don't miss rachel maddow tonight. you saw who she has. lev parnas who took lots of interesting notes. our breaking coverage continues with my man, ari melber. all yours. >> it's been fascinating watching you and your pan on such an historic panel. thank you as always. thank you at home for joining "the beat." for all the controversial and contested presidents in our rich american history, only have two faced the accusation the constitution provides for the house confronting high crimes in office. today congress handing off these articles of impeachment against the third president to face this process. the house naming its impeachment manage herbs. sending it to the senate where it will stand trial. it was a solemn procession, taking these articles formerly from the house to the senate. speaker pelosi signing the official document today which effectively under our system of government is the indictment of the president for the high krils and faifg way for what we now know will at least be in its beginning, a swift trial. they had talked ab

i ing this there passive funds are buying that and now finally speaking of rachel maddow or one of her biggest sponsors certainly of m s n b c's boeing boeing is a huge defense contractor in america but they also make planes that fly that fall out of the air boeing shares tumble after company suspend 737 max production so that suspended they're going to have to wait probably until march or april to get any f.a.a. approval for speaking of algorithms this is a plane that structurally cannot fly it can't fly on its own it needs software and then algorithm in order to make it airworthy because of the design flaws of the actual plane so they're waiting for you know the f.a.a. to approve this i want to point out when the stock price tumbles and still over 300 which is up nearly 3 and 2 fold since chump came into office so you can see that as soon as trump came into office it spiked because there has been a huge increase in the budget for the military industrial complex underwriting so odd algorithms destroy the public discourse over social media algorithms destroy the public marketplace. rel

rachel maddow won't leave manhattan that's my prediction for 20 and 20 she'll stay there and she'll pontificate from there and shout at people from there but i also want to now talk about 2020 in terms of the stock market because 21000 and it with a remarkable story i felt because it was record outflows from mutual funds and the . u.s. equity fund flows 2019 a scene the largest outflows from u.s. equity mutual funds in e.t.f. and 28 years this $340000000000.00 in total meanwhile the s. and p. $500.00 is be in the m's sci world. scooting us an index by 20 percent since the $2800.00 started so i looked at this data and he says welcome to the outsized effects of passive indexation the market still goes up into massive outflows as active strategies sell i.e. the baby boomers are retiring and selling at all time highs and passive by i for one k.'s and stuff like that are driving the index higher and taking in ever larger share of the market let's put this into context there's a lot of talk now about how social media platforms like facebook and and others rely on algorithms and these algorithms are p

maddow show they can't sell war they can't sell these things like they have to abide by whatever the you know the corporate line is a rental car or there is stark. it is true right. this idea as you point out the anecdotally cheney fired all the cia agents in the field because they were too sympathetic to the locals and he felt that was a liability in the major media spheres in washington d.c. they don't want those reporters those stars to rub elbows in the great unwashed of the flyover states because they may become sympathetic to the working class they may become sympathetic to the to the disenfranchised in america so they keep them in their little bubble and this i guess is what we're seeing over at the b.b.c. that they were they suggest that these stars that are paying enormous amounts of money in in the u.k. should go out there and actually talk to real people but if they were to do that they might actually become sympathetic to the plight of those real people and that could be a problem in getting the official propaganda message over the line and as very strange that we've seen

this is lev parnas last night to rachel maddow. listen to what he said. >> president trump knew exactly what was going on. he was aware of all of my movements. he -- i wouldn't do anything without consent of rudy giuliani or the president. >> glen, as a prosecutor is lev parnas someone who should be heard in this upcoming senate trial? >> you know, craig, how can he not be heard? it's hard to conceive of a more material witness than lev parnas based on that bit we heard last night in his interview with rachel. let me follow up on one point, the senators themselves will be on trial, craig, and i have heard over and over again people very causally say 51 senators can just overrule. any ruling entered by chief justice roberts. that may be correct, technically, under the rules of the -- of procedure as they exist right now, but here's the thing, the house managers will make a motion to chief justice roberts to have lev parnas called as a witness. i am quite sure applying the principles of relevancy and materiality, chief justice robert

rachel maddow's interview. talk about a bombshell. that was -- that was remarkable. what was your takeaway? >> a bombshell. i mean -- and here's the thing. we can talk and i would love to talk about specific things that parnas said and maddow did an incredible, did an incredible job not just asking him questions but tying what he was saying to the documents that he's provided and to the text messages and things like that so that republicans are not even necessarily saying he's a liar, because what he said is so bad, so damaging, so incriminating. they're just saying, oh, you yo, kind of, ah, didn't see it. it's hard for them to even attack his credibility given the documents and the evidence he's given over that corroborates. the other thing we really need to focus on. it's so hard. so many scandals with trump. >> right. >> bill barr. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> why is rachel maddow, who i love and respect, being the one to interview lev parnas in this? where is bill barr? bill barr comes out with a statement. department of justice says this is not true. now bill barr is in

