Of law and our fierce constitutional patriotism. Now, it looked like President Trump might get away with his ukraine shakedown. After all most americans didnt know anything about it and the few who learned of it would be too afraid, too intimidated to cross the most powerful man on earth. President trump could rest easy. But if donald trump misjudged the american character, the framers of our constitution did not. I count 17 honorable Public Servants who came forward to testify over the intimidation and disparagement of the president. Is that right, mr. Goldman . Yes. There was 17. And i counted dozen Career State Department and National Security officials who served republican and democratic president s alike over decades who came to testify. In fact, four of President Trumps own National Security council staffers, hill, vindman, morrison and maguire came
forward to report trumps scheme to nsc lawyers as soon as they learned of it, didnt they mr. Goldman. Morrison and vindman went to
russia. he also represented mayor bill de blasio in the investigation of his fund-raising activities. for my fellow americans watching this charade this is who is at the top of the testimony giving thousands of dollars to hillary clinton s presidential campaign. not a single fact witness has been presented before this committee. we have been denied a minority hearing day, i asked for. let s talk about the facts we have before us. we heard from mueller, no evidence the trump campaign colluded or conspired with russia for the 2016 election. no obstruction of justice. after denying the republicans and calling their witnesses in closed door proceedings and denying the witnesses in intel hearings, did the president tell you any preconditions for
of this hearing happening before house judiciary compared to the house intel hearings we saw last month. so now it will be chairman nadler and ranking member doug collins. your expectations. it is interesting. there was a mock hearing yesterday. both sides do this. nothing unusual about it. they did it before the intel committee hearings. the democrats had their hearing where they not only had all their members there in a room practicing for this hearing, but they also had staff members acting as the republicans trying to throw up various parliamentary procedural roadblocks. jerry nadler said i m not going to take expletive and a lot of people think he was talking not just about from republicans, but also from some democrats. there are some people we talked to a few moments ago about steve cohen, congressman from tennessee who brought the fried
it does not cede any ground despite what we heard from officials during the hearing. where this is going to lead the intelligence committee report will be voted on tonight and be released and at the same time transmitted over the judiciary committee. why that matters, that s where the articles of impeachment will be drafted. obviously there is the hearing tomorrow. obviously there will be a couple of hearings in the judiciary committee we expect over the course of the next week or so. why it matters it this is the starting gun to the final sprint to impeachment. over the course of the next couple of weeks based on the intelligence committee product, the president of the united states is likely to be impeached before christmas. how that actually happen, what the articles look like, that s still being debated but this is happening and happening fast, kate. rebuttal, prebuttal. you never correct me. i m sorry. i m now cutting your mic. joining me to discuss on a much more serious
hearing tomorrow? so, kate, i think what you re see something kind of two tracts about to converge. you have the intelligence committee report as it stands right now behind closed doors being reviewed by lawmakers on the intelligence committee. a select group of staff. they re keeping it very close but what i m told it s a lengthy report. it s largely a narrative of what we saw publicly in those hearings. kind of laying out the democratic case for impeachment. laying out the case that the president abused his power when he withheld that u.n. security assistance to ukraine in order to target a political opponent. as you mention i wouldn t call it a rebuttal. it is a prebuttal report. republicans putting out their own report laying out the backbone of their defense of the president you ll see over the course of the next couple of weeks saying the evidence presented does not prove any of these allegations that none of the democrats witnesses testified to having evidence of bribery, ext
