On over 215 phones which is an unprecedented size in terms of wiretaps and we obviously employed a number of innovative investigative strategies, some of which i cant speak of, but certainly the use of wiretaps, social media analysis was key and i have to say, law enforcement did such a tremendous job because as they were gathering intelligence, as they would use that intelligence in real-time to stop acts of violence and put their lives on the line to stop those acts of violence. >> its our und...

Public? to the justice system. in front of the -- the -- the chief justice of the supreme court. whats the relevance of this looking fair and being fair? >> the relevance is, first of all, the judgment of history. that what donald trump did is not okay. i think the -- what victory looks like is presenting this message to the american people. by recent polls, 50 to 55% of whom believe it was proper for him to be impeached. they deserve to eventually see this process play out in a transparent way....

Very clear for every defense that the republicans gave us in committee. you know, we were in there for 18 hours on the markup of the impeachment articles. every single thing that the republicans said we were able to pull apart with the facts. with the evidence thats on the table. with multiple corroborating testimonies. so i would just say to any americans who are watching who are unsure, read the transcripts of people who were appointed by president trump and, you know, who served the president...

Actually took. it wasnt going about quarrelling with particular subpoenas or agreeing to cooperate but then sort of picking its battles, if you will, over particular testimonies or documents. it launched a broadside attack on the process. the white house counsel wrote an extraordinary letter saying the impeachment process in itself was unconstitutional, a sham and that the president wouldnt cooperate with it at all. to treat the presidents conflict with the congress as a relatively ordinary cour...

Well talk process. obstruction of congress. the presidents defense is, listen, administrations always push back against congress. they dont like a lot of the requests and it should be settled in the courts. if they dont want to take the time, thats on congress, not on the executive. >> thats somewhat of a significant misstatement of the position that the administration actually took. it wasnt going about quarrelling with particular subpoenas or agreeing to cooperate but then sort of picking its ...

51 senators then. we heard enough, lets vote up or down. that would be the end of impeachment. you never had any witnesses cross the threshold. what you are hearing from schumer, from the last two or three months, you have been complaining how this process is rushed and we have not heard from witnesses. hes calling them bluff here. if you believe that, lets bring testimonies for folks who had something to say like mulvaney and bolton and a couple of officials from the white houses budget office....

Some of my former republican friends as to the party worth saving or not. i won that one and they are not. i think what you have going on is this perfect, complete difference between the party. on one side you have adam schiff and people who went through 17 witnesses, hundreds of hours of testimonies, they tried to get documents and on the other hand, you have republicans who you have lindsey graham announcing that hes going to lie when he ta t takes it up. the act of being a juror is fundamenta...

We should listen to the testimonies, we should have the opportunity to hear from the key witnesses, those that were involved in the direct contact between the president and the ukrainians as it related to aid, the white house visit, those issues that the allegations are that they were held up in order for the president of ukraine to do a political favor for the president. we should be able to hear that in an objective setting, and it looks like at this stage there hasnt been that type of consult...

Ambassador gordon sondland depends on which of his three testimonies youre reading. in all three direct messages from the white house was no quid pro quo. 16 other officials opted to testify in this investigation. moment, alexander vindman, kurt volker, fiona hill and the list goes on, all testifying to hearsay, opinion or speculation. but there are facts, no matter how the democrats try to spin it, there are four facts that will never change -- there was no pressure on the call, no conditionali...

Favor, but only three people listened in on the call. contrary to the assertions weve heard this morning, they didnt provide firsthand testimony of what happened on the call. all three of the testimonies continued indict contradicted each other. the evidence shows that president trump holds a deep-seated and reasonable skepticism have ukraine due to its history of corruption. the president sought that the newly elected president is a reformer. president trump wanted to ensure that the american t...
