rudy giuliani is caught on tape. this is audio of a phone call between rudy giuliani and ukraine official ahead of the 2020 election. if ukraine launch an investigation into joe biden, he'll talk to trump and putting the misunderstanding aside. here is rudy giuliani. >> re >> if he could face something like that it would go a long way, it would go a long way with the president to solve the problems. >> to solve the problems. do what we ask and we can solve the problems. rudy giuliani's dealings with ukraine is part of an ongoing investigation at the department of justice, an invasestigation involved a raid. we have more evidence rudy giuliani helping trump spread the big election lie. the man, of course, tells the top election official in arizona to get, quote, "this thing fixed up." >> bill, it is rudy giuliani, president trump's lawyer, if you get a chance, can you give me a call so we can get this thing fixed up. brazen attempt by rudy giuliani interfering the election abroad and the united states. fixed up referr

the court took action against rudy giuliani because of lies about the presidential election that rudyhis client donald trump and because of lies rudy giuliani told outside of court, which violate the rule that lawyers must not, quote, engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation. rudy giuliani told the court that he did not know his lies where lies. and he said them. the court said ignorance is not a defense for lawyers and cases like this. the court carefully dismantled many of rudy giuliani's lies. including lies he told about 30,000 dead people voting in philadelphia. the court quoted giuliani saying repeatedly the former heavyweight boxer joe frazier who died in 2011 voted in the 2020 election. the court said, quote, public records show that pennsylvania formally canceled mr. fraziers eligibility to vote on february 8th, 2012, three months after he died. the court said rudy giuliani failed to, quote, provide a scintilla of evidence for any of the burying and widely inconsistent numbers of dead people he factually represented voted in philadelphia dur

that would be rudy guiliani.te, jocelyn benson, thank you very much for joining us tonight. were you surprised that republican senators issued this report >> i know the senators who was lead researcher on the report, senators ed griffin i have known for a decade and he's very committed to the integrity and truth and anyone who is interested in that will find what his report found what countless election official and numerous board opinions and others know to be true that our election was secure, successful and the results were an accurate reflection of the will of the people. >> what about this question of the attorney general conducting an investigation of the people lying about this. >> well, you know, there's been a lot of questions and talk about election fraud over the past several months and i think it's important that the report makes clear the only fraud that really did occur in our election was the fraud, lying, and the misinformation about the misrepresentation about the truth and the integrity and secu

what rudy needs to do and this is my speech to rudy and to, you know, and to anybody else, they havect himself, so that he doesn't end up spending the rest of his life in prison, right, he may want to actually start to cooperate. >> seth: somehow michael cohen has become the wise elder statesman of the former trump goons. he used to be the intimidating mafia-style bagman and now he's like a guidance counselor sitting backwards on a chair to give rudy a pep talk "you gotta straighten out your life, man. you could be somebody, but if you keep hanging out with the wrong crowd, you're going to find yourself working down at the gas station for the rest of your life. "but i love the gas station. that's where i get my hair dye." it's fitting that cohen looks like a bargain bin ray romano now, because he sounds like he's giving brotherly advice to robert "oh, robert, you got to take responsibility for what you did. you got to tell ma, you broke her vase." "raymond, don't tell ma about the vase, raymond. and we have had heard the feedback and understand those impressions are polarizing, so do

. >>> but we begin "the reidout" with bad news for rudy. thanks to the legal work that he did for trump who ultimately stiffed him on his legal bills, former mayor and one-time sdny prosecutor is now banned from practicing law and faces permanent disbarment. a new york state court suspended his law license over the election lies he spewed. in a 33-page decision the panel of judges wrote we conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that giuliani communicated false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for the former president. in other words, a court of law literally ruled that rudy giuliani is a liar. in fact he was deemed such a prolific liar that he was considered an immediate threat to the public interest. and as you might imagine, he didn't take it well. >> how can they say i lied? they haven't had a hearing. i've been a lawyer for 50 years, never had a complaint. somebody has got to fix this double standard justice system, which is not america anymore. i mean i might as we

trump. >> seth: i mean, i'm just shocked to find out rudy had a law license. i bet rudy is too.ght that was my quiznos card i'm one hole punch away from a free sub." so, rudy can't practice law in new york anymore not that he really was before, i mean, i imagine the only reason to procure rudy's legal services would be to have a lawyer who's guiltier than you are. "your honor, sure i robbed a liquor store, but wouldn't you rather send this guy to jail?" i just hope when they took his law license, they showed up to his apartment to gave him the news in person and, you know, when they did that, i'm just, you know, spit balling here. you know, maybe there was a nosey neighbor across the hall in a yankees hat eating a bagel. "hey, you guys taking rudy's law license away [ light laughter ] that's good, because, you know, the other day he asked me to hide his cuban cigars in my closet and you know when i opened the box to peek, it turns out they were just vienna sausages. hey, wait, can you believe gerrit cole use the sticky stuff?

