dismissing it as more hearsay. joining is now at someone who was in that hearing room, intelligence committee member mike turner, congressman good morning to you. first off what was it like inside of that room yesterday? it was pretty crystal clear that adam schiff and his investigation has a problem. not only is all the investigation built on hearsay, his star witnesses, the first two out front have never spoken to the president of the united states and never met with the president or talk to him on the phone, they ve never even gotten a memo from the president concerning ukraine and yet here they are testifying in an impeachment proceeding that is about the president. other than hearsay, the ambassador and mr. kent were only able to tell what they had heard from others. it was a mess yesterday. sandra: so that testimony did revealed this new phone call that i just let into you with that democrats are calling it bombshell. this phone call happened the day after that now very well
the world who leak, it s patently false. we know that. every side leaks. i don t really have any problem with this. they re getting bomb shell after it bombshell. go ahead. melissa: speaking of bombshells, we are learning that fiona hill, a former white house aide on russian affairs, told house lawmakers yesterday that a july meeting between u.s. and ukrainian officials regarding unspecified investigations left her and former national security advisor, john bolton, concerned. so much so that both and instructed hill to tell a lawyer on the national security council. this was about two weeks before president trump s phone conversation with the leader of ukraine. hill left the administration just days before this cold. that s a lot to keep track of, harris. harris: i m going to kick my time a bit to chris bedford, because it s the messaging, too, that is so much a part of this. how do you handle that? chris: john bolton attacking the president? a lot of people are kind of surprised
from rick gates testimony. that was during the manafort trial. they were calling it bombshell then that there was contact with dr. k. months later there is a memo repackaging dr. k. stuff. pete: when is there going to be a real bombshell. i haven t seen one yet. molg hemmingway was on our channel last night talking about the special counsel being used as a weapon. listen. special counsel as an investigation into the treasonous collusion with russia to steal the election. we are not seeing treasonous collusion with russia nor anything close to it. even the people who set up this special counsel are now admitting not because they thought there was treasonous collusion to steal an election with russia. there was federal government how it runs and whether it s okay to win an election even if it makes people angry. nicole: again, what we are seeing is something did come out of yesterday but nothing directly tied to collusion. it might be a lot of hype.
