The president asked a foreign power to interfere in the election, and investigate his political rival. A call that the white house is accused of trying to cover up. The whistle blower fears for his or her safety as the president continues to attack him or her including this moments ago in the white house. We have a whistle blower that reports things that were incorrect. As you know, and you probably now have figured it out, the statement i made to the president of the ukraine, a good man, a nice man, new, was perfect. It was perfect. But the whistleblower reported a totally different statement, like the statement was not even made. I guess statement you could say with the call. I made a call. The call was perfect. When the whistleblower reported it, he made it sound terrible. Take a look at what one of the whistle blowers attorneys just said, moments ago after hearing that. News update, the law is paramount and there are no exceptions for anyone. The president the attorney was respondi
He says to the wise tyrion was it right . Was it right . Tyrion says ask me again in ten years. So true. Decisions, were obsessed in the moment. We dont value them as a function of what comes next. Remember, were all so caught up in the now and what matters and seeing things in politics is so urgent, time is the teacher and the ultimate judge of what was winning and losing and more importantly who did the right thing when it mattered most.

With what they believe is a strong case against the president. This will only further add to the body of evidence on a potential obstruction of congress charge against the president. We have seen a series of shifting, everchanging rationals for this campaign of obstruction. It has been the uniform position of democrats and republicans that we do not respect any fallacious claims of absolute immunity. I cant give you the time table, assume we will be moving to open hearings as well. Today, the committee released transcript of testimony from two key witnesses, Michael Mckinley and marie yovanovitch. Last month, she testified that trump had personally pressured the state department to remove her despite assurances from Department Officials that she had quote, done nothing wrong. Now, were learning new details about the administrations efforts to remove her, including advice she said she got from u. S.

Failed to pink the impeachment process. We begin with the big news. You may have already heard some of the hints. The republican leader Mitch Mcconnell is now saying he will move forward with plan to conduct a trial of donald trump, the impeachment trial, and they wont reach any initial agreement about witnesses.

A full court press including just a short time ago the president brushing off concerns and so was Energy Secretary rick perry. I think he clarified it. Its just a terrible witch hunt. This is so bad for our country. I think he was straight up with what he said. You know, i think straight up how .
