author of the upcoming book, resistance at all cost, how trump haters are breaking america, kimberly strasselwas going to say before the rest of us? >> a big head's up. we know the whistleblower got in touch with schiff's staff prior to filing a formal complaint with the intelligence community inspector general. that didn't happen until august 12th. we didn't find out about this, the entire country was in the dark for nearly a month longer until schiff mentioned the inspector general complaint. so here's the thing. if you go back and you look at his timeline on twitter and his statements, he was methodically using that month to build up this issue. he suddenly developed this interest in the ukraine and how much money might being withheld and what rudy giuliani was doing there. he was exploiting this, building it up before it came out. even after it came out, he played mom and acted as though he didn't know what was going on, to suggest the white house was engaged in a coverup about a complaint he had known about all along. steve: he was also on msnbc and said we have not spoken directly with

kimberly strassel takes on -- the failure to vote on an inquiry allows schiff to make up the rules asgoes along. she writes mr. schiff apparently believes his impeachment authority lets him ignore longstanding rules. intelligence committee objected to withholding official documents. >> the broader points of why haven't they had a simple vote up or down on whether or not to formally have an inquiry? nancy pelosi doesn't want to put some of the moderate democrats who took trump districts in the mid-terms on the griddle here. it might be controversial. b, adam schiff doesn't want to give the republicans subpoena power. give them the fair shake that ed rollins is talking about. he is a trump ally but he is using history as his guide. if you follow the nixon and clinton impeachment practices moving forward, the republicans would have subpoena power and could bring in hunter biden, for example and say what happened in the ukraine? did president trump have reason to believe there was corruption? maybe not. maybe hunter biden has a wonderful explanation for all this. the point is this is only

she is also a member of the "wall street journal" editorial board kimberly strassel also a fox news contributorve: the book is called resistance of all costs. how trump haters are bracing miracle. who are the trump haters. >> i think this is a very specific category. right? i think any human person who looks at a presidency, they have moments where they think the president did a good thing. they think the president did a bad. that's called being a critic. a thinking critic. the recess teres are the folks that from the minute trump was elected they decided he was illegitimate president and they were entitled to take any means necessary to remove him from office. steve: and you break the book down into you've got the courts. you've got the media. you have got the confirmation process. it seems like a lot of these great big institutions in this country are stacked squarely against this president. >> and the argument of the book is for the last three years we have been told that it's trump who is undermining institutions. breaking democracy. that he is a autocrat. is he a disrupter in many ways. i

and kimberley strassel, member of the editorial board at "the wall street journal," also author of the best seller "resistance at all costs:how trumpeters are breaking america." kimberlyhts on this resolution and what this is shaping up to be? >> a look, why have they put this out? because they were facing a lot of accusations about how this is being done in a highly unusual manner and they had not actually voted for the authority to go forward with an impeachment inquiry. so now we have this resolution, but as you can see, it certainly is not going to satisfy republicans or shield them from ongoing complaints. it still isn't being done in the way the former impeachment proceedings have been done. most notably, it has been outsourced to these three committees will continue to do these hearings probably behind closed doors and where the president 's counsel will not be welcomed to take part. they will not be able to take part until it actually goes to the judiciary committee, and that will allow republicans to continue saying that this is being done in a one-sided way. >> bret: meantime, susan, this testimony today, and it was still ongoing as the show started, from li
