And when that didn t work, then they came forward with impeachment. it was, oh, let s project what we did on donald trump, but it turned out he didn t do that. and even mueller and weissman, as much as they hated trump, they couldn t find anything to use against president trump. so we had to drop the russian collusion. we had to drop the treason. oh, what about obstruction? just well it s not obstruction of justice when you know you re innocent and you know the department of juls s is tryisti to set you up and you re trying to expose the truth. no, it was others who were obstructing the true justice. vindman, for heavens sake you set that guy up a hero. he wasn t a hero. for those who believe in praying for this country, pray for mercy. we can t afford justice i yield back. ....
Statement was in the context of whether or not he could fire mueller. and, of course, he could fire mueller. he could fire or not fire mueller. he could appoint a special prosecutor to investigate mueller and weissman. i think he should ve. but that s his prerogative. and he could have done anything about that he wanted. to take that out of context. say he thinks he s a king. let me tell you what a king is. a king is someone who says over 20 times, i can t do that. congress has to change the law in immigration. and then he decide, you know what? i gotkn a pen. i got a phone. i ll do whatever i want. and, by golly, he does. he makes new law with a pen and a phone. now, that is more like a monarchy. not somebody saying they can fire a special prosecutor if they want to. and regarding treason, the constitution itself says you got ....
Conspiracy theories than a serious policy or legal person in rudy giuliani. that s exactly right. as you mentioned, i have my investigation binder which is swelling with evidence and testimony, what mr. weissman and mr. rosenberg and others keep in their mind, i have to write it down. they have more experience than i do. but yeah, we keep the call notes handy because remember the question of, oh, will there be tapes. lordy, i hope there are tapes. when you deal with the foreign policy process, there are, as andrew was explaining earlier, very careful notes done through the normal process. and this now declassified by order of the president, september 24th, includes all of that, with the president, as you say, saying, i want you to talk to rudy and my attorney general. wow. if you could speak to them, that would be great. the former ambassador, the woman, quote, was bad news, the people she was dealing with, bad news. the other thing, much talk about bide en s son, biden stopped the p ....
Frozen. that s been proven. we know there was an extortion and bribery plot. that s been alleged by a lot of people who were involved in it. and admitted to by trump and rudy. and donald trump admitting to key elements of it. mr. weissman said earlier if a governor had done this, you d indict on it. so what s the alternative defense? well, you have to have a reason. so who killed who killed the decedent? who killed the person that you re on trial for, if not you? who froze the money and why? and at this late stage, we are way into this. we are way, way into this now. they haven t come up with a public defense to that. it just tells you how desperate, how bad the situation is over there and how probably they don t have enough lawyering going on. i mean, we said that when mulvaney came out and gave a what can only be described as an assist to the other team. the last thing i want to mention is we ve been tracking responses as we look in this committee room tonight filling up for ....
