“Because if you don't have the confidence that what you're saying is going to be kept confidential, you won't be candid,” Philbin says. “You won't give your best advice. And that damages decision making.”From ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Mary Bruce inside the Senate chamber: The Trump team table, by contrast, is much calmer. There is a bit of note taking and talking between the lawyers. They are also holding up paper cue cards to indicate to their colleagues when it’s time to wrap.
White House counsel Alan Dershowitz speaks during impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump at the Capitol, Jan. 29, 2020. But today, in a new twist, Trump lawyer Philbin says Mulvaney's initial remarks in the briefing room were"garbled and misunderstood." "We're right now only a few months away from another election where the people can decide for themselves whether they like what the president has done with that authority or not. That's the way disputes about policy like that should be resolved," he answers.The second question from Democrats comes from Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey about whether Bolton was asked to testify.

Good question Sen Romney they gave you a pathetic answer.
How can the WH lawyers not have an answer to that question. It is an important question and it needs an answer.
Chocolate milk is working!
There is “best evidence” and that was early July as I understand it.
You know the answer to that MittRomney ! You must RemoveTrump WeWantWitnesses WeWantDocuments WEWANTAmericaback
Asshats! realDonaldTrump
Well that's a lie. Trump has never had a rational thought in his pathetic life.
No evidence on record? Of that much money? Right there is evidence it was all under the table, none of it run thru the proper channels. Might as well just say 'you'd have to ask the President. There's no record of the release of the hold'.
Both parties republicans and Democrats need to pay back the American tax payers for this wasteful spending on their 2 party political fight on our capital! Stop stealing America tax payers dollars for your petty arguments!
Almost like a witness might help answer this question.
Words matter
No intelligence from the people calling Schiff Pencil neck. Is this who we are now? This is what Trump is doing to our Nation. Adam Schiff doesn’t have to be a bully. Thank you Adam for making America proud
Jay sekulow is all confused and I wonder why bc he said repeatedly he doesn’t engage in hearsay and speculation but every time he speaks he falls right into the brackets bc he actually debates the length of time witnesses can be called or whether it works why he afraid to call
If the GOP calls witnesses, Hunter Biden will go to prison for money laundering.
This impeachment is a huge mistake. Democrats are weighing our entire government down.
Sure Adam....
Go Adam go! Your arguments are so much more believable than the Republicans that it’s beyond funny
Why do you lie?
Schiff is doing an amazing job!
Let them. It will only hurt them when it come to elections.
Funny how all the trumpers crawl out of their holes for this. There are 20 otherposts a day of their crew getting 'owned' and its nothing but crickets there
If anyone reading this believes that Trump withheld aid to “fight corruption”, please follow and DM me. I am an exiled Nigerian prince trying to get money out of my country
The Nixon tapes prove there is no such thing as absoluteimmunity. The link below is a private conversation with President Richard Nixon, A.G. John M. Mitchell and Secretary Henry A. Kissinger. impeachmenTRIAL
©Every day it proves that the Republican Party is obstinate in the trial of corrupt Trump. Because he's the president of the United States, and because he's from their party. This shows that the Republican Party has a higher interest than the people and the law.
Fighting to suppress the testimony of a relevant first-hand witness because everyone knows his testimony would make it much more difficult for Trump to weaponize the impeachment so he could get re-elected using any means possible like the tyrant & authoritarian he is.
Let’s make it 10 months long. It’s going to keep Trump busy and he will not have time to further damage the country.
Swampy.
Adam Schiff just flambé’d Jay Sekulow in Primetime👍 What impeccable timing!
KattyKay_ That’s the same team that referred to the house impeachment as an indictment when arguing that the Senate trail is like a criminal trial however that is the opposite argument of saying they needed to prove their case during the indictment and allow no witnesses during trial
Why don’t you want additional information to make an informed decision? All Americans want is the truth! America deserves better. GOP SenateGOP Do your job and reunite our country. Witnesses and documents will help us determine the truth.
