i think it was eli's point that these guys are bunchiying time.hat's all they can do for the main reason is they don't know what's coming next. they don't know what other mistakes or steps the president might take. they don't know whether he will come out onto the lawn tomorrow and call for another investigation by another foreign country or whether the white house will shift them out. the vast majority of republicans is to say i'm a juror, i am not touching this yet. it's the safest thing. it has the benefit of being true and making them look a little bit more statesman esque to say i am not touching this yet. there are too many potential shoes waiting to drop. >> let me ask you too, garrett, right before we came on the air that deposition became underway, it's with pentagon official laura cooper it was delayed because of the shenanigans there behind you. are you hearing anything about what the sort of focus will be for her deposition today? she is there under subpoena. >> reporter: she is there under subpoena. i'll come back to that. democrats w

eli, what's below that headline?e's been a conflation in some of the recent stories this week in terms of the president's request of the australian prime minister to work with the attorney general on this investigation. that is not the same thing as the issue with the bidens and the conversation with ukraine. ukraine, this is well known that there is a current probe by u.s. attorney durham and attorney general barr as well as the desk of the inspector general to look at the overall investigation of the trump campaign both in 2016 and later, i think him when he's president and all the decisions that were made to, those are pretty fair game and they are very important questions that should be answered. there is no reason to say that it's improper for the president to say i'd like you to work with the attorney general on that. it's a completely different thing, having the president bring up with a foreign head of state to look into or investigate potential corruption of his likely arrival in the 2020 election. >> martha

let's discuss with elie honig. okay.her, maybe, for investigators. here's our cnn reporting. the counterintelligence probe hinges in part on whether a foreign influence operation was trying to take advantage of giuliani's business ties in ukraine and with wealthy foreigners to make inroads with the white house according to one person briefed on the matter. if this were the case, things would start to make sense for investigators, elie. you tell me if i'm wrong. because they follow the money. >> follow the money, exactly right. if counterintelligence is separate from a criminal investigation, they can both carry on in the same time on separate tracks. the main point of a counterinvestigation is to ask who is this guy working for really. and with rudy giuliani, that is a very open and important question. i mean, we already know that he's receiving reportedly $500,000 from these two guys who were indicted the other day by the southern district of new york. what's that all about? at the same time he's representing powerful t

it's pretty remarkable, elie. constitution is pretty clear about paying yourself for stuff like this. >> yeah. it really is. when i used to do italian mafia cases, there was a thing called paying tribute. there was a thought that all the members put a couple of bucks in the boss's pocket to stay in favor. there's a long history of administration officials, people putting government money in donald trump's pocket. mike pence stayed at trump's resort. bill barr is doing his holiday party at a trump hotel. we have foreign leaders. zelensky goes out of his way to remind the president, i stayed at your place. it's the best hotel. so this is going on and on. the question is what is anyone going to do about it? congress needs to look at this seriously as an article of impeachment. >> surely they will. therein is another irony. as the president is under the biggest spotlight of his presidency with all of these -- the impeachment inquiry happening in three communities. he's not shying away from provoking investigators. i m

. >>> cnn global affairs analyst susan glasser, and elie honig. susan, let's begin with bill taylor. he's going to be behind closed doors. he is highly respected. not only does he hold the highest diplomatic post in ukraine right now, they had to drag him out of retirement and convince him, pompeo and others, to take this job. he saw the importance of it. the importance of protecting ukraine from russia. the importance of this strategic alliance. a dozen state department officials, former state department officials, tell cnn that based on his character, they expect his testimony today will be forthright and informative. how damaging could it be for this administration? >> he's a key witness. remember the reason he was there in the first place is because president trump chose to listen to his private attorney and actually unilaterally fired the previous u.s. ambassador to ukraine and ordered that she be removed immediately from her position. that's why there was an opening in the first place. he is there in an acting capacity because u.s. diplomats

