26efth. 17 . Yes. What do you come to mean by yes, sir. They got. Security assistan, three e amigos. As well. They cudid. If i said that number was my understanding of ambassador sondlands use of around 270 million. That term thed three people in would that probably be accurate . Charge of ukraine policy during the summer was he, gordon sound about right . Sondland and ambassador volker did they get aid in fy 18 . And secretary perry. When did you come to learn yes, sir.

Campaign. He did not do that. And if he abused his power, most likely he would tell president zelensky that he was asking to help his president ial prospects . You would never engage in conduct nor explicitly say, in this case, president zelensky, im going to bribe you now, or im going to ask you for a bribe, or im now going to extort you. This is not the way these things work. Getting back to you, we talked about hunter biden. Hunter biden had been on the board of burisma going back to 2014, correct . Yes.

Him through this committee for eight months. So i think following proceed sure is something that you have to look at because your idea is not really point of order. The time has expired. If he wishes. He doesnt wish. Good morning, mr mr. Lewandowski. Im questioning you right now. Thank you. The president asked you who had no role at all in the white house to deliver that message to Attorney General sessions. The president could have just picked up the phone himself at any time and called the Attorney General. The president also had a full staff of executive employees right down the hall.

But each of those members could speak. That could take time for each individual amendment. When that amendment is voted down which we expect because republicans are expects to offer amendments, democrats are happy with these articles and dont plan to do that. Thats why this is unpredictable how this contentious day will play out, wolf. 40 members now. Ted lieu had some medical issues. We wish him a speedy
Sm he20 didnt talk about 2020. Would you agree President Trump was acting wrongly and corruptly that he was askingee r the investigation explicitly to help his 2020 election prospects . Yes, my experience as ten years as a prosecutor, you never have a defendant or someone whos engaging in misconduct who would ever explicitly say in this case, president zelensky, i am going to bribe you now or i am going to ask you for a bribe, i am going to extort you, thats not theto way these things work. Mr. Castor. You said about hunter biden going back to 2014 for burisma. Yes. President trump supported ukraine with aid and otherwise, 2017 and 2018, correct .
