- BOTH MADE DEMANDS ON THE - UKRAINIANS, FIRST TO CAST - SUMMONS -- ASPERSIONS T ON - LEADING CANDIDATE AGAINST THE - PRESIDENT AT THE TIME, AND THE - UKRAINIANS FOR INTERFERING INHE - THE 2016 ELECTION, WHICH IS A - WAY OF EXCADING WHAT IR - PUTIN DID. - THERE IS NO RUSSIAN HOAX, - MUELLER REPEATS WHAT EVERY - AGENCY OF GOVERNMENT AGREED TO, - THAT THERE WAS A SYSMATIC AND - VAST INTERFERENCEEL IN THE - TION IN 2016. - THE PRESIDENT ENCOURAGED THAT - KIND OF INTERFERENCE AND THE - UKRAINE EXAMPLE, IT IS LIKE THE - WATERGATE BREAK-IN. - IT IS ONE INSTANCE WHERE, OF A - LARGER PROJECT THAT UNDERMINED - E NEXT ELECTION. - MADE WORSE BY THE USE OF A - FOREIGN POWER. - JUDY: WE ARE HEARING TWO - DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS. - MICHAEL, YOU SERVED ON A
- COMMITTEE, THE INTELLIGENCE - COMMITTEE FOR A NUMBER OF YEA. - STAFF DIRECTOR. - DID YOU HEAR TODAY SOMETHING - THAT MATERIALLYHANGED THE - SCALES IN THIS ARGUMENT? - MICHAEL: NA YET. - WE HAVONG WAY TO GO. - TODAY WAS, THE DEMOCRATSFOR MOST - ABLE TO LAY OUT A CRIME? - E TO ANSWER ESTION, WHY ARE - WE HERE? - THE CRIME IN THIS CASE WOULD BE, - WHERE THEY CONVINCED THE - PRESIDENT CONDITIONED AID? - AND THEN THEY NEED TOT ANSWER, - DOESTTER? - WAS NATIONAL SECURITY HURT? - THIS IS WHERE YOU SOME - REPUBLICANS ADVANCE A SERIES OF - ARGUMENTS WHICH ARE BASICALLY, A - WAS DELAYED, IT WAS NOT - WITHHELD. - NO INVESTIGATION OCCURRED LIKE - THE PRESIDENT ALLEGEDLY ASKED - FOR. - NOR WERE THERE ANY ENSUING
- STATEMENTS THAT CAME OUT IN SIN - YOU WAITING THAT VICE PRESINT - BIDEN HAD DONE ANYTHING WRONG. - WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT I - DON'T THINK THE DEMOCRATS HAVE - QUITE YET GOTTEN OVER THE - HURDLES THEY NEED TO ESTABLISH. - JUDY:YO SAME QUESTION T - IT WHATEAE TODAY CHANGE OUR - UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS THE - DEMOCRATS SAY THE PRESIDENT DID? - MIEKE: A LOT OF THE FACTS WE - HEARD WERE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. - UTTHE BASICNES OF THIS - INQUIRY S BEEN OUT SINCE THE - PRESIDENT RELEASED THE CALL - RECORD EARLIER. - WE HAVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME - TH THE PRESIDENT WAS BRINGING - PRESSURE TO BEAR AGAINST UKRAINE - OR HIS INVESTIGATION OF THE 2016 - ELECTIONS, AND WHAT WE HEARD - TODAY WAS IMPORTANTONXT, - SETTING WHAT NATIONAL SECURITY - POLICY IS. - WHYPT ANTICORN EFFORTS WERE - IMPORTANT AND WHY UKRAINE WAS - INTERESTED IN MAINTAINING USAID, - WHY IT WAS SUCH A DIVERSIONS TO - SEE THIS ATTEMPTUK TO PUSINE - INTO THESE OTHER INVESTIGATIONS. - DIFFERENT FROM WHAT HAD BEEN
- DONE. - WE WENT SO FAR, WE HEARD - CONGRESSWOMAN SPIEIER SAY THERE - IS EVIDENCE OF BRIBERY. - DID THAT COME THROUGH TO YOU? - BOYDEN: DID NOT COME THROUGH TO - ME. - TO ME IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY - WENT THROUGH.TLY WHY THEY'D - I THINK A LOT OF DIFFERENT - REASONS. - THEY WERE RUNNING OTIME. - TEY HAD TO DO IT BECAUSE - 30TH WAS A DROPDEAD DAY. - BUT HE WENT THROUGH -- THEY WENT - THROUGH, THERE WAS NOTRANSACTI'Y - REQUEST FOR HEARINGS OR AN - INVESTIGATION, SO WHAT HAPPENED? - A LOT OF CONFUSION, A LOT OF - TALK. - I HATE TO SAY THIS ABOUT ANY - PRESIDENT, BUT THIS PRESIDENT IS - NOT KNOWN FOR HIS CONSISTENCY - AND HE CHANGEDIS MIND MANY
- TIMES ON MANY ISSUES. - THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ACTUALLY - HAPPENED? - WHAT HAPPENED WAS NOTHIN - JUDY: CAN WE SAY THERE IS A LACK - OF CLARITY IN ALL OF THIS THAT - IN THE END, THE WHITE HOUSE - REPUBLICANS CAN ARGUE, AND - AGAIN, THE AID FLOWED IN THE - END. - EKE: ONE MISTAKE REPUBLICANS - ARE MAKING IS INSISTING THAT THE - AIDE HAD TO BE COMPLETED. - TAWHEN W ABOUT A GOVERNMENT - OF -- OFFICIAL MAKING A DEMAND - THAT IS NOT IN THE NATIONAL - INTEREST, NOT PART OF THEIR - OFFICIAL DUTIES, THERE IS A - PERSONAL BENEFIT, THE REQUEST - ITSELF CAN BE A CRIME. - THE REQUEST ITSELF IS - PROBLEMATIC. - PEOPLE TALK ABOUT BRIBERY IN THE - CONSTITUTION, THAT IS ONE IN THE - LIST OF CRIMEAD - THE RESULT BNDERSTANDING - OF BRIBERY. - IT WAS ABOUT SELF-ENRICHMENT. - LOTS OF PEOPLE THINK THIS IS - MORE LIKE EXTORTION OR PRESSURE - BEING BROUGHT TO BEAR BY -- ON