if he's not going to get cheered after that, i mean, i guess eli's got a point, it's the support and the anger towards him on both sides. i mean, it's calcified. there's no wiggle room. >> that sounds about right. the white house aides are saying that the president understood that he was going to a washington, d.c. game and that washington, d.c. is a pretty liberal town and that he expected in some ways to get criticism. it probably was surprising, though, for the fact that the president announced and had this really big victory lap on killing this leader of isis. you have to think about the fact that the president wanted to badly to really contrast that moment with president obama getting osama bin laden. he wanted to not just have people talk about it, he wanted to talk about it himself. he wanted to make sure he said this person was a bigger deal than osama bin laden. i remember living in new york when bin laden was killed. there was a sense of kpub ration we had done this. last night what we saw in the baseball stadium there was people still saying, you know what, yes, you did a

isn't it, eli? >> yeah, especially if sonland verses himself before the committee when he testifies on thursday. talking to the president, conferring with him and then responding the text message, it would explain the five hour gap between messages and it also will tell you something i think about the way this is going that ambassador sonland might feel the need to just put his cards on the table and be honest with lawmakers and to not carry the president's water any further than he already has. you're seeing him, seeing fiona hill. we saw the ambassador last week. the white house has tried to prevent a lot of these people from coming forward. the president tried to intimidate other whistle blowers. it's not working. there are people coming forward. some of them are having to be subpoenaed. they are defying the white house and the state department, in their efforts to silence these individuals and they are making the calculation at this point that they need to come forward and be truthful and cooper

attorney for the southern district of new york and cnn legal analyst eli elie honig. u.s.assador to the european yunel was texts with kurt volker, and bill taylor, a american diplomat. why was the ambassador involved in any of these issues? >> the ambassador to the eu is fairly nebulous, so being in that position, you could expand your boundaries and get involved in all kinds of bilateral engage me ment. >> hi finds they folks, whether in the right jobs or not,. >> sondland is a political appointee, unlike taylor. the president brought him on specifically as the job, and was a big donor to the campaign. >> volker testified on thursday, and -- >> there's a lot of problems in his reported testimony and the texts. there's a lot of talk about quid pro quo. you do not need a crime in order to impeach, but if you have a crime, you have a lot of -- these texts are a gold mine. they lay it out as about as clear as you can ever seen. assuming the president initiates an investigation, then we'll give them the visit, then there's the cover-up asset. i've had similar experiences as a

eli, take us to all members in congress were in their home district. democrats did not pull for a vote for an inquiry. the president is basically and almost daring nancy pelosi to do that. what do you think the next move is based on your reporting. >> everybody waiting to react because the next move comes from him. that's why you see a messy response of a president running out to the camera, talking at the press conference on wednesday. he's the one responding, he's not hiding from this. he's out there publicly and you know his consciousness of guilt seems obvious than all the other people around him trying to cover up his conversation. as mimi says trying to normalize this and trying to convince the public and i am not hiding anything and trying to get the public to accept that he has the right as he stated earlier on the lawn, the right to ask other countries to investigate if he feels that there was corruption. he used the word feel. that's why a lot of it is coming from. mimi is right for democrats and prosecutors, there are enough evidence already

elishai remember, jaminded people that -- eli reminded people that our constitutional rights included the freedom of religion and freedom of assembly and freedom of speech depended on people having a voice in elections. then come i got to listen to him talk that day. you talk about a lousy deal. i had to follow both the bishop and elijah cummings. [laughter] in ahead of getting in myd president obama -- old age, i am glad to do that. anyway, he was great. with his quiet and reasoned and rhythmic voice growing into his booming voice by quoting that wonderful verse from the 40th chapter of isaiah. those that wait upon the lord will have their strength renewed. they will run with eagles -- wings as with eagles. they will run and faint not. the crowd was going crazy. over the course of these last few days i have had the chance to think a lot about elijah cummings' life. mirrorly did sort of isaiah. who had one of the greatest one-liners in the history of human affairs. when the lord asked -- home shall i send and who will go for me? and isaiah said -- here i am lord, send me. elijah cummi

