the reason people like steve are laying out the case that this has happened another way with both parties and different administrations, universally it s wrong. it s not just wrong because donald trump did something. so we have to that sort of pointed political sphere, you have to recognize that that is sort of a sharp blade cutting both ways and that s very inconvenient for democrats right now. we have to be very careful. i think democrats should be more careful because the lens looking back on the obama administration will be very unkind and in terms of burisma, that is a state-funded energy company. so yes, there is a direct connection. steve: just one detail i d like to put out that which is that ed markey, one of the senators here, he is the sponsor of the green a new deal, he
the u.s. taxpayer to burisma. both of them defied congressional subpoenas and refused to appear, as is the case with other witnesses who have done the same thing. this will be further evidence and effort by the administration to obstruct the constitutional duties of congress. we expect the witnesses who have been subpoenaed to come in this afternoon, also to be no-shows. this will only further add to the body of evidence on a potential obstruction of congress charge against the president. indeed, in the nixon impeachment there was an article of impeachment based on the obstruction of congress that itemized each of the subpoenas the white house had to find. today we have four additional subpoenas to add to the list with a potential charge involving the president of the united states and his
account of burisma while hunter biden was on the board. the other financial information that we know, that burisma after hunter biden went on the board, they hired as a lobbyist guy called david later marie: who i had never heard of, by the way. steve: john kerry s secretary of state at the time. he paid $90,000 by burisma, makes $60,000 of donations to democrats, three of them, richard blumenthal, then pressed the administration to specifically give aid to the ukrainian gas industry. marie: but not burisma, and this is the point. i get to say my piece because you just did yours. you laid out a bunch of facts and you are making insinuations about why u.s. policy was in place to support the ukrainian gas industry. the entire western world wanted to crackdown on corruption.
