extraordinary measures to protect the identity of the ukraine whistleblower, if he or she agrees to testify. the washington post reports democrats aim to prevent president trump s congressional allies from exposing the individual, the steps under consideration include having whistleblower testify from remote location, obscuring the individual s appearance and voice. brad. this is nonsense, this is building drama around this person. i happen to believe a whistleblower isn t a whistleblower until they earn that title, what they did disclose was of the caliber of whistleblowing. we should never know this is existent if but for a leak we know there is a whistleblower, right? the whistleblower apparently, being reported, went to schiff before going to the i.g.democrats had to leak harris: that is true. if that is the case harris: not that the two are mutually exclusive sglchlts then
declassified. now he is in a position to answer questions about process. firsthand versus direct information held by a whistleblower and whether standard procedures were followed. last night on fox the president s personal attorney rudy giuliani defended his actions. listen. absolutely represented the president personally against charges he colluded and that he will be impeached. this came to me in november of 2018 while i was still defending against mueller. i began gathering all this to defend the president of the united states, my client. i was brought into it. i didn t go looking for it. i didn t go looking for joe biden. new information we have is the inspector general of the state department, an independent body within the sfait department that acts as the internal watch doc requested the urgent meeting with house and senate staffers about ukraine documents set for 3:00 p.m. eastern on the senate
yeah. no question about it. again, look, nobody should be shooting inside of the tent at this point. i understand that every republican needs to find out facts and needs to understand what the specific impeachment arms that will be presented but house democrats have been trying to do this and allies in the media have been trying to impeach the president of the united states since the day he was sworn in. this is a partisan war. you may disagree with president trump on a whole range of issues but if you have ever have an interest in winning anything ever again better figure out how to stick together and fight as a team. bill: what they did with kavanaugh. that s a perfect example. bill: what about those who suggest you don t know anything about this whistleblower, don t give he or she the credibility they re looking for right now? i don t know it hinges on the whistleblower. we ve already seen the
clearly closing in on the foreign players from 2016. come on, this all explains why the democrats are freaking out and so determined to stop trump and smear barr. they bet, i think, that it s safer to sully trump with bogus accusations than finally face the music themselves. you know, i don t know that democrats are freaking out but i do think you can have both an investigation. we should know what happened in 2016, and you can investigate the president s phone call with the ukraine and any other improprieties that a whistleblower says the president did. they have to happen in the way the american public believes the investigations are legitimate. i think we re all in trouble here. it is seen as a partisan fight at this point. first of all, the whistleblower isn t a whistleblower. you become one after the facts determine that what you leaked
from what happened in 2016. i ll allow you to answer, jonah. how much credibility do you give this argument? seems to me they re separate tracts. i m waiting to see a better argument against attorney general barr than what we ve seen so far. i think he handled himself you can t say the 2016 meddling is outrageous and that the administration isn t taking it seriously. then when they take it seriously say that s outrageous, too. i m waiting for another shoe to drop before barr has done before the criticism. a lot doesn t touch on the whistleblower or that stuff. the reason why everyone basically a fight over narratives. republicans want a narrative that is investigating the investigators and biden scandal. democrats want a narrative that says it s all about trump. and it remains to be seen who can win that. sandra: laura ingraham makes the point the democrats are freaking out. the attorney general is
