July 25 phone call, fiona hill who was in a meeting between sondland and the ukrainians in the white house who have testified that they raised concerns about the president s conduct and people around the president s conduct regarding ukraine. Do you share any of those concerns . Do you think anything you have seen or heard so far from these fact witnesses is alarming and inappropriate . Rep. Walden the question is whether we deserve to have the president duly elected removed from office. That is the threshold of impeachment. When i went through the transcript, i was not happy.

But no one said there is a crime. I dont think it rises to the level of taking a president out of office. Of does it rise to the level what nancy pelosi said earlier this year, which is she would withove forward impeachment unless it was bipartisan. One of the great tragedies of this process we are being dragged through is it is highly partisan. It was not that way under clinton or nixon. The minority had certain rights. The president had certain rights. They set up a very partisan process which has done in the country a great disservice. President s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, travel to root ukraine to con
