hugh: it is tricky in europe.g about the completion of the banking uni on, and there seems to be so many hurdles to getting that through. for european companies, the merge is proving to be really hard. for european value to outperform, you need to see a cyclical upswing in global growth, and pushing back into 2017 type of scenario where inflation takes hold. matt: what do you make of blackrock's commitment to sustainable investment, and esd general?l -- esg in is this a move that will help? hugh: it absolutely has to be. the esg investment focus will be at the forefront of 2020. there has been a shift over the last 12 to 18 months, where a couple of years ago it felt like my client whereas now conversations are about the need to focus on esg aggressively. that is the case of the underlying investment preferences. their clients are demanding more options, but also the changes we are seeing in consumer demand. take a single use plastic producer as an example. five years ago that could have been profitable, but when

i'm a lawyer, maybe not as good as hugh.g of the house's brief is that they state really clearly, i think, a strong constitutional argument in the beginning of the brief that lays out the history of impeachment, really reminding us that high crimes and misdemeanors was left to the definition of the legislators. it doesn't mean the breaking of the law. they talk specifically about the abuse -- abuse of power allegations and that the abuse of power is exactly the kind of abuse of public trust that the founders had in mind. and so i think it's a really strong and compelling argument. and the question is whether there's going to be a fair trial so that democrats can really present the argument against the president. >> one quick question on the obstruction article. in hindsight should they have waited longer to file that one and fought in the courts or use mueller's obstructions to strengthen that article? >> no, i actually think that the article is strong on its face with the evidence. would it have been bolstered if witnesses

donna and hugh, i want you to deal with this statement from the president's legal team.s is the summons. the articles of impeachment are constitutionally invalid on their face. they fail to allege any crime or violation of law whatsoever, let alone high crimes and misdemeanors as required by the constitution. hugh, you're a lawyer. technically, this sentence is not ak raccuraaccurate. the house impeached. you may not like what they did, but it's constitutionally valid, you just may not like what they did. >> i think they were trying to convey exactly that. i read last night the house manager's trial memorandum and their entire statement of trial facts. i do not believe they did anything that rose to a level of offense for impeachment at all. in fact, they contradict their own allegation which is at the beginning. the president was attempting to influence the 2020 election. they cite in their own statement of material of fact, it was in text. i don't think they'll get the witnesses now. they do not have a case in article 2. i think it was silly. there was no impeachable o
