. >> joining me now, political columnist amy holmes, former speechwriter for bill frist and michellepresident and ceo of the bernard center for women, politics, and public policy. ladies, welcome to you both. amy, you first here. haven't democrats dismantled all of those defenses that congressman jordan listed? >> well, i wouldn't agree with that, since in point of fact, ukraine did not engage in an investigation of former vice president joe biden or his son hunter biden and the military aid was released, which is sort of the crux of the accusations against president trump at the moment. and we saw that coming out in the hearings this week. i think the bottom line here is that democrats have overreached when it comes to the impeachment process, which you know, presumably, they hope would lead to the removal of president trump from office. had they instead gone down the censure path, i think, alex, they would have gotten a lot of republican buy-in, actually, and this wouldn't be such a partisan process. >> i'm curious, michelle, what do you think it says that republicans are still, af

joining me now to discuss it, michelle bernard, president and ceo of the bernard center for women, politics, and public policy, and political columnist amy holmesill frist. ladies, let's get into it here. michelle, you first, because you heard a handful of the big moments from the hours of testimony. that includes both witnesses and lawmakers. as you've looked back on all this, who would you say stood out as the best and even the worst throughout the hearings in your mind? >> i mean, resoundingly for me, the best was absolutely dr. fiona hill. quite frankly, i thought all of the best people that testified this week were, quite frankly, women. but fiona hill was above and beyond anything anyone could have ever, ever expected. from the beginning she spoke saying that she was an american citizen by choice. she sort of grabbed the nation's imagination because you're thinking that this is a woman who came to the united states because of everything that we stood for and that we stand for, or at least are supposed to stand for. and the way she schooled the members of congress, both democratic and republican, and demonstrated her clear knowledge about
