These events. By obligation, you mean your legal obligation or did you mean something bigger . Both my legal obligation and my moral obligation. Your moral obligation. I actually want to present an alternative theory. Your family came here escaping the holocaust via uruguay. Your parents moved, lucy and later you, here. Youve done that american Success Story through dint of hard work and innovation, good idea, a knack for hiring the right people and some look, youve built up considerable, successful business, one that i know for a fact would make your parents proud. They came here because they knew that it was here that they could
have freedom that they had not enjoyed, security that they had not enjoyed, and opportunity that they had not enjoyed. No doubt on some level, youre grateful and its created a sense of patriotism in you. Is that fair to say . Very fair. Why, sir, with your courage to come before us, does that same standard not apply to mr. Mulvaney, mr. Duffy, mr. Pompeo, mr.
diplomacy is quote-unquote absolutely false. isn t that right? that s correct. the presumption that military aid was conditioned on investigations was based on manes statement that we saw the video. isn t that right? i didn t have the benefit of that time of mulvaney s statement. you would stand by the presumption based on what you know now. correct. on september 1, when you told andre your mock your presumption, what you told us about military aid andre your mock you told mr. morrison what he told yermak and mr. morrison did not try to dispute your presumption. i don t recall him disputing it. i think i went over to him and repeated the conversation. when you told vice president pence your concerns, he did not disputed. he didn t respond. he listened.
