this call has been echoed by another former labor mp john would cook since taking over in twenty fifteen corbin's leadership of the party has been plagued by allegations of antisemitism. some of the accusations stem from coleman's possible for pro palestinian causes and refusal to adopt a universally accepted definition of anti semitism. the position coleman has since revised. the party seeming refusal to crack down on racicim within its ranks and other internal strife has caused several prominent labor members to quit in the past year this country. the latest of those to step down is deputy leader of the labor party i'm cold and second camara tom watson. it is that you see the fifty two y yer old morrison pro european has ofteten class. especially over his unclear brexit policy. technician lesser watson played down these differences now is the right time for me to stand down from the house of commons and started different kind of life this decision is personal not political. watson will stay in his position until a snap election t takes place on december twelfth with parliament's now di

cooking up this pressure scheme against the ukrainians. it was giuliani and mulvaney. and as you noted in your wonderful setup, when johnferred to the fact that i won't be part of any drug deal, meaning any illegal improper arrangement, he called it sondland's and mulvaney's drug deal. >> he said cooking up. you're making an inference. he could have meant that he was worried about using heat or fire to create drugs in the white house. >> yeah, exactly. >> not ruling that out. >> they're doing crystal meth there. they're watching "breaking bad" and that's what they're doing, which might be an easier out than what they're doing. >> one could argue some of the penalties for certain low level drug offenses are lower than the kind of federal corruption cases paul needs to prosecute. >> mulvaney has gotten to be a more critical player, plus as you know there was his confession in front of national tv. >> yeah. >> so the fact that he is talking about this openly and publicly certainly would undermine any claim he has. >> any privilege. >> to absolute immunity. not executive, but absolute immunity. don't even know what it circu

the references to the investigations, to what the money was conditioned on, to what john bolton objected to being cooked up as a quote drug deal, to what crazy meant in ambassador taylor, i thought all that was well done. i did think as a stylistic matter, some of the republican questioning landed a few blow, brian. because it tried to argue not a legal case but a more of a larger kind of a so what? what really happened? what really went wrong here? what was the specific harm? and the answer to that question might take more time to answer. the democrats and witnesses laid it out and there is harm and i think our analysts have, as well. but stylistically, you see that in trials as well. it's not saying nothing happened, it's poking holes in how bad it there may be people yeah, did it rise to the level of removal and do those points cut against convicting the president in a senate trial. >> ari melber, thank you. we are going to dip back into the hearing room for a second because as a committee they are taking on a motion to subpoena the whistle-blower in a closed-door deposition. >> mr. maloney, ms. demi

cooking up. >> former national security adviser john bolton, secretary of state pompeo, and acting white houseaney have emerged as key players in the scandal. but democrats are moving forward this morning without hearing from them. let's bring in michael smerconish. so michael, fiona hill sure had a lot of information about how john bolton the former national security adviser felt in realtime as they were watching this scheme unfold. i want to play one more moment for you of what she said his reaction to rudy giuliani was. watch this. >> ambassador bolton had looked pained, basically indicated with body language there was nothing much we could do about it. and he then in the course of that discussion said that rudy giuliani was a hand grenade that was going to blow everyone up. >> michael, it would sure be interesting to hear from john bolton. >> so maybe from a pro-impeachment standpoint you've already got the best of bolton in the record through fiona hill and through ambassador taylor with that testimony he offered about being directed to send a first-person cable to secretary pompeo withou

she said john bolton told me to say i'm not a part of the drug deal beingrt orchestrated by mi mulvaney and sondland, by what they're cooking up. the democrats quite skilled at bringing all the relevant witnesses, all the firsthand witnesses to the misconduct at the center of the impeachment scandal, which is donald trump's conditioning, military aid in a meeting with zelensky on investigations into biden in 2016. >> absolutely. you know, fiona hill is a lawyer's dream witness. not so not only is they sticking to facts, she's not allowing herself to be pulled in to anything edoutside of her specic knowledge but she is also importantly -- whenow she said won't answer that because of executive caprivilege, from a credibility standpoint what that communicated is whether or not it's a legitimate privilege, i won't take a side. i won't cross that line. when shes comes back to john bolton on that critical july 10th day, just yesterday sondland said i don't remember john bolton being upset. we took a picture. it was great. he went upset. she doesn't say exactly the same thing as lieutenant colonel vind mvin vindman, but she does m

cooked up. for example, the statement by the former national security adviser john bolton that he didn't want any as he called it, drug deal that was being cooked up. but we will hear from at least two firsthand witnesses, right? ambassador sondland, as you talked about. we know what he's already said in his revised testimony when he refreshed his recollection. he basically said, yeah, that's what was happening. we'll hear from i lieutenant colonel vindman. and here's an important point too. the president who frequently says i'm the most transparent guy out there is not letting, is refusing to permit other people like his chief of staff who presumably had conversations with him about this to come testify. he is refusing to permit e-mails from phone calls and other documents that might actually shed some light on this to come forward. and the american people need do themselves a question which is given the outlines that have been developed and that will be developed by firsthand testimony next week, is refusing to allow others to testify and to produce documents, is that the baer of an innocent pe

