July 25th Transcript News Today

Mr. Eisenberg, he told me to take my concerns to him. And, theres a period of time in it wasnt that long a period of time, but it was enough time for me to enough time to talk to someone who you want i will assume it is, right . Ive been instructed not to, representative jordan. Hes what im getting. He told you not to talk to any of the people and you interpret that as not talking to your boss. But you talked to your brother, you talked to the lawyers, you talked to secretary kent, and the one g...

Managers was the lack of focus on that july 25th transcript. and thats because the transcript actually doesnt say what they would like it to say. now, weve heard, and you will hear more, about that in the days ahead. we know about mr. schiffs version of the transcript. you heard it, you saw it. i want to keep coming back to facts, facts that are really undisputed. the president, in his conversation, was clear on a number of points, but so was president zelensky. i mentioned that at the close of ...

You know, its been 75 days for this investigation. the andrew johnson impeachment, three days between act and impeachment. you know, and the clinton one which he himself, this guy turley worked on that impeachment, that was 75 days. so, you know, there was a lot of stuff there that was really problematic. and you just asked about the watergate analogy. i think the most telling thing in yesterdays testimony was jonathan turley was asked has any president ever stone walled a congressional impeachm...

That. well, the answer to that is obvious. its no, no president has ever done this. and thats why not just as theres this smoking gun about the july 25th transcript, but the way the president has reacted to this is itself impeachable. you know, the watergate phrase its not the crime, its the cover-up, boy that applies here in spades. we have never had a cover-up like this in which every single executive branch employee has been -- >> are you arguing theres one article of impeachment that is abou...

But it was, you know, contested fairly evenly. wound up being 10 republicans going against the president and seven going the other -- other way around, 10 going for him, 10 going against. >> the republicans issued a document establishing their position. basically what you just said. they dont argue the evidence. they dont get into details of evidence. they simply say this. the evidence does not establish that president trump pressured ukraine to investigate burisma holdings, vice president joe b...

Establishing their position, and its basically what you just said. they dont argue the evidence. they dont get into details of evidence. they simply say this. the evidence does not establish that president trump pressured ukraine to investigate burisma holdings, vice president joe biden, hunter biden, or ukrainian influence in the 2016 election for the purpose of benefiting him in the 2020 election. so theyre simply saying, it doesnt establish what the democrats say. >> im so sorry but the july ...

Testimony here does not make much sense. >> do you think that the july 25th transcript of the phone call is the best evidence that the judiciary has. do you agree with that? >> well, it is the most important evidence. it is the presidents essential confession that what he did was that he refused to give them the arms until they did him a dirty trick political favor. that is the core of this, this constitutional problem. that is why nancy pelosi and adam schiff were forced to go forward in this c...

And, you know, these are two significant issues, arent they? where do they leave the impeachment inquiry in terms of whether they move the needle forward, whether theres something here that the democrats have been looking for, that smoking gun? >> well, i thought that just the july 25th letter would have been enough -- or excuse me -- the transcript would have been enough because it was pretty clear in that july 25th transcript of the phone call from trump and zelensky that he was trying to pres...

So theres two different investigations that president trump asked for with regards to the july 25th transcript where he references the bidens -- hes asking president zelensky to work with the attorney general. that case, the burisma z zolchefski case is a corrupt case, who hired the son of vice president biden for over $50,000 a month, without any ukrainian experience, without any energy experience and hunter bidens own admission, he was only hired because of his last name. it just so happened t...

Support in ukraines de facto war in independence, has been critical. we heard how the white house visit was dangled. david holmes testified how that was critical to president zelens zelensky, to demonstrate to putin that he had u.s. backing. >> that is interesting just because this wasnt just a social visit. it wasnt just zelensky liked trump or loved his behind. >> they werent just sipping tea. >> this was an important, strategic visit. >> absolutely. we know that donald trump requested investi...
