as you said earlier it's unclear if they will do article one and article two against mayorkas together those two articles of impeachment one that he violated the trust of the united states, the others that he broke the law, whether they would have one swoop vote there and dismissive all at once or have individual votes on them at the end. there's a final vote to end of the tribal wants important here again martha is that they're probably going to beat no votes to render judgement on maid weather he is guilty or innocent over those charges to be convicted. i would like to remind everybody, in the senate, in the senate impeachment trial, it takes 67 votes, two thirds to remove somebody. human if that was on the table that probably would not happen. but we should have this wrapped up. and might be imminent, we are making this up as we go along, maybe in the next hour, maybe the democrat from new york said heat -- she was overheard on the floor that she thought this was going to be wrapped up by 7:00 tonight. >> martha: really quick question, quick question, when you think about the differ
