he s become the president s target on twitter. saying schiff illegally made up a fake and terrible statement pretended it to be mine as the most important part of the call to the ukraine president. and read it allowed to congress and the american people. it bore no relationship to what i said on the call. arrest for treason? fact check this. i did a fact check of what schiff said. i said that what he said was confusing. a confusing paraphrase. trump can make an argument it was misleading. it s not illegal. the constitution has a clause that says you can say whatever you want in the house or senate. or in the committee of the house and senate. and it s not illegal. much less treason. we have seen over and over the president allege treason for things that are just not even close. making up his own definition of
firing? and why? basically the western world was. the entire obama administration including the ambassador to ukraine at the time. the european union and the international fund and others. the reason this prosecutor was widely seen as unwilling to prosecute any kind of elite corruption. he was accused by someone being corrupt himself. in this case involving a natural gas company in ukraine for which biden sat on the board. he was accused in that case of failing to investigate properly. so you can make an argument that vice president biden intervening to get that guy fired actually made it more likely that the company would be investigated. rather than less likely as critics are alleging. ever since house intelligence chairman schiff paraphrased and added analysis to the call transcript. with the acting dni.
unlike the mueller report, democrats are moving quickly. mueller, who was stone cold silent here. the inspector general is out defending the whistle-blower. thank god. saying his information wasn t just secondhand as the president and his allies say. have democrats learned valuable lessons from the mueller investigation, because it wasn t just secondhand and a whistle-blower, it allows secondhand information if so, and it also allows hearsay. let me say this. we are in an impeachment inquiry. that is akin to a grand jury process where hearsay and other things are allowed. but let s be clear about this. what s really important is that this process will move quickly and aggressively, and i think that we ve seen with schiff is that he s going to go to everyone who has information, including rudy giuliani. and if they don t actually participate we are out of time. they have the road map in front of them. thank you all. i ve got to go. i appreciate it. i ll see you next time.
at that point. i m not sure that chairman schiff made a decision on that. i want to defer to his good judgment on that. however it is true that rudy giuliani likes to have a public forum. for whatever he has to say. cnn reporting that secretary of state pompeo was on the july 25 phone call between president trump and the ukraine president. that report seems to contradict what pompeo told the news a week ago. what do you know about the conversations? so, you just gave me a report about it none of which i have seen. it seemed like an artful dodge. he didn t need to read the report to know if he was on the call. did he straight up lie? i don t know. there is a press report that he
