american history. i implied the president allowed our kurdish allies to get slaughtered because of personal and business interests that he has. he made that as a throw away line in a private speech. look, i think if this was somebody acting in good faith, this was somebody who wanted to participate with the process and he had information that led him to believe that the president was making life or death decisions based on his financial interests something literally unprecedented in modern american history, he would have gone to congress. he would have gone to an investigative reporter. there ways to get your information out. it s not at a private dinner with investment bankers. i thought that anecdote just showed where his motivation really is. and lastly and briefly he wants a future in this party. he understands if he does a full face turn on donald trump that s not there. unlike some of the other people who i think are leaving the administration, b
over these documents and a group of american citizens got it with the freedom of information application. absolutely. and when my ears perked up was when he said they have dozens of these out there. so everybody subject matter we have been hearing about the last two weeks may turn over more documents. this just goes to show you that once you start peeling back the curtain, all sorts of things come out and congress is going to be very interested in all of this. i think they re going to want to see all of these documents, they re going to want to have hearings on some of these and they may lead to new witnesses what s so significant about this is remember what is going on in march. rudy and his henchmen are trying to cook up all sorts of rumors to get rid of our anti-corruption fighting ambassador, maria yovanovitch, in ukraine. mike pompeo is doing nothing to prevent that. mike pompeo refuses to put out a statement in support of that.
congress, and she is as senior and learned as you get on this, it s not true. it is a fiction. it is perpetrated by russia to have people believe that somehow ukraine, which is in a war with russia, in dispute with russia was the one involved in hacking the election or interfering in the u.s. election. what more, michael, can you say to people who continue to believe this or perpetrate this? there are several different strands to this conspiracy theory. the most i hesitate to use the word legitimate, but the most kind of credible one the then ukrainian ambassador to the united states wrote an op-ed castigating donald trump for comments he made which are rather bizarre and also contradictory. number one donald trump, then candidate trump said most crimeans want to be part of russia just legitimizing and also donald trump i believe in conversation with george stephanopoulos if i m president russia will never invade crimea
speaking under oath. i have no reason to believe that the information that bondy has told me on the record is incorrect. but it goes without saying without question at the statements bondy has made would carry significantly more weight were parnas to say them on the record and under oath to congress. so a big question that s open right now is whether parnas will end up going before congress, taking an oath and sharing what parnas lawyer has shared with me. now, for parnas to do something like that, it would be incredibly risky in part, of course, because he s been indicted in the southern district of new york. so one possible avenue that his lawyers could potentially pursue and which lawyers sometimes pursue when they have a client who both faces criminal exposure before the justice department but also has information that s interesting to congress, one avenue they could look at is trying to get a specific type of
adam schiff tells los angeles times that we ve made it abundantly clear to the president that their failure to permit witnesses to testify and failure to respond to any of our subpoenas has only built the case against them for obstruction of congress. the fact is mulvaney, giuliani, bolton, these people can tell you whether the president told them to do something. the president and others have made it clear he s willing to throw them under the bus. so we don t know what they re going to do. gordon sondland responded to being thrown under the bus or threatened by throwing somebody else back. the other side of this this is assuming mr. giuliani and mr. bolton would tell the truth in the case of mr. giuliani however, the idea this is democratic coup or witch hunt this is the most preposterous statement of them all. the call is coming from inside the house as they say in horror films. the people going to impeach this president are republicans. gordon sondland, not exactly
