john bolton? >> well, lawrence, we're just 48 hours after this bombshell that john bolton said he is willing to testifylch on it, which is quite remarkable and it says a lot about where the republican senators are. you played a clip from rand paul saying how are people insulting the founders and insulting the constitution when it comes to war powers? i think the same question can be asked here. mcconnell is trying to proceed without even a guarantee that any witness, even john bolton, will be called to testify. and i can't think of something more kind of antithetical to the founders' idea. after all, the constitution requires them to try an impeachment case. i've never heard of a trial without witnesses. i don't know what's next for mcconnell. is he going to be like a supreme court confirmation hearing, shouldn't have a nominee or something like that? i don't know. i mean, we're getting to the point of the absurd. i'm glad to see mitt romney say there should be witnesses but it is a really striking thing. to get to your question why, i think there's only one reason. i mean, we know that john bolton fro

have an option, a way of coming out of that john bolton deposition and then asking for a subpoena for someone else? >> well, that's the big question, lawrence. whether we're going to get any witness like john bolton and whether we're able to follow the trail of incriminating evidence to other witnesses. which is exactly why last night the last amendment we proposed was an amendment that i put forward essentially saying that the chief justice should make the decisions in the first instance on motions for witnesses and motions for documents. you would think if our senate republican colleagues wanted an impartial proceeding they would support that. and when they voted against that they made it very clear they want to rig this process. now, i may offer that amendment again later in this process if we get witnesses. and let's let the chief justice decide just like the judge in every trial around the country decides what evidence comes in, what's probative and what's not. and republicans may have voted against this once but i think they're getting a lot of questions about why they're unwilling to take the chief justice of the united states, who b
