Im personally watching is john bolton. there were oral arguments on december 10th in a case involved charles kupperman, the judge in that case that he would rule by the end of the year and adam shiff who tends to convey very big messages in subtle offhand ways was on kole bcolberkolcolb suggested he would but john bolton, privately conceded, could switch the dynamic here. >> interesting, charlie? >> id like to pick up on that. one of the debates the republicans are having is whether to have a sh...

The rules of the road for the trial that said that interview that he gave with fox news sean hannity setting a marker for how he anticipates this to go through. for him to say theres a zero chance for president trump to be removed from office, that has drawn the ire of democrats. it also sets up an interesting dynamic between the leaders office and president trump. and the question is whether or not the white house would like to see a long trial or a short trial. some within the white house feel...

>> because of the voters? but the voters were no bargain either sometimes, and what you have is the people who vote in republican primaries demand slavish obedience to donald trump. and theres no question if a senator did a secret ballot would be much more likely to vote no, a vote to convict, but theyre all afraid of losing their primary seats. think of jeff flake, you think of bob corker. the republican electorate, and what happens is the dynamic as the republicans get harder and harder in thi...

This side against impeachment. is that the same dynamic thats going to prevail. one way of looking at this is you look at the republican side. republicans in the house arent that many that come from democratic friendly districts. only five come from districts that voted for hillary clinton. theres not a lot of pressure to break with trump. on the democratic side its a different story. 31 here. 31 democratic members of the house. what do they all have in common? they all represent districts that ...

There vote against these articles of impeachment, but it doesnt look, at least, like right now that any of the republicans are going to support these articles. >> it doesnt. and at the beginning of this process, it was a big open question about whether or not some would, particularly, the about 20 or so republicans in the house who are retiring and have nothing to lose politically, some of them are young and they want a future in politics, so they do potential have something to lose. but the key...

Until the morning, the more president feels like he wants to fight back and he needs to be vindicated. so, thatll be a really interesting area to watch is exactly how theyre going to resolve those differences. this is still a president who wants this aggressive combative defense. >> what is your best sense in terms of reporting about how close he is to the players? >> how close the president is? hes very close to a lot of them. i mean -- >> in terms of controlling what they do and giving them ad...

Majority, actually. the questions are three republican senators, if they get three -- >> how many witnesses can they call it. mcconnell i have to think theres a little worried because you can have a trial now and if the democrats are able to call more witnesses than the call before the intel committee, if there is new information, i do not know. spewing republicans are in charge but it requires the republicans to switch over so you can imagine a scenario with the republicans, mitt romney, susan ...
