Im ari melber -- is dip back to the hearing. when theres news we may come back out. we have analysts standing by. as this judiciary committee continues, were waiting for final votes that will tee up a house floor vote. well keep watching right along with you and break in as the news warrants. >> some would even call it presidential harassment because the administration is being used by these democratic committee chairs to advance their political agenda. this agenda does not allow them time to pr...

Ive already went through the fact that the majority has already disparaged beyond belief mr. zelenski. im not sure why they do character assassination, but they did and they still are. im not sure why they choose to continue to put out articles saying that members of the ukraine military died because of aid that was withheld. that was -- thats just a lie. and even their own articles to prove it says we cant actually say that thats true, but keep sending it out there. believe me, the american peo...

The democrats impeachment inquiry, the administration has produced more than 100,000 pages of documents to the house oversight committee. thats over 100,000 pages of documents. i must say they produced them in a timely manner. they didnt dump them within 48 hours of the hearing, but again i digress. the house oversight democrats initiated a sweeping investigation into the white house security clearance practices despite the presidents broad authority to grant security clearances to whomever the ...

Contempt citation. but we avail ourselves of the process. you havent done that. you havent done it because mr. schiff said so just last week because he didnt want to take the time to avail himself of the process that you claim youre defending. and that is precisely why professor turley and all who look at this with objective eyes say you are the ones abusing the process. you are abusing congress and youre abusing the president and the executive branch. but im afraid what happens is we actually d...

Instructed the state department to not give us the information that weve asked. he has told witnesses, people that we have subpoenaed, to come in front of congress to testify, to not come and testify. talk about a dangerous precedent. i think that the people deserve to know how hes using the office of the presidency to advance his own interests above those of the people whom he was elected to serve. the president has abused his office and is now using that power of the office to hide the extent ...

System of government. the principles of separation of powers and checks and balances demand that a president be permitted to resist demands that he finds burdensome of his privileges. it is absurdity to claim that the granting to congress of the sole power of impeachment implies duties of the president to cooperate in any and all congressional requests no matter their merit. disputes between the branches are actually a feature. theyre awe feature of our system. theyre not a bug in the system. th...

Representatives. but the facts dont match up with these claims. president has legitimate constitutional privileges and the courts can and should determine the boundaries of these privileges. the white house released two call transcripts to the public for review during this process. ambassador sondland said the president told him go tell the truth when the ambassador told the president he was asked to testify before congress. in addition these claims of obstruction ignore the appropriate role of ...

From the whistle-blower? >> very soon. you know, it will depend probably more on how quickly the director of national intelligence can cleat the security clearance process for the whistle-blowers lawyers. but were ready to hear from the whistle-blower as soon as that is done. >> as soon as thats done. this matters because unlike the mueller probe, where key witnesses such as don mcgahn were fighting to ever speak to congress, here you have a person heading in, ready to tell all. and meanwhile, t...
