i want the whistleblower, hunter biden, joe biden. judge jeanine: 15 seconds.isa is coming out december 9. the "new york times" seems to be downplaying it. do you have any information whether it's just one low-level guy who changed something little but didn't change the results of the fisa warrants? >> i don't know. but we are investigating the investigators. that's clear. it would not be shocking to anyone to know the media and the democrats are down playing the nefarious behavior and the potential collusion and corruption on their side. they don't want any part of this conversation. judge jeanine: the tide turns against the democrats. will they get the message that impeaching a president will only make him more popular. new details on the origins of the russia investigation. fox news contributor, dan jean report ridiculous russia hoax tried and failed to take down trump. now we are dealing with the ukraine witch hunt. i want to ask dan bongino, author of "exonerated." let's talk about the fact that now it looks like they are done at least in terms of witnesse

zero experience, hunter biden, millions of dollars. and then one month later, yep, there he is, joe biden, vice president of the united states in a shakedown quid pro quo joe. fire that prosecutor in six hours, i will give you a billion dollars. you don't fire him, i won't give you a billion dollars. why on earth would a vice president of the united states of america care about a prosecutor in ukraine? the answer is obvious. his son was being investigated. even the "new york times" warned biden his son was being investigated by that prosecutor. by the way, democrats, we found your quid pro quo. quid pro quo joe. a shakedown with taxpayer dollars. and by the way, in spite of what joe biden just said, a serious potential violation of multiple laws, our own gregg jarrett laid it all out. look at your screen, 15 usc 78, it is illegal for a u.s. person to coerce or influence through bribery, a billion dollars, or extortion, a foreign nation into taking action -- oh, yeah, they took action, fire the prosecutor. that might financially benefit

hunter biden and his business partner. is it safe to say they will never come before the house intelligence committee? >> we are not going to go back in time and revisit conspiracy theories implicated in the president's call. it was the former secretary of homeland security who told jake tapper that he was telling the president that watch of -- much of what the president alleged in that phone call about the ukrainians involvement in 2016 was just nonsense. 2016.'t want to revisit if people have relevant information we want to hear from them. no to the bidens. >> i don't see evidence that anything improper has happened and people have said these witnesses conducted themselves with integrity. >> tim morrison was on the republican list. kurt volker. is it safe to say they will be before your committee? >> we are going to handle that this week and we are going to be fair about it. processness behind the is just as important as the facts. >> i think that speaker pelosi and adam schiff's decision to prevent the witnesses is just

we are more evident of ukraine gas company leveraging hunter biden for political access and more liesbiden as he tries to cover up the story. >> i did not know he was working with the company. >> that is not true. exhibit a, the timeline on april the 16th 2014 vice president matt with hunter biden's business partner at the white house. two days later hunter biden during the gas company and three days after that they went to ukraine and pushed the gas production. they saw with billions of dollars going to ukraine for the gas industry. those two board members, his son hunter and joe biden claimed he did not know hunter was on the board, give me a break. exhibit c, may 2014 the reporter asked to save the reporter spokesperson of the ukrainian gas copy. and they reply, no, he is a private citizen but in 2015 they did raise concerns about hunter biden's admission and they want us to believe even though the state department and d, hunter biden own account in a recent interview he did discuss the whistleblower with his dad who told him i hope you know what you are doing. if there was no corr

maria: you've said on the program not too long ago that hunter biden needs to answer questions, whatyour reaction to this list that your colleagues in the house have prepared as far as those they would like to hear from? >> they could care less about getting to the truth, what really did happen, why was the prosecutor fired, the john solomon foyer request is stunning, you can see efforts in the state department where they were worried about the conflict of interest between hunter biden and the company being investigated and when the president of the president, barmisa, i think is the company, when house was raided the bidens kicked in. we will look at that i consider any impeachment in the house that doesn't allow us to whistleblower to know who it is to be invalid. without whistleblower complaint we wouldn't be talking about any of this and hunter biden to be called to adequately defend the president and if you don't do the two things it's a complete joke. maria: you mentioned the john solomon reporting, testimony bombshell, obama administration tried to partner with hunter biden's

