we had the a between volodymyr zelinsky and trump, that is the main evidence of what went on here and what we have gone through for the last week or so our people's different characterizations and descriptions of it. what we're supposed to take away from that it seems to me is that you have to say either that it is perfect as the president says or that it is impeachable as democrats say and i think for the most part most sensible people look at this and say the president shouldn't leverage his control over american national security purely to do political research. what mainly was done here was the president asked another country to help with an ongoing justice department investigation which is appropriate, to the extent he also through the bidens and is probably something that was poor judgment to do and you could say it was not perfect but impeachable? they are not going to impeach him over that. shannon: we will get the transcript today, the ig is going out to testify behind closed doors tomorrow but in the meantime the wall street journal editorial board's headline is the whistleb

on page 2, volodymyr zelinsky says i like javelin missiles and the president says, talks about crowdcking ukraine to the question of confusion about whether ukraine is involved or not but that is the investigation the president is looking for. the president often goes on a different tangent than someone else is talking about. may be the president connecting these two and the question, was that inappropriate? we have read what was said and can judge the question. jillian: the president going off on his own, he did that yesterday, a lot of people argue about his call on china to investigate biden saying that. some people say this adds to our point what we were trying to get to the bottom of with ukraine but other people say shouldn't he be investigated if there is potentially something going on? doesn't mean he's trying to dig up dirt for the campaign. >> this goes back to the heart of the matter which is forget what was happening on private phone calls. ukraine on one hand, china on the other to investigate hunter biden for these alleged pieces of corruption. things that will look goo

volodymyr zelinsky would not get a meeting with donald trump. how is that not pressure? >> even if it is pressure it is different than what biden did. the purpose of questioning is to get a little investigation about a scandal at the highest level of the government, the washington press has been covering up for three years deliberately and about which they are going after me personally. they get me, the messenger. has been a crook for 30 years. let me explain to you about -- >> i want to ask you -- >> let me answer about volcker. internal texts, they reached out to me. i finished my investigation, they reached out to me, asked me to talk, did it on their direction and control, i reported back to them, discussed with them, their idea, not my idea. they asked my advice. i didn't tell them he must, he should, he must, i said i gave them my advice what would -- the corrupt ukrainian government that has been corrupt for a long time, that it was willing to root out corruption no matter who it hurt, without fear of favor, the way our agency should do but don't. we have a corrup

to evaluate whether ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms president volodymyr zelinskyromised during the campaign, i suggest we stop the back-and-forth texts. it is not clear if either ambassador will be called to testify but we are also seeing in the new york times reports that they drafted a statement for the ukrainian president committing them to investigate among others hunter biden. shannon: we will talk more about this coming up. have a great weekend. it is friday after all. congressman doug collins says nancy pelosi is throwing house rules in the trash and call that a clear indication that it is all about overturning the election. >> it is amazing to me nancy pelosi has such little faith in the american people. if she was right, if she had an agenda, if she believed democratic party candidates for president were on the right track then why is she so skeptical of the american people voting for what they believe is the right idea? the problem is she knows donald trump is connecting with american people, he did in 2016, we will see it again next year and what they a