- SOMEONE UNWILLING TO DO - SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT TO DO. - MICHAEL: THE QUESTION IS, IS IT - A HIGH CRIME OR MISDEMEANOR - DESERVING OF NEGATING A - PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND MOVING - A PRESIDENT? - THAT IS THE THING WE HAVE TO - CONFRONT AS A COUNTRY. - THAT IS WT THEEMOCRATS ARE - TRYING TO DO BY LAYING OUT THEIR - CASE OVER THIS SERIES OF WEE. - TODAY IS ONLY THE FIRST DAY. - I DON'T THINK THEY WE ABLE TO - HIT THE MARK BUT IT IS EARLY. - IT IS A TREMENDOUSLY HIGH BAR - AND THAT IS WAY THE FOUNDERS - INTENDED IT TO BE. - WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. - JUDY: THIS CAME UP IN MY - CONVERSATION WITH JACKIE SPEIER. - THE FACT THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS - NOT WILLING TOLLOW MOST - ADMINISTRATION OFFICO - TESTIFY, SOME ARE TESTIFYING - UNDER SUBPOENA BUT THE FACT THAT - THEY HAVEN'T WAED TO A LAWFUL - RATE WITH THE INVESTIGATION, - DOES THAT AFFECT HOW WE SHOULD
- UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE HEARING? - BOYDEN: IT IS UP TO THE - INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF THE AOUSE - AND SENA THE END OF THE - DAY, BUT I DON'T THINK IT MAKES - ANY DIFFERENCE. - I THINK THE KEY IS THAT NOTHING - HAPPENED. - JUDY: MEANING -- - BOYDEN: THERE WAS NO - TRANSAION, THERE WAS NO - REQUEST FOR A HEARING, THERE - WERE NO HEARINGS, THERE WAS NO - UPHO OF AID, AID WENT THROUGH, - NO FOUL.S NHARM DONE, NO HARM, - WAS IT MESSY? - WHEN YOU GO INTO A SEPARATE - CHANNEL IN FOREIGN POLICY, WHICH - EVERYBODY, EVERY PRESIDENT HAS - DONE AND EVERY PRESIDENT IN THE - FUTURE WILL DO,K YOU RUN THE R - OF MIXED SIGNALS AND CONFUSION - THEM I THINK THAT IS WHAT - HAPPENED HERE. - BUT NOTHING IN THE END EVER - ACTUALLY HAPPENED. - JUDY: WALTER, ON THIS POINT, AND - ANOTHER POINT THAT WAS RAISED - WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE TWO - MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, IN THE - CONVERSATION THE PRESIDENT HAD
- WITH THE PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, - THERE WASN'T A REFERENCE TO - CORRUPTION BROADLY. - THERE WAS A REFERENCE TO JOE - BIDEN, JOE BIDEN'S SON, AND THE - HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE DOES - THAT DISTINCTION MAKE? - WALTER: IT MAKES A HUGE - DIFFERENCE. - WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A PRESIDE - THAT SEEMS INTENT ON USING THE - POWERS OF HIS OFFICE TO SABOTAGE - THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. - WHAT YOU WILL SEE, THIS IS A - PRESIDENT WHO HAS SHOWN NO - INTEREST IN CORRUPTION ANYWHERE - IN THE WORLD, AT HOME OR ABROAD. - HE WANTED TO USE $400 MILLIDN IN - MILITARYS A LEVERAGE TO - GET THIS PARTICULAR GERNMENT - TO FACILITATE HIS ELECTION - CAMPAIGN BY HARMING HIS SEEMING - STRONGEST OPPONENT. - HE ENCOURAGED THE CHINESE AND - THE RUSSIANS AND GAVE THE - RUSSIANS A GREENIGHT FOR THEIR
- MASSIVE INVOLVEMENT IN THE NEXT - ELECTION. - THAT IS WHY I THINK IT WAS - IMPERATI - JUDY:E POINTED THIS OUT - EARLIER IN THE DAY, BUT - TYPICALLY IN AN IMPEACHMENT - PROCESS, IF THE JUDICIARY - COMMITTEE INVOLVED, IT IS - UNUSUAL TO HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE - COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE INVOLVED. - HOW AWKWARD IS IT? - IT IS PRECEDENT BREAKING. - HOW DOES INTELLIGENCE FIT INTO - THIS STORY? - MIEE: WHEN YOLOOK AT THE TWO - MOST IMPORTANT IMPEACHMENT IN - THE MERN ERA, YOU HAVE AN - INDEPENDENT COUNSEL WHO DID - INVESTIGATIONS THE HOUSE HASWO - DO ITSELF ECAUSE THERE IS - NO WAY THEY COULD GET AN - INDEPENDENT COUNSEL PASSED BD - SIGNEDTHE PRESIDENT. - YOU HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE - COMMITTEE CONDUCTING THE - INVESTIGATION IN PART BECAUSE - INTELLIGENCE COMMIHROUGH - THE WHISTLEBLOWER, IN PART - BECAUSE IT IS FOREIGN POLICYND - IN PART BECAUSE CHAIRMAN SCHIFF
