elizabeth warren. >> yeah. and it reminds us why you're right, lawrence, to exhort us to look back at the nixon and clinton experiencesn experience and the clinton impeachment had in common was both parties agreed on the facts of the case. the resolutions were different. nixon cut it off by resigning. and clinton, the judgment was that his behavior was reprehensible but didn't rise to the level of removal. now, here we have a dispute about the facts and about whe s whether facts matter. you know, if i were the democrats, i would be looking at the impeachment that neither gene nor i is old enough to have covered and that was andrew skrons. and johnson. and i think that's the democrats' paradigm that probably they would think would be their deepest desire, that is, that the impeachment fails in the senate but the presidency is destroyed. and that's the stakes that we're in right now. i thought the "post" story was fascinating. i read it just before we came on. but i frankly don't see that as something that the republicans are going to be willing to gamble on because every time the evidence is expanded, deepened, spread