hunter biden and that company, paying millions with no background or experience after biden leveraged a billion of our tax dollars -- he's done. did hunter have experience with oil and gas? no. experience with energy? none. did he have experience in ukraine? none. but it was his father who was the second most powerful elected official in the united states of america, the vice president of the united states and in charge of american policy in ukraine. that's called -- pick your choice, influence peddling, buying favor. what other possible reason could there be a vice president demanding a ukrainian prosecutor be fired or you don't get the billion. plain and simple. even hunter biden could not deny this obvious fact. this has to be the dumbest interview i've ever seen a 49-year-old give in my life. watch this. >> you didn't have any extensive knowledge about natural gas or ukraine itself? >> no, but i think i had as much knowledge of anybody else that was on the board. if not more. >> in the list you gave me of the reasons why you're on that board, you did not list the fact that you wer

i want devon archer to testify, i hunt hunter biden to testify. f there was influence to get hunter bind and the people in this business with him the special deals he got. he had no background in ukraine and no background in energy and they are paying him $50,000 a month? come on, something stings there. steve: i agree, but what are the chances of getting that investigation. who are you suggesting should run that investigation? >> it should be the united states congress. it should be the relevant committees of the united states congress. foreign affairs, judiciary. any committee with jurisdiction over these matters. we spent all this time, hundreds of man hours looking for things that haven't been there with regard to president trump. i want us to go in and apply the same effort to what happened here. if it's all on the up and up, everything is fine, fine. let's understand that. i have a suspicion the reason they don't want to do it, the reason they are so dismissive of it is they know there is something here. let's get to the bottom of it. if the

devon archer, former ward member of the burisma holdings, that company that paid hunter biden in excess$80,000, we've learned. and has risen he certainly didn't support his position. under biden, former board member of burisma holdin holdings. i almost two saying, "it's whataboutism." >> it is. >> harris: this goes to the type of corruption that republicans have talked about. so it's supportive in the sense for their argument that the president had every right to want to look at corruption. >> it's not necessarily. if they want to have a hearing into hunter biden, they should have a separate hearing. republicans are welcome when they went back the house at some point. hearings to investigate hunter biden and what he did. but that's not the subject of this inquiry. what the president actually did, whether or not hunter biden was there or what he did and what timeline, this is totally out of scope. there's really nothing that republicans could do to suggest that asking a foreign power to intervene in an election constituted a legitimate use of taxpayer funds in the office. >> harris: this

at least 14 witnesses have been asked to be called including the first whistleblower and hunter bidenson of former vice president joe biden. president trump tweeted that joe biden should testify, but yesterday he ignored shouted questions about whether or not the younger biden should. today white house press secretary stephanie grisham thinks the president would like to see it too. listen here. >> the american people should be concerned that when there was a politician, biden, vice president biden at the time in office, his son was potentially profiting off of that. so he, i'm sure, would enjoy seeing him up there. i'm agreeing that that should definitely happen. >> reporter: the white house has advised a number of current and former staffers to not testify, big names like mick mulvaney defied subpoenas to testify behind closed doors. president trump defended that friday. >> i don't want to give credibility to the witch hunt. i like people to go up except one thing, it validates a corrupt investigation. adam schiff, he's a corrupt politician. he's as corrupt as you'll ever see. >> rep

that's what they say. >> hannity: what do you make of the hunter biden, joe biden, when you look at hunter joe, zero experience, you don't get a billion unless you fire the guy investigating my son. if that was donald trump i think we all know we'd have very different coverage in this country. >> i think joe biden stepped in it deeper today saying there's nothing to investigate with hunter biden and after what was said about the corruption in ukraine and burisma, he said there's nothing to investigate in burisma despite the burisma founder was one of the most corrupt individuals in the ukraine. the conflict of interest continues to the very day the way joe biden talks about it. >> hannity: david axelrod is supporting deffal patrick and his entry and the remarks of obama saying you don't want to go too far hard left here. it seems like team obama, i'm reading the tea leaves, has given up on elizabeth warren and mr. sanders and mayor pete and i think they'll do one last push to get deval patrick to capture the infrastructure of team obama to help him? what do you say? >> i don't think his ca

