rally around these symbols and get pumped up. the right keeps saying the media this and media that. talk radio is dominated by the right. rush limbaugh, sean hannity, on down the line. you can't hear anything about the left. i wish mike pence would step up and remove them from off

valadao from california, john katko from districts trump lost in november.carried by almost the same margin. so these are members of congress lou do have to worry routinely about winning re-election. valadao in 2018, he couldn't win and had to come back in 2020. then the next range of seats. these are competitive districts. you mentioned peter meijer from michigan. this is the same district if you rebel the name, justin amash, he's the republican who used to represent michigan's 30. he left the republican party and didn't run for re-election. here comes peter meijer and now votes to impeach. trump won by 4 and generally the republicans would do better there than trump. it was one of those places where trump lags the normal republican vote. also from michigan, fred upton. trump won by 4. also from washington state. so those are more competitive districts. and then here you go. these are the most interesting in terms of trying to discern motivation here. five members, republican members from districts that trump carried. adam kinzinger has been an outspoken op

districts range from dick cheney's in wyoming, which voted by 46 points for president trump in 2016 to john katkoted for hilary clinton, conservatives to mod rats. what these folks have in common, judy, from their statements today is they feel the president did in fact directly call for these attacks on the capitol, that he is directly sponsible and it is an impeachable offense. these members also know it is a great political risk for many of them facing possible primary challenges from the right because of this in two years, but also potential personal threat to them as well. we have seen some increases in those threats here at the capitol. >> woodruff: and, lisa, i want to ask you about that, because, again, during the day, you were reporting on the mood there at the capitol, this sense of tension, worry about threats that have been thrown around in connection with all this. >> reporter: judy, there has been unease at the capitol for a long time, but in the last week, that has grown into straight-out alarm. while people havgotten threats throughout the trump presidency, both sides, we have seen

one republican, john katko, new york republican, just announced he would be joining democrats. the expectation is that there will be other republicans who may come along with him, including liz cheney, the number three republican in leadership. hasn't said how she's going to vote yet but did tell colleagues on a conference call that when it comes to this vote, vote your conscience. i'm told republicans on the house side are not planning to whip this vote. they're not planning to pressure their colleagues, members of their congress to vote with the president on this. they are truly allowing it to be a vote for conscience. that leaves everything to what mcconnell is doing right now. this will end up in the united states senate. when the trial takes place is still an open-ended question and that has been discussed by president-elect joe biden and senate majority leader mcconnell. biden raised the possibility of something he mentioned yesterday, bifurcating the process. allowing in the morning the idea of legislation or nominees to be considered and then starting the impeachment tr

meanwhile, republican congressman john katko making news on the impeachment front saying there must be consequences. all of this comes as the fbi and doj held their first briefing on the investigation into the insurrection. the feds expecting hundreds of more charges potentially, and not ruling out that there was a hostage plot in the works. >> in six days we have opened over 160 case files, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. we have received more than 100,000 pieces of digital media. we are scouring every one for investigative and intelligence leads. >> we're looking at significant felony cases tied to sedition and conspiracy. >> the fbi has a long memory and a broad reach. >> what did the feds know and warn? what was the trump administration on notice about? "the washington post" has now reporting today that the fbi was warned of a, quote, war at the capitol, which is in contrast to the claims that basically nobody knew anything in advance. extremists, meanwhile, wrote "stop calling this a march or rally or protest." go there, quote, ready for war. we get our president or we die
