So obviously we've been through several weeks, almost a month

of private hearings in the SCIF, the secure room of the Capitol,

where the Intelligence Committee has been

are appearing, testifying to the same thing over and over again.

the president of Ukraine, and Donald Trump,

and whether there was a quid pro quo there in terms of money,

military aid for assistance to dig up dirt

on Democrats inside Ukraine, but also, the broader scheme that

has been going on run largely by Rudy Giuliani, the president's

private attorney, and what that looked like.

So we basically have had testimony in private.

People begin to repeat the narrative so that the Democrats

We have the vote on the Hill in the House

this week where they have now formally set

So I think we're actually going to get to a point

It has been all these hearings in the past.

When we talk about impeachment, and we talk about big scandals,

the big drama the big theatre happens in these big public

And I think that's going to the next thing we're

and start winning over more of the public.

which would have to judge any impeachment hearing?

Are there Republicans in the Senate that will be peeled off

Do you think it's ever appropriate for the president

to use his office to solicit investigations

Soliciting investigations into a domestic political opponent.

I don't think that would be in accord with our values.

not only in the last week, but in the last two weeks,

That phone call, we've had people testifying who were

on that call, including Alexander Vindman,

who basically has testified and said that there was...he was

disturbed by it enough to go to the lawyers at the NSC.

We've also heard testimony from the acting ambassador

to the Ukraine, William Taylor, who has said there was indeed

a quid pro quo that in his eyes, the president was withholding

And remember, the Ukrainians are in a shooting war

with the Russians right now and Russian-backed separatists,

withheld that military aid in exchange for that digging

So we have a lot of meat put on the bones of what we're

initially just a whistleblower complaint, which

include a lot of supposition, a lot of second-hand accounts.

We now have primary accounts of what the president and his men

did to basically push the Ukrainians to do

his own political dirty work inside Ukraine.

the only bipartisan vote on that floor was against.

The question to the speaker are the same questions

I provided in a letter about the unfair process that we had.

In all the hearings, there's nothing compelling,

So the speaker should follow her own words

and in the sham that has been putting this country

There has been White House talking points

on the president's call being of no issue

and of being not particularly controversial.

You haven't heard the Republicans on the Hill
