from 2000 when the gore campaign just got a package on its front doorstep of not even foreign intelligence but about the bush campaign. they immediately called the fbi because something seemed kind of fishy about it. that's what you do and that's when you're behaving properly. >> the president did not see that as a proper analog. he dismissed it. >> here's the thing, someone spent a year in jail over that and we're not even talking about interacting with a foreign government. this was just a loyal american support who are apparently wanted to bring down george w. bush. the right thing to do here, even if there isn't a law on it, is to immediately notify the authorities. the question gets back to sound judgement, chris. >> something else i want you to switch hats for a second. >> okay. >> now you're working as a lawyer for a congress member, okay? >> yeah. >> and they're on the fence about impeachment and you hear him say what he says today. how much fuel to the fire does that give to walking into their office and say what else do you need to hear on abuse of office?
