b, constitutionally, can the white house do this? can they just tell congress to go pound salt, they're not going to cooperate? >> yes, joyce is absolutely correct that if you have an exoneration, you don't silence the witness. in terms of what they can get away with, they have gotten away this up until now, and congress is finally standing up to this kind of nonsense. they've claimed absolute immunity, executive privilege. they've stopped witnesses, and by the way, during watergate, when nixon said "i'm not turning over any tapes" senator ervin, who was conducting the hearings said executive privilege, it's executive poppycock. and that's what this letter from pat cipollone is. it is executive poppycock. there is no truth to it. also, i just want to correct the record a little. during watergate, they started the impeachment hearings before there was a vote to authorize it. and also, the rules were very different back then. now congress has much more independent authority to call witnesses and issue subpoenas. they don't need to decl

>> i wrote the book on the white house chiefs and the subtitle was how the white house chiefs define every presidency, except this one. i was wrong about this one because this is a president who is determined to be unleashed, who doesn't take advice and we've now seen the results of letting trump be trump. >> wow. go ahead, gloria. >> and worse than that, chris, is that i don't think he know when is he needs to take advice. i think early on he was interested in taking advice and then as he continued as president, he said, wait a minute, and this is my reporting to people who talked to him he said, you know, i got this. it's okay. i don't really need a chief of staff to tell me anything because i know how to do things, i'm counterconventional, i'm going to do things my way, and then it becomes a real problem for him. and that's why, as you bring this around to the whole ukraine issue and impeachment, this is a president who wouldn't listen to what people were telling him he ought to be saying on these phone calls with foreign leaders opinion he freelanced and then you have that phone
