Is there any mechanism by which Republicans can compel shifts testimony? Well, I think the I think certainly ranking member Collins is gonna do all I can, but again they're the majority they can you know Nadler and shift they will deny that request, which also goes to the fact that this is not a fair process. Certainly shift is a fact witness. he's not only you know the chairman of the intelligence Committee. in this case. he was a fact witness because he had interaction and communication. he lied about it. I believe he did it. He had communication with the whistle bar, but here's what I think. A lot of people are not focusing on the idea. the the suggestion that it was somehow improper for this President to withhold aid simply doesn't hold water at all. Not only did the President have the legal authority to withhold aid to pause aid upon the election of a new government in Ukraine, he had a legal obligation to do so he was he was doing his job and he was doing it well, no that that's what I've said for a long time. Don't we want a President Republican or Democrat. That's going to look at 400 million dollars of US taxpayer money going to a country that has a history of corruption and say hold on a second. let's make sure everything's okay over there right before we ship nearly half a billion dollars a few thousand miles away. Yeah, John not just a history of corruption, but according to Ernst and Young, the third most corrupt nation on the planet that's right and and here's the bottom line is no less than four times. In the last five years. The Congress of the United States voted to not just not just authorize the President but to to require the President to end. On the executive branch and affirmative duty to seek and obtain assurances from the government of Ukraine that it was countering corruption the in 2014 and I voted for this and every single Democrat in the Congress, including Pelosi and shift Nadler, they voted for this, The Ukraine Freedom Support Act and that legislation authorized funds post Crimea after the Russia annexation of Crimea authorized funds to be used to counter corruption and to bolster the the institutions of democracy within the government of Ukraine and then.
