joining me now, impeachment expert, attorney ross garber. >> good to see you. >> let's break this downors. did the president rise to that level yesterday? >> the constitutional standard for impeachment is treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. the question is, was what he did treason? treason is actually defined in the constitution. it's a rare offense in that way. it's defined. the definition refers to aiding enemies. the question is, is russia our enemy? the answer is, it may be an adversary, it may be a foe, it may even be a competitor as the president said. it's not an enemy. we are not at war with russia. technically, no, there was no treason that happened yesterday. >> why is it, when it comes to this standard, if you will, when you talk about treason and high crimes and misdemeanors, why is the president's motivation key to these questions? >> the reason why his motivation is key is the standard for impeachment is treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. high crimes and misdemeanors is not defined in the constitution, in the law, anyplace. you h
