>> here is what i see, i think that speaker pelosi is acting in a manner that's insincere even by the standards of congress, i think she's turning impeachment into a routine political weapon. i think nobody is above the law but nobody is beneath it and i find it unconscionable that they have not allowed the president to defend themselves on the house side, can't call witnesses, can't offer rebuttal evidence, in terms of the substance, i think the quid pro quo is a red hairing, i think there are two issues in this case, number 1, according to speaker pelosi president trump asked for the investigation of a political rival. there's another scenario, and that is that president trump asked for an investigation of possible corruption by someone who happens to be a political rival.
