ways about republicans than it does about justin amash.at is that they are so cowed by this president, the freedom caucus is just in lock step with the president, unwilling to stand up to him. it would be very interesting to see justin amash mounting a campaign against trump and see what happens when the sort of weight of the conservative world comes down on him. it's really remarkable that he is the sole voice out there. >> from michigan, grand rapids, michigan, a district that's always been pretty conservative but reliably republican. traditional republican, not trump republican. matt miller, what about this civil contempt vote. the democrats have gotten an agreement from doj to get some of the underlying material to the judiciary. they are still proceeding with a civil contempt resolution to enforce subpoenas on william barr and don mcgahn. this could be a very slow process. >> i think this was a worthwhile trade. they have dropped the criminal contempt threat against the attorney general. it's symbolic vote. there's some leverage you g

kennedy: welcome back, mitch mcconnell -- justin amash had time to complicate the swamp from dog house impeachment rendered him a man without a party, he has been mum publicly about the case he made, but he did tweet about two decisions, one on impeachment, other vote against house judiciary chair nadler, so-called contempt resolution. he came to a conclusion two party system is hurting america. amash is right. b about that his constitutionalism, has put him at odds with that' that looks vy different from one he joined and ran with. he pointed out the hip cas hypof our two party system, and forced his party sho shun him for now s in no man's land, a poll at home has him down by 16 points against his primary challenger, if he really wants to go in on liberty. he should go in a potential libertarian candidate and his silence betrays a level of discomforts. which means if we were to have's meaningful seat. he has to get bloody and fight, he can't shrink away with things get ugly, if he will stand up for the constitution and a more perfect union, he has to make his case. democrats are for

i think this was simply an untenable situation for both justin amash as well as for the leaders of thecaucus. reporters have been asking amash and the leaders, mark meadows and jim jordan almost on a daily basis about the situation, justin amash, obviously breaking from not only the freedom caucus but his entire party in being the only republican in congress so far and perhaps ever to call for the impeachment of donald trump. so, obviously, a very painful situation because he is extremely close to the founders, jim jordan and mark meadows. he sees them as his closest friends in congress. but the freedom caucus leaders made a decision, they said we are going to stick with the president, they are some of the president's closest allies and loyaltyists on capitol hill. there's almost zero daylight between them and the president on any issue. and now, of course, there's speculation of what happens when justin amash now. will he make the jump into the 2020 race and perhaps challenge president trump as a libertarian? he's been drafted by the libertarian party and its leaders and right now he

and justin amash spoke out really strongly.s he more threatening voice than anybody else. >> he has that credibility. >> i want to talk about the freedom caucus. at this point, given that you're a credible analyst here. is this a real thing anymore? does this become like an adjunct of the republican party and not standing for that? what i mean is, they're welcome to have their views. if their views are wholly and completely in line with the gop, they don't need a caucus. >> they issued a statement condemning justin amash after he came out with his pro impeachment talk and it happened the same week that lawmakers were conspiring with one another to eliminate the debt ceiling. wave it away. that's what they used to care about. they are an attack dog element for donald trump. mark meadows and jim jordan in particular have been running interference. this is a huge shift from march and april of 2017 when the freedom caucus was rightly seen as the biggest obstacle in trump's path to repeal and replace obamacare. he was calling out by

he was asked about justin amash, the only republican in congress, who has come out and said that whatdent did was an impeachable offense. there is an obstruction of justice here. this has understandably created some waves in the house. justin amash has quit the house freedom caucus, and republicans are really struggling with how to deal with this. kevin mccarthy was asked about that and he basically said that he doesn't believe that justin amash still has a philosophical home in the republican party, or that he has ventured outside of that in certain ways. there's a poll out today that shows that justin amash trailing his little-known primary challenger by 16 points. so republicans in some ways want to punish him for this, understandably. they want to keep people in line. the flip side of that, though, is what if this guy leaves the republican party. and of course this is a congressman from michigan. michigan is a very important state. what if he takes more of a vote from president trump in that state than the democrat? that could be a very divisive thing. so republicans are trying to

it's not true of justin amash who's an honest republican who read the report who said to his colleaguesad the report you cannot but come away with the irresistible conclusion that this president committed multiple acts of obstruction of justice. that's exactly what john dean testified to and our other two academic witnesses. they testified on behalf of more than 1,000 prosecutors and attorneys. we're talking william barr's colleagues who said anybody else in america would have been marched out in handcuffs had they done what donald trump did. but simply because of the department of justice rule that the president is not indicted he got away on that technicality. it's up to congress to act. >> you asked john dean about president trump's oval office meeting where he asked comey to let the flynn thing go, according to the mueller report. dean compared that to nixon instructing his chief of staff to have the cia -- to stop its investigation. what do you make of that comparison? do you agree with that? >> he was drawing historical analogies throughout the entire afternoon. one of the other w

i have never had a conversation with justin amash about that.he president should be impeached. i think the democrats are going to be pressured by the far left and not be able to avoid impeachment proceedings against this president. and i think they'll be punished at the ballot box for that. the mueller report came out. 35 million taxpayer dollars. instant access to grand juries, subpoenas, law enforcement agents, lawyers, whatever they needed. and the investigation clearly showed not a single american kohl you'ded with russia to affect the 2016 election. the american people want us to move on. the democrats are insistent upon impeachment. i'm standing will making sure that they are held accountable for these axe actions that are not warranted. >> to his point on obstruction. >> the president was duly elected by the american people. >> absolutely true. but to his point on the obstruction and the ten thing lid laid out in the mueller report and the mueller saying he couldn't exonerate the president of a criminal. and more than 1,000 former prosecu

