Correct . President trump has done a lot for ukraine. Yes. Sir, but isnt it correct that President Trump did not raise anything about hunter biden and fizz his father in 2017 or 2018 in only the year before his election in 2020 when both he and Vice President joe biden were leading candidates. Isnt that true, sir . I think what happened is the president saw this video of the former vp and i think it, it coalessed in his mind. Please answer my questions. He didnt raise any of these issues in 2017 or 2018. I dont know if he did or didnt. You have no evidence he did. No, but i have no evidence he did not. This video is pretty remark bable.

Talking about burden sharing and wanting the europeans to do more. But senator johnson was and President Trump they were pretty candid and they believe that allies like germany were laughing at us because we were so willing to spend the aid. Right. Now, theres been a lot of allegations that president zelensky is not being candid about feeling pressure from President Trump. And isnt i want true that he stated over and over publicly that he felt no pressure from President Trump . Is that true . Yeah. He said it consistently. He said it at the United Nations september 25th. He said it, you know, in three more news availability, including last week.

Professor turley, hes no trump supporter. Thats right. He is a democrat. Thats right. And, but professor turley cautioned the that a par the at the
Sondland whether president zelensky was going to, quote, do the investigation. We have the president many public statements, including his october 3rd statement that ukraine and china should investigate his political rival. Even though minority counsel mr. Castor admitted there was direct evidence he said we had some direct evidence on certain things and we had direct evidence on the may 23rd meeting, and sondland given direct evidence, and quote, the second hand accounts are also extensively corroborated. For example, ambassador taylor mr. Morrison both testify during as number seven phone call with ambassador sondland, President Trump said there was no quid pro quo for that president zelensky had to go to the microphone and announce investigations. And im giving with one hand taking away with the other. Ambassador sondland testified he had no reason to dispute ambassador taylor mr. Morrisons testimony about this conversation.

I think the American People are getting tired. I say that because i have a friend from college, jim. And jim sent me a text
