Carl Bernstein, a Watergate journalist and a CNN political analyst, shared some wisdom ahead of today's impeachment inquiry hearing.

"No one knows what is going to happen in the coming weeks or months, except likely impeachment by the House, because of the Democratic majority," he told CNN's Brian Stelter.

He also mentioned what could come after the impeachment inquiry — that is, a possible impeachment trial in the Senate.

"As for the results of a Senate trial or the remainder of Trump's term or the 2020 election, anything is possible," he said.

Stelter asked Bernstein to share what we should all keep in mind today and in the weeks ahead.

He started by saying this: Speculation about what might happen "is not the commodity we in news should be looking for right now. Rather, this is a time for more reporting, especially new avenues opened from the Ukraine facts now known to us. There’s a lot to pursue, both substance and individuals we ought to be talking to — many of the latter apparently out of reach of the impeachment inquiry because of various privileges claimed by the White House and other lawyers."
