power. they ought to be equally before starting, protect yourself enjop impeachable. and i think it drives home the from an unexpected one, like a cardiovascular event. idea that if the president is are you doing enough? not removed from office over ask your doctor if it s time for xarelto®. this, there is no reason to think he won t do it again. final thought? to learn more about cost and how janssen can help, couldn t agree more. he he can t see the difference between his own visit xarelto.com. personal interests and the country s. he puts his own interest first. he he thinks his call was perfect because he doesn t he doesn t perceive there s any interest that overrides his. all right. that does it for us. my thanks to matt miller, george conway, paul butler. at outback, steak & oh no, it s gone.ck. claire mccass till. most of all, to you for phew, it s back with lobster mac & cheese. it s gone again. watching. that does it for us. oh, it s back with shrimp now! mtp d
Investigator here? do i have faith in david weiss, no, john, absolutely not. the evidence is clear. he basically tried to create a settlement, a plea agreement that was never done before. basically if the judge did not stop him in delaware, hunter biden would be off scott free. so i don t have any any credibility or any trust in david weiss. david weiss has not demonstrated any intent or desire to prosecute hunter biden. you prosecute hunter biden, you prosecute joe biden. and that s what david weiss will not do because everyone knows that the department of justice, the fbi is in bed with the democratic party and they have weaponized the departments. john: you mentioned the interview that brian kilmeade did with shokin over the weekend that aired on one nation, an excerpt where shokin says he believes joe biden took a bribe in a quid pro quo scheme.
Schumer started out asking only for four. well, they should. that s commonly what s understood. you bring witnesses in. the republican argument, the republicans have defended trump by saying two things. one is there aren t enough facts to show the bribery scheme, the quid pro quo scheme, and the second argument was yeah, trump did it but his motive was pure. so it seems to me, the four witnesses, as you ve pointed out, if you could get barr in there, pompeo in there, these witnesses could show it. right now we re at a 47-47 impasse. in the case of nixon, 60% of the republican wanted nixon removed. . in case of clinton, 73% of the public didn t want him removed. so it is as much about winning in the court and the senate. to your point, even against that public opinion back drop, they brought in three witnesses to that senate trial and that
Is the senate going to participate in a coverup by denying four very, very important fact witnesses that can shed important information that we don t have on the table at this point. as schumer is pointing out, there are senators who are saying, yeah, there aren t enough facts to persuade me there really was this bribery or quid pro quo scheme. so i think schumer is onto something here. peter, you were also there, covering it, and you ve written a book on impeachment. you weigh in on that. i think it is fair to say that by the time it got to the senate in 1999 the witnesses had been heard from but the difference was they had been heard from in a grand jury and no member of the house or the senate had actually seen them face-to-face. they had never seen them even on video. remember, these grand jury proceedings took place behind closed doors and the house members and senate members were dealing entirely off of transcripts. so the reason why it mattered to have those three witnesses
Quid pro quo. because president zelensky would be the target of any alleged quid pro quo scheme, his statements denying any pressure carries significant weight. he is, in fact, the supposed victim here. other senior ukranian government officials confirmed president zelensky s statements. foreign minister prostikos said on september 21st, i know what the conversation was about and i think there was no pressure. alexander danny luc who was secretary of ukraine s defense counsel told ambassador taylor that the night of the call, they were not disturbed by anything on the call. president trump, of course, has also said he did not pressure president zelensky. on september 25th, president
