Summary
Thom catches us up with the fun and the fury of the impeachment trial so far- as the Democrats catch the Republicans unprepared to answer to the truth of Trump's crimes. But will there be a fair trial with witnesses, or will Trump continue to 'have all the material' hidden away from the light of day? Thom adds his insight as we hear briefly from Adam Shiff's powerful indictment of Donald Trump's crimes.
And, looking ahead, how can the Democratic party start to think about working productively together- do we need to be voting in the primaries for a hard-ass who will keep Congress in line so we can get work done for justice? Thom reads from "Code Red: How Progressives and Moderates Can Unite to Save Our Country" by E. J. Dionne Jr.

| 0:50.6 | in a moment. A vote that against an honest consideration of the |
| 0:54.4 | evidence against the president. A vote against an honest trial, a vote against the |
| 0:59.1 | United States. So here's Nadler accusing Republican senators of voting against the United States. |
| 1:05.2 | That's a breach of decorum, right? |
| 1:07.7 | You know, I wrote an op-ed years ago saying that Dick Cheney was a war criminal. |

| 1:19.3 | read it on the floor of the house, |