justin amash is doing that but democrats aren't. so those numbers are ticking up. i agree with howard dean. i agree with the fact that, oh, okay, here's the thing, maybe we're doing a strategic patience right now. maybe nancy pelosi she is playing three-dimensional chess as many of my callers into my show say. okay, danielle, you're getting really carried away because you're really going after nancy pelosi here. yes, here's the idea. the rest of america doesn't have three and four months to wait. the rest of america is actually becoming more and more disengaged every day that goes on and they see that no one is doing anything about donald trump. >> so this is -- that's i think a really interesting point, brian. so there are sort of two ways i think to think about strategic patience here, which howard dean was talking about in the earlier conversation. one is as a sort of tactical ploy, right, to kind of let public opinion lead, but there is also this question about, like, what do you want -- if you're nancy pelosi or the democratic party right now, what do you want

one republican who is going his own way on a bunch of issues is justin amash. you know about him.posted something we don't see from a lot of your republican colleagues. he said after thinking it over, he has his conclusions that attorney general barr misrepresented the mueller report that trump engaged in impeachable conduct, partisanship something you were talking about eroded our system of checks and balances he argues and few members of congress have read the report. four points. do you agree with him on those and how do you think it's playing since you guys are out in spectacular parts of the country there. >> so first of all, i want to make it clear justin amash is my friend. we don't agree on many things but we do agree on a lot of things. he and i have fought for religious freedom very closely together on a number of issues. i've read the report. i'm now on my third reading and i'm deeply disturbed by what i read in this report. it talks about russia trying to divide us as a country. that's where i'm not sure what we do right now. i've said this before. i'm very conflicted.

justin amash, on many different issues did the right thing.riking. the one thing i was struck by you know what people are impressed by, sobriety and soundness of exexplanation. he really laid out the case in a brief way but in a serious way and did a town hall. he didn't go on many tv shows at all. he turned down a zillion offers and said the town hall with constat winds and a district that trump carried, answered questions including some from trump supporters really show what it means to be a serious representative who takes his obligation seriously and respects constituents and won't cave to them or the noisiest group of them. that's important. one other thing, i hope what we have done might have influence on the house and dell cats. people can make up their own minds whether ultimately the case is there for impeachment and maybe nothing should be done. i think it really is important that the house go through a serious set of hearings where they really look at the mueller report, basically i assume the mueller report is correct and have seri

i think you also saw this in the justin amash town hall. huge number of people out there who are stupefied and terrified by what's going on in this country right now and are waiting for somebody to act. >> the second producer and i were having a conversation about this topic and she was making this case. people are going to come back having talked to their district and be in a different mindset and there is bennie thompson. honestly, it was literally what she was saying in our segment meeting today. and it is the inverse of the conventional wisdom, real people don't care about this. >> well, the problem for nancy pelosi is that a big chunk of her party actually wants to begin these proceedings. the count now is at 50 i think for democrats in the house. it's going to go up, not down. >> yes. that number is not coming down. >> what happened the last week was bob mueller short-circuited this whole thing. he basically said, guys, i wrote this report. i said you should consider obstruction of justice as the constitution prescribes it with impeac

>> i have to say with justin amash, it's clearly in his realm, right? what he's saying. being the libertarian, where he stands, he's known for being principled. he came through the tea party kind of era. and we have to remember that is a solidly red district. and he got a standing ovation from his own constituency. so that says a lot on how he's messaging and how they feel about him. look. this is not watergate. we are -- this is so much worse than what we're seeing in watergate. so the comparison they make is wrong. we are living in abnormal times. we see a saturday night massacre practically every week. and yes, donald trump, he sees the weakness in congress. he sees that they're not going to impeach him. he sees that nancy pelosi is basically saying she's not going there. and because of the fear of the fear of the past. but the present is so much more dangerous. and they are the first of state. they have the power. the framers gave them the power to do -- to make sure, to hold the presidentabilitiable. this is what the base, the democratic base wanted them to do to be

justin amash of course the only republican calling for impeachment.ds in his michigan district this week. he got this reaction. >> thank you. thanks. >> so, melanie, as you take a look at this and you see this sort of reaction for the only republican that has called for impeachment, do you get a sense that maybe there might be some others who might join amash? >> yes. it was remarkable. i flew out to grand rapids, i was there in the district. not a lot of us knew what to expect. this was his first time facing voters after calling for impeachment, which is a remarkable act of defiance, and he was greeted with a standing ovation. people were trying to snap selfies with him and shake his hand before the event. i don't think other republicans are going to be rushing to join him. they haven't thus far. justin amash is a lone wolf in congress. he's always gone against the grain. i think the question is whether democrats will look at this and say maybe there is a political upside to calling for impeachment. he is in a republican-leaning district in michigan,

justin amash revolting against president trump.reaking with his party and getting blasted at a recent town hall. >> you have spent the last two years failing to do your job. first you gave no reason for impeachment. if impeachment would tear this country apart if he's removed from office. so you get to make the political grandstanding. in the last election you got least support in this district. jesse: joining me now in a.
