DEMOCRAT APPEARED ON BEHALF OF

THE REPUBLICANS.

NOAH FELDMAN, FROM THE HARVARD

LAW SCHOOL, APPEARED BEFORE THE

HOUSE ON DECEMBER 4.

REMEMBER HIM?

WELL HE HAS WRITTEN, GERALDO, IN

BLOOMBERG TODAY, THAT BECAUSE

NANCY PELOSI HAS NOT PASSED THE

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT TO THE

SENATE, THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT

BEEN IMPEACHED.

HE WRITES, MR. FELDMAN, IF THE

HOUSE DOES NOT COMMUNICATE IT'S

IMPEACHMENT TO THE SENATE, IT

HASN'T ACTUALLY IMPEACHED THE

PRESIDENT.

IF THE ARTICLES ARE NOT TRANSMIT

TED, TRUMP COULD

LEGITIMATELY SAY THAT HE WASN'T

TRULY IMPEACHED AT ALL.

SO, UNTIL NANCY PELOSI HITS "

SEND" HE'S NOT IMPEACHED

ACCORDING TO NOAH.

>> GERALDO: WELL PROFESSOR FEL

DMAN'S ARTICLE, IT'S IN THE

NEW YORK TIMES AS WELL AND BEING

WIDELY CIRCULATED AND IT REALLY

DOES APPEAR READING ARTICLE ONE

AND TWO IN CONJUNCTION, YOU KNOW

THE PROVISIONS HAVING TO DO WITH

IMPEACHMENT, THAT IMPEACHMENT IS

NOT YET RIGHT.

IT'S NOT IMPEACHMENT UNLESS AND

UNTIL THE HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES AFTER THE VOTE

WHO WE HAVE HAD AFTER THE VOTE

BY A MAJORITY PASSES THE

ARTICLES ON TO THE SENATE, CARR

IED BY THE MANAGERS OF THE

PROPOSED PERSPECTIVE TRIAL IN

THE SENATE.

IN OTHER WORDS HERE YOU HAVE

IMPEACHMENT WHICH IS LIKE AN

INDICTMENT BUT AN INDICTMENT

NEVER DELIVERED TO THE SUSPECT,

OR TO THE TRIBUNAL, THAT IS

GOING TO LITIGATE IT, SO IT IS,

I BELIEVE, THAT PROFESSOR FELD

MAN IS RIGHT AND IT'S NOT

IMPEACHMENT YET.

NANCY PELOSI, WHO HAS BEEN

RUTHLESS AND BRILLIANT IN HER

RUTHLESSNESS IN MANAGING THIS

IMPEACHMENT WITH NO REPUBLICAN

VOTES WHATSOEVER, SHE RESISTED

IT BECAUSE SHE KNEW HOW TOUGH IT

WOULD BE, FINALLY SHE YIELDED TO

THE MOST RADICAL ELEMENTS IN HER

CAUCUS, SHE HAD THE VOTES, SHE

KEPT HER CAUCUS MORE OR LESS

TOGETHER, AND THAT I WAS VERY, I

WAS ADMIRING OF THAT.

SHE'S THE REAL TOUGH LADY AND

HIGHLY SKILLED AS A POLITICIAN,

BUT NOW THE PROCESS HAS TRAPPED

HER.

SHE WAS TRYING TO NEGOTIATE A

FULL BLOWN TRIAL WITH WITNESSES.

SHE WANTED TO DO HER BEST TO

UNDO THE APPARENT INEVITIBILITY

OF AN ACQUITTAL BY THE

REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE

SENATE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE

JURORS SO NANCY PELOSI TRYING

HER BEST TO GUM IT UP AND MAKE

IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE

PRESIDENT, WHO NOW APPEARS TO

HAVE AN EASY PATH TO ACQUITTAL

IN A REPUBLICAN-DOMINATED SENATE

SO SHE'S TRIED TO WITHHOLD,

SHE'S TRYING TO NEGOTIATE THE

TERMS, HAVE WITNESSES, CALL THE

PRESIDENT, THIS OR THAT, BUT THE

PROCESS AS PROFESSOR FELDMAN HAS
