Summary

NY Congressman Max Rose and Harvard Law Professor and former Justice Dept. Official Jack Goldsmith join Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery." Rose, one of the few Democratic hold-outs in the House with regards to the impeachment inquiry, has come around in support. He discusses what finally pushed him over the edge and what he believes the Democrats’ main focus should be in the upcoming 2020 election. Then Goldsmith weighs in on what crimes, if any, the President has committed. And if they warrant removal from office.
