a coequal branch of legislation. didn t lessons of nixon tell you that? there s a risk here. if your congress you want to hear what he knew about the president s motive. with holding congressional aid to ukraine. you want to know why he wanted communications to be off text messages. call me, he said. and why did he call the president before responding to his fellow diplomat about the quid pro quo? if you re the president, you want a muzzle on anyone who can potentially implicate you and try to explain your intentions. one of the president s chief defenders says look, there s no need for anyone to testify at all. particularly sond land. there s no wrong doing. that s where volker was clear. why not release the transcript. so you can see what he told us. there s no wrong doing. he was completely as clear as could be. no quid pro quo.
to give an example, jenna, means here s what he said in the context of this conversation and here s why it s okay. you didn t do that. that s fine. go back and look at i don t have to. you said you did, you said you could offer it up and you didn t. i appreciate you making arguments. laura coates, jenna ellis, appreciate it. i m just saying if you re going to tell me there s an example of something, show me the example. don t tell me to go find the example. all right. how does one of the president s chief defenders in congress explain what seems like a new dossier that his lawyer admits has his fingerprints on, and that involves the secretary of state who didn t bother to tell us until he was kind of pushed on it that he was even on that phone call? oversight matters. congressman clay higgins takes oversight seriously. he knows what s going on. he ll make his case next. too many people in pain settle for a restless night s sleep. there s a better choice. aleve pm. the only one
about impeachment. and going back to rashida tlaib s comments as well. kelly o donnell, he is going to like what he heard from leader mccarthy who issued a defense of somebody who he talks with and visits with often. and will do so again today. and the timing had been some of the president s chief defenders were out of town based on the congressional schedule, arriving back late yesterday. and so this was one of the first on-camera opportunities to have a counter weight to the four congressman and their news conference from the democratic side and all of the national discussion. this is kevin mccarthy swinging the bat in the sweet spot the president wanted. perhaps they are the closest allies of the president and a member of congress would be mccarthy. they definitely have a connection. while there are others like lindsey graham, who suggested the president should aim higher,
should be able to see that report when it comes out. but he notes, it is up to the attorney general. he talked about how robert mueller wasn t elected, essentially, the president touting, again, his electoral win in the 2016 election. he, again, talked about those 13 angry democrats, this is an attack line we ve heard from the president before, which is what he was referencing. and insisted there is no collusion, and forgive me for reading off my phone here, my colleagues peter alexander, kristen welker, are talking to the president right now and reporting back. those attacks on kellyanne conway s husband, the president calling conway the husband from hell, he says he doesn t know him. he says it s a tremendous disservice to a wife and family. so the president now on camera, speaking in very personal terms about one of his top aides, one of his chief defenders, and somebody who has been one of the president s most prominent critics. interestingly he also talked
questioning today. all you have to hang your hat on is he will let it go forward. there s reasons to be suspicious about this. donald trump wants a loyal attorney general. that s what he has said he wants. that s not how it s supposed to work. jeff sessions, to his credit, understood the job was bigger than him and his own political loyalty. william barr has to pass that hurdle. he is someone with a background in a previous administration and washington. this kind of memo, taking this kind of position to this degree will raise a lot of suspicion. i don t know they re going to get to the bottom of this in a hearing to everyone s satisfaction. what will they get to the bottom of? this hearing will be led by chairman lindsey graham, who has all of a sudden, become one of the president s chief defenders and some democrats running for president we think. kamala harris, booker,
