'Fear': Trump insiders defying stonewall in impeachment probe
Despite Trump’s attempts to stonewall key witnesses and evidence, the first White House aide, Fiona Hill, testified in the impeachment probe. Hill, Trump’s former Russia adviser, has been at the center of Trump’s twin foreign policy scandals, and left her post in July, shortly before Trump’s Ukraine call. The Root’s Jason Johnson argues more civil servants and members of Trump’s admin are coming forward despite ‘the stonewalling of Congress’ and ‘hiding of information’ because they ‘don’t want to face jail time’ or ‘criminal charges.’ Jason adds Trump is ‘realizing’ the ‘limits of his influence’ because aides do not want ‘to carry water for this level of corruption.’

DOJ veteran predicts Trump’s Ukraine stonewalling will make him go ‘down in flames’ like Nixon
Former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber for ‘Opening Arguments’ to discuss Trump’s ‘ridiculous’ attempts to stonewall Congress’ impeachment probe. Katyal comments on WSJ’s reports of Mike Pompeo’s former senior adviser Michael McKinley’s upcoming testimony, saying more Trump aides are telling ‘the truth to the American people.’ Katyal says if Trump continues to ‘try and run out the clock’ on the impeachment probe he will ‘go down in flames’ like Richard Nixon, as Trump holds no ‘valid legal argument.’ Katyal also weigh in on Rudy Giuliani’s investigation, calling the involvement of the DOJ’s ‘legendary figure’ in the Ukraine scandal ‘sad.’
Trump on trial? How the Senate tries a sitting President
In a special report, “Trump and Ukraine: The Impeachment Crisis,” Ari Melber moderates a discussion with two unique figures on how a senate impeachment trial would unfold. Former federal appeals court Judge Tim Lewis examines the stakes for the chief justice who would preside over a trial and former North Dakota Senator Byron Dorgan, who served during the Clinton impeachment, explains how the Senate would set the rules. Senator Dorgan, who voted against the Clinton impeachment charges, said Trump’s behavior is “vastly different,” because while the Clinton trial focused on personal conduct, asking a foreign government for election interference “is criminal.”
Waka Flocka Flame on defending Kanye, Rappers on Instagram and how he conquered his ‘lower self'

Francis Ford Coppola backs prosecutors playing Godfather clip at Trump adviser’s trial
Francis Ford Coppola discusses his film ‘The Godfather’ being played in former Trump aide Roger Stone’s trial in a new interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber. Coppola argues if the movie is ‘relevant to the case,’ then prosecutors are right to play it. Coppola says ‘Godfather has become part of the culture,’ and politics because ‘some of the most unattractive political leaders in the world’ share The Godfather as ‘their favorite movie.’ Coppola discusses why he is re-releasing his mafia-inspired film ‘The Cotton Club,’ and why he wanted to right the studio’s pressure to originally limit the portrayal of some black artists in the film.
