both houses in that era were republican. both houses during the other trial of andrew johnson were republican. this is the first time we ve seen a congress of one party in the house and the other party in the senate facing an impeachment trial. that means we re in fresh territory. we ve never seen this before. we ll see how nancy pelosi handles it and what kind of precedent it sets, whether she s able to leverage something with senator mcconnell. remember, very few people have leverage over senator mcconnell. senator schumer might want to in the senate but he doesn t have the votes. the few people who do at this point might be nancy pelosi in the house in terms of the delivery of these articles and a handful of republicans in the senate perhaps like susan collins or lisa murkowski who might insist on a more fulsome version of a trial rather than looking like they re simply slamming it to a quick con kooug conclusion. those are people who would influence senator mcconnell s choice as we
handled by the speaker of the house prior to this kind of what s supposed to be the on-passing of the articles of impeachment. yeah, exactly. 21 years ago today henry hyde the chairman of the house judiciary committee led a delegation of house republicans immediately from the house chamber over to the senate chamber across the capitol on r the same day as the vote to r deliver the articles of impeachment to the senate.r hm you didn t see that happen today and you may not see it happen tomorrow or even in a couple of days. and the difference is of course both houses in that era were e republican. both houses during the other ic trial of andrew johnson were republican. this is the first time we ve seen a congress of one party in the house and the other party in the senate facing an impeachment trial. that means we re in fresh territory. we ve never seen this before. we ll see how nancy pelosi handles it and what kind of precedent it sets, whether she s able to leverage something with s

finally before you go i d like your take on this because it was an interesting interview done yesterday on abc with current republican congressman tom mcclintock. he said it would be useful and to the, quote, president s advantage to have john bolton and mick mulvaney testify. do you agree that would be to the president s advantage given we know what mick mulvaney at least said at the lectern about a quid pro quo. well, i think that it could be, but i believe that the question there is on the privilege around the people in the white house that are that close to the president and the precedent it sets. on the other hand i don t know and a good lawyer would never say whether you re going to call a particular witness unless you knew what they were going to say in advance. i don t know what they re going to say, the president s attorneys presumably do know that. what i do know is that this whole thing has been spun for weeks now to try to get a reason to radio he move the president. i m
