These witnesses are fact witnesses. he was a reluctant prosecutor summarizing who didn t even want to appear and talk about his report. so i think it s going to be very different, and i think they know how these witnesses will handle themselves in public. they ve had them in executive session. interestingly enough, the watergate hearings were all done first in executive session as well before the senate and then in the house impeachment inquiry, so there was a this is not an unusual procedure to have them in executive session first. it gives them a basis for questioning, too. right, so this whole behind closed door nonsense is just that nonsense. it is nonsense, yeah. so taylor has notebooks. do you think he ll bring them? i don t know if he will. he might be asked to bring them
To appear and talk about his report. so i think it s going to be very different, and i think they know how these witnesses will handle themselves in public. they ve had them in executive session. interestingly enough, the watergate hearings were all done first in executive session as well before the senate and then in the house impeachment inquiry, so there was a this is not an unusual procedure to have them in executive session first. it gives them a basis for questioning, too. right, so this whole behind closed door nonsense is just that nonsense. it is nonsense, yeah. so taylor has notebooks. do you think he ll bring them? i don t know if he will. he might be asked to bring them or at least the relevant pages of them. he s obviously turned them over to the state department he said in his testimony. he s got three ways he keeps
National security top staffer for russia. he is in these meetings. he knows what s going on, on the phone calls. so if anyone does have doubt about taylor who was there in ukraine effectively acting as ambassador, there was no ambassador at the time because they had pushed out the ambassador partly because of rudy giuliani seemed to be spreading unfair information about her. so taylor is the acting ambassador. but tim morrison is right there in the white house. and tim morrison is a bolton guy. either the president who either resigned or fired you d have to think that tim morrison shares some of that. exactly right. aaron, your thoughts. we were all waiting for bill taylor s testimony for weeks. we knew this was going to be a big one because of the text messages we saw. the next big one is tim morrison because he can corroborate this testimony. but i also think it s important to remember what senator ron johnson said about this. he said pretty similar to what
For being with us on this night tonight. my pleasure. taylor, vietnam vet and is there anything else you want the audience to know or are republican. sondland, trump donor and you good? i was going to say it is up friend. to the senate, but remember, we volker, handpicked by team also help provide managers on trump. the floor of the senate to try where are the nicknames and the the case. yes. nasty degrading of these guys, yes. do you know who those will be mr. president? the only thing you can do is say yet? no. too early in the process? i don t. but i m looking forward to it. radical unelecteds? congressman gerry connolly, they re your people and your thank you very much very much silence about them is confirming for keeping us in the loop. thank you, sir. of the same. thank you, chris. all right. the only question is what the so taylor s testimony, it has to consequence should be. that s where the picture takes a be setting off alarm bells. turn for the worse. the la
Investigation was a classic case in which you build on start with people you don t want to prosecute, go to lower level and work your way up. you are not really building up a chain from low-level drug dealers to the high-level cartel leaders. you are talking to lots and lots and lots of people who are standing in the bank lobby when the bank got robbed and so they all have a different perspective on what they saw. some may have seen the weapons. some may have seen the getaway car. some may have been able to identify the bank robber. so taylor and fiona hill and sondland and volker and many, many more people i am certain have pieces of this. that s what makes it compelling. and by the way when we do investigations, we expect lots of different people to come in and tell the truth and to often have slightly different perspectives. and that s actually a healthy sign, not an unhealthy one. if everyone came in with the exact same story, it would smell like they are trying to get
