Appropriate. whats your response? >> that is shocking. what is so stunning to me is that you have a group of elected officials, members of congress, members of the senate, who put their loyalty to one person above their loyalty to their oath of office, their loyalty to the constitution, their loyalty to the united states of america. we are going to continue to see especially once this investigative portion is complete and once the public hearings begin, i think we will begin to see even more and...

Go ahead and put national security at risk for his own political ends and so forth. and so what were trying to do is just learn as we go. have people who really have firsthand knowledge of what happened come in and tell us about it. and one thing i can commit to you is that in the end, all of these -- all of this will become public. thats what -- you know, as appropriate, but were going to do this in a way that protects the national security of the united states and were not going to put it at r...

Steps that he or she took to get this out there. that is the story. the rest of this, as we are talking about in this letter, is all about process and it is ault about partisanship and politics. the question the american public has to answer is, was this appropriate, was this presidential, was this an abuse of power. >> thank you so much. and coming up, more on the bombshell letter. ? and an ally crucial in the defeat of isis, have the kurds been abandoned by president trump? ♪ if you build a ...

Legal question here because one thing is clear now is that this effort by this administration internationally was not just ukraine and seeking dirt on the bidens. now you have bill barr traveling around the world, the president looking for help from the brits, the australian, the italians on a doj inquiry into the origins of the 2016 russia investigation. legally, is that a different and arguably more acceptable, whether you think theres anything there there, but acceptable line of inquiry for t...

Action like that, that forces us to litigate or have to consider litigation will be considered further evidence of obstruction of justice. and, of course, that was an article of impeachment against nixon. the obstruction of the lawful functions of congress that is. we will also draw the inconference, though, as appropriate, that they are trying to conceal facts that would corroborate the allegations of the whistleblower complaint. so well have to decide whether to litigate or how to litigate. we...
