Senator Udall exchange with Pompeo over potential Trump impeachment

New Mexico Senator Tom Udall tells Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo at his nomination hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the question of impeachment could be one of the biggest moral issues of their time, asking that knowing the difference between right and wrong he would resign as CIA director. Pompeo considers the more recent impeachment of President Clinton, Pompeo adding the incumbent was a time of domestic political turmoil and a cabinet able to perform their functions ably, Udall arguing the closer parallel was Nixon, Pompeo responding they were a long way down into a hypothetical and despite the advantage he would steadfastly not speculate on hypotheticals.