>> lev parnas didn't just provide testimony on "the rachel maddow show" but documents and text messages and so important for the senate to have a full and fair trial to call in witnesses and have documents and any trial includes witnesses and documents of the senate to not do that would be an abdication of the responsibility and a sham process. >> we're waiting for chuck schumer who i think starts in a moment but can i ask you very quickly because you are a person who is sort of a co-chair of messaging for the democrats, what is going to be what nancy pelosi said you have to have for the managers, the clear, concise case to be made against the president? >> it's a point to understand that donald trump was impeached for abusing his powers, for abusing the powers of his office for his own personal gain and the government accountability office, a nonpartisan independent watchdog agency confirmed what donald trump did wasn't just a violation of the constitution, it was flat-out illegal and during the impeachment hearings i brought up the empowerment control act. that was passed by congress

we should not assume they watched rachel maddow interviewing lev parnas. should not assume significant degree of familiarity with finer points of the evidence up until this point. in fact, by the time the process is over, these senators will have far more familiarity than almost anyone in the house did. you remember the house, not on one of the key committees, you could have and many did ignore the finer points of the impeachment proceedings. senators do not have that luxury. but a lot of them are coming into this with perhaps just barely beyond a layman's understanding of where the arguments around impeachment are right now. >> garrett hague on the hill. we're taking a break in coverage. when we come back, we're going to play for you if you did not see rachel maddow last night at 9:00 p.m. eastern, play for you some of what lev parnas sat down and had to say to her. coverage getting started, about 45 minutes from now. we'll see the chief justice of the united states himself get sworn in. elf get sworn in i want nutrition made just for me. but i also want

rudy giuliani associate takes tale of ukraine to rachel maddow. >> president trump knew what was going on. was aware of all mind movements, i wouldn't do anything without the consent of rudy giuliani or the president. howie: are they diffused by credibility problems. hot mic captures angry words between elizabeth warren and bernie sanders over her charge that he said a woman couldn't win but the cnn moderator blatantly take elizabeth warren's side. >> we masquerade as being mutual, you know, completely without bias. howie: on the many forms of media prejudice, i'm howard kurtz and this is media buzz. ♪ ♪ howie: opening senate of impeachment trial was tainted by rudy giuliani. >> the president was aware that you and mr. giuliani were working on the effort in ukraine to basically try to hurt joe biden's political career? >> yeah, it was all about joe biden, hunter biden. >> unless he announced an investigation into joe biden, no u.s. officials particularly mike pence would not -- >> particularly mike pence. >> the first note gets zelensky biden case investigated. tasking you that you

rachel maddow's program, this is basically a hoax filled dumpster fire of never ending fake news. never ending conspiracy theories directed by the democratic party dressed up as an intellectual new show. while, it's pathetic how wrong they have been over there the last three years. ever get an apology? no apologies. no accountability. nothing. whoops. wrong again. now, let's move onto the the next lying anti-trump a narrative and new shady guest like avenatti and new conspiracy theories. don't be fooled. it's garbage. they hype up the ante trump basis of the left wing. but, we got him this time. last night's interview, no exception. now, we are talking about a guy that got paid, apparently, according to prosecutors in the southern district of new york, millions of dollars were rushed over. now, accusing president trump and pretty much everyone in his administration of pretty much everything he can think of. now, when you face a possible jail term and you think you say something that might either eliminate the jail term or might lower the jail term, most people would pretty much sa

