he asked ambassador jovanovich to respond. it would have been more responsible to let ambassador jovanovich read the entire tweet, digest it, and respond. if you want to talk about what president trump said to ambassador zelensky, he loves to withhold key facts. he withholds information purity he outright -- information. he outright lies. he cherry picks tweets. it was the entire approach to it. the fact that they never asked ambassador jovanovich about what president zelensky said about her. that is how he rolls with all of this. why is president trump putting out information? adam schiff only once the american public to have 3% of the information and connect dots. adami am not on the house intelligence committee. by the way, we have an -- we have asked ambassador jovanovich. anyone can go back and read her deposition. we spent a are nine hours -- we spent eight or nine hours. schiff is only going to tell the american public 3%. [indiscernible] aboutthe impeachment withholding aid? that is really what i thought it was about.

she is staying to present trumpet he is concerned that investor jovanovich is that investor and that she believes the master of you know that had the loyalty to the other present. adam schiff, when posing the question to investor jovanovich responded tweet, never even mentioned that. this is what he does. his opening statement, made up a fictitious cooktop call transcript of july 25th because everyone doesn't have the bribery that he was to allege. so just like that, make believe what he called dirty. instead he created a parody version of the tweet. a partial rendition were enough that out. then as the ambassador to respond. i say it would've been more responsible than she was just a question tell investor jovanovich read the entire tweet to digest it and then respond. by the way, if you want to talk about what president trump said to the president zielinski about investor jovanovich, why would he cherry pick out once again, that's how he rolls. he withholds information any outright lied and cherry picks lakes. in this case, he took apart the tweet. entire approach to it, never aske

mary jovanovich. [background sounds] >> up talk about transparency. i am the most transparent president in history. i tell you about what tempering is. it's when a guy like 50 shift, doesn't let us have lawyers tampering is when schiff doesn't let us have witnesses and doesn't let us speak. i've been watching today for the first time. i started watching and it is really sad we do see people not allowed to ask questions and it is totally nobody has ever had such horrible due process. there was no due process. and i say it is considered a joke, off of washington and all of the world, the republicans are given no due process whatsoever. are not allowed to do anything. if it's a disgrace what is happening but you know what the american public understands it and that's why the poll numbers are so good. and that's why other things are so good. what they are doing and washington, or that hearing and by the way it is a political process. as a legal process. so 570 staying, i'm allowed to speak up, somebody says about me, were not allowed to have any kind of r

remember, maria jovanovich was fired because the president lost confidence in her.'m not questioning his credibility, i just think the appearance of his problem, not being able to have the confidence of mike pompeo is going to be a problem. >> greg: do you think this excuse to leave to brussels just sprouted up? >> jesse: brussels sprouts. >> juan: i wanted to make sure i was giving him a laugh. i wanted to make sure i got it. brussels sprouts. i get it. >> greg: it's it for the kids watching at home. i care about the children. >> juan: i appreciate that. but i was going to add that i think you have to consider with today's testimony, and the fact that he is going back, who is gordon sondland? for me, i was thinking the idea that, a lot of these people are never trumpers. i don't think he is a never trumper. i think he gave a lot of money to president trump, he was selected by mike pompeo and the president. people asked him committee speak to the president often and he said, maybe 20 times. i think that is a lot. secondly, you can't say this is the deep state. again

our depositions and this morning we released the depositions of ambassador mckinley, ambassador jovanovichi will leave you all to review those chains gives and there are a few things that became clear. the first is contrary to the claims of the president and his accolades on the health of these have been proceedings in which the republicans have not been able to be present or ask questions but in fact, rebellions were present for all depositions and they had equal opportunity as democrats to ask questions. they took full advantage of those opportunities. you will see in ambassador testimony what a dedicated public servant she is. this is someone who served the country with distinction for decades and someone who also is one of the witnesses to this irregular back channel that the president established with rudy giuliani and the damage it was doing to america's national security and foreign policy interests. how it worked in opposition not in support of u.s. policy objectives and ambassador yovanovitch had a well-earned reputation as a fighter of corruption and she was working with ukraine

as we see in the released transcripts of testimony from both former ambassador marie jovanovich and bill taylor, these folks aren't happy unless their foreign country of focus is a wash in taxpayer money. they are both adamant that ukraine get lethal military aid regardless of whether or not it cleaned up its abysmal track record on fighting corruption. taylor saw his policy as an improvement on obama, he was happy that we were providing aid to, a substantial improvement, and this administration provided javelin antitank weapons. still, trump is far more skeptical of foreign aid than any of the people who listened in on his call. frankly most of the people shouldn't be working in the white house let alone in a high-level position such as ambassador. marie yovanovitch testimony illustrates why, the democrats interviewing her were only interested in the drama surrounding her firing. >> the transcript of her closed-door testimony has the words "seal," felt" and "emotion" 43 times. it sounds like this woman needs to be on a therapist's couch, not a witness stand. george kennan's testimony wa