remember him, hunter biden? he is the lack luster politician son who not only got into yale law school, you are not a genius, no you didn't. not only that, but made close to a million dollars working in the ukrainian energy business despite knowing nothing about ukraine or energy. even by the standards of international corruption, it turns out he struck a remarkably corrupt deal. how corrupt? and analysis by watchdog research found that hunter biden's pay on the board of burisma energy amounted to 12 times what is typical for a company of that size. and yet, some are still claiming that hunter biden was hired by burisma to assist with "transparency and corporate reform." amazing. hilarious, actually, but also depressing because in the end this isn't really about hunter biden. it's not actually even really about the impeachment of the president. what you are seeing here, the story that is unfolding as a story about america's ruling class, some of which has been bought out by foreign entities. not surprisingly, in

answers. >> sean: you have a list of people, including adam schiff, the whistle-blower, nellie ohr, hunter biden, joe biden, will any of your witnesses be allowed to testify? >> as of right now, we have none of our witnesses. look, we even put on -- the new folder. this guy was the democrats first witness but he came in, it didn't go very well for them, he came involuntarily, the transcript or how, why on earth would volker not be there question monkey was the special envoy to ukraine. we are having the top people at the state department and the handle ukraine and now the acting ambassador that is coming in on wednesday, why would you not have volker on the stained panel? why would you not give the republicans a witness? as of right now till we have no witnesses and we have no knowledge of the foundation of this case and of these accusations. >> sean: fundamentally, like everything else, you outlined this in both of your books, gregg jarrett, everything boomerangs back. the only russian interference we know of was the dossier. it's a little ironic. now ukraine election interference, that's the d

hunter biden.roles and the second ukraine had been known for some time, the former vice president campaign said they always acted to carry out policy without any activity that he had never discussed the matter with hunter biden and learned of his son's role with ukrainian energy company from the news reports. state department official flag hunter biden in this book when when they were preparing for her testimony to be confirmed as an ambassador in the q&a state department put together the appearance and reality of conflict of interest. george camp a career official of the state department, fox news tollhouse investigators that he raised concerns about hunter biden service on the board of ukrainian natural gas company, burisma and he said 2015 he became aware that hunter biden was on the board of ukrainian burisma while his father joe biden was on the ukrainian government. the vice president grieving over the passing of his older son. so nobody brings up the vice president, nonetheless the vice pres

bidens." but don't expect to see hunter or joe biden testified. the cowardly, corrupt, compromised, congenital liar schiff, he won't allow it. this is not a real investigation. this is a political circus. there is no due process. this is a show trial. they have preselected, preinterviewed, if you will, the people that they want to trot out first, that they think will most make their case. we know he has interviewed his favorite witnesses behind closed doors and will now only allow his favorites to testify, cherry pick the witnesses. in fact, this compromised congenital liar won't even allow the nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower to take the stand when he first said that he would take the stand. maybe that's because he is a deep state, trump-hating operative who has been coordinating with schiff's office from the very beginning. oh, the congenital liar lied about that, too, doesn't even have first-hand information. it's a hearsay whistle-blower. gregg jarrett, u.s. attorney andy mccarthy, they have detailed with pinpoint precision why this person is