>> i think rachel maddow should be a witness of fact. we should have all the emails and text messages. how did this get dropped. what have they been working on for so long and how did this just come with for the last second. she admitted she has been working on this for months and the house just got this. the republicans didn't see this when the vote came down. you bring you a grifter in who is unindictment. it was total coordination. i think there was collusion between msnbc, rachael maddow, lev parnas' attorneys. they want an investigation, we ought to investigate this. trish: why didn't this come about earlier. >> they wanted to drop their quoten unquote big reveal. this is total hearsay from a guy who is trying to talk his way into a lesser sentence because he's already indicted. nancy pelosi slow walked this process to big foot the president's state of the union address. but they didn't have anything. so they wanted to get the gao report and also to get this. quote-unquote, this would be real evidence that they had. trish: the gao r

we told rachel maddow in her bombshell interview earlier this week that he was rushing to make the deadline for democrats before they submitted these articles of impeachment over to the senate so that it can be included in their case against this president. and so, that is why we are now seeing these documents. he turned them over before they sent over the articles of impeachment. and, alex, we could still see more documents, democratic aides say they are getting them out as fast as they can. we don't know what percentage of documents have already been released and how much more. but we could see more throughout the coming days, alex. >> what about where you are, capitol hill, the impeachment epicenter there. what are the managers doing as they prepare for tuesday's historic trial? can you walk us through what they do over the weekend and into monday before tuesday, things get under way? >> reporter: they are all telling us they're spending this long weekend preparing, trying to get ready for this. a lot of them are doing that remotely right now. but tomorrow they plan to be back in washing

highest-rated "rachel maddow show" ever by the way. more than 4 million people. my colleague joy reid sat down with rachel to talk about the behind the scenes of this interview. here's a clip. >> in both of those cases, i asked mr. parnas if he believed the allegations against yovanovitch and the allegations against biden. that he helped publicize. that he tried to turn into a scandal. if he believed they were true. in both cases, he said, you know, at the time, i really thought they were true. and now, i realize they are not. >> so what she kind of teed up there, and i'm curious to get your take on this. you think that the evidence that's brought forward by parnas, including those new text messages with the aide of devin nunes and congressional republican candidate robert hyde could help to change the scope of all of this? >> it's not just these new text messages. think about everything that's come out since the house concluded its hearings. it's also the redacted copies of omb documents showing that the president himself was alleged to have ordered this hold. i

>> i would start by saying the story i saw lev parnas tell to rachel maddow and others is a plausible story. is it credible? there are a number of data points that tell us it is a credible story but we need to get to corroboration. i don't know that, chris, you don't need parnas to prove the presidential crimes that are going to be debated and tried in the senate impeachment trial. i mean, we know from the government accountability office that the president committed a crime when he wrongfully withheld ukranian defense funds. we also know the president committed a crime when he tried to bribe president zelensky, and we know the president committed a crime when he tried to get foreign interference, ukraine, in the upcoming presidential elections. chris, there's a crime to commit a crime to commit a crime. it is a hat trick of presidential crimes and you don't need lev parnas. he is icing on the cake, but you don't need him to prove those crimes. so the question becomes will the senate be willing to excuse, look the other way, ignore those three obvious presidential crimes and let the p

coming up we love rachel maddow. well done. william barr as we just mentioned is accused of being a part of the ukraine scheme. more on that. f the ukraine schee more on that when you shop for your home at wayfair, you get more than free shipping. you get everything you need for your home at a great price, the way it works best for you, i'll take that. wait honey, no. when you want it. you get a delivery experience you can always count on. you get your perfect find at a price to match, on your own schedule. you get fast and free shipping on the things that make your home feel like you. that's what you get when you've got wayfair. so shop now! but in my mind i'm still 25. that's why i take osteo bi-flex, to keep me moving the way i was made to. it nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long term. osteo bi-flex - now in triple strength plus magnesium. but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. because there are options. like an "unjection™". xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for w

here is a reminder of what parnas told rachel maddow about the role that bill barr played. >> do you know if mr. giuliani was ever in contact with mr. barr specifically about the fact that he was trying to get ukraine to announce these investigations into joe biden? >> oh, absolutely. >> mr. barr knew about that? >> mr. barr had to have known everything. the difference between why trump is so powerful now and -- he wasn't as powerful in 16 and 17. he became that powerful when he got william barr. >> that gets your attention as they say. with us for more tonight, maya wiley, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, now with the new school here in new york. and rick wilson, longtime republican strategist, co-founder of the lincoln project, a superpac created by conservatives with the aim of defeating trump and trumpism. his new book goes a long way toward that very idea. "running against the devil: a plot to save america from trumps and democrats from themselves." we welcome you both tonight. maya wiley, in normal times, would lev parnas have a lock cinch d

