support the individuals that have been mentioned. i ve read some of them. we ve been inundated by previous letters from attorney general and others who have commented on this behavior. those are all important voices to be heard. we re not finished and don t know what witnesses we may ultimately call in the coming days, so i don t want to close the door on it, but i will say that we had to provide for republican witness and there will be a republican witness tomorrow, of course, who will have a different view. we think we ll gain from those scholars that are present tomorrow, a very detailed presentation to the american people. but chris ge, again, the door i not closed. we want the truth. there s a public education component to this and there s a question of what the law means and what the constitution prescribes, but i imagine there will be the work of drafting the articles. i mean, have you begun discussions in your committee about what those articles would look like, how many ther
serving a few years ago as the chairman of the intelligence committee and watching out for the national security interests of his country, he essentially for a few years now but especially in this ukrainian affair has been acting as a henchman for the president. it looks like he was clearly in bed with these two ukrainians and may have been not somebody who was on the side lines but affectively helping president trump achieve a corrupt and illegal goal of taking out a political rival by conditioning, the ranking member, that s the lead republican member of this committee would be undermining the national security of the united states to help president trump achieve a corrupts goal. there is a note in the report that lev parnas of course one of the two individuals that s been
person who governs did actions that did not go to the benefit of the american people. we want to stand on that tomorrow, and i think you will see an unveiling of that story and then moving to the question of how we frame if we move forward the articles of impeachment. we have a lot to digest, as you have indicated. and i think it s important for people to know that we will be deliberate, thoughtful and not intimidated by any false opposition to us doing our work. congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas will be in that committee hearing tomorrow, thank you very much. thank you for having me. just ahead, how far are republicans willing to go to defend the president? senator cory booker on the conspiracy theories now taking hold among his republican colleagues. right after this.
interference way back when it first started because he was essentially running interference for the white house and was essentially nabbed doing it. this time around he s not recused himself but it does look like there s a little bit of pattern of behavior here. there is. and one of the questions i m working on tonight is, how many of his republican colleagues on the committee and in the house generally knew about this, knew about his personal involvement? i would wager the number is pretty low. minority leader kevin mccarthy earlier tonight was asked about the new revelations, and his only answer was a very terse sort of nunes can call whoever he wants to. which you would think if it had been known previously or more widely they would prepare a better answer about nunes conducting an investigation or whatever he was doing. but i cannot imagine the house republican caucus is very pleased with congressman nunes tonight. there s also a question here about parnas as this kind of
difference, but, yeah, i think he s revealed some, but i think she s still holding back and i think the committee is understandably unsure of whether to trust him. the final point to me about nunes is here s an individual the entire republican talking point was that adam schiff is a fact witness. adam schiff needs to call and he needs to testify and he needs to be sworn under oath and we need to get what adam schiff is hiding. and all the while the ranking member appears to have been at least tangentially at the heart of the facts that are being investigated. i can t think of i know we tend to toss around the term unprecedented when both talking about the impeachment and often the presidency, but i can t think of a recent example of where a member on a committee as serious as the house intelligence committee was both the questioner and the witness. and you go back and look at his questioning of marie yovanovitch
