Summary
Time To Clean House?
Trump’s Ukrainian extortion scandal is metastasizing across his administration. It’s now apparent that his Chief of Staff played a role in stopping the money that Congress had appropriated for Ukraine to defend itself, and that Mike Pence communicated part of the implied threat, to the Ukrainian president. If impeachment goes forward, it should not be limited to Trump. It’s time for a major house cleaning, and that means impeaching Pence as well., which, according to the Constitution, puts the Speaker of the House in the White House. ~ Ralph Nader worries courts won't stop Trump. Ralph Nader joins Thom Hartmann today to discuss impeachment, Congress and Donald Trump. Could our only hope come from impeachment or beating him in the general election? ~ Thom reads from "Revolution of Values: Reclaiming Public Faith for the Common Good" by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove.

| 1:12.6 | and testify as to why he is refusing |
