but it also gives donald trump a break, because he then gets to see the evidence as it is presented. and he also has the advantage that he will now have at least three versions of it. the grand jury version with that the witnesses gave, the trial one version, and if there s any difference between the two, he gets to exploit that at his own trial. so he gets an advantage from this. so there s a lot of strategy going on right now as to what each of them is thinking. and then, of course, the removal part is another element that has to be considered. and the removal and the explanation that they were acting at his direction means that they re splintering in terms of pointing fingers. but it also means that they re admitting they did this, and don t they remember the nuremberg defense didn t work? it won t work here either. you cannot do an illegal act and simply say it wasn t order.
i ll be severed from donald trump s trial by joining this early trial date. because donald trump is going to delay, delay, delay, divert, that is his pattern and practice. and so i ll be tried separately, and that gives me a break. but it also gives donald trump a break, because he then gets to see the evidence as it is presented. and he also has the advantage that he will now have at least three versions of it. the grand jury version with that the witnesses gave, the trial one version, and if there s any difference between the two, he gets to exploit that at his own trial. so he gets an advantage from this. so there s a lot of strategy going on right now as to what each of them is thinking. and then, of course, the removal part is another element that has to be considered. and the removal and the explanation that they were acting at his direction means that they re splintering in terms of pointing fingers. but it also means that they re

look. trump s impeachment standing. impeached removed from office 50%. 46% say no. but just on impeaching him, forgetting the removal part, 54% say yes, 41% say no. so a pretty clear majority in this fox news poll on impeaching him. there s also a cbs poll that says roughly the same thing. 46% say yes, 39% say no. again, a clear plurality there. if impeaches and the senate remove, much closer number there. convict to remove 42%, don t convict or don t hold a trial 42%. so on that particular question, the removal much closer. two notable things here. one is you point out very static. very, very, very, very static. you could set your watch to this. keeps on ticking. look at this. impeach and removal from office, november 16th to december 15th
that would be helpful for everyone. and abby, there is a new quinnipiac poll out today and this is a different question, asked if president trump should be impeached and removed from office. not just the inquiry but impeached and removed from office, 45% of the american people say yes and 49% say no. so there isn t this zest to get him out of office even if people do want the inquiry to begin. it does suggest that people do understand the removal part of this is a step further and they are not quite ready to go there yet. i wish some of the polls would ask both questions separately. so that we could have a sense of whether people want the inquiry and removal or just the inquiry and not removal. but we ll take it up with the pollsters later. i think it is important for us to note that while all of these numbers are kind of a little bit noisy went the noisy between the polls, but they suggest people are uncomfortable about the behavior they know about outlined and that is another s
