Be removed immediately it's a sense of urgency, yet hold up a second, we want to wait. that doesn't make any sense, and i think the american voters, it just further solidified in some of the american voters minds that this is truly a political play on the part of the democrats here, and remember, they didn't come up with any high crimes or misdemeanors or crimes that they could specifically point to. that they were talking about all along. it all came out light in the end, and i think there's a reason for that because they know they couldn't stand on any crimes that have been committed here. >...

Has not actually invoked executive privilege. it's kind of silly that he's making that point. moreover, the general idea that you must go to the courts first is simply missing from the constitution. the constitution doesn't say before you can impeach you have to have the judiciary clear or anything. it's solely within the house's power to bring the impeachment, and it's solely the duty of the senate to try the case, and they don't want to do that. >> and what would this trial look like without witnesses? >> without witnesses, it looks something like a mishmash between a motion to dismiss a cas...
