Investigating corruption in ukraine, whether it had to do with hunter bidens firm or with the broader plague of deep, embedded corruption in ukraine. he didnt have a shining reputation. he wasnt simply opposed by the u.s. administration at that time. that he needed to be relieved of his duties. but by the entire trans atlantic alliance in europe. a lot of the international financial staoetion had real problems with the fact that he wasnt pursuing corruption investigations. now, if he has real ev...

Corroborated everything that the whistle-blower wrote about the call. congress was already investigating the holding up of the aide that was released in the middle of the night really once this was all in motion. and were almost getting beyond the point were attacking the whistle-blower eeb donald trump is on a focused effort to out this whistle-blower which is terrifying. all of his -- his tip sheet has all been investigated and confirmed. >> yep. this is the problem. you look at the republican...

Whistle-blower. we have to keep this focused on the facts. i believe if more witnesses come forward, and there are people who worked in that white house that despise this president because of his lack of patriotism, and if they start coming forward with corroborating evidence, that will make all of the difference. that will determine the case, how strong it is, what mitch mcconnell will do and the public opinion will matter as speaker pelosi has rightfully noted, and then our republican colleagu...

Could be over and done with and out of voters media consumption by the time the year ends. abby makes a really good point, it might not be necessary for rudy giuliani to testify. it could be just another circus-like hearing a la corey lewandowski. its more important to get people like secretary of state mike pompeo and william barr on the record, corroborating or answering to some of these pretty extraordinary claims that rudy giuliani has made like the fact that he says the state department aut...

Alisyn, she couldnt have moved then. there was nothing there to do. and what im suggesting is you have to complete the investigation. you need to get the corroborating witnesses. you need to get the people in who moved the transcript from one set of computers to a highly classified computer. you need to find out what other things have been moved there. im saying, let the process w k work. im on this channel to tell you what i think, okay? im not at this channel to tell people what they want to h...

Information, not firsthand information. good luck with that. i mean, the kind of cooperating document. and listen, i am sure regrets why they released the transcript, maybe they didnt have to. thats the original corroborating document and you see it in the whistle-blower document as well. >> stand by. we have breaking news. breaking news, secretary of state mike pompeo has just been subpoenaed by three house committees as part of the impeachment inquiry. lets go to senior congressional correspon...

Officials -- two ambassadors spoke with giuliani in an attempt to, quote, control the damage. so you have this white house saying not only do we have to control the president, but we have to figure out how to control his henchmen. >> its corroborating. it starts out on page 1, i heard from half a dozen officials that there is a concern. the president did not move this into some -- there are other people who did this who are clearly the people who -- >> that belies the idea this was a single rogu...

Corroborating some of the worst and most devastating allegations about his conduct, about his holding military aid for ukraine, which is at hourly risk from the russians over their head until and unless he investigates the bidens. >> yeah, i think that trump is hoping that he has sufficiently lowered the standards of what is acceptable on the part of the office of the president and has gas lighted the american public that he can push these things out and not be held accountable. but i think with...

The object lesson here, if you can win that argument, you can win the whole thing politically. >> well, on nixon and clinton, they didnt focus on articles of impeachment. they wanted to give the other party a chance to vote with donald trump on two or three counts, and then vote against him on one. and, mike, it only takes one. >> yeah, look, i agree with john. keep it simple. keep it focused and a story people can understand i think is going to have more corroborating facts and make that the th...

Going to have more corroborating facts and make that the thing. dont widen it up so the presidents defenders can make complicated subparts of the investigation the way to confuse people about this. real simple. president using the power of american policy to shake down a vulnerable country to further his own political career. it doesnt get simpler or worse than that. >> john heilman, who is the donald trump who you saw today at the united nations? i ask you because you saw him. you covered him c...
