Ferences. Was in we cherry picked on the majority side. It did not give anything later when those same witnesses were tested. Is lost. Ity the American People are not on their side. Day . Is my minority hearing they cannot deny the minority hearing day. Waiting for our minority hearing day. We are also waiting to see if this chairman would accept the report from another entity. We have a lot of questions today, none of them got answered. This continues to show this whole impeachment process is a total sham. Nadler himself, a threepronged task. Meeting his own standards for impeachment. He said he didnt meet those standards it would tear the country apart. Colleaguesr democrat are tearing the country apart. Stop the sham. The hearing started with the chairman saying the facts are undisputed. He needs a lesson in undisputed facts. Facts that we have agreed on. We stipulate that the following is true. What he said were facts. To hear from law professors, i have enjoyed discussing, debating with liberal law professors, conservatives. There is a good chance they were wrong. We had one professor who just absolutely fictionalized what the president said to meet her own statement. Another said he was so reluctant wheno go to impeachment his tweets were that he wants to go full speed ahead. America, dont let your babies to grow up to go to harvard or stanford law school. Not only are the facts clearly disputed, what happened here today is totally unprecedented. You have to remember, this is the committee that has true jurisdiction over impeachment. We should have been handling this the entire time. Speaker pelosi didnt trust chairman nadler and handed it to chairman schiff instead. This is the first time in history it is unprecedented. The minority has not had the ability to review the undisputed facts. We are supposed to make a determination on articles of impeachment and we dont know what the fact are. One except for two members on both committees have seen any of that. When the starr report came out in 1998, kevin starr presented to the committee, he took questions from both sides. Of that has happened here today. We should have had adam schiff here. We didnt get that opportunity. What i said in my closing is , we we are worried about are eroding the trust of people in our institutions. The people there are deeply concerned. Theyre not trusting the congress, the system of justice, they certainly dont trust this impeachment. We set a very dangerous precedent with this. You said at the end of the hearing you dont know what is next, what the course of action will be. Would you encourage Intelligence Committee members on your side that was the inclination of what nadler said they would have some sort of hearing . You bring a great question. Is here right now, there is a myth coming out. Nobody knows what is going on. We are hearing there will be a judiciary presentation. We hear there is going to be an intel presentation. When adam schiff got in front of the mic and said im not testifying. If hes comparing himself to ken ther, why would he not be one to come testify instead of sending a staffer who is getting airtime to do that . The chairman would not commit to a longterm hearing. Reporter what he is saying is he thinks we should have intel people come in and give us their impressions of all of the hearsay evidence. That is insane. Wrote the report. Reporter democrat say you are arguing about the process because you cant dispute the facts that were laid out by the witnesses, what is your reaction . I laid out every time they talk about those. Most every clip they gave was from opening statements, not when they were challenged later. Sondland said it later on. He said i guess it was. Present their side, i will present we will present our side. These facts are contradicting. There is nothing we found that is impeachable. He did not do anything wrong. It is easy for us to make the argument. Neither of those phone calls he mentioned the word corruption. Why did the president mention the word corruption . That is almost like saying why dont you fret your questions differently . He said help us as a country. We are trying to heal. Come off the mueller report. It and you covered said it was a total disaster. It became all of these stories from the whistleblower. That is not what happened. Ask him this question, he said it almost 20 years ago that we a reportver accept from another entity and just accept it and rubberstamp. Is he simply going to rubberstamp this . Reporter mr. Turley suggested if it went to court the president might lose, why should the president have to comply with lawful subpoenas . Fors a right not only president trump, president obama, president clinton, where there is executive privilege read are things he can bring up. Part of the problem we are ing is what we are doing mr. Turley said yes, you should. That we have an imbalance of power. Your question is valid in this sense, we are on a complete time crunch that we dont care if we can go. I brought this up earlier. We were fighting with the department of justice to get documents, it was amazing, adam schiff went and sat down with them and started getting documents. Foreign affairs has done a great job of getting documents. Only the Judiciary Committee seems to keep having problems because they dont know how to sit down with administration. Our committee is hellbent on impeachment. Thank you all. Until we hear from a court, we dont know if they are lawful. We ready . Good evening,
