Jeopardy? how much is he going to be a reliable witness at this point? but to michaels point its an important point. i am also exhausted at the end of this day. i watched every word of it. i watched every word of the previous two days last week. its not the senate trial, right? thats when you would have a prosecutor lay out a case in the way that youre suggesting adam schiff do. >> its got to be obvious. this has to be obvious. how big is sondland tomorrow? >> huge. hes the biggest witness thus ...

The implementation there is there was a quid pro quo. he lays out that he told the ukrainians that they werent going to get the aid unless they investigated the bidens. that, in fact, is pr sh. that is, in fact, leaning on somebody, a shakedown or what you would call a quid pro quo. so youre talking about threading the needle by suggesting it wasnt the bidens. how else do you think that sondland could navigate this without ending up in legal jeopardy? i talked to jim baker a little while ago. ba...

Had made to both mr. yermak and the email i had sent to secretary pompeo and we were sort of ruminating about what was going on and senator johnson i believe said im going to call president trump, you know, and find out. then he obviously had that phone call. i wasnt involved in that phone call. >> okay. but you have no reason to disbelieve that wasnt the way it went down, right? >> no reason to disbelieve senator johnson. >> now you have had some time since your deposition and you submitted the...

They tell you a story, they need to worry about some day those documents are going to come out. >> and especially this witness. and i want to ask you about this. our viewers have been covering every twist and turn. i think we can get in the weeds a little bit. talk about gordon sondlands attorney. and talk about that line from congressman maloney where he says basically this is your third try. you submitted to a closed-door deposition. it was not your completely accurate testimony. you submitted...

Other people said subsequent to his deposition, and thats what prompted the clarification in his addendum. perhaps hes going to remember more on wednesday as well. theres just so many events, so many meetings and phone calls and indeed text messages where hes a central figure. ill just point to one which he mentioned in his declaration, which is the warsaw meeting on september 1st where he and mr. morrison and ambassador sondland all say that basically ambassador sondland told the ukrainian very...

There obviously remain gaps, inconsistencies in his earlier testimony. is the committees focus wednesday going to be attempting to clarify exactly what he knew and when he knew it? because even this call that david holmes has now testified about hearing, that is not something that ambassador sondland even in his revised -- his revised testimony when he amended it after hearing the testimony of other people that contradicted his original testimony, he still didnt mention this call. >> right. well...

Between the assistance and the investigations. i have never seen a direct relationship between an investigation and security assistance. does that harm the democrats case here? >> well, i think that the important fact here is that it was never alleged that the foreign minister was part of these conversations or meetings, in which some of these very troubling events occurred. and so i think that one of the most important things that well learn this week is who is a party to the calls in which, yo...

Any connection of military aid to investigations. in the three-page revised testimony he filed, he said actually, on september 1st i did tell a top aide to president zelensky that it was my belief that these two things were tied. again, he hasnt really been -- a written addendum to your question is not being questioned in public court so im with gloria. i think it is likely he tries to finesse it but there are pieces of things that he has acknowledged that he hasnt been questioned on including t...

If the president said i dont want anything from ukraine and then he provides that addendum he will have to answer a question. >> >> bill: well see how he does. adam schiff, i will play that sound bite. >> two years ago i stood before you and i urged you to resist and you did. we are more resistance now. we are a majority. were a majority in one house and well become the majority in the other and we will send -- we will send that charlton in the white house back to the golden throne he came from....

Agent jennifer williams, two policy advisors that serve on president trumps national security counsel, alexander vineland, tim marston, and special envoy to ukraine kurt volker. but the big item is really gordon sondlands testimony, because he is president trumps ambassador to the european union. he will be the first ally of president trump to speak publicly as a witness. president trump appointed him to his post and they are also good friends. of all the witnesses we have heard from so far, he ...