i'm just wondering how hunter biden got this she cushy job. etting this cushy job, jo, looks like joe biden has got dirt, too. it's sad to see that everybody in america has so much hate for each other. it's just really, really sad, and i don't know what else to say. but everybody is so decisive, it's pathetic. >> host: scott wong, we talked already hunter biden was on that republican witness list request. >> guest: the reason was because hunter biden during the obama presidency join the board of burisma which was ukrainian oil company at the time that joe biden, vice president at the time, had in his portfolio of work comp of ukraine which was obviously has been in a conflict with russia. that's significant because the appearance of it, and hunter biden has acknowledged this himself, the appearance of it was not good. hunter biden gave an interview in which he said if my name was not biden i probably would not a of gotten that job. there have been -- >> host: was at a recent interview? >> guest: after all this came out. clearly the bidens recog

how is it even possible for the mob to defend joe and hunter biden? #quidproquojoe . there is a damning evidence that paints a vivid picture of i would think that would be corruption trying to buy favor, some light colored influence peddling, i call it quid pro quo joe. joining us now with more, fox news contributor john solomon, you have breaking news tonight. is the guy in the interview we just played, he is the equivalent of the ag, he is the of william barr. >> he's a guy that was put in place because joe biden fired his predecessor and remember, joe biden vouched in that same tape where he talked about firing the other guy, he said i put a solid guy in place of him. now they've turned on lucenko because they don't like the story on hunter biden. >> sean: as you were interviewing him, you weren't supposed to report that, understood. let's go to what you develop tonight. >> george kent that state department official testified in the summer of 16, he learned the u.s. state department's foreign aid bureau usaid had created a partnership with burisma and hunter biden,

according to the washington post, the list includes hunter biden, hunter biden's business partner devon archer, the original whistle-blower, researcher from fusion gps which commissioned a dossier. and a ukrainian american who worked with the democratic national committee. garrett haake joins me now from capitol hill. also, joined by our attorney pamela. she's former veteran prosecutor and served as counsel to the house judiciary committee during proceedings against chief judge walter nixon of mississippi. pier garret garrett, let's start with you and that list. i don't know. give me the right question to ask because the question in my head is, why are all those people on the list? >> those are folks on that graphic who represent all the other topics that republicans would like to have be part of the conversation on impeachment. hunter biden and one of his business partners from burisma gets us into the issue of what donald trump was trying to get investigated in ukraine in the first place. the anonymous whistle-blower is a perfect avatar of our times. the kind of figure and anonymous q

hunter biden, the whistleblower who led to this whole situation.hief among the witnesses they want to hear from. we have the story covered from all angles. former assistant watergate assistant will join us. a political panel standing by. first over to lucas from washington with a list of the republicans. >> good morning, and congratulations on your new show. hunter biden, the republicans are calling a wish list of witnesses they want to see testify in the open when the public hearings are on capitol hill. in a scathing letter to house intelligence committee chairman, adam sniff, devin nunes wrote, americans see through this, to provide transparency to an otherwise opaque and unfair process, among the potential witnesses in addition to hunter biden, devon archer, from the ukrainian energy holding company critics say hunter biden didn't know anything about it when he received the lucrative seat on the board when his father was vice-president. and from opposition research firm was on there, too. adam schiff alone gets to decide to can come to the hear

we've also reached out to a representative from hunter biden but have yet to hear back just yet. but joe biden has really been very vocal throughout this entire process, insistent that neither he nor his son were involved in any wrongdoing when it came to ukraine, despite president trump's insistence that they did. and while this witness list is being developed by house republicans, yesterday joe biden was asked whether he would testify if there was -- were senate hearings into this and he really turned this back around on president trump, saying the focus needs to be on him. take a listen to what he had to say. >> look, number one, this is about donald trump, not about me. there's not a single, solitary thing that anybody has demonstrated that i didn't do my job as representative of the united states of america. the question is, did the president of the united states violate the constitution, violate the constitution, and did he profit from his office. >> reporter: so, joe biden there hammering away at what he believes is president trump's wrongdoing. in just a short while he's g