so if the money is shut off, rudy has got a problem. one phone call that he accidentally dialed his phone and remember what we heard him saying we need to get ahold of -- i don't know if he said 50,000 or 100,000 he was telling an associate we got to get more cash in the door. so that's the immediate problem this presents. how does he make money? and by the way, his efforts at making money and whether or not he handled that correctly under the united states rules and laws, that's probably what's going to land him in court as a criminal defendant. >> jay johnson before you go, one other topic to discuss this morning, vice president kamala harris will make her first trip to the border today. there's been a lot of criticism that she or the president hasn't been there before now. what do you make of this visit? >> i'm glad she's going. when i was secretary of homeland security i probably visited the southern border at least 12 times in three years. and one of the reasons i think it's important to go is to actually see and talk to the childr

rudy giuliani and top adviser to ukraine's president. this call took place three days before trump's one-on-one call with ukraine's president. and this all came after giuliani had spent months meeting with secret sources in ukraine trying to dig up dirt on joe biden himself. secret sources giuliani was meeting with, u.s. government has identified them as active agents of russian intelligence services. getting dirt from russian intelligence, demanding that ukraine use that as basis for announcing sham investigations into biden and he and trump made clear they would get nothing they needed unless they helped trump out. such a sordid thing, and we've been through a lot last few years but this remains unspeakably craven thing. now we've got the audio which speaks for itself. before i play it, note that nbc has not independently obtained this, it is cnn's audio, but contents match up with previous reporting about the content of the call and transcript of it obtained by buzzfeed news. listen. >> what we need from the president to put an honest

rudy giuliani.uspended, today, from practicing law in new york state, over what an appellate court called demonstrably false and misleading statements about the 2020 election. and that, really, shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who heard him saying things, like this. >> they only submitted 8,021 ballots from dead people. mail-in ballots for dead people. probably, easier for dead people to submit mail-in ballots than it is to vote in person. >> that piece of misinformation got him in trouble, got him suspended. or what about this? at the infamous four-seasons pressor. remember? the one at the landscapers, not the fancy hotel? >> we cannot allow these crooks, because that's what they are, to steal an election from the american people. >> yeah. i forgot about the bronzer or the hair dye or whatever dripping. wow. that was -- that brings back memories. or this. this was on january 6th. >> let's have trial by combat. >> well, for now, anyway, the former president's former lawyer won't be representin

and, you know, rudy is not just a lawyer. rudy was a top-federal prosecutor in manhattan.d he is not a prosecutor, anymore. but he continues to tar my profession. he continues to embarrass all of us, in the legal profession and so i think this action was overdue. >> what do you think, elliot? because he was, correctly, as dave says, one of the top prosecutors in the united states. >> right. and it's incredibly rare. as paula had said in her reporting, to suspend the license in the first place but also to do it immediately. now. >> he has a right to appeal it and ask for a hearing but the immediacy of it is a big deal. let's forget donald trump, forget giuliani for a second. look, i am a member of the bar there. and why they exist. and they -- they're clear in this opinion. that it's not about punishing individual attorneys. but protecting the integrity of the system. and if you can't trust lawyers, and set aside all the lawyer jokes you have. i know many of them, as well. but if you can't trust lawyers and can't trust courts, then the system completely falls apart. and wha

sorry, rudy-tooty, you were saying? >> i stand by my father.d everything ultimately by the book. >> stephen: it's nice that he stands by his father. but next time, he might want to stand on that book. rudy's legacy isn't the only thing crumbling, so are our roads and bridges. but that might be changing. i'll tell you all about it in my new segment: "the road to, someday making a road open." last night, a bipartisan group of senators announced that they had agreed to close to $600 billion in new spending on roads, bridges and other traditional infrastructure projects. very important, for republicans to agree, those roads and bridges had to be traditional. i'm talking about one way streets, male roads, female bridges and tunnels, as god intended. don't try to sneak in one of those european roundabouts. i'm not into that lifestyle. that's an automotive rea reach-around. you don't fool me. ( laughter ) this morning, senators went up to the white house to meet with biden, and after going over the details, the president emerged with an "histor-ish" a