i think elie will tell you that is the language you use in a quid pro quo. >> exactly.it wasn't enough for zelensky and those around him to tell trump and giuliani, yes, we will do this. we will investigate over phone conversations and meetings, privately, right? they needed this in a statement because they wanted to hold this as publicly, the ukrainians saying we will be investigating baresma and the bidens. why? as you mentioned, zelensky desperately wanted to get a meeting with donald trump in the white house. that sends such a clear message to vladimir putin. let me tell you, vladimir putin is the winner in all of this. he's the one who invaded cry mia, annexed cry mia. you need the public support and backing which any u.s. president would do in a situation like this. to show we are on his side. he didn't get that which is why he's saying privately, look. we're investigating. this wasn't enough for this administration. they needed proof. >> so bill taylor, this u.s. senior diplomat says on september 8th, the nightmare is that the ukrainians give this statement, make

we have elie honig and retired rear admiral john kirby. the democrats are basically playing this out like a legal case. so you had sondland say, they never came to me with any of these concerns, one, but now vindman is saying not only he and others did. do democrats bring back sondland and say, how do you reconcile these two? >> i think you do. i'm not sure sondland should go back in. he may have potential exposure here. if i'm his lawyer i say we might be needing to take the fifth amendment here. it's two against one. now it's taylor and vindman against sondland. look at the credibility. taylor and vindman are career nonpartisan military diplomatic officials. sondland is a hotel magnate who gave a million to the trump inauguration in order to get his position. who's got more credibility, and it's two against one? doesn't stack up well for sondland. >> admiral kirby, how significant is this testimony from vindman? we have his entire opening statement here. and this is a guy who is very uncomfortable with what he heard and complained twice

joining us to talk about this, global affair analyst susan glasser and cnn little analyst elie honig. susan, you look at what's coming out in this testimony, the headlines so far, of folks who served very closely with this president in the administration and had firsthand knowledge of the interactions with ukraine. and it just strikes me that it corroborates, does it not, whistle-blower's complaint throughout about genuine concerns about this president using influence to force ukraine to investigate biden. >> the evidence that's come forward has reinforced that and to add new details. the timeline is not just around the president's decision to withhold hundreds of millions in military aid at the same time he's pressuring but it goes back months earlier when rudy giuliani, his personal envoy is intervening in american foreign policy and launching a crusade to get the u.s. ambassador to ukraine fired because she's in his way. and what's remarkable is that the president himself personally did that. i thought that potential news and revelations coming from fiona hill's testimony, as repor

elie honig is there. federal and state prosecutor and molly ball, national political correspondent for "time." >> let me begin with you on where democrats are trying to get this information and what happens because we heard from the white house last night. not only giuliani is not going to comply but the vice president, mike pence, isn't going to comply with these document requests. you argue there are a couple of paths here. bee line to the supreme court or move on without key witnesses. and key documents. what would you do. >> i would take path two. the courts are too slow for this. there's just not enough time. we saw it with jerry nadler. he got bogged down in courts and there's motion to expedite. even if courts move as fast as they can, this is going to take months and months. time that the democrats do not have with the election right around the corner. what i would do is just say, fine. those of you who are going to have legal temper tantrums like rudy giuliani had and said i don't recognize you,

he touches you and you're -- it's brutal, right, eli? >> this is president who's always trying to press, leverage, right? that's what he does with ambassadorships, people in and out of the administration. there's an article today about how he's trying to basically make sure he goes and fund raises and that's basically at the crux of what we're talking about with his conversations with ukraine. >> and what does he call people who don't play ball with him? scum. >> well, disloyal scum or whatever, and that's always the excuse. if you're in his way you're out to get him. >> a hint in morrison's testimony, he tries to throw sondland understand the bus. you see the preview of it. >> i think this is really critical to his ability to inoculate himself a lot of people who are going to start defending him more on the merits, they're going to say things like what sondland told zelensky, which is this is just how the president operates. and they're going to say, look, this is just his behavior. and a lot of people who support him have tended to acc

