also adam schiff the chairman of the house intelligence committee who was basically leading the impeachment inquiry said that this was a pivotal moment in the history of the impeachment inquiry and now the biggest challenge remaining for the democrats is to bring this message to the american voters to the public because ass off now all the supporters and opponents of the impeachment inquiry still staying very much behind party lines behind party lines despite that the republicans certainly can't be happy with what be heard today has there been reaction from the republicans. although republicans certainly are not and what they're trying to do is basically their strategy is to raise doubt about the credibility of these witnesses they've done that in all the recent hearings and they've done it today again when they asked him better song and whether or not he spoke directly with the president whether the. president directed him personally to push for investigation and of course he had to say no because he only spoke to the president's lawyer so that is basically their line of defense the democrats are trying to make clear that bester sunland has been a

history to face impeachment. two witnesses testified before the house intelligence committee -- george kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, and william taylor, a former ambassador and the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine. they both said president trump withheld aid to ukraine in an attempt to pressure the country to investigate joe biden and his son hunter, who served on the board of a ukrainian natural gas company. house intelligence chairir adam schiff opened the historic hearing. >> although we have learned a great deal about these events in the last several weeks, there are still missing pieces. the president has instructed the state department and other agencies to ignore congressional subpoenas for documents. he has insnstructed d witnesseso defy subpoenas and refuse to appear. and he has suggested that those who do expose wrongdoing should be treated like traitors and spies. these actions will force congress to consider, as it did with president nixon, whether trump's obstruction of congress constituted additional grounds for impeachment. if the president can similar reviews all oversight, particularly in the

history that impeachment proceedings have got to this stage before us ambassador to ukraine marie you benefit publicly testifying against the president to the house intelligence committee so you have out of it says trump his lawyer and his allies derided and smeared her while she was still ambassador undermining american diplomacy presidents appoint and remove him bassett is but usually done publicly criticize them as donald trump has and in real time during impeachment proceedings as we see it or testifying the president is attacking you would twitter what effect do you think that has on other witnesses willingness to come forward. and expose wrongdoing. it's very intimidating i want to let you know about sure that some of us here take witness intimidation very very seriously later trump hit back. so you know what i what i have the right to speak i have freedom of speech just as other people do regarding the central accusation of the impeachment inquiry you benefits wasn't in post when trump withheld aid to ukraine allegedly to get ukraine's president to investigate joe biden tribes political rival whose son was paid significant amounts on the board of ukrainian gas c

adam schiff, the chairman of the house intelligence committee, who is basically leading the impeachment inquiry, said this was a pivotal moment in the history of the impeachment inquiry, and the biggest challenge remaining for democrats is to bring this message to the american voters, to the public, because as of now, supporters and opponents of the impeachment inquiry are still staying very much behind party lines. brent: despite that, republicans certainly cannot be happy with what they heard today. has there been reaction from republicans? >> basically, their strategy is to raise doubt about the credibility of these weapons as they have done at recent hearings, and they have done it today again when they asked ambassador sondland if the president directed him personally to push for an investigation. of course, he had to say no because he only spoke to the president's lawyer, so that is basically their line of defense. democrats are trying to make clear that ambassador sondland has been a lifelong republican who served under george w. bush, so they believe he has a high level of credibility, and they are certainly trying to capitalize on

usaa >>> tonight, house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff rapping up this history making daysin my view, there is nothing more dangerous that an unethical president who believes they are above the law, and i would just say to people watching here at home and around the world in the words of my great colleague, we are better than that. adjourned. >> schiff invoking the late democratic congressman elijah cummings and everyone is back with me. so laura, what was the biggest revelation in the past three days? >> the biggest revelation was there was the quid pro quo. it is an interesting revelation. we knew that this was the expected fact pattern and to hear it through the televised hearing was the most important aspect of it because remember, you have to get the public support behind the discussions about the impeachment and what was extraordinarily riveting is it came from someone who still works in the administration, and gordon sondland and the ambassador to the european union who is at center of this controversy and here he is saying, hold on, for anyone who does not believe t

invitation to the white house gordon sunland confirmed all of that and the chair of the intelligence committee adam schiff today said that this was a pivotal moment in the history of the investigation. and all of what has been the response to today's proceedings both among republicans and perhaps more importantly the american public. right well the line of the defense in the hearing of the republicans has been the same during the last days and i was able to follow several of these hearings and that is basically to undermine the credibility of the witnesses and that has happened today once again when they asked gordon sunland whether or not president tom personally instructed him to raise pressure on ukraine and of course he had to say that was not the case because he only spoke to president trump's private lawyer rudy giuliani which in and of itself is another problem but of course not part of this inquiry a large extent at this point no president trump also took a stance today when he also tried to downsize the role of gordon sound and he said he doesn't even know him well but of course it has to be said that he was the one to choose him for his role as you em