and the panel today found, yes, rudy giuliani will knowingly made these false statements.great detail how they came to this conclusion. including the reliance on unnamed sources, on confidential informants which they confirmed did not happen. and the facts are inconsistent. he jumps around in the space of one court hearing saying, yes we are running on accusations of fraud, no we're not. and you cannot do that as a lawyer. lawyers are supposed to be held, no matter what michael says, to a higher standard. and -- >> that was unfair, i agree. i do know that criminal lawyers, a lot of the times, don't ask their clients, did you do? it then you can go out in court and act like the guy didn't do it. so i'm aware. but what shocked me was that one, it was giuliani's disregard for that. as a lure you must be, i don't know. >> that is why, as i said, and practice -- i've been practicing law for the 20 years, when -- the other one was stare against what derek showman who violently sexually abused women, including me. so that seemed worthy of complaint. and this very distant reason s

and i don't think rudy cared, you know why? because there was no shame in their game.n the other side of the phone? igor nobokov was on that phone call, former aide to president vladimir zelenskiy. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> he knew what he was asking and you already knew, you had investigated these things, there was no information like this on biden that they were asking for. is this also true? >> yes. >> expand. >> well, basically we knew what to expect before the phone call. i mean, we do read the news, and we've heard the stories. so the only hope that we actually had was that since we're complete neophytes in politics, we could expect a gentler treatment. but that wasn't the case, we experienced the full "godfather" mode street away. i would be lying if i said that tape brings back fond memories. [ inaudible ]. >> igor, i still got you? >> yes. >> good. just to be clear, when i communications with the administration on this issue allowed your team to say, look, we don't know of anything about biden, this has already been looked at, and rudy

rudy giuliani, rudy giuliani at one point was the number three official in the united states ur department of justice. rudy giuliani was, of course, theiu mayor of new york city. he, of course, was u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york. he was the top federal prosecutor in manhattan. he is now under federal criminal investigation by that office that he used to lead, and as of today, he's no longer currently licensed to practice law in the state of new york.rk tunsttoy this happens to everybody who gets into trump's orbit. do you notice that? former president trump put out a statement in response to giuliani's law license suspension today, demanding his followers take back america. take back america. mr. trump is due to hold some ra sort of political rally in lorain county, ohio, this weekend. we don't know if he's going to put some meat on the bones as to exactly what he wants his supporters to do to take back ' america.ac meanwhile, yesterday, we had the republicans in the michigan state senate debunk all of the stop-the-steal conspiracy theories about how the election was st

federal agents raided rudy giuliani's home and office. seized 18 electronic devices per federal search warrant. we continue to await news of what will happen next regarding mr. giuliani, mr. trump's former personal lawyer. as for ukraine, the president never did announce a bogus investigation into joe biden. they did ultimately get their u.s. military aid once their plot was exposed in front of whole world and forced their hand. as for the white house meeting, ukraine never got that. be but the timing of this audio being released today, cnn publishing the call, hear how the previous administration mugged that country. telling them they wouldn't get anywhere in relations with the u.s., a call between presidents or white house meeting unless their president agreed to help president trump in his election effort, unless their government announced these trumped up allegations against joe biden but the timing is interesting. on the day we finally get to hear the audio of rudy giuliani's part of that pressure campaign, well today, president bide

cnn has obtained audio of former trump lawyer rudy giuliani in a july 2019 phone call with a u.s. diplomat and an adviser to the ukrainian president. >> all we need from the president is to say i'm going to put an honest prosecutor in charge to dig up the evidence that presently exists, and is there any other evidence about involvement in the 2016 election. and then the biden thing has to be run out, i don't know if it's true or not. i mean, i see him bragging about it on television. and to me, as a lawyer, to me as a lawyer, it sounds like a bribe. somebody in ukraine has to take that seriously. if he could make some statement at the right time, that he supports a fair, honest law enforcement system, and these investigations go wherever they have to go, they're going to be run by honest people, that would clear the air really well. and i think it would make it possible for me to come and make it possible, i think, for me to talk to the president. >> about the audio, cnn reports the roughly 40-minute phone call took place before former president trump's infamous i would like you t