this is a shift. >> eli, let's break down this poll. call for impeachment is not just growing among democrats, it is growing among president trump's bases, white evangelical christians. this is about answering the question are you better off, we have 250 plus bills sitting on mitch mcconnell's desk that he has not done anything with. does this number surprise you? >> a little. i think it is a little bit about the ukraine kal. it is impact i the same thing that mueller investigated for two years related to 2016 and russia. it is easy for the public to digest. i think the president might have something to do with the numbers moeing as well. the white house has been all over the transcript. i don't know -- i don't think that anybody really knows exactly where this whole thing is going. so democrats are also uneasy about whether or not these polling numbers are about these parts. they said you have to vote on this or we're not going to cooperate. there is a lot of republicans that don't want to be on the record because they don't know if it

it happened last night at the santa barbara home of ron ely.2-year-old valerie lundeen was found dead of stab winds. a couple son was then fatally shot during a search of the property. the 81-year-old ron ely was home at the time but was not hurt. he rose to fame in the 1960s playing tarzan and then went on to become a game show host. >>> in placer county, the man who authorities say turned himself in for killing four people made his first appearance in court today. 50 three-year-old shankar hangud that he wanted to represent himself but he changed his mind after the judge insisted he meet with the public defender. he is accused of killing three people in roseville and the fourth person in siskiyou county. his attorney said defending him will have its challenges. >>> certainly with the confession it changes our strategy significantly. >> authorities say he showed up at the mount shasta police department on monday with the dead body inside his car. police say a later found three more bodies inside his apartment in roseville. police believed the

elie honig here as well. elie, i want to start with you. we have seen this pattern before.ill his personal attorney and whether he'll be indicted, but trump had this to say. watch this. >> are you concerned that rudy giuliani could be indicted in all of this? >> well, i hope not. again, i don't know how he knows these people. >> they're his clients. >> what? >> they're his clients. >> okay. well, then they're clients. i mean he's got a lot of clients. so i just don't know. i haven't spoken to rudy about it. >> now, here's what he said about michael cohen last year. >> how much -- >> michael is somebody -- >> mr. president, how much of your legal work was handled by michael cohen? >> well, as a percentage of my overall legal work, a tiny, tiny little fraction. but michael would represent me and represent me on some things. >> is rudy getting tossed under air force one, under the bus? >> thrown under air force one. i like that. let the distancing begin. we've seen this dance before from donald trump with michael cohen, and he seems to be taking the first steps down that road

it has become even more challenging, as elie pointed out, the whistle-blower complaint is corroborated by actual evidence that the white house has released themselves. this will only guess harter to defend this isn't just a complained that he saw and handed on. here are the two parts. in short, the icig, the inspector general, did not find of complainant could provide nothing more than a secondhand or unsubstantiated assertions, which would have made it much harder, and significantly less likely, for the inspector general to determine in a 14-day calendar. it was provided as well as other information gathered, and determined the complaint was both urgent and that it appeared credible. guys, what does this tell you about what the ig did. >> it sounds michael atkinson, it sounds when you read this, they were very thorough. >> he had to have been known the seriousness -- >> keep in mind the department of justice did not do any kind of investigation. there was a review. the review was based solely on the transcript of the conversation. outside of that, the department of justice, from every

things that they want to create for articles of impeachment and simply move towards that vote. >> elie, why do you think adam schiff revealed when he spoke earlier this morning that the state department is in his view withholding a personal device with text messages of sondland's with more messages on that are relevant to the investigation. what is he doing there? >> he's trying to answer the question why do you need this? people might say you already have the text messages. >> or you have the president's words? >> right. and the answer to that is there's more out there, right? let's attention all investigators, prosecutors, detectives always assume someone is doing personal business on their personal phones. we've seen it time and time again. we've seen that as stuff you that don't want captured by subpoena. that's where the really good stuff is. i think schiff is giving us a movie trailer there. he's telling us there's something that we believe even better than the text we've seen out there. and that's the reason we're pushing so hard to get his testimony. >> forget better or worse.

