will begin formal consideration of these articles of impeachment. a connection for your viewers between what we re watching right now and ultimately the impeachment in the senate hearings to come. we re watching a coming traction today in lindsey graham. we re hearing the attack that we re likely to see in the senate trial during impeachment on the origins of the case. if you make that go away, if you undermine how the fbi worked this case, you make the whole russian problem go away. it s not accurate. it s not going to work. but we re seeing a trailer, basically, on what the senate trial could look like. what i was thinking was you can t make ukraine go away. to the extent they re trying to reinforce, to frank s point, they ve just been out to get trump. this really has nothing to do. there s nothing to see here about trump s abuse of power. what we should be doing is looking at our own law enforcement, our own national