after what they both heard, she says john bolton told her, "i am not part of whatever drug deal ambassador gordon sondland and acting chief of staff mick mulvaney are cooking up." republicans taking aim at hill's credibility, but she stood by her account. and the other witness who described what he heard in a president in ukraine, president trump right through the phone. abc's mary bruce leads us off from the hill tonight. >> reporter: fiona hill came to congress calling it her moral obligation and she brought with her a message for the committee. >> some of you on this committee appear to believe that russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country. and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, ukraine did. this is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the russian security services themselves. >> reporter: she testified the conspiracy theory was being promoted by the president's personal attorney, rudy giuliani, and that the president was listening. >> is it your understanding, then, that president trump disregarded the advice of his senior officials about this theory and instead listened to rudy g

july 10th meeting, that led to national security adviser john bolton to allegedly say i am not part of whatever drug deal sopbd and mulvaney are cooking up. hill is expected to call on members of congress not to endorse fictional narratives that ukraine, rather than russia, interfered in the 2016 election. that's key. look for her to push back about that. and she will also single out the potential impact of the president's impacts to national security. she will tell the committee this, quote, if the president or anyone else impedes or subverts the national security of the united states in order to further domestic political or personal interests, that is more than worthy of your attention. we're also going to hear from david holmes, a state department employee who has given private testimony about an extraordinary cell phone conversation between ambassador sondland at a ukraine restaurant. he said he could hear it because the president was shouting so loud through the phone. he witnessed that discussion about zelensky's white house visit. let's bring in margaret brennan, moderator of "face the nation" who has been with us and also cov

cook up a drug deal. >> specific instruction was that i had to go to the lawyers to john eisenburg to basically say you hat i'm not part of this whatever drug deal that mulvaney and sondland are cooking up. >> what did you understand him to mean by the drug deal they are cooking up? >> i took it to mean investigations for a meeting. >> did you go speak to the lawyers? >> i did. >> she certainly did. when you hear about a drug deal, you talk to the lawyers. you had this explosive testimony. you have trump's million dollar donor turned ambassador blowing the lids off everything and saying we do crime. we do quid pro quo bribely and rudy giuliani is the person running the point. >> was there a quid pro quo? the answer is yes. i followed the directions of the president. we did not want to work with mr. rudy giuliani. simply put, we were playing the hand we were dealt. mr. rudy giuliani's requests were a quid pro quo for arranging a white house visit for president zelensky. every one was in the loop. it was no secret. >> but it was a secret to every one else. no skreecret within the administration or maybe t

john bolton? he described what mulvaney and sondland and jewrudy giuliani w cooking up as a drug deal. you don't use that phrase unless you are intending to communicate what i saw was wrong and it was criminal. even if he did have a privilege, it should evaporates because he had information about crime that he could bring to congress' attention. what bolton is trying to do by having his lawyer to tease the american people saying he's got some great stuff to tell you all. he's trying to sell his upcoming book and that i think shows he has no sense of what being a public servant is about. it is selfless service and not self-motivated or self-promotional. it should be self-less on behalf of the american people. >> glenn, thank you, hans as well to both of you. rudy giuliani, you will remember this name. parnas, he delivered a warning to the in coming ukrainian leadership in may. a lawyer for parnas tells new york times that he told the ukrainian government that it had to announce the investigation into mr. trump's political rival biden jr. or his son or mike pence would not attend the swe

and she is the one who expressed concern and quoted john bolton directly as referring to what mulvaney and sondland were cooking a drug deal, saying he didn't want any part of it. and i think she can talk a little bit more about why bolton was so upset with ambassador sondland and maybe even with the president himself. i mean, in also underscores why we need to hear from john boltonen in all of in because he is so central to all of this. but he clearly wanted the aid to go to ukraine immediately. and he was upset. and he called what mulvaney and sondland were doing a drug deal. he -- and i think she heard it. and she understood what bolton's concerns were all along. and she can talk about that tomorrow. >> elie. they say that sondland's testimony completely exonerates the president. >> they are relying on the line of questions did donald trump tell you this a brib, quid pro quo? that said, there are plenty of things in the direct conversation that is sondland had with trump, limited as he admitted that are important. first of all when he called him on july 26th, when they had the call from the restaurant, he --