hunter biden is a key witness in that. in trump's, strategy. that's why the democrats are trying to do. >> harris: let me ask you along those lines, it does seem like now hear more and more and more, if you wanted a pay day you went to ukraine. does it seem like hunter biden would be a necessary witness the way joey explains a? >> jessica: it is certainly a better argument that you'd want to hear, whistle-blower's complaint has been corroborated by everyone 20 ways from sunday. his life and his livelihood is very much at risk if his name gets released. the issue here is that corruption was going on in ukraine and it doesn't appear the biden's were actually profiting off of that and everyone says they went through the protocol and joe biden was executing u.s. foreign policy. >> melissa: you don't think they were profiting? >> jessica: i don't think they were doing anything besides getting a head because of nepotism which hunter biden talked about in his interview three or four weeks ago. the issue here is whether the president of the united stat

enadd it hunter biden. you know whether hunter bied everyone offers anything other than the his dad is the former vice president. >> also does hunter biden like flowers or do i think i could send mim a card, are you friends with hunter biden? what the hell was this? like here is the thing. if republicans want to investigate hunter biden then investigate hunter biden but that is not what this hearing is about. you are just making it about something else. handle if the cops showed up to your office to investigate a robbery and while they are dusting for prints you pop up, hey, i know you guys are busy but could you also figure out who has been stealing my yogurt every day thrarks is not the reason you are here, plaib it should be, okay. that was ukrainian yogurt. but the republicans weren't just trying to figure out hunter biden height, weight and favorite color, whether it was congressman jim jordan turn to ask questions his big argument was that none of this testimony should count because it was all a game o

documents and testimony from the hunter biden whistleblower.nd from democratic national committee. we will hear from francine next. plainfield new jersey, fr republican line. >> am an attorney and i have to tell you that i find this whole thing disgusting. first of all, we have never in our history seen something where a person running for office come before they even get into office is being attacked the way this poor man has been attacked. this man has not been able to do any of the things that we have elected them for. what he is being impeached for right now is exactly what we the people wanted him to do we wanted him to act like a president unlike a couple presidents who were nothing but do-nothing people. from all these ambassadors and state e department people sitti up there testifying there a bunch of do-nothing people. everybody knew there was corruption and ukraine and nobody has the guts to do anything about it. he should call back every ambassador because under the law it is his right. he has a way to fire every single ambassador an

hunter biden boston home was raided, his property just before joe biden intervened, if they had wrong talking points they were trying to cover something up. >> sean: all rights, going to the second part of this, let's get with lindsey graham but we got that to preview from michael horowitz yesterday that nobody in the media has reported on but it is they are. give the headline. >> very important story, inspector general horowitz concluded that the fbi had a systemic problem with managing confidential sources just like chris. they were not fighting them properly, not checking for reliability and credibility, ann some cases, the people charged with giving the findings were being pressured to. don't put derogatory information into the informant's boxes of the trial. we were doctoring the files and withholding potentially derogatory information about the informants. this answers how christopher steele could become an informant and use to get out warrants when we knew he was paid by hillary clinton, had a bias against donald trump, was leaking to the news media. the fbi is going to be havi

, hunter biden is on the board.ple of days after that his business partner meets with john kerry and not too long after that, he fires the prosecutor he knows. that's it in a nutshell. >> laura: dan, biden said he did know anything about this. this is a big conspiracy theory and they have all these friends in the media who are out there trashing solomon's reporting and he reminded me, hundred front page stories for "the washington post" when he worked for "the washington post." they left him then, but now he's looking into something else. what are your thoughts? >> it's fascinating. they can call it a conspiracy theory all they want. it's certainly a conspiracy, but it's not a theory. i follow his work at admire it and i've been following it for a long time. he has government documents from ukraine! legal teams for burisma, their own document indicated that everything democrats are telling you and by democrats i mean the media, it's not true! think about it, one of the myths he debunked last week was that burisma ca

