Office? >> its all of the above. speaker pelosi has any trick up her sleeve that any speak kerr have. nobody knows the rules better than she does. but ultimately, the leverage may not be there. what they need to find is they need four members of the senate who are republicans who will demand a fair trial so to speak for the american people. they need to be looking at folks like mitt romney and susan collins. >> see if they can get -- >> to see if they can really get them to pull some leverage he...

It is a vacuum. and nancy pelosi has developed a clever strategy in that vacuum, which is, well, netechnically w have to transmit them for the senate to get them, therefore, were using this as leverage to extract some assure answers of fairness at the trial. its even more high level chess. we cant choose our house managers, our prosecutors, until you, the senate, tell us what the trial will look like. so its actually your fault, senate. now, on the other side senate republican leader mitch mccon...

That they can come to terms on something that democrats feel will be fair, and she doesnt want to release these articles until shes assured of that. >> you know, norm, i wonder if theres a -- its unclear to me what -- the leverage here depends partly on mcconnells posture, partly on the politics for the four or five republican senators who may have to sweat this in a vote if theyre voting not to call, and partly on just the presidents personality, how much he starts beating down mcconnells door ...