john eisenberg. it basically you go until my am not part of any drug deal and mick mulvaney are cooking up. term drug deal refers to the probe they were trying to initiate. the other thing from the transcript is also involves an exchange that she has relating to house investigators with john bolton. she says his reaction was discussing the firing of the former ambassador to ukraine going to come in for testimony and basically said rudy giuliani is a hand grenade and he is going to blow everybody up. in fact, he made it clear he didn't feel there was anything he could personally do about it. that is something that he is certainly going to be asked about when she appears for the house committee next friday. >> dana: the other transcript was he was on the phone call and said he started to flag how the call between trump was handled which was the appropriate way to handle it in terms of if you have concerns, that's what you are supposed to do. >> had a lot of reservations about what they did with the phone call afterwards and here are some of his testimony as well. he said i did not think it wa

hill was directed to report this to john eisenberg said you go and tellizeenbe ize eisenber part of the drug deal their cooking up on them. and you tell them what we saw and heard. and dr. hill did as well as mr. vindman. hol holmes participated in a video conference on ukraine. towards the end they announced the flow of nearly $400 million in $ security assistance to ukraine was being held up. the order came from the president and was con vaveyed t mick mulvaney without any prior explanation. holmes was shocked, he thought the withholding the aid was shocking. one week later on july 25th, president trump spoke with president zelensky by phone, when he brought up u.s. military support andup noted that ukrain would liketh to buy more javeli anti-tank missiles, trump responded saying i would like you to do us a favor though. even more ominously, he asked zelensky to look into the biden. neither request had been prepared in the talking points, but both in donald trump's perm intere -- personal interests and the interests of 2020 campaign. and they knew about the efforts to make them aware of demands. the next day

cooked up in moscow. this is the party of ronald reagan. >> and john kennedy, for speaking out yesterday, saying it could have been ukraine instead of russia, who hacked the dnc. >> john kennedy is one of many, propulgating these theories. they're also villifying these dedicated civil servants, military fors and others who have testified, including questioning lieutenant colonel vindman's loyalty to this country. they're willing to say and do anything to defend this president. the only thing they're not able to do or say is mount a defense because it's clear donald trump is guilty and republicans try to keep changing the topic because when it comes to the evidence, they don't have a case. >> let's see what two more weeks bring, or maybe just another day. thank you, max, jennifer. >>> coming up next, the secretary of the navy pushed out over the war crimes case of a navy s.e.a.l., and a whole lot of involvement by president trump. so, what really happened? and what is the impact now? we're back after this. >>> the pentagon in turmoil right now after richard spencer is fired. edward gallagher had been demo

out there, and you know, that there was a corrupt deal being cooked up and for example the statement by the former national security adviser john that he did not want any part of this as he called it drug deal that was being cooked up. but we will hear from at least two firsthand witnesses. >> congressman jim himes there and number two on the house intelligence committee suggesting that the case against the president is engaging in a quid pro quo is not dependent on gordon sondland's testimony due wednesday. joining me is charlie savage, and betsy swan, the politics report for the daily beast, and both of you are msnbc contributors. so, charlie, is there enough evidence to support the case against the president as jim himes was suggesting? >> well, there is three categories of the outcome here, and spin that you could put on it. one, trump did not do it, and this is an earnest advancement of the foreign policy goals, and the effort of gaining, personal campaign dirt, and two is that he did do it, but it is no big deal, and not an impeachable offense and it was a perfect call, and the third is that he did do it, and wrong, but i

john bolton ends the meeting. he's like, can't do this. bolton referred to what they were cooking up as, quote, a drug deal. after that sondland takes ukrainian officials aside and tells them, according to testimony, a meeting with trump is conditioned on a public announcement of investigation into the bidens. number seven, lieutenant colonel alexander vindman. decorated war hero, a really interesting guy, fluent in ukrainian and russian. this guy was so freaked out by everything that was going on that he goes to nsc's top lawyer twice to raise red flags about it. he also reportedly testified that he was convinced there was a quid pro quo even before trump's infamous phone call with the ukrainian president. number eight, tim morrison. he replaced fiona hill at the national security council. in his hearing tim morrison confirmed bill taylor's testimony that there was in fact a quid pro quo. number nine, this is one little piece of evidence buried in the record. you might have missed it. that's the chief of staff to the president mick mulvaney got up in front of live cameras and just said to 330 million ameri

point out, john bolton, everyone want noto know what john bolton what he called the drug deal that mick mulvaney and sarah sanders gordon sondland cooked up. and he hasn't said that publicly. he's waiting for a different lawsuit that's in the courts right now filed by his deputy charles kupperman. but this lawsuit may give some bearing on that -- in fact, it depends how the judge rules, if the such rules expansively that don mcgahn has to testify that there's very little weight to the arguments that might encourage john bolton to come forward. on the other hand, bolton's lawyers say it's swlal different because it doesn't involve national security in the same way john bolton's would. >> i want to get to john bolton in a moment. i want to ask you a question, peter, on mick mulvaney, more papers linking him to this, asking omb for a legal justification. what's the story behind that? >> well, look, you know, this was done of course, at the president's direction. the president told mick mulvaney to have the aid frozen. mick mulvaney told his staff to have that done. it was mentioned on a conference call across the government. all of them w
