it doesn't lock the house or even the house judiciary committee in to actually moving forward with impeachment. what it does is to set the terms and rules and conditions under which this investigation would proceed. so i don't think it's a final determination of a political decision in how they're going to move, but what it says is that they're going to keep that option open. i'm sure that it's going to make president trump furious because it means that, you know, there's no clearing of him despite his many, many efforts to claim complete and utter vindication. it's something that he's very likely to head into this election season with this threat hanging over him and, in fact, by setting a structure around impeachment, you're in effect making it a permanent political reality for the president even if democrats haven't resolved their own internal fight over whether it's good for them or not. >> yeah. >> to move forward. >> follow up on that, brian, because, you know, if just this part of the proceedings, right, will be the news. >> yes, absolutely. it is significant to americans all around to

house judiciary committee has over 40. senate select committee had seven senators, four democrats, three republicans, and they had a staff. the way the committee meetings were held, they first had witnesses come before, they interviewed witnesses beforehand. the staff did. sometimes senators were there. then when they began hearings, the hearings were held with a lawyer, staff lawyer starting it. kind of creating context, getting basic information out. then senators could question. then if there had to be follow-up, the staff could ask additional questions. the problem is on the house judiciary committee, we never had a hearing like this. the only time we did that was at the end of the process when the republicans wanted to hear some live witnesses and they were called and there was opportunity to question them. by then, we had uncovered basically all of the facts, they were trying to tamp a few details down. you cannot have an investigative hearing with 41 people or 48 people asking questions. it is not going to work. the

that's why the house judiciary committee we passed out three gun safety measures late last night. >> take us through what happens next. is the strategy for them to pass and then go over to the senate? or is the strategy something less than that to shame the republicans or to get some political votes on the board? >> so the house of representatives already passed on a bipartisan basis a universal background checks bill to u.s. senate. it is 97% support among the american public. we are trying to put pressure on senator mitch mcconnell to take that bill up for a vote. if it goes up for a vote it will pass the u.s. senate. and our hope is that we can get that through to their presidency and have donald trump sign it. we do need the public to continue calling in to both the white house and to the u.s. senate to get them to take that bill up for a vote. >> let me turn to the investigations. your committee turning to what would seem like a bucket of abuse of power, largely witnesses that were named in robert mueller's report, people like don mcgahn, the former white house counsel, cory lew

>> well, i would say the house judiciary committee is getting much more serious. the house of representatives is getting much more serious. they're also trying to buttress their cases in court because they have gone to court to get the information that president trump has tried to stop them from getting. so that shows much more seriousness. on the other hand, we still don't have a house resolution authorizing an impeachment. >> so let's talk about that because jerry nadler has been on the same page as nancy pelosi on this. let's hear what she had to say about it. >> so i stand by what we had been doing all along. i support what is happening in the judiciary committee because that enables them to do their process of interrogation and their investigation. and i salute them for that work. >> is this specific language not important? how should the american people understand when members are speaking very differently about it? >> you're the only ones who are sewing this up. >> it's not true, ma'am. >> -- entire country. come with me sometime, and you will hear from the
