i think they may rethink their strategy should that start to crumble. right now the strategy is this is about the do-nothing democrats, as they say. this is a kangaroo court, as stephanie said. and the republicans, if you notice, continued to defend the white house not saying what donald trump did is okay, but rather talking about democrats and saying, you know, they wanted to get rid of him since he was elected and this is nancy pelosi's revenge and all the rest of it. so should that support that he now has change, and i think it's softer than it was during mueller, obviously, because they're not defending donald trump on the issue. should that change, then maybe donald trump's strategy will change. but right now i think he continues to stonewall and say, okay, add another article to impeachment. >> they're not defending the substance, they're attacking the process. >> no, not at all. >> john dean, to you, i was asking congressman carson