rudy giuliani's own voice authenticates everything he said happened in the call.estion is so what in terms of the overall investigation, what does this demonstrate? >> well, chris, we don't know until it's been actually fully investigated and evaluated. i think one of the things this highlights is the masterful job that william barr and the barr justice department did in throwing a wet blanket over this entire thing before it could be fully evaluated. so you'll recall they supposedly looked into it before the whistle-blower complaint became public, and of course once it did become public, they said oh, there's nothing to see here. i think now we know just from listening to this tape there is plenty of questions that come up about what giuliani was asking for, why he was asking for, what was he soliciting, what was he pressuring the ukrainians to do in return for a clear political benefit. and those things should be fully evaluated and investigated. it could be done in the course of the existing investigation that's ongoing targeting giuliani. but it should be look

cnn today obtained audio of a 2019 phone conversation between rudy giuliani and an adviser to the president of ukraine. in that conversation, which again took place in 2019, mr. giuliani can be heard pressuring the ukrainian government that their president must publicly announce a sham investigation into some alleged wrongdoing by joe biden. now, if that sounds very familiar that's because then president trump made the exact same demand of the president of ukraine just three days after this giuliani call happened. that was the july 25th 2019 conversation in which trump famously told the ukrainian president that he must, quote, do us a favor though. trump wanted the president of ukraine to announce a bogus investigation into joe biden who was the democratic presidential candidate that trump most feared running against in 2020. until the newly elected president of ukraine announced these bogus investigations into joe biden, trump said that unless and until he did that, congressionally approved u.s. military aid to ukraine would be put on ice. it would not come through until he did what trump

how do you explain rudy giuliani pressuring the ukrainian government on behalf of president trump?aware of at the time was how much i was not aware of what rudy was doing. having listened to that excerpt from the call and a couple others doesn't surprise me and it represents the impermissible of mixing of public policy with private policy. listening, using his official capacity to disguise this political pressure. it's very troubling, one of many examples of president trump going outside official channels of communication to say the least, in pursuit of his own political objectives, but mixing in government interest. that is impermissible and indeed, i think, impeachable. >> january 6 and donald trump, we have this bipartisan report from two committees. it deals with but doesn't answer the key questions of what was donald trump doing during the long delay. you were there as the national security adviser. what was going on? >> i think trump was watching television. i think he was watching the riot unfold. i think he was hoping somehow or another that the disruption of the certificat

finally, rudy being old rudy doing whatever he wants to get a buck. >> yeah, i think that's fairly puten this was a time where he had a lot of access and what most people would consider a lot of money whether it is greed or rogue or a sense of impunity, he seems to have his hands-on a lot of different legal places. my thanks to rebecca and john for kicking us off. we have a special guest later in the program and you are going to be apart of that segment. stick around. >>> coming up, i have an interview with a key witness who's been turning over documents in this trump's d.a. investigation, jennifer weisselberg is here. >>> president obama with a warning with republicans. a special take that may explain the future of the biden's agenda. stay with us. f the biden's agenda stay with us [lazer beam and sizzling sounds] ♪♪ so, you have diabetes, here are some easy rules. no sugar. no pizza. no foods you love. stressed? no stress. exercise. but no days off! easy, no? no. no. no. no. but with freestyle libre 14 day, you can take the mystery out of your diabetes. now you know. sir, do you know

we will talk about rudy. remind our audience why this new recording is so important. w this goes back to the first impeachment of president trump, when rudy giuliani spearheaded an effort -- or was essential to an effort by president trump to love urge americans substantial military assistance to the government of ukraine, and into an advance to geisha know joe biden's son, who was on the board of an energy company in ukraine. it's a scandal that wasn't there to suggest that president biden had improperly used his power as vice president, to try to influence an investigation with this energy company. it gives me a headache, brian. it seems now like ancient history. we went through a second impeachment since then. the key thing to remember here, the fbi concluded that rudy giuliani was the target of a russian influence -- that essentially ran through ukraine and was connected to much of these activity. we see reverberations of russian influence designed to undermine president biden. a reminder of putin's hidden hand. how much of an ex-joe biden has to grind one he sees

