Matt agreed to be here. Kennedy will be back tomorrow at noon eastern. Now, heres harris. Harris lets begin as we await the start of a muchanticipated House Judiciary Committee hearing. President trumps former Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski, is such testify at any moment as the democrats ramp up their impeachment investigations. You are watching outnumbered overtime. Im harris faulkner. Now we will hear the chairman and Ranking Member giving the opening statements. But there is already friction inside the room that you are looking at right now, after the white house moved to limit the scope of lewandowskis testimony and ordered two former aides not to appear before this committee panel. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge is live outside that hearing room on capitol hill. Things starting to get really busy in there now. Thats right, harris. Im just looking over my shoulder because we are still waiting for Corey Lewandowski. We were told 20 minutes ago he
would be a
Ambassador sondland says under oath there was no shadow. Were all bad apples, were a whole pile of bad apples, that is a watergate tape with better sound quality. R knowing trumps behavior patterns, it has been especially in new york the loudest voice gets the biggest headline and gets to drown out the truth, a story, or cover something back. He has been the president of distraction and that has really been one of the biggest marks of this presidency in addition to being the president who is the president for themselves and not thees people. What is fascinating here is it is almost like he is going back
to a play book that worked for him towo get elected. It has worked, so i think this is one of the differences with water gate. There was a time when we, the American Public, were getting all of the same information. And inio a vastly different wor now were not getting all of the same information about the facts that we should be. One thing the president is good at doing is creating his
this amendment strikes article 1 because article 1 ignores the truth. four facts, five meetings. we ve talked about it now for three months. four facts that have not changed, will not change, will never change and we ve known it since september 25th when the caltrans crypt was released. the call transcript shows no quid pro quo. even nadler said there was no quid pro quo in the call transcript. the two individuals on the call. they ve said no pushing or link whatsoever between security assistance money and any type of announcement of an investigation. we know that the ukrainians knew at the time of the call didn t know at the time of the call the aid had been held up and most importantly, most importantly we know the ukrainians took no action, no start of an investigation, no
there were some quite a few depositions that were private. but there was a lot of public testimony it wasn t before the judiciary committee, it was before the senate watergate committee. as you ll recall the president s counsel, john dean, appeared and testified there was a cancer on the presidency and a number of other revelation that there was a recording system in the white house. all of that happened in the senate. and the fact that it happened in the senate didn t mean that the judiciary committee didn t know about it. the whole country knew about it. and took notice of it. there is only a few members of this committee that were on the judiciary committee during the clinton impeachment. i was one of them. ms. jackson lee and mr. nadler were as well as mr. sensenbrenner and the gentleman from ohio. we had a report from mr. starr.
prove them and there are no underlying facts. i hear my friend from new york bring up russia. the residue of impeachment theories past and failed. hough are we even here debating about military aid, javelins, the president trump delivered that president obama withheld? i hear them crying these alligator tears and clutching pearls over the notion that oh, trump didn t give this aid. we have to go impeach him for it. where was all this concern about how to make ukraine when obama was president? they ve never changed, four things. mr. jordan dreams of them in his sleep. both president trump and president zelensky said there was no pressure. we saw the call transcript and no condition. no awareness on the part of ukraine there was a delay in aid and ukraine got the aid without opening the investigation that seems to be so troubling to democrats. everything you are going to
