that right? correct. and in fact as a matter of policy not of programming, we oftentimes raise our concerns usually in private with countries that we feel are engaged in selective political prosecution and persecution of their opponents. that s george kent who previously served as the senior anti-corruption coordinator in the state department s european bureau saying president trump s pressure campaign was itself a kind of corruption, that it was bad for the u.s. and bad for ukraine, which i think sums up the entire story we heard today. congressman, what did you think of today? what did you learn? well, i had about three take-aways. first, we did learn new information that makes it look like president trump was even more deeply involved than we previously thought. i mean, for him to basically
conditioned on the personal and political interests of the president of the united states? no, mr. goldman, i have not. how republicans attempted to defend the president. is this your regular channel of diplomacy, it s not as outlandish as it could be, is that correct? what the president was up to while the whole world was watching his impeachment hearing. i haven t watched for one minute. and what democrats are planning for a second act. if this is not impeachable conduct, what is? when all in starts right now. it s the ultimate impeachable offense. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. it s here. today the house of representatives held its first public televised hearing into the impeachment of president donald j. trump. it is just the fourth time in american history we have done this kind of thing. so if you re under the age of 20 you were not alive the last time this happened. today the people got a fuller picture of the corrupt abuse of
restaurant to kiev on an open cellphone while people are eating nearby, this is crazy. that s one example of how this administration has completely run rough shot of established norms how the government operates. and then the testimony itself that as you are listening, one, the president is talking so loudly you can actually hear him saying investigations over and over again. and it becomes clear that the driving force here is that these investigations get done over hell or high-water. and it doesn t matter, and it s not for the american interest but really for his interest. and it becomes clear. that s the point republicans wanted to wrestle a bit with today, because they weren t denying the conditionality of the e torsion of the quid pro quo. they were trying to say it was for legitimate interests, it was fine. the president had a strong anti-corruption agenda. what did you think of that? well, look, all you have to
of diplomacy, it s not as outlandish as it could be, is that correct? not as outlandish as it could be. i want to bring in republican strategist tim miller who served in the 2016 presidential campaign. there s two things i always note when i watch republican house members. one is that they don t seem to be aiming their rhetoric to like the middle of the electorate. isn t that an amazing insight? as a kind of persuasive undertaking and i think that was true today, don t you think? for sure. nunes ohm was like a confusion potpourri, crowd strike and gps. i don t know understand how a swing voter watching that could even understand and translate what they were saying unless they were steeped in this shawn