would rudy giuliani have been pushing for this if it was just citizen biden sitting at home? >> we know the teens that and the answer to that is no because they didn't do it for the first three years of his presidency. if he cared that much. if he was that concerned, the former president, never mind rudy giuliani, just because it was a pure policy question, then they would have been doing it from the very beginning. no. it's bus of the fact that joe biden was -- they saw early on before he was the nominee for the democrats as a very real threat and as you said they were right. behind the scenes people in and around the trump campaign, they were very candid about the fact that they were worried about joe biden and this is how it was playing out in extremely nefarious ways. as you say the ukrainians for whom this is not just a foreign policy question and this is not a question about an existential threat to them because of russia's adwregs towards the ukrainians. >> we're hearing about this now. it's 2021. >> right in why wasn't -- why weren't charges brought dish mean, if this

every trip is a big deal. >>> so america's impeachment magnate, rudy giuliani, caught on tape in whatibed as a quid pro quo. this says a lot about not just him but it says plenty about him. but it also speaks to the legions of his defenders. john avlon with a "reality check." >> they say lying is a dying language. but there's one that's endured. quid pro quo. trading a favor for something of value and dominated discussion around donald trump's first impeachment. get this. quid pro quo appears nearly 1800 times in the cable and network news transcripts during the four months surrounding the house votes. and it's hard to keep track. after all, that was one whole impeachment ago and part of the strategy behind lying loudly is to assume that even assaults on democratic norms will fade into the memory hole. that's why new audiotapes of trump's then-lawyer rudy giuliani should disrupt this march to moral relativism. before we play the tapes remember that no quid pro quo was the core of trump's defense. >> there was no quid pro quo. >> i don't see a quid pro quo in here. >> i don't see the q

most likely from rudy's hair. cnn got their hands on a recording in which rudy g. can be heard repeatedly pressing ukrainian officials who at the time were desperate for the u.s. support that would desperately hold their ground. trump decided to withhold that would help them hold their ground against the russian army. and you're not gonna believe what a coincidence this is but at that same time, rudy was leaning on them to announce that they were investigating joe biden. this is what giuliani wanted the president of ukraine to do. >> if he could make some statement at the right time that he supports a fair, honest law enforcement system and that these investigations go where they have to go and be run by honest people that is correct would clear the air referrally well, and i think it would make it possible for me to come and make it possible, i think, for me to talk to the president and see what i can do about making sure that whatever misunderstandings are put aside and maybe even, i kind of think this could be a good thing for having a much better relationship w

it was, of course, rudy giuliani who pushed these ridiculous claims of fraud and stood on that podiumtrial by combat to determine whether the president of the united states lost the election. it's incredible. it's conduct unbecoming a lawyer. >> it's like a fever dream when you say it. >> it's -- it's nuts. it's nuts. i think his best defense would be some kind of an insanity defense. >> today is the 35th anniversary to the day that roy cohn, the disgraced attorney for mccarthy was disbarred by the state of new york. actually an attorney that used to work with roy cohn was my mom's attorney and she did her -- and she got him disbarred as well. his name is tom andrews, he's dead now. but how eerie and satisfying is that coincidence? it's one of those fascinating historical coincidences. >> it is one of those fascinating things. there are incredible similarities. roy cohn was a very talented man but a very, very dishonest man and that's why he was disbarred. he was also one of donald trump's favorite lawyers. >> yeah. >> and donald trump, remember, when he was -- he was mad at jeff sess

rudy giuliani. rudy giuliani, at some point, was number three official in the united states department of justice. rudy giuliani was of course the mayor of new york city. he was, of course, u.s. attorney in winnie york. he is now under federal criminal investigation in the office that he used to lead. as of today, he is no longer able to practice law in the state of new york. this happens to everyone who gets into trump's orbit, you noticed that? former president trump put out a statement in response to giuliani's law license suspension demanding that his followers take back america. take back america! mr. trump is held to hold some sort of political rally this weekend. we don't know if he's gonna put some meat on the bones as to what he wants his supporters to do to take back america. calm meanwhile, yesterday we had republicans in the michigan state senate debunked this stop the steal conspiracy theories about how the election was stolen from trump in michigan. meanwhile, just tonight, a judge in

[ laughter ] rudy saw his son giving a speech in a random parking lot and was like, "i taught him so laughter ] some more legal news, a 49-year-old woman from indiana just became the first person to be sentenced for storming the capitol, receiving three years of probation and a a $500 fine. yeah, the woman said she learned her lesson and hopes trump pardons her when he's reinstated as president in august [ laughter and applause oh, my goodness. hey, here's some good news today after meeting with a a bipartisan group of senators, president biden finally announced they had a deal on infrastructure yeah right now, new yorkers are thinking, "okay, now team up and let's save to-go cocktails. that's the real -- let's to the -- come on [ cheers and applause that's right, republicans and democrats working together, amazing. it's like one of those youtube videos of the lion making friends with the squirrel. you know [ laughter ] it's possible. the compromise was actually not that difficult all it took was hard work, determination and a blow dart to mitch mcconnell's neck.

