impeachable offense, but historically, thematically, i don t think we re there and i think they harm themselves by grossly exaggerating what was said in the conversation. laura: ken, my specific question was about this favor. when they reference the favor, they kind of meld it into to investigate hunter biden, joe biden, because he is going to be his opponent in 2020. that was never said. i actually read the transcript like five times today. that s not what is said. if either of you have spoken to the president at length, it s usually a pretty freewheeling conversation in a good way.becas mind. he s thrown in a lot of things there. there are literally telling a falsehoodd night after night after night in many ways but tonight specifically about that fact. ken.gh yes, i think that the use of the term favor, it s unfortunate. i agree with sol. one can question the judgment
10 being the most likely that the attorney general would recuse himself in this matter. ken, what do you think? two to three. i don t get this serious issuew. we now know, we ve been informed that the president never reached out to the attorney general directly or indirectly, that the attorney general has had no communications with the ukrainian government about all of this. so we saw this in the russia investigation, the mueller report. the president askedin for something to be done or says something to be done, but it doesn t end up getting done. there s no reason for bill barr to recuse himself. laura: sol, hold on one second. folks at cnn today are saying we need a special counsel. they are at a special counsel 2.0. if it weren t so serious, it would be like a saturday night live sketch if they had any balanced sense of humor. this is what is being proposed by supposedly serious people.
from the state department and everywhere else, john solomon, an investigative report that we will break right here on the show. but let not your heart be troubled.we don t go to bars bee laura ingraham is next.in d.c. can you save a little tidbit of that and toss me a crumb in the 10:00 hour, because i love solomon. just a little bit of a piece of news, please. i ll come on as a guest on your show any night you ask the. okay, i am anticipate coming on with you next week. and you re coming on tomorrow. awesome show. fantastic show tonight, hannity. i am laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle from washington. tonight, just like last night we are going to bring you some of the most comprehensive breakdowns of everything that transpired today and it som a l. ken starr and his former deputy sol wisenberg explain why there is no smoking gun on this ukraine transcript.
york correspondent for the washington examiner, fox news contributor. robert, from an investigator standpoint, all your experience in the legal world, one the most respected lawyers out there isn t the biden angle more troubling than what trump is accused of? maybe having some, you know exuberance or ken starr and sol were saying bad judgment to bring it up in a phone call. being accused of that versus what biden did? if anybody exercised mafia-like tactics to strong arm the ukrainians, it was joe biden.li now, what the purpose of all of that was, i suppose, is subject still to some debate. i do know that rudy giuliani feels very strongly that there is not only smoke out there in the ukraine but fire, as well,
but he s living in california. we don t have what are called stake outs outside someone s house? ken starr would know a lot about that. it happened every day. actually today james lankford the republican senator on the intelligence committee in the senate said that an investigation of all this would have to start with the bidens because we hear all the time that there s absolutely noan evidence that joe biden did any of the stuff and yet we don t get the sense that people are digging very hard for it. so it s going to have to change if democrats go ahead with what they are saying they are going to do which is to impeach the w president on this ukraine issue. laura: again, the fact that hunter biden has not appeared to give an interview on morning jou or, like a friendly forum where they maybe have coffee in the morning and hang out with herri your friend. it s bizarre, strange. he did do a story with the new yorker a few weeks ago and everybody thought it was kind of a preemptive
