What happened and i dont think theres any doubt in anybodys mind as ambassador sondland said, two plus two does equal four. >> however, republicans say there is reason to doubt because nobody has said under oath, yes, the president told me you are holding up this aid until ukraine investigates the bidens or until ukraine investigates any potential meddling in the u.s. election in 2016 which has been debunked of course, just a conspiracy theory there, but there hasnt been somebody to say the pres...

The president tell mr. giuliani to tell us. >> have any witnesses testified that the president himself explicitly linked a white house meeting or the $400 million in aid to an announcement about the investigations? >> yes. the presidents own chief of staff, the person who meets with the president every day on live camera admitted exactly that. vis-a-vis the most serious and that is the military aid. but, look, what ambassador sondland did say is everyone was in loop on the preconditioning of the...

Talked about the importance of linking the presidents decision to freeze ukrainian aid to his efforts to dig up dirt about the bidens. >> yes, the presidents own chief of staff, the person who meets with the president every day on live camera admitted exactly that vis-a-vis the most serious and that is the military aid. but look, what ambassador sondland did say was everyone was in the loop on the preconditioning of the meeting that ukraine desperately fought for its recognition that the united ...

Aid in the absence of any other explanation and in light of the presidents own record of pressing for these investigations, two plus two equals four. what every judge tells every jury and its no different here is you dont leave your common sense at the door. everyone understood, this was merely pressure to get the presidents investigations. and even more than that, i thought this was notable about ambassador sondlands testimony, he wasnt even as interested in the investigations as he was the ann...

Put two plus two equals four for hill and theres no way hes doing this, and then you see oh, my god, hes going to do this. and that to me was the most powerful aspects of the full trajectory of the testimony this week. thank you both. that was great. sometimes i think its worth amidst all the details and 24 hours of testimony to take a step back and remember this entire impeachment process is over just one corrupt act by a president whose corruption is his defining feature. were going to talk ab...

A good argument but the only argument they have is this was wrong, wrong, wrong. and you heard representative hurd do this, hurd said the only rational thing you can say which is he said the call on july 25th was wrong, white house bungling just not impeachable. i mean, which is not true, we should say. and i think what was so important about the testimony which was different from the depositions was the power of the points about national security and the abuse of office for trumps personal gain...

Impeachment, even worthy of removal? congressman peter welch, vermont, democrat, member of the intel committee, one of the fact finders, distinguished himself with his questioning in a lot of the testimony. welcome to "prime time." good to see you. >> good to be here. >> so the best conversations are always before we go on air. you watched this testimony, fiona hill. wow. boy, what a great servant. vindman, taylor, yovanovitch, wow. im proud to be an american. its great to have them in service. ...

With his questioning in a lot of the testimony. welcome to "prime time." good to see you. >> good to be here. >> so the best conversations are always before we go on air. you watched this testimony, fiona hill. wow. boy, what a great servant. vindman, taylor, yovanovitch, wow. im proud to be an american. its great to have them in service. they seemed credible and good. sondland a little sideways, has trouble sticking to his story. but people watched the spectacle and they shake their heads, cong...

On the mathematical equation that two plus two equals four, the presumption. you add it all up and what you have is publicly the president and his aides and allies are claiming that they want a trial, that they think the facts cut in their direction and that they will ultimately be vindicated. that doesnt account for the prospect of new additional evidence and you have the mysterious tweet by former national security adviser john bolton saying that more is to come. and we still dont know how the...

Fact joe biden -- it makes absolutely no sense. and she -- what you saw today was two people saying no one had to tell me explicitly although again giuliani was explicit about it because i was putting this is the two plus two is four together. what the republicans keep trying to come back to is well nobody said explicitly thats what it was. just like nobody said its a quid pro quo at the time. and, you know, thats not how criminals crime. thats dont say it explicitly as theyre doing it. >> thats...
