0:00.0	Hey everybody, this is Dan Clydeman, Editor-in-Chief of Yahoo News and co-hosts of Skull
0:03.8	Duggery. Just wanted to let you know that this will be our last episode of the podcast
0:08.0	until the new year, but we will be back for more Skull Duggery and we're looking forward
0:13.3	to being back with you. What happens if you vote to impeach a president and then you don't
0:20.5	send the articles of impeachment over to the Senate for a trial? Is the president actually impeached?

1:30.1	crop. I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostage. My heart and my best
1:35.1	intention still tell me that's true but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not. I did not have
1:42.2	sexual elicence for that woman. There will be no lies. We will honor the American people with the
1:50.3	truth and nothing else. I'm Michael Isigoff, Chief of Investigative Correspondent for Yahoo News.
2:01.2	And I'm Dan Clyde, Minister of Chief of Yahoo News. So you know we thought we had completely
