Enough to schedule an oval office meeting for president zelensky. that was the take away. thats what i referred to repeatedly in the coming weeks whenever it became relevant. ill remind you that, one more important point. throughout this time as i testify, we were trying to find a formula, things we could do with ukrainians that would convince the president that they were worth talking to. >> maybe mr. holmes, the take away was he thought it was no big deal because he already knew. hea didnt rem...

Not like him for being like them -- >> thats called delusional. thats why were here to inform these people. thats why were here to let them know that a quid pro quo is a shakedown. its extortion. even if you dont think its important, the same thing that happened with nixon, they may not have thought it was important, and all of a sudden the president is caught on tape lying or trying to -- >> but they had a burglary there on him. >> have you read the transcript? >> yeah. >> have you heard the wi...

Capitol hill. theres no other way to put it. thats why everybody is attacking the process on the other side. this was devastating testimony by lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. the national security councils top expert on ukraine, who still works in the white house. hes wrapping up ten hours of testimony tonight. he testified that most of what is revealed in that rough log of that july 25th call between president trump and ukraines president, where trump pressured the ukrainian leader to inv...