back with us is bianna golodryga and elie honig. i just want nuts and bolts of what this changes, why something like this changes, and what it signifies. >> two big things in nuts and bolts. first, they would have the ability to empanel a grand jury. so now rather than relying on people to speak voluntarily, you can compel someone. you can force them. now you have to testify here's the subpoena. or you have to give them documents. it gives the ability to bring criminal charges. and to me, big picture, that's what's so worrisome. it escalates this from a politically driven waste of resources to something much more sinister. now you are weaponizing the department of justice and talking about potentially imprisoning law enforcement. >> what's the actual bar, the legal bar to make it a criminal investigation? >> you need what's called predication. which means you need a good faith piece of evidence or fact there could be a crime committed here. and i have a question. what is the predication here as a potential crime that was committed?

joining us now political correspondent abby phillip and elie honig.wer who has come forward. what more can this person add to the picture? given that we have a transcript albeit a rough transcript of the phone call where president trump leans on the ukrainian leader? we have text messages where there are diplomats talking about quid pro quos. so what does this second whistle-blower add? >> i agree with you. we already have quite a bit to go on. generally speaking it's worse for donald trump. it's more leads to follow up on. whistle-blowers point investigators. look here, look there. the first whistle-blower led to this devastating evidence. who knows where the second whistle-blower goes. we know this person has first-hand evidence. he or she may have even more leads for investigators to follow up on. and i think trump and his people are really feeling the heat. because they're launching this attack. they're going after the whistle-blower. and i've seen this happen. when the evidence starts to get really strong as a prosecutor, that's when the personal

, without whom president clinton had the vision, and bill was there in the white house, that it was eli who understood politics and new how to get things done. you think about how washington is today, that americorps legislation got passed within nine-months, a big bipartisan vote. thanks to eli, and harris, senator kennedy and etc., 1.1 millions people -- 1.1 million people have served in america. -- in americorps. we know this works. it is not rocket science. as you will hear from these young people we have to take it to scale. from my own experience i can tell you, national service changes your life. wife at aonderful conference for certain -- for service leaders and social entrepreneurs. if you are looking for love, join the service you -- service movement. it works. essence, what the service movement is about as abrupt spreading love in the world. i love what peter said, it was like a benediction. he said that national service touches people's souls. if we could get to one million people a year, it will touch and change america's soul. and we need that. there is nothing more powerf

former prosecutor and cnn legal analyst elie honig is with us. first of all, set it up here. as we learned from shimon, when you move to this criminal investigation, you have the subpoenas, now you're compelling people to talk, so they have to give you information. what would you need, though, in the doj to move into the criminal phase? what do you have to show? >> yeah, so, this is a major escalation, as shimon said. and what you need in order to open a criminal investigation is pred occasi predica tink on, some form of criminality, a basis or fact to say we believe if we follow this investigation, we could end up finding that there was a crime. and my big question here is, well, what is the predication? what crime are they looking at and how strong is it? >> is that laid out somewhere? is there like a form that says here are the reasons why? and is that something people can attain? >> no, there is no standard form where you can say, and the predication is thus. that said, the federal prosecutor and i'm sure a lot of people were in this decision, have to sit down in good fai

attorney elie honig is "outfront" with us. he sat in on both hearings today.r case did a judge rule, but that doesn't mean what happened today was significant in terms of what could happen with witnesses testifying. i want to start with the former white house counsel don mcgahn's case. he was subpoenaed by house democrats in april. he ignored demands to appear. what did the judge in this case signal? >> it was so interesting to see fist of all, pam. it was like battle of the branches in action. on the right-hand side, you had a team of lawyers for the house, for the congress. and on the left-hand side, you had a team of lawyers for doj, the executive branch, all happening within the judicial branch. the judge asked a lot of pointed questions about the white house doj's theory of absolute immunity. essentially her line of questioning was how can you maintain this position that no executive branch official ever has to answer if the president says no? and candidly doj lawyers had a hard time answering that. and the judge seemed pretty skeptical of their position.
