and good luck with that. >> congressman welch i want to take a look once again at this moment you had with jim jordan, because jim jordan has been getting away with his stunts in hearings for as long as people have been watching him in his hearings without the suit coat on. so we've shown it once already, but with you here i want to show it once again. let's just take a look at this. >> there is one witness, one witness they won't bring in front of us. they won't bring in front of the american people, and that's the guy who started it all, the whistle-blower. >> i'd say to my colleague i'd be glad to have the person who started it all come in and testify. president trump is welcome to come in and take a seat right there. >> congressman welch, well played to put it mildly, but jim jordan is the big star that republicans had to make room for in that committee. they had to kick off a member, bring him in so he could sit there and have moments like that, which you completely crushed today. jim jordan had nothing to say back to that moment. and of course obviously it's donald trump who sta

joining us now is democratic republican congressman peter welch. he took part in today's hearing. and neal kattyal is with us. what does it add to what could be a perjury case against gordon sondland? >> he's already had one do over, but you have this person who's going to be deposed on friday who heard the phone call between president trump and ambassador sondland, and president trump very explicitly according to the witness today was concerned about the investigations. plot about the ukraine policy, not about repulsing russia, not about getting rid of corruption. it was about the investigations he wanted done on biden. so it's going to be a very powerful day on friday when we have an opportunity to depose this witness. >> and neal, legally, i think there are people out there who think it's not perjury if you say i do not recall, that kind of automatically avoids perjury. and it's not perjury if you just don't mention something. you just leave it out, you don't talk about it, then that's not perjury. how does this work? how do you see this situation for gordon sondland right now?

joining me now, democratic congressman peter welch. great to see you this morning. thanks so much for joining us. i want to start off by getting your reaction to the latest report from "the washington post" showing that officials from the omb and mick mulvaney were trying to justify withholding that aid. >> well, it's more corroboration of what the hearings i think clearly established, president trump used the -- he dangled the white house meeting and withheld the aid in order to get ukraine to agree to do his dirty work on vice president biden. and everything that we've seen just corroborates what the president said in his phone call, and now it appears there's a paper trail that shows the machinations that the white house went through to try to keep that congressionally authorized aid, bipartisan vote, strong bipartisan vote, to keep that at bay so ukraine didn't get it until the president got what he wanted. >> and adam schiff over the weekend seemed to suggest that we won't be hearing from any more witnesses. does this new report give that a

is this like joe mccarthy being called by joseph welch, going after this yovanovitch perfect person?lly interesting is he basically undercut his own republican allies. they had clearly had a strategy of not trying to personally attack masha yovanovitch, simply saying she had nothing to say and instead he comes out and chose exactly what they chose not to do which was attack her and make her a sympathetic figure. >> they didn't want to be orin hatch or specter from the anita hill hearings and yet the president did exactly that role. after today's explosive chapter in the house impeachment drive we can expect hoar drama next week with eight more witnesses appearing before the house intel committee. and on wednesday the democrats will hold their fifth presidential debate. that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us.

congressman welch mentioned this, that the president withheld u.s.tary aid to ukraine in an attempt to extort the ukrainian president into manufacturing dirt on his political rivals. republicans are pretty much conceding that happened, more or less, but they are arguing that ultimately the aid got released in the end. the ukrainians never announced the investigation trump wanted and everything worked out so what's a little attempted bribery between friends. >> just for the sake of their argument, attempted bribery isn't in the constitution. remember, ukraine got its military aid. it was 14 days delayed, big deal. >> big deal. the thing is, though, the aid was not released in a vacuum and this can't be stressed enough. congress learned about the whistle-blower complaint on september 9th. just two days after that the aid was released, right after the public found out what trump was up to. generally, as a general matter, you do not get absolved of a crime because you get caught in the act of committing it. just yesterday we got a novel new edition to th

welch, let me answer your question this way. i would have preferred and i'm sure everyone would have preferred that the president simply met with mr. zelensky right away. our assessment of mr. zelensky was that he and the president would get on famously. he was smart. he was funny. he was charming. he was the kind of person the president would like. and once the two of them got together, we thought the chemistry would take over and good things would happen between the u.s. and ukraine relationship. that's why we were pushing for a quick, unconditional meeting. >> so it's unfortunate that he was unwilling to meet without the commitment on the investigation. thank you, ambassador. >> thank you. >> mr. maloney. >> mr. ambassador, let's pick up right there. you would have preferred if they just had the meeting with the president of ukraine without these conditions. is that what you're saying? >> yes. >> but there were these conditions. and it involved an investigation, right? >> well, remember, the -- the initial invitation that the

here's congressman jim jordan and the democratic rebuttal from congressman peter welch. >> no matterhat they do, no matter how many witnesses they bring in here, four facts will not change, have not changed, will never change. the call shows no linkage between dollars and the investigation into burisma or the bidens. president trump and president zelensky have both said on the call there was no linkage. there was no pressure. there was no pushing. ukrainians didn't even know the aid was withheld at the time of the phone call, and most importantly, as has been pointed out, the ukrainians didn't take any specific action relative to investigations to get the money released. now, there is one witness, one witness that they won't bring in front of us, they won't bring in front of the american people. that's the guy who started it all, the whistle-blower. nope. 435 members of congress. only one gets to know who that person is. only one member of congress has the staff that gets to talk to that person. the rest of us don't. only chairman schiff knows who the whistle-blower is. we don't. we

. >> congressman peter welch has said he'd be comfortable voting on articles of impeachment on president trump based on what he's heard so far. do you agree? >> i think there's prima facie evidence of a crime. i think we owe it to the president in the judiciary hearings to give him an opportunity and have his lawyers cross examine, see if he can explain what seems very obviously serious misconduct. so i think we ought to go through that process. but this is very serious, and i think the judiciary committee will have ample information to move forward if the committee members consider it appropriate. >> all right, thank you very much. voice vance and neera tanden, thank you all very much as well. >>> and coming up next, tomorrow is expected to be a blockbuster day in the house intelligence committee. former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie yovanovitch who was recalled from her position after a rudy giuliani led smear campaign against her will testify publicly. but behind closed doors tomorrow investigators will be getting details from the staffer who overheard donald trump talking to his e
