Ahead and have your vote because he wants to get back to the business of the American People. A lot of good Talking Points with the economy and stock market so i think hes going to say im the president and focused on the business at hand and focused on something he believes is unimportant in the end. The event that he is doing today is on School Choice and a big issue for the republican party, hes got some results there and we have the president now talking about the horowitz report, we have that tape for you right here. President trump thank you very much. The ig report just came out and i was just briefed on it and its a disgrace what has happened with respect to the things that were done to our country. Should never again happen to another president. It is incredible, far worse than i wouldve ever thought
possible, and that is an embarrassment to our country, it is dishonest. It is everything that a lot of people thought it would be except far worse. So im going to get some very det
Whatwe that means, its to use e power of the office to obtain an improper personal benefit while ignoring orfi injuring the national interest, or acts in ways that are grossly inconsistent with and undermine the separation of powers that is the foundation of our democratic system. Now, this question of whether the president engaged in abuse of power came up before when this congress considered the impeachment of president nixon. And president nixon famously said, if the president does it, it is notde illegal. And this body rejected that because thats not so. That goes directly contrary to what the founders said. But President Trump has said the same thing in responding to the prior investigation by the Department Of Justice and defending his conduct. Heres what he said. I have an article 2 where i have the right to do whatever i want as president. That he has the right to do whatever he wants as president. That is as wrong as when president nixon said a similar thing. That is not what
A single party fraudulent Impeachment Process deployed against the president like the one being used against donald trump. Thats whats unprecedented here. Its not the claim that a president doesnt want to turn over witnesses or documents. That as we said many times today is actually quite common. By the way, lets remember, noted again, President Trump has consistently cooperated with this congress in fulfilling its oversight and investigation responsibilities. I noticed the statistics this morning when we started, there were 25 Administration Officials that testified before the House Oversight this year and 25 at the House Judiciary Committee. At the start of the Impeachment Inquiry the white house produced more than 100,000 pages of documents to the oversight committee. In spite of their allegations, the democrats know President Trump has a lawful cause to challenge the subpoenas because they involve direct wln are
communications between high ranking advisors and a president. Thats ve
[silence]. Now, turning attention to the ron johnson letter, if i may. Yes. On august 31st, Senator Johnson is getting ready to travel to the ukraine in september with murphy. Johnson called the president and sought permission to be the bearer of good news. Right. The president said i am not ready to lift the aid. Senator johnson, he writes a 10 page letter. Very detailed. He gives some remarkable details. I would like to read it. Its on page 6. This is Senator Johnson speak. I asked him whether there was some kind of arrangement or ukraine would take action and be
lifted. Without hesitation President Trump denied such an arrangement existed. And he started cursing. He said no way. President trump said no way. I would never do that. Who told you that . And Senator Johnson goes on to say that President Trumps reaction was adamant, ve hement and angry. And as august 31st, the president said you will like my decision in the end. Thats very important context on the president s State Of Min
Now behind him . I dont really know. He responded when i said get ahold of the secretary, he said i agree and i never knew whether he reached out to the secretary or not. That was sort of the end of that. At one point in your text you said lets get on the phone and you said you are an individual that doesnt like to walk through these issues on texts when you can talk about it on the telephone, correct . I say talk it on the telephone correct . I say that to everybody when something becomes more substantive and that then a few lines of text. The speaker did you talk with ambassador taylor . I dont recall whether we spoke after that or he called the secretary. Basically mr. Castor wanted to get the notion across that i had gone as far as i can go with this. You are the ambassador and you need to pick up the ball and run with it at this point. Okay. Just getting back to the regular channel, did anyone else expressed concerns to you about this socalled irregular
channel . Im not or how som
