Inevitable that convictions or acquittals in the senate will turn less on the truth of the matter and the political strength of the faction for or against the president who is under scrutiny and there is no getting around it. it is political as much as anything. >> well said, alexander hamilton. natasha, i am curious what you think of this. are the democrats falling short of the strategy, because it is up to the voters to keep the president or not, because as charlie has said and the conventiona...

Doesnt do that, and would that bleed too much into what daniel goldman is doing, and you want to be precise and clear on all of this, and i see why you have made that speculation. this is probably a little bit more of a strategy question, but lets take a look at the ads on impeachment, just this week. all right. ads that republican-affiliated groups have aired and look at that number 4,235 and democrat-affiliated groups one. so regardless, will truth carry the day and not advertisements, charlie...

Proceedings. and when jerry nadler, the house judiciary committee chairman gave them that opportunity, now the white house is showing their cards and saying they dont want to be in this process at all until it gets to the senate. >> but if and when this goes to the senate, the question of cooperation is entirely different. >> reporter: thats right. the republicans are in charge. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell can set a lot of these rules. pat sicipollone will be handlin it in a trial. th...

For that to occur, a senate trial must be held resulting in a two-thirds vote for conviction. mention the word "trial" and most americans probably think what they can view in their local county courthouse or nearest federal courtroom. it imsupplies a sameness with allowance for customs. standard layout, opposing lawyers, a judge establishing rules of evidence and based and statutory and common law and a jury following a prescribed burden of proof using wisdom to facts after a deliberative proces...

>> if and when this goes to the senate, the question of cooperation is entirely different. >> reporter: thats right. as you know the republicans are in charge. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell can set a lot of these rules. the white house counsel will be handling the presidents legal representation and conceivably they can call a whole host of witnesses. they can try to call hunter biden in to testify. they could try to bring the whistle-blower out of the wood work and compel that person t...

Thank you for joining us. our top story after months of razor sharp testimony and bombshell headlines the u.s. house is on the verge of putting its formal accusations against the u.s. president into writing. speaker nancy pelosi on thursday set in motion a chain of events that will almost certainly result in donald trump becoming the third president in u.s. history to be impeached. even if hes acquitted in a senate trial as conventional wisdom suggests, he will, pelosi said the u.s. house will d...

>> laura: ah-ha. now the 4th lie. pursuing impeachment we the democrats are channelling the founders. >> the founders feared the return of a monarchy in america. >> we sit here with a duty to the founders. to fulfill their wisdom. >> the founders feared their president could subvert our democracy.y. >> the founders worried about this type of abuse of power. >> laura: maybe they are talking about the founders of the aclu. maybe those founders. and by the way, i too can go to brainyquote.com and t...

Block. endorsements generally dont mean much. what is the biden camp thinking they might get out of this or what might they get out of this. is john kerry potentially a different case here? >> you know, its funny. conventional wisdom would dictate that endorsements like this might matter. thats the conventional wisdom of maybe 20 years ago. at this point john kerry who did very well in iowa -- he surprised people and i think he won iowa in 2004. he had a great close there. i assume theres good w...
