the decisions that rule your life. while that is somewhat depressing to think that here we are still, still begging for the same rights we've been begging for in iran for more than a century. at the same time what baskerville does is he gives us a guide, a model for how we, especially in the united states, where we take these freedoms for granted, can actually raise our voices and support those clamoring for those very same freedoms in iran. >> and you are talking about an american in iran. of course, america's relationship with iran is one of the most fascinating geopolitical relationships of them. all it goes back several decades. how do you think that biden administration has handled the situation in iran so far? obama was famously criticized for not -- the protest in 09. his argument was american involvement allows the iranian government to paint domestic protests as a foreign plot. how do you think biden is threading that needle right now? >> i don't think biden is all that different than the rest of
time of basketball does is that it gives us a guide. it gives us a model. for how, we especially in the united states we take these freedoms for granted. we can actually raise our voices and support those clamoring for the very same freedom in iran. >>, and you're talking about an american in iran. of course, it's one of the most fascinating geopolitical relationship and it goes back several decades. how do you think the biden administration has handled the situation in iran so far? obama was famously criticized for not getting behind the green movement protests in all nine. his argument was, the american involvement, allows the iranian government to pay domestic protest as a foreign plot, so how do you think biden is threading that needle? >> i'll be honest i don't think biden is all that different than the rest of the administration over the last four decades in dealing with the run. the goal has always been the same. sanctions containment isolation as that is going to somehow magically where.
the vast majority of republicans voted not to impeach and convict donald trump for incitement. he is not guilty as charged with the articles of impeachment. for all the condemnation he's received in the last year over his involvement in those violent events, donald trump still enjoys the support of millions of americans, and in his party, it is those voices that continue to drown out the criticism. aleem maqbool, bbc news, and washington. a candlelit vigil on the steps of the capitol building marked the end of a day of remembering. # lord bless america, land that i love, _ # lord bless america, land that i love, stand beside herand guide — i love, stand beside herand guide her_ i love, stand beside herand guide her through the night with— guide her through the night with a — guide her through the night
>> that is my question. we hear a lot about impeachment, but what will it look like? john avalon explains how history gives us a guide and he has our reality check. hi, john. >> hey, guys. if you've got questions about impeachment, you're not alone. for example, are you allowed to impeach a president for gross incompetence? the answer to that in a tweet from donald trump, of course no. but it's the way ethics draft these debates and dumb us all down. buckle up as we take a quick tour through the history of impeachment. and whether there are any past parallels to what might be ahead. so the constitutional standard is well known and painfully opaque. treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors. what exactly does that mean? treason and bribery are clear enough. the founding fathers worried a president would sell out to a foreign influence.
maybe mueller can wrap up. >> all right, josh gerstein, on behalf of all those viewers i just mentioned, give us a guide to tomorrow. what should we expect in the roger stone court appearance? remind us what the stated reason is. >> well, i think one of the stated reasons is to try to set a trial date for him in the near future. but the big issue on the table at the moment is whether he and his defense team were insufficiently forthright with the judge about a revised edition of a book that stone wrote that was coming out. viewers will probably recall that this judge has now issued two separate gag orders. one was looser and one stricter. after an instagram post came out that showed the judge herself with what appeared to be crosshairs over one of her shoulders. and at that hearing several weeks ago stone's lawyers never mentioned the fact that there was a book about to be released that attacked the special counsel's office in very blunt terms. and clearly if it happened after
team stops committing crimes and the evidence stops coming out maybe mueller can wrap up. >> all right, josh gerstein, on behalf of all those viewers i just mentioned, give us a guide to tomorrow. what should we expect in the roger stone court appearance? remind us what the stated reason is. >> well, i think one of the stated reasons is to try to set a trial date for him in the near future. but the big issue on the table at the moment is whether he and his defense team were insufficiently forthright with the judge about a revised edition of a book that stone wrote that was coming out. viewers will probably recall that this judge has now issued two separate gag orders. one was looser and one stricter. after an instagram post came out that showed the judge herself with what appeared to be crosshairs over one of her shoulders. and at that hearing several weeks ago stone's lawyers never mentioned the fact that there was a book about to be released that attacked the special counsel's office in very blunt
sitting by his side. they issue a subpoena and they force you to answer. here regardless of what the president says, he answers them himself. they go through every phrase to make sure there is nothing incriminating and then there would be nothing submitted back to mueller. >>. >> i don't think that a perjury trap is possible when the lawyers are reviewing the annals. it is not for information, but merely to trap them into something that is untrue. that doesn't happen with written questions because the lawyers can go over and aguide a perjury trap. but the example he gave was not a perjury trap, the thing about the weather. >> if he had the weather wrong on the day, if he said is it a
