we've known for several weeks how this is going to turn out, and david muir, i want to bring you in on that, because one of the things we're seeing here is, both sides, voters in the country, taking their cues from their leaders, falling in behind their leaders. president trump on the republican side, nancy pelosi taking the lead for the democrats. >> yeah, somewhat baked in at this point. terry makes a good point about exhaustion. we hear about it when we're traveling the country. i was struck watching this play out with you today, george, about howdy sli divided this co is and reflects the divided country at this point. two starkly different arguments coming out of congress. democrats who say this is a president who used the power of the office for personal political gain to influence the upcoming election and there's an urgency with 2020 quickly approaching. and you heard it from liz cheney there moments ago, republicans saying, you know, where is the direct evidence of any crime here and warning that this kind of partisan ship, you know, people remember the clinton impeachment as h

david muir here, we have been paying attention to those 31 democrats who live in districts where donald trump won back in 2016. one by one by one, they have come out in support of impeachment. >> one of those is elissa slotkin. she talked at a vocal town hall. she said she poured over the everyday from the democrats and the republican rebuttal very carefully. she talked about the desk that once belonged to her grandfather. what this came down to for her that the u.s. often will say what's expected of a u.s. ally when giving aid. in the national interests. she said for her this was not the national interest, this was president trump's interest in re-election and she said, listen, if it costs me my job so be it. >> democrats falling in line behind impeachment. republicans falling in line behind the president. the only former republican to vote for impeachment justin aa mash. the president has unified the republican party here. you can feel not only the president but his campaign to make hey of it. >> he's really hoping to unify his base and the campaign is capitalizing on this. they belie

david muir, adam schiff did directly address that question as to why they're going so fast, it's to protect the next election. >> we heard it all day yesterday in those nine hours of contentious hearings, republicans making their final case before this was to happen, along with democrats as well, but the republican argument has been a fast track of impeachment, even though you point out the clinton impeachment was fewer days. you heard adam schiff say the central argument for republicans have been why not just wait until you get the witnesses that you want from the white house. he tried to draw parallel to don mcgahn waiting eight months. we know they could probably speed that up in an impeachment inquiry but he said if we wait several more months for these witnesses, these documents, essentially the argument amounts to why deent yon't you let him in one more election. >> let's bring in our legal team. terry moran mentioned it, we saw the speaker go straight to the constitution. the democrats want to explain to the american people now this is what the founders envisioned when they were talk

david muir is here. we're seeing those four constitutional scholars now taking their seats. >> very different. these are not fact witnesses. they will be asked, was the president's conduct impeachable? you see them there. four witnesses. noah feldman from harvard law, pamela karlan, michael gerhardt, and jonathan turley. turley is the republican-called witness, and he has talked about the president before, and he has talked about the democrats. he's been critical about the democrats, at their handling of the inquiry saying an impeachment that seems designed to fail with an incomplete and conflicted record. he has a very lengthy opening statement, george. 53 pages. noah feldman wrote about the president too. abuse of power is a sitting president to use his office for personal gain. using ukraine to investigate biden and gain an advantage in the election, that abuse of power, and he was clear, is a high crime and misdemeanor. it merits impeachment. this is a return paerappearance him, and he played a role

. >> and i'm david muir.

david muir, what are some of the key things we see at issue during the presentations so far? was the president pursuing an anti-corruption agenda in ukraine or investigating his opponents? >> a stark contrast today. the republicans have been so criticized for pointing to the process, arguing the time line, saying we haven't had our own witnesses even though the white house has blocked many of those witnesses. what we heard from stephen castor this morning, he within the to the phone call. this is fairly rare in defense of the president, but he said, when it comes to that phone call, it causes no pressure. president zelensky didn't voice any discomfort. he wasn't asking for a favor, but assistance in helping our country move forward from the divisiveness of the collusion investigation. we heard daniel goldman, and you want to put this paragraph nef next to that one. he said, president trump did not discuss matters of importance to the united states such as rooting out corruption. he quickly veered into the personal favor ept hadded frhe zelensky, to help his re-election, and s
