Came through a corrupt process. doesn t seem like it s working. as mitch mcconnell said, there is no cost to him in delaying a senate trial. he doesn t want to hold one and if it were up to him, i think he would be ready to move to dismiss the charges at the earliest point. julie: how is it going to play out? do you think nancy pelosi will deliver their articles? does she have to? eventually she will have to send the articles of impeachment to the senate mainly because she s going to come under a lot of pressure from democrats. if you look at people like senator klobuchar and booker who were on the sunday shows, they were say we want to trial and we must come to a deal. not incidentally, they are both running for president. let s remember the longer this trial goes, the last time the senators running for president will have to spend in iowa and new hampshire. there s different interests at work. if pelosi doesn t send the articles, looks like a fake ....
Process. do you think she s playing this correctly? no, i don t. i don t think the speaker has much leverage at all here actually. i think this is a tactical error. the speaker has taken a hostage. there s an old saying, don t take a hostage if you re not prepared to shoot it. she is not going to shoot these articles of impeachment. she will transmit them to the senate at some point. that said, i do think that the senate should not rush to trial. i think they should hear from some witnesses, but pelosi doesn t have the leverage. senator schumer does, and i suspect he won t reach an agreement with senator mcconnell on witnesses and this will go to the floor, and then a lot of these members are going to have to put up some hard votes. why do you think schumer has leverage? into because in the senate you need 60 votes to do just about anything it seems, and in this case maybe you ll need 51, but that said, i think that some of the swing state republicans, you know, have to think very ....
President. is there anything new that adds to the narrative exactly what happened here or change it in any way? i think the fact that they had emailed only two hours after the president s phone call. omb says it s a coincidence and it very well may be, but we don t know what michael duffey was thinking. why he emailed exactly then, and mitch mcconnell doesn t want a whole you know, have any more witnesses and there may even be no senate trial if pelosi doesn t send those articles of impeachment. so we re kind of left in the dark exactly why duffy was emailing so closely after that presidential phone call. you said you read all 146 pages of t based on those conversations that you read in knows emails do you get the sense that those involved felt that the hold could be problematic? i think a lot of people probably felt like they were wondering why they had this ....