certainly going and having a prime time explosive interview with rachel maddow in which you layout a lot of material on the table that implicates high profile, prominent people, is not actually the way the southern district of new york normally wants cooperating witnesses to behave. that suggestion by stephanie grisham is incorrect. the question it raises is what is lev parnas trying to do. it is not at all clear from the interview wlhat the answer to that is. i don't think it helps him with federal prosecutors. what's the angle he is working here, and that's actually a tricky question and i don't think i understand the answer to it. >> cynthia, do you? >> no, i completely agree. i would not be happy if this happened in a case of mine. ben is completely correct. one of the great mysteries is what's the game for him, because it is not going to help him with prosecutors, and congress people aren't in a position to help him in terms of sentencing, and certainly is not going to help him get a pardon, so it is unclear what the game is, frankly. >> one possibility, by the way, is that the

i don't know how much you've seen of his interview with rachel maddow. it is extensive and there are many implications to that interview. do you think it's imperative for congress to hear from parnas who, by the way, said he would be open to appearing as a witness. >> that's something we will be discussing to determine the approach. i saw the interview. it was incredible. rachel did an incredible job. i thought he was credible in the sense that the way he talked about it. i thought was very interesting. there's lots of pieces. here is my hope. yesterday i was there when the house brought over the articles of impeachment. everybody told me this was going to be a time when people felt solemn and sober about it and we're sitting there, almost every democratic chair was filled. i believe other than the republican leader i only saw one republican colleague on the floor. when they said the impeachment of donald john trump, president of the united states, i literally felt this wi waive co over me. this is real, serious, an obligation on behalf of the country. i

parnas, spoke exclusively with rachel maddow to tell his story for the first time in what we learn was only part one of their interview. >> what do you think is the main inaccuracy or the main lie that's being told you that feel like you can correct? >> that the president didn't know what was going on. president trump knew exactly what was going on. he was aware of all of my movements. i wouldn't do anything without the consent of rudy giuliani or the president. i have no intent, i have no reason to speak to any of these officials. i mean, they have no reason to speak to me. why would president zelensky's inner circle or minister ivan cough or all of these people or president poroshenko meet with me? they were told to meet with me. and that's the secret that they're trying to keep. i was on the ground doing their work. >> in terms of the president and what he has said about you, he said about you and mr. fruman, igor fruman, "i don't know those gentlemen. i don't know about them. i don't know what they do." you're saying that was not a true statement from the president? >> he lied. he

there's so much to unpackage in what parnas told rachel maddow. it's more that the request was never about corruption it was about the investigation into joe biden and burisma because that defeats any argument that the president was acting under his article ii power to root out corruption wherefore it may lie, and so all of these threats as you put it, that pence may have been in on it, that is very compelling because the evidence that pence cancelled this trip to the inauguration is key that there was a punishment actually imposed. that's why that is so significant. do what we want, or else you won't get what you want, ukraine, and let me give you an example. i believe to paraphrase rudy giuliani, parnas said something or there was an interview, we'll see what happens or we'll show them. something to that effect. we'll see. and that's exactly what happened, and those kinds of consequences in the context of federal prosecution are key in showing things like quid pro quo and cause and effect, which are so important because rarely are these agreemen

but we begin with msnbc's very own rachel maddow. i recently talked to her about her new book, blowout. in 2019 robert mueller released his report on russian interference in the 2016 american election and the role president trump and those around him played in all that. understanding what motivated trump is only half the story. why was it that russian president vladimir putin was so intent on messing with our election? why were there more than a hundred contacts between trump associates and russians during the campaign? those are some of the questions that led rachel maddow to write her new new york times best selling book, blow out, corrupted democracy, rogue state russia and the richest most destructive industry on earth, where she reports putin's actions were an act of desperation as his country's sole economic industry of oil and gas was being strangled by u.s. sanctions. as she puts it the russian federation ultimately embarked on a deliberate and aggressive campaign to tear apart western alliances, to rot democracy and piss on

. >> he launched a media blitz which rachel maddow drew the highest ratings ever. >> donald trump knew what was going on, he was aware of all my movements. >> reporters asked the president to respond. >> that mister giuliani gets that commitment. >> that was the main objective. >> the media arguments over whether parnas is credibly accusing the president relying in hopes of alleviating the sentence is a microcosm of the debate over the senate trial and as cable news braces for wall-to-wall coverage, the iowa caucuses to the houston astros cheating scandal every other story is being drowned out. a brand-new document dump from the house judiciary committee relating to parnas, how should we assess his claims? and the daily caller. here is something maggie had to say, covers the president, here is what he said about parnas, assessing him as a witness. >> one of the hallmarks of the trump arrow, instant credibility. :at various points, admitting to lying to congress and other charges, it is important to associate fact on their own. >> cnn so you are treating him like teddy roosevelt. >> a c

