July 25th phone call never actually mentions corruption and the only americans he asked ukraine to investigate just happen to be his chief democratic rival joe biden and biden son hunter? >> did president trump mention any other democratic candidate? no. you mention the former vice president who we know has put pressure on ukraine to remove the prosecutor general and so they wouldnt get a billion dollars. in fact, he bragged about it. and his son was making $83,000 a month for sitting on a board...

Corruption problems enough to release this aid. i have certified that the government of ukraine -- heres the order -- has taken substantial actions to make institutional reforms for the purposes of decreasing corruption. thats from the secretary of state. and the secretary of defense. they had already resolved that they could get that, they could be trusted with that $400 million of military aid. >> thats one of the really insidious parts of this. as you heard from all of the career people in th...

Which obviously his own words fact checked that. he says he wanted them to investigate joe biden. >> certainly, also hes making the claim that he is really worried about the office of the presidency and his successors. its not something potus has been concerned with or he would have for example not abused power and not abused his national security council and the department of justice to do his own bidding. as you mentioned, kate, he specifically cites ambassador bolton and he makes a compelling...

Ukraine making the changes necessary to support a greater western economic investment. and we were excited that ukraine might, after years and years of lip service, finally get serious about addressing its own well-known corruption problems. with that enthusiasm, we returned to the white house on may 23rd to brief president trump. we advised the president of the strategic importance of ukraine and the value of strengthening the relationship with president zelensky. to support this reformer we as...

We admired his commitment to reform and were excited ukraine making the changes necessary to support a greater western economic investment and we were excited that ukraine might, after years and years of lip service, finally get serious about addressing its own well-known corruption problems. with that enthusiasm, we returned to the white house on may 23rd to previous president trump. >> we advised the president of the strategic importance of ukraine and the value of strengthening the relationsh...

Recognizes they have corruption problems and we expected the president to step up and point to a commitment to ending corruption and graft in his administration or across the whole of the ukraine. that doesnt rise to the level that theyre trying to make it. an impeachable offense. nor did the original transcript or the whistleblower complaint. this is a series of additional shiny objects to try to justify what i think is an insufficient basis for moving forward with impeachment. >> neil: not eve...

Sarcasm and they wont show the fun because theyre the most dishonorable people, almost, on earth. its a disgrace. here is the good news. the people get it. they have a brand new president in ukraine. good guy, by the way. i call a brand new person. i man -- i have no idea who he is and im on a phone, right? and i know many people are on the phone because when you call the leaders of a country, many people listen. they want me to say to this brand new president who just got there, called to congr...

Done and what they admitted today was, you only get the money if you help us win the election. not because you help us national security, international relations, the only thing we want from you is help to defeat democrats. that is wrong. thats why this matters. >> right, and what mulvaney is claiming is that our interest in -- our interest in finding out about the server and that ukraine and, you know, where it was really behind the hacks of the dnc, not russia, mulvaney is claiming, jeff, that...

Its about a benefit for the president. >> right. >> well, thats right. out of all the things you could talk about, and ukraine certainly has corruption problems, the only thing theyre talking about is this weird obsession with this fake story about the 2016 election. now i do think in fairness, i should say, that mulvaney lied about the biden side of things. >> of course he did. >> i think he clearly lied about that. >> yes. >> because we have that from the presidents own mouth in the partial tr...

Credibility of these allegations, and certainly we would love to hear from the president. giuliani sort of underscores this by saying it is true. so we have information here that needs to be followed. i was listening to your debate in regards to the issues going back to 2015. ukraine at that time had serious corruption problems. theres no question about that. the prosecutor had serious corruption problems. so the credibility at that time is very much in question. but i agree, transparency is imp...
