eliminate their land holding. and as the director mentioned earlier, the isis philosophy isn t going away. and in some cases, they ll seek some revenge here. all of that was important. and you could not have done it without those kurdish forces. and all of that information that gets collected across all of syria in that battlefield feeds back to a place that likely contributed to this successful event. and you can t do it without those allies, of which, candidly, we just walked away from. the white house has released this photograph, i want to put it up, it s from the situation room, as the decision, i guessing, was made or as they were watching the raid go down, president trump saying he was able to watch a lot of it as it happened, although he wouldn t go into detail about how exactly that happened. you know, it s interesting, general clapper, president trump was very eager to praise and
we also just learned just now from a republican lawmaker who came out from this deposition. i asked him if mike pompeo, the role of mike pompeo was discussed behind those closed doors. he said yes, it was. he wouldn t go into a lot of details, but we know that s a big question, especially for democrats and these geshl investigators on what role mike pompeo had. what did he know about the shadow state department operating in ukraine, and what did he do about it? but richard, we are also told that we could have at least two more hours left of this deposition, so the day is not over yet. which has been typical for those who have come to give testimony so far on the hill. kelly, your white house correspondent hat on right now and the ruling that came down from the federal judge saying this is legitimate. on top of that you must turn over documents that are related to the mueller report.
couple of months before her normal rotation would have ended and in her opening statement with fox news, has gained access to basically says she was taught by state department officials president trump wanted her head because of allegations that she had been disloyal, but state department officials or bosses thought she had done everything right, and what this comes in the midst of his allegations that rudy giuliani and those two guys who were arrested yesterday and charged just as they are about to get on a plane and leave the country, that they were, in fact exercising the campaign, because she wouldn t go along with efforts to try to dig up research on joe biden. but this is very interesting and for all the allegations against the bidens and they are certainly worth investigating, the only people that face criminal charges at this point in the whole ukraine matter are
they were serious when they said they re going to move quickly. this only came out a week and a half ago. we re already seeing them say we need to talk to rudy giuliani. it was only a matter of time since he s really at the heart of this ukrainian controversy, had met with ukrainian officials to carry out trump s wish to investigate joe biden. you mentioned those text messages. democrats want to see those text messages to see if anybody else in the state department had been coordinating with them, who else was part of this effort. it s only been two weeks, and we are seeing them move like lightning right now . they are serious about having an impeachment vote before the holidays, and we re seeing that right here. to prove your point, here s the calendar that we know of. here s what the house intel is doing. mar marie year-over-ye she was recalled under sort of dubious conditions, you know, the reporting is that she wouldn t go along with the
here because there has not been a single incidence really of the oversight. and with all due respect to members of congress and the house where they ve succeeded in getting a major document or witness other than mueller to come up there and give them information. and even that woupd up being in the eyes of many, kind of a disappointment because he wouldn t go much beyond what was in his report. and even theit was kind of a stilted delivery. so, you know, next week i think by this time next week we will have a very good answer assuming that the dni does come through with this whistle-blower complaint. the extent to which the president and now the reporting is eight times pressured the ukrainians to collect dirt, we ll have a good sense of whether or not that all is true. that was the wall street germ reporting eight times president trump brought up his demand on
