Different witnesses who appeared before the house of representatives and of course other evidence thats been brought together. what were looking for is a signal from mitch mcconnell that he hasnt ruled out the documents and witnesses and asked for very obvious witnesses. mick mulvaney, for goodness sakes, we believe was not only party to the conversation that is at hand here, but as acting head of omb, he had had something to do with the decision to withhold this military aid to ukraine. >> so s...

Wrong here but i dont think it necessarily rises to the level of an impeachment offense and lets just stop it while we can before anything else comes out. theres hints of that during the open impeachment hearings you saw in the house where you saw gordon sondland release e-mails where he said everybody was in the loop. you have to decide where the intent here at the outset was good or bad. i think given mulvaneys past comments from the podium, theyre not 100% sure those testimonies could go in f...

Didnt. >> did he make a mistake. >> the president makes mistakes and i dont know if this call is a mistake but i think there are plenty of mistakes made by president obama and president trump dealing with ukraine and dealing with the russia aggression in ukraine and just like dealing with the russian aggressions in our elections. >> so lets talk about potential witnesses in the senate trial. some key figures like former national security adviser john bolton havent testified. boltons lawyer said ...

Evidence of consciousness of guilt to want to hide the truth from the american public, then you know what, i need to quit my job and find something else to do. >> glenn, how do democrats get these testimonies? is it a negotiation? i want you to listen to what adam schiff had to say on friday. he said hes not going to testify. lets hear that. >> if you are called to testify, will you? >> there is no basis to call me as a witness, and i think even mcconnell and republicans have recognized that. th...

Thank you both for joining me this morning. katie, i want to start with you. you just heard scaramucci say that the president wouldnt be able to handle the heat of those testimonies. do you agree with that? and how damaging would those testimonies be? >> i think im going to start with the last part of your question, phillip, which is how damaging would it be. obviously, it would be so critical and it would just be the hugest bomb to be dropped on the trump defense. and the reason why we know tha...

New today, sources telling politico president trump has a desire to, quote, create a flashy, testimony-filled trial, despite his partys opposition, but congressman adam schiff along with a former trump staff member predict that witnesses testimonies will be incriminating, if allowed. take a listen. >> it may very well be the president doesnt really want witnesses, the president knows that what mick mulvaney will have to say, what john bolton would have to say, what others would have to say would...

Make any sense for everything that weve tried to do so far. >> if democrats happen to get their way and witness testimonies are allowed, republicans will also have their pick of witnesses, but congressman adam schiff just said on friday that he wont testify. lets listen to a little bit of sound of that. >> theres no basis to call me as a witness and i think even mcconnell and the republicans have recognized that. you know, the only reason to even put me on a list is because donald trump thinks i...

This sort of pushing a trial even later into january, you know, democrats see that as some kind of leverage because trump wants a quick trial. but it could be a problem in terms of the presidential primaries that are coming up in early february that theyre trying to separate. >> so tim, 17 witness testimonies, there have been six hours of lawmaker arguments, that just happened on wednesday, and then there was the house vote for impeachment. the two articles have not been transmitted. the constit...
