There was a delay, also, in the clinton impeachment. there, a lot of things were worked out over the holiday break. here, thats not going to happen and it is producing a different situation. and i think speaker pelosi should take the careful attention to who the house managers are. but im not sure she has any real leverage, certainly she doesnt have any constitutional leverage over how the senate conducts a trial. >> so, jenna, let me come back to you. on one of the central points of contention ...

Until she knows more about how the trial would be conducted in the senate. mcconnell says theyre at an impasse, and though pelosi has yet to choose the team that will argue the case, sources tell cnn that adam schiff and jerry nadler are expected to take the lead. but for all the naysayers who wonder whether the speaker has any actual leverage over the senate, she clearly does. and that leverage comes from the president himself. let me explain. because he is insisting that he wants a trial. he d...

It basically outlines impeachment. >> i wonder if you saw the presidents tweet. it says nancy pelosi is looking for a quid pro quo with the senate. why arent we impeaching her? i mean we know trump is anxious for the senate trial. at least thats what hes saying, to start as soon as possible. he is furious over the article. shes clearly getting under his skin. it looks like pelosi does have some leverage here. >> definitely. soph dios mio. i dont know where to begin with that tweet. first of all,...

Suite of powers the constitution gave to him and using it not for the ends of the american public but for his personal ends. so what he tried to do basically, don, was he tried to cheat in the 2020 election with the help of a foreign government, and thats why we wrote that op-ed, because we felt like thats just the paradigmatic case of what impeachment was about. this book that ive written is 150 pages. its a bit longer but concise. it basically outlines impeachment. >> i wonder if you saw the p...

Conduct in ukraine and there are republicans that want this to be short and request i cannily vote to acquit the president based on what they say was a july call with the ukrainian president that does not meet the standard to remove the president. >> i think its hard to argue that it was perfect. its also harder to argue that it was impeachable and the delineation between perfection and impeachable, theyre worlds apart and we should keep them that way. what we have to focus on is not really pres...

Iowa caucus. i think you will see our trial. roughly between two to three weeks. >> why did she not hand the articles of impeachment over already? do we know? >> its partly reverence because she wants to have the trial, bipartisan deal reached in the 90s, finch mcconnell and chuck schumer have not been able to reach a deal. i dont think they feel. its basically think we are not going to give you these articles until you have some type of deal but mitch mcconnell said they had leverage and he act...
