Jimmy Kimmel Pleads with Pelosi on Trump Team: ‘Can’t You Put Those People in Jail?!’

‘I think the president wants us to impeach him’

[excerpt]

PELOSI: “You know what really bugs me about that? Because when you see what they said, ‘Oh, I didn’t know, I didn’t know it was wrong to talk to Russians about this, I didn’t know, I say why don’t — how do you explain that to kids in the hood? When they’re approached by law enforcement and they say, ‘Well, I didn’t realize that I was supposed to do this or that.’ Well, they’re supposed to know. But these very wealthy people with high-priced lawyers can get away with saying, ‘I didn’t know it was wrong to do that.’”
KIMMEL: “That’s why we need you to get in there and to take care of this and do something to these guys. 
(Applause)
Here’s what drives me crazy. Because I believe, honestly, I believe that — I — you know, I know it may sound disingenuous, but I hope the President didn’t do anything. I hope that when we look through the Mueller report it is what he says it is. We don’t want that in the United States.”
PELOSI: “Exactly.”
KIMMEL: “But, you know, we don’t — we haven’t had a chance to see the Mueller report. It doesn’t seem like — it seems like when you subpoena somebody in congress they — for some reason it used to be it seemed like you got subpoenaed by Congress you had to go in and speak. Now it’s like, ‘I don’t know if i’m going to do that. If i do, I have different term.’ Can’t you put those people in jail if they say they’re not going to —“
PELOSI: “Well, you can fine them. and you could — let me just, because you mentioned several things.”
KIMMEL: “Yes.”
PELOSI: “Why I think the President wants us to impeach him —“
KIMMEL: “You think he wants us to impeach him?”
PELOSI: “Well, he knows it’s not a good idea to be impeached. But the silver lining for him is, then he believes that he would be exonerated by the United States Senate.”
