this is getting really sick in the weeds but interesting. >> because nellie ohr has wanted -- one of two dnc contractors and she worked for fusion gps. the clinton campaign hired her through fusion gps and she testified before congress that her organization had a ukrainian source. and schinkel was providing them information regarding the trumpn against the trump campaign. >> laura: so hence the concern ukraine had a hype and we don't know exactly what involvement and rolling out this whole russia. >> they are afraid the democrats are quite concerned this would be exposed. we certainly would want to know what extent ukrainian officials extended this or they were dragged down by the democrats. >> laura: alexander chili but a contractor hired by the dash hired by the dnc 2016 election e ukrainians to investigate president trump and paul manafort. according to his rollout she visited the white house 27 times during that time. she does testify, what can republicans expect to ask? they should certainly ask her about going to the ukrainian embassy in washington, d.c., and asking the ambassa

both her and nellie ohr are d.n.c. operatives who were working with different ukrainian officials to gather dirt on the trump campaign. >> laura: what i find really disturbing looking down the road is that this is -- even though it's out in public, there is still very limited rights to the republicans. they can call witnesses. probably most of them won't be allowed. they can question until they're shut down. then in the senate trial, we'll see who does the questioning for the president, for the administration. should be white house counsel, who is a really good litigator, i hope it's he -- but i don't think they're going to get any sense of fairness in this process. >> no. certainly not. what's even more bizarre is that these facts are known both about nellie ohr and alexandra clalupa from john solomon's great reporting and a political article in 2017 we saw at end of last week politico was trying to bury the article they've done trying to make the facts disappear. >> laura: "the new york times," "the washington post,"

i think adam schiff said that hunter biden, he wasn't interested in hearing him talk and even nelly ohr with fusion gps which i believe is out of the scope which goes back to steele dossier. back to 2016, no, i don't think hunter biden will testify but, look, it is fair game, i think that the investigation was at the point the prosecutor was fired, it was already dormant but it is fair game and i don't think there's much there, though. rob: we shall see about that. all right, kevin, lauren, thank you so much for your time, appreciate it. >> all right, thank you. jillian: fight against isis in syria, more than 500 troops will remain on the ground keeping pressure on the terror group. >> the footprint will be small but the objective will remain the same. jillian: president trump recently approved expanded military mission to secure oil fields in eastern syria after originally ordering a complete troop withdrawal. former un ambassador nicky hailing detailing an alleged conspiracy to undermine beth, in her new memoir she blasts former white house chief of staff john kelly and former secreta

as for the whistle-blower, nellie ohr, that is not happening. that is outside the parameters he has laid for this inquiry. and i just don't see him going there. >> what does this tell you about the republican strategy here? we hear so often from republicans these days. democrats need to move on from the muller investigation. that witch-hunt. et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. lo and behold when you hear nellie ohr, we are right back in the middle of that. >> the same playbook they used to discredit the mueller probe is exactly what they will do now for the impeachment. if democrats were conducting a fair and honest transparent investigation, they would allow our witnesses like nellie ohr to come up. what are they afraid that nellie ohr will say that will unravel the impeachment. when they ask for hunter biden to testify. what if he said, okay, we will let you do hunter biden, but we will get trump jr., rudy, e ivanka. >> give us the sense of historical import of this week. come wednesday, the cameras turn on. it will be a crowded hearing room. we

ohr, why do you think she's on the list? >> they were trying to find the connection between the whistleblower complaint and what happened in 2016, here is what they don't want you to know, they don't want you to know that the whistleblower was on the brennan team, if he was, they don't want to know if he's tied to the people who falsely got on a warrant against carter page 4 times, they don't want you to know that he's tied to the group that set up counterintelligence investigation of the trump campaign in 2016, it would blow them out of the water, in fact, it was connected to the democratic candidate and came from the cia world that's been trying to destroy the trump presidency before he got elected, that's why they don't want you to know who the person is. maria: which is why you have a resolution with 50 senators having signed it about the process that has taken place, tell us about the resolution and where is that going? >> well, we looked at every other impeachment, the nixon impeachment, the clinton impeachment and we

they want to hear from nellie ohr who works for fusion gps, the opposition research firm. they also want to hear from a dnc staffer. clearly, their direction heading very different from the democrats' direction. the likelihood that we'll hear from any of these witnesses that they want to hear from is pretty slim. democrats have to approve the names who come before the committee and it doesn't appear like they will. they want to focus more on what the president was doing on ukraine. his involvement in all of this. you'll start to see that next week when these public hearings begin on wednesday. we'll hear first from bill taylor, the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine. he's described his concerns about what was going on and the policy there. george kent, he's the state department official who expressed concerns about what rudy giuliani was doing over there. and on friday we hear from marie yovanovitch, the ousted former u.s. ambassador to ukraine who described her shock at being recalled back to washington, fred. >> kevin liptak, it is going to be a potentially pivotal week. of co

