everyone was in the loop. it was no secret. >> reporter: sondland says the state department refused to let him look over his old emails, but he did bring one, an exchange with pompeo, where sondland said ukraine was ready to move forward publicly and with confidence on those issues of importance to trump, adding, hopefully, that will break the logjam. >> and when you're talking here about breaking the logjam, you're talking about the logjam over the security assistance, correct? >> i was talking generically, because nothing was moving. >> that included the security assistan assistance, did it not? >> correct. >> reporter: sondland says he talked to the vice president, too. >> you said, we really need to get these investigations from ukraine in order to release the aid, in the premeeting? >> that's right. >> and vice president pence just nodded? >> he heard what i said. >> reporter: sondlandch theed that the most important thing to trump was that ukrainian president zelensky publicly announce the investigations

everyone was in the loop. it was no secret. i sent an email to counselor brechtbul and lisa kenna, lisa kenna was the pathway to secretary pompeo, she would print the emails out and put them in front of her. with the subject ukraine. i wrote, mike, referring to mike pompeo, kurt and i negotiated a statement from zelensky to be delivered for our review in a day or two. the contents will hopefully make the boss happy enough, the boss being the president, to authorize an invitation. zelensky plans to have a big presser, press conference, on the openness subject, including specifics next week. all of which referred to the 2016, and burisma. ms. kenna replied, gordon, i'll pass to the secretary. thank you. again, everyone was in the loop. >> so house intel committee adam schiff also pressed sondland on his claim that he didn't realize investigating burisma meant investigating the bidens. >> tim morrison testified that i think it took him all of doing a google search to find out, oh, this is the significance of burisma. it involves t

he didn't completely try to keep himself out of the conspiratorial loop. instead he included everybody in it, trump and pompeo and mulvaney. so, you know, i think he was at the end of the day a mixed bag. >> well, the thing that he said about everyone was in the loop, i was letting everyone know, you know, i take that and i take fiona hill's testimony and it all sort of works as a unified theory. they were running the foreign policy and sondland was running the bag man operation to dirty up the president's political rival and using this opportunity and i wonder what you think about the necessity of hearing from people like mulvaney and pompeo. democrats appear to be moving forward without trying to fight that in the courts. what do you think? >> in a perfect world we'd love to hear from the boltons and pompeos. and dr. hill showed us all it's appropriate to testify and still invoke executive privilege, which is exactly what the pompeos and mull vain pes should be doing instead of hiding in their offices behind this bogus claim of absolute immunity. there's

the impression that focus for trade of a situation where he was he was kind of slightly out of the loop in terms of what might have been suggested in about an investigation linked to the biden is that what did you make of that that we were you persuaded by that well that's what he has to say right there's 2 ways to read it what is that that's possibly true that he was out of the loop and that the president was conducting most of this through other channels the other is that he's really worried that if his involvement became more better known that he would be facing some repercussions. and i have no idea what he has is true what you think the main weakness is in this and the whole impeachment inquiry we're going to see what we're hearing just today for the democrats and what's the kind of best strong suit in it. well so this morning they're brave they had a really strong morning they had really strong witnesses who stood their ground who looked very professional who indicated their loyalty to america i thought the. the call out to the father of the colonel was a really nice gesture there

all of which are just emerging, is that am bad door sondland's claim that many people were in the loop, as he said, including the state department on the activities of mayor giuliani, i think that is now, once again, being backed up because we see that there were these calls going from the white house to the state department to secure a call between giuliani and the state department. we see devin nunes appears to have been meeting with victor shoken in 2018 in vienna. the activities of the republicans to dig up dirt on the biden, if these stories are correct, seem to be wider than we thought and it does seem many more people were in the loop than want to admit that. >> that was a clear take away from his opening remarks when he used that word in the loop. let's back up and talk about the testimony that we saw in the past few weeks. and we know that it's been said an impeachable offense should be compelling, overwhelmingly clear and unambiguous. did the testimony live up to that, in your opinion? >> we have a classic situation where people are going to be making sense of ambiguous infor

as memorably said, quote, everyone was in the loop.e go. 12 witnesses, 30 hours of testimony and many people distinguished themselves from even their more powerful bosses who remain in bureaucratic hiding because remember how a lot of this ended last week. afterwards we saw witnesses go out to hail a red taxi of washington. what do they believe behind in explosive evidence and receipts, including trump's hand pick ambassador to walked into congress and dropped a dime on his boss at the worst possible time. this is what it sounds like when someone confesses in public. >> was there a quid pro quo? as i received previously with regard to the requested white house call and the white house meeting, the answer is question. >> wow. how do you confess that this week and get away with it? well, look, he could be nay eve about some things, but he came in with larger names an his own. an ambassador to donald trump details who was in on the plot, naming names and according to sondland it was everyone. mr. gull yiuliani, president tr mr. mulvaney.
