. >> joining us new york state senator todd kaminsky, a former federal prosecutor and former acting deputy chief at the u.s. attorney's office for the eastern district of new york. he is now running for district attorney in long island's nassau county. first of all, is the governor's team likely to get access to trans scripts as the process plays out? if so, how soon? do they have a point? >> it is important to remember this isn't a court of law. this is a process that is now headed toward a vote by the assembly of impeachment. i think the problem with the governor's position with his attorneys is, you know, you can certainly try to poke holes in a given story. you can say you weren't treated fairly, but the evidence that the attorney general presented and the picture that her investigators painted was really overwhelming. we are talking about 11 victims, corroborating witnesses, other types of evidence, and it all really painted a damming picture. i think you are asking

go to todd kaminsky, new york state senate democrat, former federal prosecutor. senator, good to have you. i appreciate it. >> thank you. neil: you have spoken out against the governor, said he should resign. doesn't look at this time, sir, that he will. do you think that impeachment is an option? are there the numbers there to pursue it? >> absolutely. it's, it seems like it is headed that way and headed that way swiftly. i would urge the assembly to move expeditiously as possible. the speaker said yesterday after an emergency meeting with his members, his conference lost confidence in the governor. certainly looks like it is headed that way. i want to remind folks, unlike washington, in new york, when the governor is impeached he is automatically removed from power until the end of the trial. it begs the question whether the governor would want to you know, stick around to be the non-governor while fighting this trial? but it certainly seems headed

i was going to say i didn't realize until our guest last hour todd kaminsky supports impeachment of cuomohed on capitol hill with president trump twice, if cuomo is impeached. if they start impeachment he has to vacate the governor's office. he defends himself without being in that. >> bill: kaminsky is making the point he is essentially impeached at that point. in theory i guess you could make that point. i wonder how many states do it that way? that's the first time we heard about it. >> dana: learn something every minute. >> bill: it is august. we'll get to the early days of september and the nation's focus will go to the 20-year memorial for 9/11 on september 11th and in all likelihood if you get into an impeachment proceeding mid september before it gets underway. maybe sooner but it doesn't appear right now. >> dana: they want to do it right in terms of due diligence. >> bill: we think mid september if it gets that far. >> dana: what do we know? >> bill: questions surrounding the stabbing deaths of a woman and her dog in atlanta are still ongoing and disturbing as ever. >> i knew im
