Important ones those sitting on the day us today or frankly those watching the hearings. Zach johnson julie that. Many times so you cant judge a prison with struction until the corps weighed in on those disputes you agree with that. And i dont i do actually respect and agree with what alex said though and ill say that i think that if this information had been presented say 20 or 30 years ago and you have covered a lot of president s a lot of presidencies i think there would be actually unanimity both on the diocese and within the American Public that what happened was in peach a bowl but things have changed and sort of this sense of what a fact is and this ability to obfuscate this ability to have ecosystems within the media sphere of really changed a lot of that and so i dont i. Believe that the country would be divided on what actually happened if we were just able to take a couple steps back in time but where we are now i think its very difficult so i completely agree with alex that
What actually happened if we were just able to take a couple steps back in time where we are now i think its very difficult so i completely agree with alex that i dont think that anybodys minds were changed this week during the hearing but i also believe that it doesnt change the underlying fact that what the president has done since the beginning of his presidency is tear at the fabric of the presidency and all norms and really walk up to the boundaries of the law hes been challenge repeatedly in the courts and is lost on a lot of his in his administrations actions and i think the democrats are going to move forward with an impeachment that will ultimately die in the senate i think is the is one strum said to me of thing even.

Its my happy duty to introduce and moderate the second panel. Let me just begin by introducing myself briefly. Im bill galston. Delighted to be a small cog in in the Service Alliance machine that produced this meeting. I want to thank two people in particular. Belle sawhill for conceiving of this day and working tirelessly over a period of at least six months to bring it about.
