'This is just wrong': Starr says Dems doing disservice to America by shrouding investigation in secrecy

Starr also said to expect the process of impeachment to drag out and blamed Democrats for abusing their constitutional power for political gain. He also pushed for Republicans and independents to stay on message and to insist on full transparency, so the public can be aware of what is happening on Capitol Hill.

"It's going to drag on. It is not going to be… very quick," he said. "Unfortunately for us the American people, this is all being done in a process that is just again not transparent, so we don't have a way to evaluate until we see something public."

"The Democrats frankly are playing a very dangerous game in insisting on secrecy," Starr added.

"They have a constitutional power to do it but it is wrong, wrong, wrong. For the Republicans, I think they continue to say — and independents, and just patriots saying, 'open up the doors.' Ronald Reagan said 'tear down this wall.' And I would say to Adam Schiff and the speaker, open up the doors and let the sunshine in. Let us see. What you are trying to hide? This is the people's business."

No recession? Thanks, millennials!

That’s Tony Dwyer, Canaccord Genuity’s chief market strategist, explaining to CNBC this week why he believes millennials are a critical component of his bullish stance on where the stock market goes from here.

“It’s a really big deal,” he explained. “The peak birth year in the millennials [1990] is almost as big as the peak birth year of the baby boom generation.”

Dwyer is looking for the S&P 500SPX, +0.21%to hit 3,350 by the end of next year. At last check, the broad market gauge was up slightly at 3,013 in Tuesday’s session. The DowDJIA, +0.33%was also gaining ground.

He is particularly fond of consumer-discretionary stocks, which he believes will benefit from the spending trends of the younger generation.

“If a household is fully employed, they have income and they can go to the bank and get a home-equity line of credit or credit-card debt or whatever a bank is willing to lend them, you have some pretty consistent spending behavior as we’ve seen over the past 10 years,” Dwyer told CNBC.

Watch the full interview:

Dwyer’s views echo those of Smead Capital Management Chief Executive Bill Smead, who explained last week how “incredibly economically impactful things” are about to happen as millennials begin to prioritize necessity spending. Big ticket items, Smead says, will soon be prioritized over “AppleAAPL, +0.46%devices, craft beer and ChipotleCMG, -2.33%burritos.”
