great to see you. thank you for being here. let me ask but that basic question. from the very beginning, from the whistle-blower s complaint we knew there were serious allegations but also about actions in the white house to it seems cover it up to make sure evidence of the president s behavior wasn t easily accessible. is there something in history we should see in terms of giving us some echoes or giving us some things to watch for how those two different sides would interact? i think one would be the watergate scandal with nixon. and the way that the investigation really began is as you know there was a break in at the watergate, and one of the people who broke in was a guy named james mccoy and he wrote a letter to the suggest saying he
