On Cuomo Prime Time Tuesday, CNN's Chris Cuomo weighed in on the impeachment debate; pointing out the pluses and minuses of going down the impeachment road. According to Cuomo, impeachment "could be the best way to get you the information you deserve so that you can decide if there were an actual abuse of power here by the President."  Cuomo warned that on the other hand, impeachment could have political consequences; while referring to President Trump as a bully: "there is a real risk of making the bully in this so far, this President, look like a victim." Cuomo pushed back on President Trump's characterization of Congress's Russia investigation as a "do-over" of the Mueller investigation by making a semantic argument that it's actually a "redo." Cuomo pointed out that under this "redo," "it's a different standard. This is not about a reasonable doubt. It's about beyond what the country wants in a President." Cuomo want on to slam President Trump's "gross abuse of power” while expressing hope that it "disgusts enough of you to influence lawmakers."
