investigation, it may take us to a place that is unavoidable in terms of impeachment, or not. for more on the strategy and the president s reaction, i m joined by betsy woodruff and aaron blake from the washington post. betsy, i m confused by the standoff and it s like the princess bride trying to figure out which is the poison chalice. if you think that i think that you think that i think that you are telling me to drink this one. he thinks the president is try to goad her into impeachment. the president thinks its nancy. i m losing track of who is doing what. it s not just checkers. it s 3d not checkers. i chatted about this with the democratic staffer.