then the most telling of all, interview last night on msnbc with rachel maddow of a key player in all of this essentially saying everything you heard from the administration is a lie. take a look. >> president trump knew exactly what was going on. he was aware of all of my movements. he, i wouldn't do anything without consent of rudy giuliani or the president. it wasn't just military aid. it was all aid. basically the relationships would be soured. several demands at that point. the most important one was announcement of the biden investigation. neil: consider what lev parnas was saying and accusing rudy giuliani of, president of the united states, and by extension the vice president of the united states, that they were misrepresenting themself. this was not going after corruption in ukraine, individual event by individual event, visit by visit, it was all to get dirt on bidens. a lot of people dismissed that, including white house press secretary, this is guy is trying to do being attractions to reduce time in prison. the surgical interview rachel maddow conducted last night, whether

lev parnas sat down with rachel maddow to spill the borcht. among other things lev parnas told rachel maddow he relayed a message on behalf of rudy giuliani and the president to the president of ukraine that said the u.s. would stop all aid if they did not announce an investigation into the bidens and pointed out if he hadn't been sent by trump as they claim, why would ukrainian officials have met with them in the first place? parnas said everyone in trump's inner essential knew what was going on, mike pence, joh bolton, the attorney general william barr. probably even kanye knew what was going on. parnas even wrote mike pence's brother greg into the mess. who knew mike pence even had a brother greg. >> what do you think is the men inaccuracy or the mainly that's being told that you feel like you can correct? >> that the president didn't know what was going on. president trump knew exactly what was going on. he was aware of all my movements. i wouldn't do anything without the consent of rudy giuliani or the president. >> jimmy: there he is, th

this would be like if luigi went on rachel maddow: "mario doesn't care about the princess. he just loves to murder turtles. he wants to kill all of them. he's a very sick man." ( laughter ) it would be huge. ( cheers and applause ) now the white house has responded to this interview saying that parnas is a liar. they say he's only saying this because he's been indicted for campaign finance fraud and so now he's trying to get a lighter sentence. and trump has gone one step further, saying he doesn't even know what a lev parnas is, much less that he gave him instructions to get dirt on joe biden. to which parnas is now responding, pics,it did happen. >> the president of the united states said he didn't know you. >> i don't know those gentlemen. now, it's possible i have a picture with him because i have a picture with everybody. i don't know them. >> i welcome him to say that even more. every time he shows says that i'll show another picture. >> he's wrong. >> he's wrong. >> trevor: oh! oh! okay, parnas. okay, parnas. you know the game is real when somebody is threatening to

as well as parnas's comments to rachel maddow last night saying that he had been at a lot of small events, round tables, with the president. that trump knew exactly who he was. it's really calling into question the president's attempts to try to distance himself from lev parnas and these other characters by suggesting that, you know, it might have been a photo at a fundraiser but he didn't know who they were. >> matt miller, what do you make of lev parnas's degree of cooperation? the length of the interview with rachel? the idea that he's talking a lot. obviously, this is a guy in trouble who is trying to get himself into less trouble. but the bottom line is he does seem to have come with receipts and texts and recordings and photographs and -- and things that, in theory, could be corroborated because he's stating dates and times and places. >> i'm very much glad he's talking to rachel maddow because he is shedding a lot of new light on this scandal. but with all due respect, he's talking to the wrong people. i suspect what he's after -- you know, people who come under indictment, if you

of course in our interview with parnas with rachel maddow's interview, he's not under oath. could his attorneys and for that matter the department of justice prosecutors be reluctant to see parnas testify in the senate since he's already given so much of this information out into the black? >> if i'm a prosecutor doing this case, i put him on but not as a showcase witness and not for everything, not for pence, not for barr, et cetera. would they be reluctant? he's already out there and he would have to be carefully prepared to steer away from perjury. i think if they call him, he will happily testify and he's trying to somehow to store up good guy points he can use down the line with, say, the judge in his trial. i don't think the senate, even if they allow witnesses, however, will wind up calling him. >> josh, i have to apologize in advance for this question, but do we know what's the mindset of lev parnas doing all of these media interviews? what's the big picture of what he is trying to get across in all of these media appearances he's now doing and what happens to him ne

