Dont remember. is that sufficient for you? >> its sufficient if he agrees that he committed a crime. youve got two parties who agree here, the defendant and the government. there is no reason in this situation for the judge to challenge whether it really was a crime. >> bill: i listen to you, i listen to dershowitz and to napolitano, everybody comes at this almost from a gray matter. there is no black and white. >> there is little black and white in this case. particularly when you factor in the...

Eventually the mounting evidence is going to topple him because people will, like the juror in the manafort case, paula duncan said i think this is a witch hunt and a hoax, but the facts were the facts. the evidence is real and i voted to convict him on all 18 counts. >> yeah. >> i think at some point people will say enough is enough. individual number one is guilty and should be indicted. >> yeah. i mean, the difference between -- the reason that this is nixon and not, you know, clinton or john...
