what happened was so many house democrats came to the speaker and said this has reached the threshold for impeachment. we need you to make a statement. we need house democrats to make a formal statement. so politically, she was showing solidarity with them, while letting the committees still work out the exact process. >> in terms of that process and in terms of democrats' commitment to not just opening an inquiry, but potentially bringing articles of impeachment and had some kind of vote on impeachment, how much now in terms of their political thinking on this, how much is going to depend on what happens when that transcript is released tomorrow? apparently what happens when the whistleblower's complaint is heard? how much will dictate whether this leads to democrats having a vote here? >> i think those are the most important things that will dictate whether or not that happens. the transcript, of course, is helpful. democrats have said that's simply not enough.
