into this peaceful little habitat came william johnson. jefferson's first appointment to the court. where one can only begin to speculate about how he was licking his chops at the opportunity to put someone on the court who was not a federalist. and in particular, who was not john marshall, his distant cousin who he, quite frankly, despised. was amity between the two leitmotif from the 1790's on. indeed, in a strangely prophetic letter to james madison in 1790, he complained about marshall and said we need to find something better to do with him to get him out of the way. "nothing could be better done than to make him a judge." well, that which became true, much to jefferson's chagrin. the theory would be that william johnson would be an ardent supporter of the jeffersonian approach to things. one small problem -- they selected him on the recommendation of the secretary of the treasury, his name sent to the senate, confirmed, james madison sent him a letter saying congratulations, would you accept? a rather strange pattern in those days. no due diligence was overtaken and they were

you did a reading for today based on a treaty conference that william johnson was having in niagara and in detroit. if you paid attention, you saw whenever johnson or indian contemporaries were making a speech, the points of the speech were punctuated by wampum strings or belts. these became devices not just for offering condolences and initiating treaty proceedings, but also devices to make your meaning clear to an audience that perhaps did not speak the same language as you do. generally speaking, the larger the belt, the bigger the point you were making. that is when you read the johnson document, you see references to a large belt, a belt of this many strings versus a belt of that many strings. the wampum created its own message. this is a wampum belt that has human figures that are linking arms, holding hands, they look like paper cutout dolls. that image of linkage, whether it is human figures are a chain or geometric design like diamonds are rectangles, is meant to emphasize a certain parity, volitional alliance, it emphasizes not hierarchy, but a design that says we are all lega

william wheeler, hannibal hamlet and eldritch gary. no one could protect that an assassin would shoot abraham lincoln and in the place of the great amancipator, make a lifelong slaveholder president. i should not criticize johnson. i do not criticize johnson in every way. he was patriotic, he was incorruptible. his idea of how to reconstruct the union was that presidents should do it by executive action and it was none of congress's business. a very good reconstruction could be made by ignoring the former slaves rights beyond a simple freedom. when congress try to put her a civil rights bill, johnson vetoed it and when it proposed a 14th amendment, johnson could not be to it that he did his best to keep it from being passed. it could be said that as a result of this, congress decided that it could make new deal with the president. in 1867, over johnson's veto, it went through a series of acts to force the creation of elections by black and white men alike to create constitutions based on the equal protection of the law. if those constitutions were passed by a majority of all the registered voters and if the two governments then adopted the 14th amendment, they would be in the union as good as they had ever been

from ron johnson, republican senator head of the homeland security committee which he suggested there were members of the administration, he might well have been talking about vindman and williams to the degree they go after these two as never-trumpers or deep state operatives, it will be interesting to see how they do it. as bret pointed out it's a little touchy, it's a little delicate when you get to lieutenant colonel vindman who -- has served in the military for two decades. two, a survivor of an ied attack in iraq. ended up getting a purple heart for that. i think it will be very interesting to see how republicans and how directly and aggressively they go after the two witnesses this morning. sandra: walk to bring bret back in here. the hearing room is being filled up. the public attendees will enter hearing room. chairman adam schiff will gavel in and hearing will be underway. what makes this week obviously with two witnesses they were on the call. congressman hurd talking to bill a few moments ago, we will hear opinions from these two witnesses on what they heard on that phone call. the gop strategy had been to talk about hearsay last week with many of the witnesses. wha
