SANDRA SMITH (CO-ANCHOR): Why not build the biggest, best case that you can, in impeaching the president? Why wouldn't it behoove, as going back to Nancy Pelosi's words, “building this in a manner worthy of the oath of office,” to not rush it, as Jonathan Turley made the case yesterday?

REP. DAN KILDEE (D-MI): Well, I think everybody needs to be worthy of their oath of office. And the president needs to be worthy of his oath. And here's the problem, and here's the sort of irony of the situation. The argument that we should hear from other witnesses actually falls right into this question of whether or not the president is obstructing the investigation — which actually could be an article of impeachment. The witnesses that we're referring to, the president has made it abundantly clear, under no circumstances will he allow them to testify. Not at all. So the idea that the president's supporters and those of us who would love to hear from those —

KILDEE: Let me just make it clear. He may have said that, but he has ordered them to not testify.

SMITH: In the House — in the House Intelligence Committee, that's what we heard. He said that he was willing to have them testify publicly as soon as the latest — as the Judiciary Committee hearing that happened this week. First, I want to hear from Congressman Andy Biggs, top of the hour —

KILDEE: But they're still under the orders.
