This case is an example of that. as governor martin omalley publicly harassed acting security secretary ken cucenelli, yelling about the administrations immigration policy. he told fox news, omalley pushed his way through the small group to confront me face to face. still cursing me. the president, my italian ancestry. he got up in my face, bumped up against me, invited me to take a swing at him at which point i said martin, one of us has to rise above this and its obviously not going to be you....

Absolutely within their right to do so. its almost criminal to think this president is not allowing these people to testify who have first hand knowledge. the american people should have that. we shouldnt have to wait for the senate. if we have to wait, well get it at the time of the senate. >> almost criminal. sounds like it might be another article of impeachment which was the case in the nixon articles. >> yeah. i love neils thanksgiving metaphor about john bolton being gravy. its like gettin...

>> neil: do you worried that maybe it was the comment of fiona hill talking about the political nature all all about and the president trying to exact favors -- im paraphrasing here. already the testimony has been rejected by mick mulvaneys office. saying that she based much of her testimony on things allegedly heard from unnamed staffers, and many people, the fact that miss hill has never met -- despite all of the great intention or comment scott today, she doesnt know what shes talking about. ...

From story day one congressman lee zeld infrom mzeldin frommy neck of the woodg island. >> well, first off, the whistleblower is someone who claims to have have all these different sources with first hand knowledge. we would like to speak to all of those people. as far as the whistleblower himself, i think that what we saw play out yesterday, for example, is showing just how dishonest adam schiff has been throughout this process. i know that there would be additional questions for the whistleblo...

Concerns right away and that is something that democrats are emphasizing in the hearing that three of these witnesses are on the phone call, they have direct custody, direct understanding of what had happened and as one democratic aide said earlier, the republican argument that they are relying on second and third and tertiary hand knowledge here. one other thing i want to mention right now when the house of representatives, and this will probably dictate the hearing schedule a little bit later ...

Over the lack of collusion in the mueller report and now this impeachment charade. one of the most concerning things regarding these investigations is the amount of classified or otherwise sensitive information i read in the press that derive either from this committee or sources in the administration. im not accusing either one of of you of leaking information, however since you are the first witnesses that have first hand knowledge of listening to the presidents call on july 25th, its imperati...

Last thing. after last wednesdays testimony with george kent and bill taylor, the next morning, and i read a lot of coverage from all across the board, and i would say democrats seemed very subdued. they thought they actually have a harder job right now, they dont think theyll be able to actually hit the bar that they have raised so high. i will give you the last word. >> of course they cant because their star witness was bill taylor who never met the president, never met rudy giuliani or mick m...

But were still waiting to see if were going to get the notes from the ambassador and the other information that the state department and the administration is holding onto. theres also the other witnesses that have first hand knowledge that the administration wont allow to come forward. so on the one hand, dont say that this is just hearsay when the administration that you guys are so adamantly defending will not allow more first hand information to come forward. >> so congresswoman, i know you ...

Liaison and say how do we deal with this? >> ambassador taylor said they wurnlt werent aware of it and he didnt know -- >> taylor was on the outside. once you get closer to the inside its all they were talking about. >> youre making the assumption on the inside. not one single person has said their aid was held up >> thats not true. sondland is going to say it. theyve all said it in the transcripts. youre betting american people arent doing their homework. >> there was zero first hand knowledge....

>> what interest do you believe he was promoting, mr. kent? >> i believe he was looking to dig up political dirt against a potential rival in the next election cycle. >> ambassador taylor? what interest do you believe he was promoting? >> i agree with mr. kent. >> reporter: meanwhile, republicans defending trump arguing the two witnesses lack first hand knowledge and casting the hearing as a partisan show. >> the main performance a russia hoax has been ended and youre cast in the ukrainian seque...
