1. From the article:

“We’re told the president got a heads up about this,” Bash told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin. “So what does that tell you? It is all part of the same, the same thing that goes with the [Trump] tweet you just read, which is, what the president and his close allies on Capitol Hill is attacking the process.”

Bash further explained: “That is part and parcel of the way that they are trying to keep the base in the fold, Republicans in the fold. The biggest concern, when you look at public opinion by people in the president’s world is that the Republicans start to slip more and more on the question of impeachment, and by attacking the process, with people who are recognizable to many in the Republican base, that is a direct attempt to keep those Republicans in the fold.”

The article also said this debacle had been on the Republicans' calendar for a week.