it includes hunter biden, the unnamed whistle-blower, and nellie ohr, who folks may remember she worked for fusion gps, which sought information from sources and ukraine and put out the steele dossier. will democrats agree to call any of these witnesses? and if you don't, what does that say about the fairness of this entire proceeding? >> congressman maloney: well, i can't speak for the chairman, but what i can tell you is that i think we will end up calling some of the witnesses on that list and here's my test. my test is, do these witnesses have important information, knowledge, or evidence about the president's conduct? and if it passes that test, then we should call them, sure. >> chris: so specifically, hunter biden, nellie ohr, the unnamed whistle-blower. do any of them pass that test and therefore should be called? >> congressman maloney: the first two, no. the third one you've just heard congressman hurd give a very eloquent explanation of why we don't force the revelation of a whistle-blowers identity, so no in all three cases, but for different reasons. >> chris: let's focus o

nelly ohr, tim morrison, the former senior russian expert at the nfc and kurt volker. it's likely at least two of those witnesses will be vetoes by chairman adam schiff. schiff said having the whistleblower testify would be redundant and unnecessary. he says he has no interest in quote sham investigations of the bidens. one witness democrats may call, lev parnas an associate of rudy giuliani is charged with campaign violations. he's expected to testify back in may he told ukrainian officials unless they opened an investigation into joe biden u.s. aid would be frozen. reporter: what lev parnas plans to testify runs counter to everything the president has said. we may soon see what he has to say. lou: joining us tonight, award-winning investigative reporter, fox business contributor, john solomon. the first question following john roberts report is what makes lev parnas more credible and all the others who made statement directly contradicting what he said. >> i know lev parnas, i used him in some of my reporting. he seemed to be an honest broker on the ground. the hears

comay, strzok, paige, mccabe, brandon, clapper, shifty schiff, bruce ohr and nellie ohr, christopher steele at all the others, including even miller himself connected and they like him" as we are preparing to get back into the hearing. obviously we talked about the tweet earlier. he is still tweeting about the news events of the day. martha, you said at the beginning that he wasn't going to watch these hearings. he said he watched -- the white house that he watched the devin nunes statement, and then he was going to do other things. but he is clearly engaged today. >> martha: clearly watching and treating it marie yovanovitch, as we have said. as we get ready to hear the other side of the fence here from devin nunes, going back to what he said initially, he will no doubt sort of try to bring in some of these origin questions with ukraine and also with russia. he claimed in his opening statements that ukraine had participated. here comes marie yovanovitch, walking in for round two after a bit of a break that she got. look for done dominic devin nunes to bring up that he believes the u

nellie ohr admitted was a source for them in ukraine. that's not a conspiracy theory. kent has already admitted there was a do you do not prosecute list. ukrainian a source tore g.p.s. on the list of people that yovanovitch intend did not want pruitt you had. drill that into your melons, folks. listen, this is all one big continuous hoax. spy gate, mueller, now we have whistleblower, fake whistleblower hoax. it's the same set of players. >> sean: it really have a corruption that i honestly, geraldo, never thought we would see in this great country of ours. this is not what we signed -- this is not what our constitution calls for. this is not about due process. this is not about fairness. this has been three years -- three years of never ending lies, smears, besmirchment, bludgeoning attacks, impeach, impeach, impeach. three years. they have done nothing for the american people, zip, nothing. >> they are a country mile away from what is required by article 2. section 4 of the impeachment clause, treason, bribery high crimes our misdemeanors, nowhere close to that you as

hunter biden, nellie ohr of g.p.s. involved with the russian dossier, the steele dossier. all of those people and adam schiff as a fact witness. yes, if you get in a trial like that, i think the white house lawyers and republicans in the senate would like to call all those witnesses, of course, then the issue is, county democrats call the witnesses they want in a trial in the senate? for instance, mic mulvaney, john bolton, mike pompeo, even conceivably the president of the united states. so that's -- it's an interesting road for the republicans to go down but it has some risks, too. >> john: now, in terms of calling those witnesses like bolton and mulvaney, is the president able, do you know, to exert privilege or claim privilege and keep them from testifying? >> well, he can exert it. but it would obviously go to a court to decide and, you know, i guess the argument of democrats in the senate would be this is in the constitution. there is nothing more powerful than the right of congress to impeach and then try the president. that would be the position on which the congre

fusion gps contractor nellie ohr testified that leshenko was a source to dirty up the trump campaign including the compilation of the steel dossier on behalf of the dnc and the clinton campaign. you testified you were unaware that leshenco served as a source for that project. is this still correct? >> it is, sir. >> you said you did not know that ukrainian internal affairs minister mocked and disparaged then-candidate trump on facebook and twitter. is that still correct? >> that is correct. >> ambassador taylor, in your testimony to this committee you said you were never briefed on these reports and statements, that you did not do due diligence before taking your post to discover that the president's and mayor giuliani's concerns may have been -- what they may have been and that you did not discuss them with ambassador yovanovitch. is that still correct? >> yes, sir. >> furthermore, you said it upset you to hear about the many indications of ukrainian election meddling. your precise words were -- i'm going to read them back to you -- based on this politico article, which again surpri