. >>> now that a new york court expended rudy giuliani's law license, what happens next?ost powerful prosecutors in the country. that's a coming up. . the visionary lexus nx. prosecutors in the country. that's a coming up. lease the 2021 nx 300 for $359 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. $359 a month for 36 months. you need an ecolab scientific clean here. and you need it here. and here. and here. which is why the scientific expertise that helps operating rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. seek a commitment to clean. look for the ecolab science certified seal. >>> saying that he had made, quote, false and misleading statements a new york court today expended the law license of rudy giuliani, the president's former personal attorney. the former mayor of new york city and once-feared government prosecutor. in a ruling after a disciplinary hearing, the court said his statements in defense of the former president, immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law. he ca

reaffirming he wouldn't talk to rudy giuliani and telling an aids the allegation is pure insanity. also in quotes. today cnn caught up with meadows and asked him for explanation. he declined to give one saying i'm not going to comment on anything that may or may not have happened. gas gaslighting. we have the documents. what is this we may or may not, it may or may not have happened. that's not all that we found out today about the attacks on democracy, about the calls from inside the house where at a hearing into the january 6th insurrection, we learned various law enforcement agencies including capitol police and the washington metropolitan police requested help from the d.c. national guard 12 times when the capitol was under violent attack. >> after a series of delay, the national guard did not arrive until 5:20 p.m., more than four hours after the capitol perimeter was breached. this is a shocking failure. >> congresswoman pressing fbi director christopher wrey on behavior, including 50 tips about potential violence. >> the system was blinking red. the committee has obtained do

it was rudy giuliani and president trump, but it can be anyone.nyone watching now can have the records subpoenaed. this is a power that the pelosi house says it has, and those of you who are watching who support nancy pelosi and adam schiff and hate donald trump, just so you know, this is a power that if unchecked republicans can use. host: on those phone records, did adam schiff get any pushback from the bench on these requests? guest: no. he did not go through the court, he just sent the subpoenas to, reportedly at&t or other phone companies, and they turned their records over to him. the targets of the subpoenas had no ability to object, because i don't think they found out until the records were published in impeachment reports and efforts that schiff was pushing. host: you said individuals targeted by those subpoenas had not known because they were previously kept under wraps, right? guest: right. there was no court process, so it was not like you could object to the court once they were obtained. the records at issue, we don't know what if a

"rudy, that's a claw machine." "oh, boy, rudy, you've done it again!gh beanie babies to break even. come on, rudy. oh, you got this dammit all right, gimme a brick." so, clearly, republicans have no interest in actual pro-worker populism they're just authoritarians who desperately crave power. which is why their sole ideological commitment, the core of their movement, is the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from donald trump and now, they're purging from their leadership anyone who disagrees with them. wyoming congresswoman liz cheney is just the latest and most prominent example. >> do you believe she needs to go and if so, who should -- who should replace her >> yes, she definitely needs to go and the speaker's right. we are a pro-america populist party rooted in conservative principle with donald trump as our leader you can't have a republican conference chair reciting democrat talking points. you can't have a republican conference chair taking a position that 90% of the party disagrees with and you can't have a republican party chair consisten

so he secretly subpoenaed phone records and then published them and included the phone records of rudy giuliani, his colleague devin nunes, the president's lawyers jay sekulow, a journalist john solomon and so then i hear this noise about schiff complaining about him being the target potentially of a grand jury subpoena or other lawful subpoenas and then him complaining about it when, in fact, he's telling us in court that, a, we can't get access to the records and, b, he's telling the courts that this is essentially unrenewable. that the congress can issue subpoenas without having to go through a grand jury, without having to go to a federal court, without having to tell anyone or anything they want practically speaking. so, you know, it was rudy giuliani and the abuse of president trump, but it can be anyone, anyone watching now can have their records subpoenaed not just phone records, medical records, other records, who knows what else. and this is a power that the pelosi house says it has and those of you who are watching who support nancy pelosi and adam schiff and hate donald tru