with a witness wish list including hunter biden. next, a look at what's true and what's false when it comes to the biden family and ukraine. (dad) aaaah! (mom) nooooo... (son) nooooo... (avo) quick, the quicker picker upper! bounty picks up messes quicker and is 2x more absorbent. bounty, the quicker picker upper. (mom vo) it's easy to shrink into your own little world. especially these days. (dad) i think it's here. (mom vo) especially at this age. (big sis) where are we going? (mom vo) it's a big, beautiful world out there. (little sis) whoa... (big sis) wow. see that? (mom vo) sometimes you just need a little help seeing it. (vo) the three-row subaru ascent. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. . >>> okay. think about the last three weeks for the president and sporting events. he went to the world series in d.c. got booed and of course triggered chants of "lock him up." last week -- that was a reception at the ufc fight in manhattan. supposed to be a little more receptive crowd but certainly would say it was a hearty mix of b

president trump's actions president -- pressuring ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden and his son hunter. even thehe witnesses requested y republican lawmakers criticized the president's actitions. >> in n hindsight, i now understand that t others sawaw e ideas of investigating burisma as equivalent to investigating former president -- former vice president biden. i should have seen that connection differently. had i done so, i would have raraised my own objections. amy: we will get the latest on the impeachment hearings. then to iran where security foforces have kikilled over r 10 protesters. and we marark trans remembrance day, a day that honors the thousands of transgender and gender nonconforming people who have been killed around the world. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. army lt. col. alex vindman testified in a televised house impeachment hearing over whether president trump withheld military aid from ukraine to pressure the ukrainian president to investigate trump political rival joe biden and h

later hunter biden's people are at the office.e days after that hunter biden's business partner meets with kerry and not long after that joe biden fires the ukraine prosecutor that he knows was investigating his son's company. >> laura: dan, they say this is all a conspiracy theory and these friends in the media who are trashing solomon's reporting and he's reminded me he has 100 front page stories for "the washington post" when he worked for "the washington post." they loved him then. now he's looking into something else and suddenly you can't trust this. what are your thoughts? >> it's fascinating. they can call did a conspiracy theory all they want. it's certainly a conspiracy but it's not a theory. i follow john's work and admire it and i have been following it for a long time. john has government documents from ukraine. legal teams for burisma, their own documents indicating that everything the democrats are telling you -- and by democrats, you mean the media, too, about this case is not true. one of the myths he debunked las

that's what the fired prosecutor said, he was closing in on burisma and hunter biden. that's why he was fired by bid biden. >> sean: when you use hunter's name -- can you please come obama state department stop looking into us, we even have hunter biden on our board. oh,oa now it makes sense, this s been so hard and so difficult and so complicated. gregg jarrett, great work. now let's turn to some more breaking developments, newly released transcripts from the top-secret schiff soviet-style impeachment coup attempt. bad news for democrats. career state department official -- george, you will me an apology, we are going to be talking about this soon. testified he had no knowledge that usa aid to ukraine was ever connected to an investigation request and he said the government of ukraine had no idea there was a temporary hold on aid until a month after thehe president's phone call. they got the money without doing anything. that's not all. can also raise concerns about the biden and burisma holdings, even mentioned yours truly, i will accept the guy's apology. he also tes

it includes hunter biden.know, we have just gotten word from chairman schiff, he's put out a statement on this minority witness request, saying "the committee is evaluating the minority's witness requests and will give due consideration to witnesses within the scope of the impeachment inquiry as voted on by the house." he goes on to say, "as we move into the open hearing phase of the inquiry, the committee is mindful that we are engaged in a sober endeavor rooted in the constitution to determine whether the president of the united states engaged in misconduct that warrants impeachment by the house." he finally says, "this inquiry is not and will not serve, however, as a vehicle to undertake the same sham investigations into the bidens or 2016 that the president pressed ukraine to conduct for his personal political benefit or to facilitate the president's effort to threaten, intimidate and retaliate against the whistle-blower who courageously raised the initial alarm." give me your thoughts on what was just put

