An indignant van der Veen responded, “I don’t know how many civil lawyers are here, but that’s the way it works, folks,” apparently unaware that an impeachment trial has different standards than civil trials in a state court. He then went on to describe a deposition order in a civil case saying, “That’s civil process. I don’t know why you’re laughing!”
