Heard about mike pompeo. several accounts lining up to name them again and again in terms of the role that they play. john bolton is particularly interesting because to dr. fiona hills testimony, he was the one that referred to some of these dealings to try to hold up aid and the white house meeting for political purposes and investigation into domestic political rival as a drug deal that was going on. so thats a reference weve heard again and again. yes, obviously he would have something to add...

Reporters brought it to the forth. people were saying it was the newspaper that brought down the innocence. >> really, i want to get to jill and nick. they were young and cute and were doing the investigations. we have two of the investigators that are here now. jill, for you did feel the pressure of pronixon sentiment beating down on you? did you feel attack or were you guys visible enough to be attacked by people who supported richard nixon? >> we were attacked. i would say some of the same wo...

There had the same thing, which is to change the obama policy. >> no, it was leaving ukrainians without any way to defend themselves who are supporting ukraine, we have them in there and fighting for ukraine and now the democrats are saying, well, this is wonderful -- >> let me just ask you the question. because of this lethal eight has been important. it gives them quite a bit of leverage, the president, if he wants them. as you know, he has given it to us the first. the reality is -- heres my ...

Was the witness against the president in the obstruction case in the mueller probe and you can ba-- based on aris wis legal analysis, it appears sondland is being used in the same way as the witness against donald trumps role in directing an extortion campaign. >> michael schmitt. you used the phrase he was among the narrators as i chose to steal that day, but he, mcgahn, indeed can be considered one of the narrators of the mueller report. >> and the power of mcgahn and it gets back to the credi...

Can testify or not. hes just not going to. significance? >> its significant in a couple of ways. the lawsuit that he was trying to join was one where the court was being asked to rule on this idea of absolute immunity, which is a creation of the executive branch which predates trump. but its this idea that senior advisers are immune from any kind of congressional subpoenas. i dont think its going to go well generally, but i think it was not going to go well specifically for him. and its not good...

He had to disavow it, and it means that theres basically no credible place now for republicans to go as far as the facts. theyre left with some kind of argument maybe its not impeachable. maybe its okay. but of course trump is insistent that he be defended on his substantive terms, which is that it was a perfect call. thats just not a plausible thing. any politician who wants a future with credibility can say now. >> hey, asha, ive got 15 seconds. house investigators want the acting chief of sta...

Now. >> hey, asha, ive got 15 involved. i think if trump hadnt come he seconds. would have not gotten within 4,600 votes. house investigators want the acting chief of staff, mick he was destined to lose by mulvaney, to testify on friday. whats the likelihood of that several more points. >> are their lessons for happening, and could this become democrats in the races the kentucky candidate was a part of the obstruction case? >> i expect that theyll, you know, invoke executive centrist? >> yeah. i...

However, most of them are not expected to show, including four witnesses who are scheduled for today. house intelligence chairman adam schiff said moments ago the white house is blocking witnesses will only help build an obstruction case against the president. >> its very pertinent testimony. very relevant to the other witnesses who have come forward. we may infer by the white house obstruction here that their testimony would be further incriminating of the president. >> harris: gillian turner l...

As we watch that, any surprises any any sort of context that you werent expecting to get? >> not released surprises, harris. for these officials not showing up today, you heard adam schiff say that builds in their obstruction case. democrats likely will put together what they believe is obstruction by the white house as one of the articles of impeachment they move forward to eventually. i think the transcripts are interesting, i have the excerpts of the transcripts here, they obviously put out t...

Assange told mr. stone that within a couple of days there would be a massive dump of e-mails that would damage hillary clintons campaign. >> this week were going to get into those conflicting stories. prosecutors do have to prove way more than just that stone was deceitful along the line. they have to prove he knowingly deceived congress or knowingly tampered with witnesses. the whole obstruction case grew out of the mueller probe. tonight, many are still trying to make sense of these brand new ...