the biden campaign needs to get out of this. >> alex: they should be more transparent about what huntermarie: they are not responding quickly to things. on this issue, where i don't believe vice president biden did anything wrong, they have been slow to respond. i think because they don't want to get down into the mud with president trump. but where they are. we are all in the mud to get. >> harris: you know what else we are? where it with chad pergram on capitol hill, who has a transcript. i was just boasting about how great you are at speed reading all of this. give us a couple of headlines, and how long is this one? >> four to 46 pages. it's bigger. >> harris: is that as heavily-redacted is the last one we saw? >> there are some reductions at the top. i get about 20 pages in and there's a couple individual lines that have been redacted. we haven't seen much of that before. this is the first thing that jumps out at me. the first ten or 11 pages, it deals with matt gaetz, republican congressman from florida, trying to sit in and ask questions during the session with fiona hill. there i

cnn was talking about joe biden and hunter biden on may 12th own john king reported on his show that hunter biden worked for national gas company in ukraine that is totally fair game to ask whether he made money so -- >> because you brought that up i want to tell you that -- a couple of things. current and former ukrainian prosecutors general have publicly said that ukraine does not have any information about any wrongdoing by hunter biden. that is number one. number two, the u.s. government, the e.u., the imf, all wanted this prosecutor that you're talking about fired because he was not -- >> we had these conversations six weeks ago when nancy pelosi jumped the gun before she read the transcript of the call believed there were eight quid pro quo requests in the transcript they are not there. and believe that president said he was holding up aid. not there. believe the president said he wanted a 2020 rival investigated, not there. joe biden is not insolated from his past actions gist because he's running for president. if anything the scrutiny should be -- >> what i hear you saying a

moreover, we want hunter biden. we want hunter biden. you folks at "the new york times" and other places, you have told us about hunter biden. you have taught us about the bidens. don't we have a right as the american people to know that he is a crook? is that the only family in american history who was about to be investigated? i don't think so. and one other thing, this is the so-called whistle-blower's complaint. this has been schiff's playbook from number one. adam, were you involved in writing this? adam needs to be a witness to. we want to know all about adam. we know he's a liar. we need to put him under oath under penalty and perjury. you can see that this was adam schiff's playbook from day one, page after page after page. you know what this was? this was a shadowy exercise by schiff, his staff, the whistle-blower, and the democrats to bring down the president. >> sean: his new show, 8:00 p.m. sunday night. joining us now, fox sports correspondent. dan bongino. i don't know how you guys top that, but he's right. all of that is t

debunked, allegations that hunter biden and others were involved in corrupt acts. and this is the critical link between what giuliani provided the state department, provided to pompeo that formed the basis of the investigations supposedly requested by trump. in the ukraine, which were more than just investigations into burisma allegedly, but focused specifically on biden. this provides another link to that theory. >> okay now hang on. so you're saying that these were debunked allegations in the state department documents? >> the allegations that rudy giuliani provided about obviously marie yovanovitch and hunter biden, are allegations that are generally not widely believed now. they're mostly believed to be essentially trumped-up for lack of a better word. and those were the same allegations now it seems that the state department may have used to go forward and investigate hunter biden, burisma or ask for those investigations. what i think is important about this is the republicans' anticipated response is going to be, hey, giuliani had evidence there was actual co

they wanted to open an investigation of hunter biden. that's why giuliani was meeting with lutschenko. we've been here six or seven hours, i've lost track. not once has any republican questioner challenged that basic argument. you know, here at stanford, if you have an argument and you want to refute it, you have to bring some evidence. a counter argument. and not once have they said, well, maybe that wasn't the reason. and on the contrary, because you said they sometimes contradict themselves, i'm struck by the fact that now we have several republicans talking about how incredible and awesome ambassador yovanovitch is. i completely agree. but that only further begs the case why then was she removed, especially on inauguration day, one of the most important events in the history of the ukraine. she's flying home to d.c. that suggests there was another reason, and they have not once offered an alternative explanation for her removal. >> all right. let me bring it back to i think you're getting it, the root causes of the campaign against h

