analyst and former us federal prosecutor. he joins us now live eric getting to you as of a pleasure to have you on the program president trump decides not to attend his own impepeachmenent hearing. is thia clever decision or reckless will. it's a decision that he made probably with the- overall perspective in mind. that there's nothing that anybody could say on his behalf at the hearing that would be. useful to him so he it would be better off for him to continue to attack the legitimacy. of the entire proceeding even though the proceedings are being conducted pursuant to. historical rules and procedures that were actually most recently updated. by his own political party the republicans. but that not withstanding. he and his allies in the republican party have been attacking the proceedings. on procedural not so much substantive grounds. from the beginning and this is consistent with that. the problem with with where it is inconsistent. is that he's also

been complaining that he doesn't have the opportunity to speak directly through his. personal lawyer as a police as opposed to republican. spokespeople he doesn't have enough of a say in who the witnesses are. but here when he is directly invited to do that. he's saying no i don't want to do it. on the one hand it looks like he's obviously conceding his guilt in the affair. on the other hand it might be construed by his local participants. as supporting the contention that. this is some sort of an illegitimate inquiry so i'm not taking part. they're in the house of representatives judiciary committee that marked the next to the probe with legal experts giving. could lead to avoid impeachment have you had enough in your opinion the thing that such a vote could take place. oh yes there is been- an overwhelming amount of evidence if it was presented in a court of law governed by rules of. criminal procedure despite what the president and

his spokespeople have been saying there is quite enough there for a judge to charge a jury that they could convict. and in all likelihood an impartial jury would convict even be on the very high american legal criminal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt here we don't have to meet that standard. it doesn't have to do with the level of proof doesn't even have to be that higigh. but it is important to lay it out in as transparent away as possible and in a way that convinces as many- ets citizens that are- want to be informed as possible as to what is going on. so it is necessary to go t through thiss process ad there is in fact a lot of work to do in terms of narrowing down or streamlining the evidence to fit into. very specific charges that meet the constitutional definition of what is impeachment which is bribery treason high crimes and misdemeanors those are the

specific phrases used in the united states constitution. so we will going by what the. sure i can we'll be going by. historical precedent and legal precedent exists it's not a whole lot to tailor the overwhelming amount of factual evidence that has been. produced to fit into thehese categories but the president is fighting this tooth and nail and he's in. complete denial and so are as allies as to what some of these factual statements actually are yet they do prove prefer to attack it on procedural or legitimacy grounds. seeking that the substantive grounds are not at all helping them. listen the non thank you very much indeed. next call twenty five is open in madrid with a message to world leaders. not to be on the wrong side of history over the climate a lot. the team fell to the routine notable absentees us president donald trump and the president's persosonal jabal senado. both could have a major
