Protect their identity and we will get testimony from them until they realize wait a minute, it has been revealed that he has been talking to adam schiffs staff. >> exactly. before he even laid his complaint, he was talking to adam schiff. this whole thing has been coordinated by the democrats. and now, of course, they dont want their star witness, the person who crafted all this fuss, to be questioned, even -- i mean, the republicans are saying we will do it behind closed doors. you can protect...

Heard from witnesses i have participated in depositions for a number of witnesses. i have been in those hearings. i think everyone has a responsibility to listen carefully and to read the documents that are generated and look at the evidence and carefully evaluate it. people are taking this responsibility very seriously. nobody comes to congress to impeach a president. we came here to get the work done for the american people we passed over the rated pieces of legislation driving down the cost o...

Which he put out, which he never mentions the word corruption but he does mention biden. these witnesses were witnesses to what agents of the president were doing. ambassador volker, sondland, rudrudy giuliani, they also laid out what was at stake. what it meant for the ukrainians in a life or death manner to not get a say. finally, martha, if the president of united states is innocent, he will send the first-hand witnesses john bolton and mick mulvaney to congress. if he is guilty, he will stop...

No american is denied the right to call witnesses on their behalf except donald trump. no american is accused of wrongdoing anonymously except donald trump. that they are doing in the house has a danger to the presidency itself. so when a trial in the senate needs to make sure that you you cant impeach a president based on hearsay because that is a danger to the presidency itself. secondly, in a trial in the senate must expose a whistle-blower so the president can confront his accuser. i will no...