house intelligence committee. john dean, let's talk about the history of what we're about to see.th time in american history that a sitting president is going to have to face the possibility of being impeached. >> that's exactly right. and i was thinking about the witnesses who are going to appear. i'm sure taylor and kent are very comfortable. they're not rattled in any way. they want to be there. the reason they got subpoenas is they don't want to be whistle-blowers. they want to be compelled to give this testimony so that a reason they're there. they're quite comfortable. the people that are anxious are the republicans and the counsel who are preparing to question and who need to bring out a story and tell a story. and that is unpredictable. they don't really know how that will unfold. so while we're repeating history, every time it happens, wolf, it's different. and we are going to see lots of surprises today. >> you're seeing joaquin castro from texas. he's in the middle of the screen over there. when you take a look at these faced this possibility, david gregory, andrew john

campaign and adam schiff the chairman of the house intelligence committee who is leading the impeachment inquiry said that this was a very important moment in the history of the impeachment inquiry carol of what about the ranking republicans what have they been saying the white house certainly has a very clear line on this. well right and the republican strategy so far has been simply to undermine the investigation itself and in particular our credibility all the witnesses and i was able to follow several of these hearings in the recent days and that has always been the currying strategy and i was so yesterday again when gordon was asked whether or not you spoke directly with president trump about this issue whether president personally directed him to put pressure on the ukrainian government of course and had to deny he was only told by other people including by president tom's private lawyer rudy giuliani tromped and later joined in that line of defense he said he doesn't even know gordon sunland well although we have to point out here that trump was the one to make. you ambassador after having been a mega donor in the 2016 election campaign so that'

. >> history will be made in this room tomorrow as the house launches the first public impeachment hearings examining president trump's dealings with ukraine. house intelligence committee chairman, adam schiff, released this letter saying the process will be fair to the president, the committee members, and the witnesses. above all, these hearings are intended to bring the facts to life for the american people. cbs news has obtained an 18 page memo outlining republican strategy for depending president trump. they will argue president trump did not lay out any commissions when he asked ukraine's president to logical political investigations. both presidents have said there was no pressure to conduct the investigations. ukraine was not even aware that u.s. military aid was being withheld at the time of the phone call. and, u.s. military aid was released anyway even without ukraine conducting the investigations. >> the republicans have never been so united. i think the people of our country have never been so united. make a new cbs news poll shows americans are divided about their views on impeachment. 43% surveyed say trip president trump should be impeached over the ukr

the chairman of the house intelligence committee said this was a significant moment in the history ofmajor donor to the campaign in 2016 and was rewarded with a top diplomatic post, it has been very damaging for the trump administration. if you take a look at some of what he said, he said that they were following the president's orders and bringing his personal attorney rudy giuliani into negotiations with ukraine. the phrase being used time again a p pa re ntly phrase being used time again apparently by the president was talk with rudy. and he said yes. you just heard it, there was a quid pro quo. what that means it is basically the us was demanding ukraine launched investigations into his political rivaljoe biden and his son hunter biden, in response and then return for potentially a visit to the white house by ukraine's president, how to counter this threat that the us would withhold military aid to the country. that was hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid that was vital to the country. gordon said that as far as he was concerned, gordon said that as far as he was conce

history. it's important for us to get it right. >> you're on the senate intelligence committee. the housentelligence committee is having the public hearings. but i'm sure you'll be paying attention. what is it that you are going to be listening for and that you would tell viewers that they ought to really be listening for to determine that the president is in fact guilty of abuse of power and it is an impeachable act? >> i think first of all, we're going to listen to see whether the evidence reinforces what the whistle-blower allowed. so far, every single person who testified has reinforced what the whistle-blower said. and by the way, these are not just anti-trumpers, these are republicans working in the trump administration who are saying that the phone call was political, the phone call was unseemly. the other question is, is it an impeachable offense. and i believe that this is exactly the kind of thing that the founders had in mind when they wrote impeachment into the constitution. it's not about figuring out whether the president committed a crime or not, although he may have. it's

civilization, progress have been killed in the house intelligence committee by the democrat spring no president, and fact nobody facing impeachment has ever in american history been treated this way. let's hook the impeachment cause, he of individuals quoting gerald ford this i says anythin. the president should be removed from office in treason, bribery or other high crimes or misdemeanors. keep it there. does essay gerald ford said, no. does it say simply and political process, no. and they can cite that all they want, hamilton does not say that either. the motivation may be political, the motivation may be mob like. the constitution does not give the house of representatives illimitable power, it does not give any branch of government a liminal power. that's what gives it. treason, bribery or other crimes and misdemeanors. now has the president committed, all the bureaucrats, all the civil servants, all the never trumper's, all the democrats, although journalist in the bony legal analyst, has the president committed treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. let me take something else with all the former federal prosecutors and judges, when t
