served on the staff of the united states senate. and if you took that oath and you understood that oath and you truly believe in that oath, to defend the constitution, you had to be filled with pride today to watch two people living up to that oath under intense pressure at the witness table in today s impeachment inquiry hearing. what you saw at that witness table was true faith and allegiance. that s another line in the oath. true faith and allegiance to the constitution. our first guest tonight, congressman val demmings, took that oath, and she had this to say to david holmes and fiona hill. policies change, but u.s. interests don t. at least not for those true public servants who are committed and dedicated to protecting our nation. thank you both for being two of them. john bolton wasn t there
judiciary committee. congresswoman demmings, what was it like on the committee when you discovered that there was a witness who actually heard the president s voice on the phone in a phone call that at that time you had no idea happened? there was no evidence delivered gordon sondland had not told any of you about that phone call, and here you have a witness to the gordon sondland phone call who can tell you what was actually said. that was one of the big discoveries of this investigation. what was it like when you landed on that? you know, that s absolutely right, lawrence. but i have said all along that i believe the biggest witness in this entire investigation has really been the president himself. when you read the read-out from the call he had on july 25th. but as you know, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle day after day have talked about there was no first-hand knowledge, no direct knowledge, it was second and thirdhand information. and then along comes mr. holme
but one thing we can be certain of, if any of these absent witnesses, if ambassador bolton or secretary pompeo had things to say that were helpful to the president, that established the president wasn t guilty of what s being bandied about this week, those witnesses would have probably been driven straight up to capitol hill by president trump himself so that they can testify. the fact that those witnesses are absent is the best guarantee that we have at this point that trump is right in the thick of this. and, ron klein, what do you see as a possible time estimate of how long it would take for this case to get to the senate as an impeachment trial in the senate? well, i think the excellent work that congresswoman demmings and the other intelligence committee has done lays the factual predicate for articles of impeachment in the house judiciary. now she has to put on her other hat. they have to take all the facts that have been laid out and put it in a legal context.