and it's joe biden and hunter biden. i think donald trump has the right to have his lawyers come in and ask questions -- >> not in this process. here's where we disagree. >> justice demands fairness under law in calall cases. logically, forget about being a lawyer, you could be right about hunter biden. it could be a criminal situation and yet how you did this could still be an abuse of power because you went about it to get maximal political advantage out of it and minimal light. but let's see what the facts bring out this week. i'll have you back for sure. sean duffey, always a pleasure. >> thanks chris, have a good one. >>> all right. so, former ambassador yovanovitch warned you that america's foreign service pros are phasing real harm. why? how does that sit with a friend of hers, a former ambassador herself? how do we make sense of that type of admonition? next. the ninja foodi grill. get the perfectly grilled flavors of an outdoor grill indoors, and because it's a ninja foodi, it can do even more, like transform in

but, given hunter biden's role on. [buzzer] that's board of directors at some point you testified in your deposition that you expressed some concern to the vice president's office; is that correct? >> that is correct. >> what did they do about that concern that you expressed? >> i have no idea. i routerred my concern to the office of the vice president. >> okay. and that was the end of it? nobody -- >> -- sir, you would have to ask people who work in the office of vice president during 2015. >> but after you expressed concern of a perceived conflict of interest, at the least, the vice president's engagement in ukraine didn't decrease, did it? >> correct. because the vice president was promoting u.s. policy objectives in ukraine. >> and hunter biden's role on the board of burisma didn't cease, did it? >> to the best of my knowledge was the possibility of a perception of a conflict of interest. >> now, ambassador taylor, i want to turn to the discussion of the irregular channel, you described. and in fairness, this irreg

the reporting tonight, we are laying out the timeline of hunter biden's involvement with burisma.eaking news tonight that the democrats have subpoenaed acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. let's be honest, every insurance company says they can save you these. in fact, if you had a dollar for every time they said it, you'd have a lot of dollars. which makes it hard to believe, especially coming from a talking lizard. pip, pip, cheerio! look, all i, dennis quaid, know is that esurance is built to save you dollars without skimping on service. and when they save, you save. the only way to know how much is to get a quote. chances are you'll save time, paperwork, and yes, dollars. when insurance is affordable, it's surprisingly painless. when insurance is affordable, i get it all the time.

>> hunter biden. >> hunter biden is added to the board of burisma. do you think that creates a problem that burisma may be adding people to its board for protection purposes. >> sir, i work for the government. i don't work in the corporate sector. so i believe that companies build their boards with a variety of reasons not only to promote their business plans. >> was hunter biden a corporate governance expert? >> i have no idea what hunter biden studied at university or what his cv says. i have no awareness or knowledge of what his background was. >> you don't know whether he has any business experience in ukrainian prior to joining burisma's board? >> i've heard nothing about prior experience. >> do you know if he speaks ukrainian? >> i do not. >> do you know if he possesses any other element other than the fact that he is the son of at the time the sitting vice president? >> i do not. >> ambassador taylor, do you know whether hunter biden offers anything other than the fact that his dad's the former vice president? >> i don't. >> or at the time was

the other key proponent of this is mister kent warned the previous administration about hunter biden re's potentially damaged improprieties that might come out of that and they ignore that at the time and kept it coming back full circle. >> on the issue with the bidens there's been talk about trying to subpoena them. the gop doing that to try to get them before a hearing and testimony but here are a number of headlines talking about that point, nbc news.com there is no evidence for trump's biden ukraine accusations, the new yorker the invention of the conspiracy theory on biden and ukraine. the intercept says a republican conspiracy theory about a biden and ukraine scandal has gone mainstream but it is not true. as for ideas that they would be able to subpoena the two of them the hill reports this was the effort is not likely to bear fruit, democrats have rejected the idea of adding the anonymous for your meaning the whistleblower citing safety concerns and they have veto power over any gop subpoena request. whether is the whistleblower or the bidens democrats make the final call on w
