served on the staff of the united states senate. and if you took that oath and you understood that oath and you truly believe in that oath, to defend the constitution, you had to be filled with pride today to watch two people living up to that oath under intense pressure at the witness table in today s impeachment inquiry hearing. what you saw at that witness table was true faith and allegiance. that s another line in the oath. true faith and allegiance to the constitution. our first guest tonight, congressman val demmings, took that oath, and she had this to say to david holmes and fiona hill. policies change, but u.s. interests don t. at least not for those true public servants who are committed and dedicated to protecting our nation. thank you both for being two of them. john bolton wasn t there
congresswoman val demings took that oath, and she had this to say to david holmes and fiona hill. policies change, but u.s. interests don t. at least not for those true public servants who are committed and dedicated to protecting our nation. thank you both for being two of them. john bolton wasn t there today, but he came to life in fiona hill s testimony. she said that in his role as national security advisor john bolton was frustrated that rudy giuliani and trump ambassador to the european union gordon sondland and white house chief of staff mick mulvaney were going outside of normal diplomatic channels to try to force ukraine to conduct an investigation of joe biden and his son. then in the course of that discussion said that rudy giuliani was a hand grenade that was going to blow everyone up. i had to go to the lawyers to john eisenberg.
courtroom that wouldn t be admissible. if donald trump was on trial for x you couldn t bring up all these things you know about his life. but this is different arena. would we hear something like that said, for example, in the judiciary committee when they re considering impeachment? or could that be said, that kind of thing be said in the senate impeachment trial? this is an example of evidence because of the fact that in this case he was allegedly the corruption crime-fighter. and when you have other countries and other things that happen including the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi, he showed no care really. i think, again, a lot of this io depend on what our republican colleagues do, and this is their moment. are they going to put their country first or not? what s your reaction to others having lunch with the president today? it disappoints me. it s not illegal or anything
