i'm reminded of my time on the house judiciary committee during the 1990s impeachment and a a number of federal judges. s. i was guided then not only by the facts, but by the constitution and the duty to serve this nation. i believe, as we greet you today, that we are charged with a sober and somber responsibility. so professor, i'd like you to look at the intelligence volume where hundreds of documents are behind that. and the mooueller report. you studied the record. to you think it is, quote, wafer thin and can you remark on the strength of the record before us. >> so obviously, it's not wafer thin. and the strength of the record is not just in the september -- i mean, the july 25th call. i i think the wit you need to ask this is how does that fit into the pattern of behavior by the president. what you're really doing is you're drawing inferences here. this is about circumstanctial evidence and did the president ask for a political favor? and i think this record supports the inference that he did. >> what comparisons, professor, can we make between the framers were afraid of. and the president's condu
