last couple weeks. number one, trump withheld foreign aid and dangled a white house visit. he requested that ukraine investigate his political rivals. and the foreign aid and the white house visit were conditioned, connected to the political investigation. these are the quid pro quos we ve heard so much about. that boils down to a quid pro quo. exactly. then, what does house judiciary do? the judiciary committee is going to ultimately have to take these articles of impeachment, present them to the full house for a vote. but to break down the pieces let s break it down. he withheld foreign aid and dangles the white house visit. this is not even disputed. $400 million in foreign aid was withheld. the witnesses said that was unusual and unexplained. it was against the united states and ukraine s national interests. we heard, i think really compelling testimony from george kent about the ongoing war, the deaths that ukrainians were suffering and how america s
is doing. if they do put it up because they are crazy. adam schiff is a nut job. listen to this adam schiff gets up before congress answered made up my statement. brian: right. we have made that. steve: right. who made that statement? there is only one person i want more than where s hunter and that is adam schiff. i want to see adam schiff testify about the whistleblower who is a fake whistleblower because the whistleblower report was about my conversation with the president of ukraine. it bore no relationship. it said there were seven or eight quid pro quos. there were none. dana: impeachment not the only investigation on the president s mind. as we wait for doj and watchdog michael horowitz to release his findings on the origins of the 2016 russian probe. the president respondin respond reports a former fbi employee altered a key document related to the surveillance of former campaign advisor carter page. they were spying on my campaign, and it went right up to the top and
weird. let me play sound of sondland saying that. yeah. did the president ever tell you personally about any preconditions for anything? no. okay. so the president never told you about any preconditions for the aid to be released? no. the president never told you about any preconditions for a white house meeting? personally, no. yeah well, the president himself made a big deal about this call in september when sondland called him to see, you know, about the aid and the president said no quid pro quos, no you know, i want nothing. i want nothing. all the republicans are saying that. but it happened just as the whistle-blower complaint landed on capitol hill. his cover was blown. the president s cover. the president s cover and it
also in the war room. that s absurd. they don t accept the documentary evidence, all the text messages about quid pro quos, are we really saying and that s crazy, and if my worst nightmare is the russians will get it, i ll quit. they don t accept the documents, the few documents that we have from the state department that weren t produced by the way by the state department where sondland communicates directly with the secretary of state about this investigative interest of the president, and they don t accept the documents either, i guess the documents are also hearsay. now, might be a little more convincing if they were joining us in demanding that the documents be produced, but, of course, they re not. and we know why not. because the documents are like that one we saw on the screen, they implicate others including secretary pompeo. so, of course, donald trump and secretary pompeo don t want us to see those documents. but apparently that s all
in court unless the jury was also in the ward room. that s absurd. they don t accept the documentary evidence, all the text messages about quid pro quos and are we really saying and that s crazy and if my worst nightmare is the russians will get it, i ll quit, they don t accept the documents, the few documents that we have from the state department that weren t produced by the way from the state department where sondland communicates directly with the secretary of state about this investigative interest of the president. they don t accept the documents either. i guess the documents are also here. now, might be a little more convincing if they were joining us in demanding that the documents be produced. but of course they re not. and we know why not. because the documents are like that one we saw on the screen. they implicate others including secretary pompeo. so of course donald trump and