Democrats keep repeating the same speeches. End this already
lol RepAdamSchiff face said it all. He knew he just got owned 😂😂😂
Is this clown show still happening?
In Future, the law MUST change; they should hold a referendum on removing the President from the Office, rather than allowing Senators to decide. Senate majority changes, but the decision of the people stays! jaketapper RepAdamSchiff
As human scum (I’m a never-Trumper) I’d like Jay Sekulow under oath.
damn Roberts does not have on his white sheet
Think shift shite his pants
Hunter Biden needs to be in prison for money laundering right now.
Coercion and bribery. Simple enough.
He’s turned into senile old man, who’s lost his mind and memory? Perhaps he spent too much time with Jeffrey Epstein & those 14 years old girls. Or maybe he’s got syphilis in his brain too?
I agree.
Wow!!!
God will bless him.
Idiot
AlanDersh is simply wrong. Impeachment is a political process with evidence, fact based witnesses, & judgement used to reach a consensus that a President’s conduct rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. Has or is the President’s conduct endangering the country? YES!
U.S. Code 30121: Am I a joke to you!?
What a joke.
Talk to my balls because my glans aint listening.
That's not what he said during clintons
Dershowitz is just an old dottard like his client. Trump's intent is clearly criminal/bad. Evidence points to it & hidden evidence will just prove it which is why they are blocking it. What a disgrace this clown act is. All these LIARS deceiving the Amrcn People. Shame on Repubs
Harvard_Law your guy out hear calling y’all partisan because u do not agree with him. Wasted degree
Oh look, it’s Alan Hypocritz!
“Abuse” is the key word and they can’t prove it. Wasting taxpayer money for political gain and selfish motives is a bigger abuse of power
yeah, it actually says that in the law. High Crimes and Misdemeanors
ABC keep this demo=rat imbecile supplied in dirty socks so he can stuff one in his mouth
Yes Schiff but you didn't do anything about illegal quid pro quo Biden did with Ukraine & how it was self serving & Obama let it be held up.Schiff didn't do anything to Romney!Schiff you're a vile hypocritical & corrupt politician! You & Pelosi never did a thing to Obama & Biden!
WE DEMAND FULL DISCLOSURE! Let the American ppl decide if Trump is guilty or not. The GOP SENATORS are obstructing justice by blocking witnesses & documents. If Trump has nothing to hide, PROVE IT TO ALL OF US BY CONDUCTING A REAL TRIAL! SenSchumer senatemajldr
Well, let's hear his own words on it- 'warm & cordial' does not describe what the dems are accusing.
One fact Schiff has proven: He put politics and his hatred for Trump above truth, fairness and the people in U.S.
Stick a fork in it Adam, you're done. On to victory 🇺🇲 Trump 2020🇺🇲
الى الامم_المتحدة الشباب تقتل في العراق دماء الشباب تسيل في العراق انقذونا من القتلة تدخلوا_وانقذونا To_the_UN The Young people are killed in Iraq. The blood of young people is spilled in Iraq Save us from the killers. Come in and save us!
He would have kept they Bolton subpoena in the House - too bad he rescinded it, now he’ll have to read the book (if this idiot can even read).
Wait wait wait... I thought ALL quid pro quos were considered wrong and/or illegal... but now, ok some r good and some r bad... ?
Guiding principle in law that nothing can be illegal unless there is a law that specifically forbids it. Latitude for ethics choices pllicy choices whether popular or not. Voters gave hom mandate to close door on illegals whilebusiness uses them for cheap labor
At this point the GOP should just remove trump, and let Pence be president. Their only hope to have the party save face, is to make Pence look good. That could potentially save the fractured party and unite it before the elections.... or just let them continue to implode.
ABC News: It a sad day for America that the Democrats pursue this add more drama ' wanting to remove their President from office. Who has done a far better job' than they when they were in power
