Forward with this impeachment inquiry. what you have in president trump, when you see the cursing and you see the angry and you see awful this kind of bluster coming out at this rally, it s really him blowing off steam in this 102-minute speech, because he understands that there are officials that are going to be going to capitol hill and telling and saying things that it s going to be really hard to defend. republicans that i ve been talking to, and based on my reporting, they don t want to go anywhere near this question. you just played the senator, but there is also mike pompence whe vaughn hillyard was pushing him to answer about ukraine, because it s really not defensible for republicans to say yes, the president should be on the phone pressuring a foreign leader. the president says he saw doing that. if republicans said it would be wrong for a president to pressure a foreign leader to interfere in our elections, they would be on, in some ways, firm ground because the president ....

She saw a lot and certainly knows everything in the run-up to this phone call in july with president zelensky and purcharet trump. her testimony is significant because the person familiar with her testimony told us she plans to basically say that rudy giuliani and sondland, the eu ambassador, were running a short of shadow foreign policy, an end run around the national foreign affairs process, and cutting out national security adviser john bolton, which is significant. her testimony and how that plays out is significant because it could be a signal for how these other former officials will be handled. there are those who know a lot, like john bolton and people around him who were unceremoniously ousted from the white house and saw everything up front. if fiona hill goes forward with her testimony, what does that many for former officials who ....
Taylor, talk to congress about what they experienced. mike pompeo and others are trying to make things right but i don t think they can because of the extent of, quite frankly, the corruption that has been going on in this administration and how diplomatic channels have been circumvented or exploited for donald trump s partisan agenda. in the opening statement which we ve been reading as it s come across from our capitol hill teams, yovanovitch testified that she asked for a meeting with the deputy secretary of state john sullivan, now nominated to be our ambassador to russia, as you know, or is about to be nominated. the president said he intends to nominate him. she quotes sullivan as saying that the president had lost confidence in me and no longer wished me to serve as his ambassador. he added that there had been a campaign against me, the department had been under ....
Erdogan on sunday, the president s own comments. it seems this decision to abandon our syrian kurdish allies did come with a somewhat of a blessing, green or yellow light or some kind of light from the president himself to erdogan. in an administration of foreign policy blunders, this is the worst disaster that we ve seen. the president has turned his back on our allies, the kurds, and it sends a message to all of our european partners in the fight against isis. he has made it possible to release thousands of some of the most dangerous terrorists we ve seen. and he s sent a message to all those dictators around the world who he seems so fascinated with that they can get the president to do whatever they want. diane foley, of course, whose ....
