Tonight on the reidout we dont have food, we dont have nothing. Nothing, no life here. No life here. When i close my eyes, i see bombs. I see a lot of houses down. Its not fair. Its not fair. Its not fair. Families including americans like that man, wait at egypts border, hoping to escape the hell that is gaza. As israeli troops amass for the expected gaza invasion. Also tonight, trump loses again. As judge Tanya Chutkan slaps a partial gag order on him, limiting the vile that hes allowed to spew. Plus, jim jordan has never passed a single piece of legislation, and john boehner calls him a legislative terrorist, yet, jordan appears to be on the verge of becoming the next republican speaker. But we begin tonight with israel and gaza on the brink. Thousands of Israeli Forces continue to amass on the gaza border in the wake of the deadly Terrorist Attack by hamas more than a week ago. Approximately 2,000 u. S. Troops have been told to prepare for possible deployment in the middle east if
What weve been discussing w today, which involved in a regular channel, was a request that went against u. S. Policy that have have undermined the rule of law and our longstanding policy goals in ukraine, as in other countries in the postsoviet space. Those policies which were indeed championed by ambassador yovanovitch. You also testified on october 15th in the deposition about fundamental reforms necessary for ukraine to fight corruption and to transform the country. And you t cited the importance reforming certain institutions, notably was investigating President Trumps political opponents a part of those necessary reforms . Was it on that list of yours or indeed was it on any list . No, they werent. In fact, historically, is it not true that a major problem in the ukraine has been its misuse
of prosecutors, precisely to conduct investigation of political opponents. Thats a legacy i dare suggest from the soviet era when, as you stated in your testimony, prosecutors like the kgb were
Discussing today which involved an irregular channel which is her request that went against u. S. Policy that would undermine the rule of law and our longstanding policy goals in ukraine as in other countries in the postsoviet space. Policies that were indeed championed by ambassador yovanovitch. You also testified in the deposition about fundamental reforms necessary for ukraine to fight corruption and to transform the country and you cited the importance of reforming certain institutions, notably security service. Was investigating President Trumps political opponents a part of those necessary reforms . Was it on that list of yours and was it on any list . No, they werent. In fact, historically is it not true than a major problem in the ukraine is bennetts misuse

Our credibility is based on a respect for the United States, and if we damage that respect, then it hurts our credibility
