TONIGHT WINNER TAKES ALL.
HAS DEMOCRATS KICK THE
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY UP A NOTCH
THIS WEEK WITH YESTERDAY'S
TESTIMONY AND A FORMAL VOTE
SCHEDULED
FOR TOMORROW OH THERE'S NOW AN
OUTLINE FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF
THE PROBE.
COURTNEY SUBARU IT MAY BE AN
EXCUSE ME FROM USA TODAY IS
WITH US THIS MORNING
TO BREAK.
>> AND EVERYTHING HAPPENING ON
THE HILL COURTING SORRY BUT
YOUR LAST NAME NO WORDS,
WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
THAT'S TOMORROW'S PLANNED VOTE.
IT SEEMS LIKE A PROCEDURAL
THING BUT WHAT WILL IT ACT SHE
REALLY MEAN FOR THIS PROBE
MOVING FORWARD.
>> YEAH, WELL WE DID GET AN 8
PAGE OUT AND I'M BASICALLY
SETTING UP.
>> PARAMETERS FOR THE NEXT
PHASE WHICH IS THE
PUBLIC PHASE AND SO BASICALLY
WILL SEE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS
TAKING PLACE IN THE
HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
AND THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
IN CONSULTATION WITH THAT
SHARES OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
AND OVERSIGHT WELL, THEN SEND A
REPORT AFTER REPORT AND SEND IT
TO THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND WHICH
ROLE AND THAT REPORT WILL FORM
THE BASIS OF THE TO TAKE PLACE
IN JUDICIARY AND THERE WILL SEE
THAT PRESIDENT AND HIS COUNSEL
WILL BE ALLOWED TO CROSS
EXAMINE WITNESSES AND REQUESTS
TESTIMONY.
>> AND COURTNEY YESTERDAY
LIEUTENANT KURT CLOUDS AND
ERVIN MAN WHO WORKS FOR THE
NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL WAS
THE FIRST OFFICIAL TO TESTIFY
WHO ACTUALLY HEARD PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S JULY CALL WITH THE
UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT. SO WHAT OF
ALL ARE WE SEEING TODAY FROM
THAT TESTIMONY.
>> WELL I THINK WHAT'S MOST
NOTABLE IS AND WHEN I WAS
REPORTING OUT AND AFTER THE
PHONE AFTER WE'VE GOT THEIR
RELEASE OF THE PHONE CALL
TRANSCRIPT A LOT
OF FORMER TENNESSEE OFFICIALS
AND HAD MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT
SOME OF THESE ELLIPSIS THAT
WERE HURT.
SCATTERED THROUGHOUT AND ROUGH
TRANSCRIPT RIGHT SO WE LEARNED
FROM AND ALEXANDER GUNMAN'S
TESTIMONY YESTERDAY THAT
IN SOME THOSE AND SUMMARIZE
PORTIONS OF THE
WERE PORTIONS THAT HAD BEEN
OMITTED AND HE SPECIFICALLY
SAID THAT HE HAD MADE EDITS TO
THE TRANSCRIPT ABOUT AND
PORTIONS IN WHICH THE PRESIDENT
EXPLICITLY MENTION THE BIDENS
AND FOR EAST NOT
THE UKRAINIAN ENERGY GAS
COMPANY THAT HIRED
HUNTER BIDEN AND WHILE SOME OF
HIS EDITS WERE TAKEN AND THOSE
AT IT WERE IGNORED OR ADMITTED
AND
I THINK THERE'S MAJOR CONCERN
ABOUT WHY THOSE RED
MET-ED AND WHO ACTUALLY AND
DECIDED TO LEAVE THEM OUT OF
THE TRANSCRIPTS SO I THINK
GOING FORWARD I WILL SEE THE
HOUSE DEMOCRATS WANT SOME
ANSWERS AROUND THAT.
>> ANY RESPONSE FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE ABOUT THE TRANSCRIPT
ITSELF OUR THEY JUST MOSTLY
ATTORNEY HACKING BEEN MAN AND
HIS CHARACTER.
>> I MEAN I
THINK THAT'S THAT'S REALLY WHAT
WE'VE SEEN WE'VE SEEN THEM AND
THIS MORNING EVEN WE SAW AT
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> REFERRED TO THEN AS A NEVER
TRUMPER AND THAT.
>> SEEMS TO
BE THE AND STRATEGY THAT
THEY'RE TAKING IN TERMS AS
ATTACKING SOME OF THESE
OFFICIALS THESE AND I WOULD SAY
EVEN AS THE FIRST WHITE HOUSE
AN OFFICIAL NATIONAL SECURITY
OFFICIAL TO WHO IS STILL
WORKING FOR THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION
TO TESTIFY. AND BUT IT'S IT'S
REALLY ABOUT ATTACKING THEM AS
AND.
>> PEOPLE WHO YOU KNOW DON'T
LOVE THEIR
COUNTRY OR AND ARE NEVER
TRUMPERS AND AND SO IT'S IT IN
TERMS OF THAT THEIR STRATEGY
AND
AN ATTACKING ALL THE TESTIMONY
AND THE INQUIRY ITSELF IT'S ALL
ABOUT AND CREDIBILITY
AND PROCESS.
>> COURTNEY, WE KNOW THIS HAS
BECOME A PARTISAN ISSUE AND THE
REPUBLICANS ARE CALLING OUT THE
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS SAYING THAT
THEY'RE BEING VERY SELECTIVE
WITH THE AMOUNT OF QUESTIONS
THAT ARE BEING ASKED HIM.
THE WITNESSES SO WHAT IS YOUR
TAKE ON THAT BREAKDOWN.
>> AND IN TERMS
OF HOW THEY'RE SORRY IN TERMS
OF HOW THEY ARE ATTACKING THE
PROCESS.
>> EXACTLY IS THERE PRECEDENT
FOR THIS IS IS IT
STANDARD PROTO CALL OR WHAT IS
YOUR RESPONSE TO THOSE ATTACKS
FROM THE REPUBLICAN SIDE ON THE
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS ADAM SCHIFF
ALLOWING CERTAIN QUESTIONS TO
BE ASKED. AND ALSO
SELECTING WITNESSES.
>> YEAH, I MEAN I THINK THIS
IS.
>> SO NOW THAT WE HAVE AND A
RESOLUTION SORT OF.
AND ADDRESSING SOME OF THE
COMPLAINTS
THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE AND VOICE
OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND YOU
KNOW THEY'VE THEY'VE DONE CRIED
THESE CLOSED
DOOR HEARINGS AND SO WE'LL SEE
SOME OF THESE COMPLAINTS ARE
ADDRESSED IN THIS NEXT PHASE.
AND IT APPEARS NOT TO BE ENOUGH
AND SO WE HAVE SOME GOP MEMBERS
URGING THEIR COLLEAGUES TO VOTE
AGAINST THE
MEASURE TOMORROW. I DO THINK
THE MEASURE WILL
RARELY DOES HOUSE
SPEAKER PELOSI BRING A MEASURE
TO THE FLOOR THAT SHE DOESN'T
FEEL SHE HAS THE
VOTES FOR. BUT IT WILL FORCE A
LOT OF REPUBLICANS TO GO ON
RECORD AND TAKE A STAND ABOUT
WHERE THEY STAND WITH US AND
WITH THE IMPEACHMENT OF GREAT
COURT.
>> NEEDS TO REMAIN IN FROM USA
TODAY, COURTNEY THANK YOU SO
MUCH AND GET.