rachel maddow's bombshell interview with lev parnas, with more of the president's role in the ukraine scandal, including the firing of the ambassador. >> i remember the president saying that the ambassador was bad mouthing him. at that point he turned around to his aide at the time and said, fire her. >>> and dopes and babies. the explosive new book about what president trump says in private including a shocking dressing down of the military brass at a top-secret pentagon briefing. >> i know more about isis than the generals do, believe me. >>> and good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington where the stars are out at the white house. president trump's all-star legal team will include ken starr, the man who became famous for the investigation that led to president bill clinton's impeachment. also long-time harvard law professor alan dershowitz. officially typical defense will be led by pat cipalone and jay sekulow. television personalities for a televised trial. joining me now kristen welker at the white house and garrett haake on capitol hill. kristen, these additions, ken

i'm sure rachel maddow was very happy to get that interview on her own. it is a newsworthy interview as you know, and your business. the only reason to be worried about the timing is the truth of the allegations. >> harris: jason? >> i'm concerned not only with the timing but the credibility. this is a guide that is out on bail on a multi-count federal indictment, he r a company called fraud inc., this guy has no credibility, they trot him out on rachel maddow, not on the 11th hour, but after the articles of impeachment are going to the senate, we have a trial now after this sham impeachment process. where was this guy during the investigation, where was he during the hearing? he is nowhere to be found, he comes out on rachel maddow with a hotel pad and a bunch of notes. the adam schiff sham show must come to an end. we live in america, this is not a third world country we have a rule of law, it is unacceptable. >> harris: all right, president trump again suggesting that speaker pelosi held onto the articles of impeachment, because what i would have said

he talked to rachel maddow today to publically tell his side of the story for the first time. he's part of what he had to say. >> lev, why do you want to testify to the impeachment investigation? >> i want to get the truth out because i feel it's important for our country. i think it's important for me. i think it's important for the world to know exactly what transpired and what happened because i think a lot -- there is a lot of things that are being said that are not accurate. and i just want to make sure that they're accurate because things happened that need to get out. and i think the world needs to know. >> what do you think is the main inaccuracy or the main lie that's being told that you feel like you can correct? >> that the president didn't know what was going on. president trump knew exactly what was going on. he was aware of all of my movements. he -- i wouldn't do anything without the consent of rudy giuliani or the president. i have no intent or no reason to speak to any of these officials. i mean, they have no reason to speak to me. why would president zelenski

the lev parnas interview plus the documents that corroborate what he told rachel maddow last night are explosive. but mick mulvaney was there with the president taking orders. he ought to testify to what was said. blair and duffy were executing the orders. john bolton was also at the center of this scheme, but he was trying to talk the president out of doing it. i want to hear from them, and i want to see the three sets of documents, specific communications, e-mails, notes of conversation that maybe will exonerate the president. maybe they have some exculpatory evidence that shows his innocence. i want to hear it. i have an obligation to listen. i'm willing to be impartial in the sense that i will carefully consider everything that the president lets us hear, but so far he has blocked, gagged, stopped everything. what is he hiding? if it were in fact helpful, you would think he would allow it to be presented. >> you guys are on all in the well of the senate. the senate doesn't do anything anymore other than confirm judges. would you agree with that? >> i have a right to remain silent.

a reminder that lev parnas and his lawyer will sit down with rachel maddow tonight. you don't want to miss exclusive interview tonight at 9:00 eastern on msnbc. >>> and david corn joins me next. a peculiar figure who has been pictured alongside the president and his family. he was seen at the resort after he claimed the secret service was after him. ice was after him. >>> meet robert hyde. a trump donor, a congressional candidate in connecticut, and now a player in rudy giuliani's ukraine scheme. in documents handed to house democrats by lev parnas, hyde stands out. that says a lot. in a series of text messages from last spring, many of which used sexist and bad language, he writes about yovanovitch's location, about individuals willing to help for a price. going on to say, i guess you can do anything in ukraine with money. perhaps most ominously, he writes, if you want her out, they need to make contact with security forces. joining me now, mother jones washington bureau chief david corn. before we get to who robert hyde is, talk to me about what these messages mean

lev parnas and rachel maddow talking about john bolton. wt mr. bowlon knew but i know mr. bolton was definitely involved in the loop because of the firing of marie yovanovich. also his interactions with rudy giuliani. they started putting heads. >> but you believe he knows what the united states was pressuring ukraine to do? >> bolton? >> yeah. >> 100%, he knows what happened there. >> there are now some senators saying that any evidence that was introduced or has been introduced since the articles of impeachment were voted on should not be admissible in the senate trial. why would they not want everything that's come to light since then to be something that is debated in this official trial of the president of the united states? >> their ostensible reason is that they are not allowed to consider anything that the house hasn't considered. that strikes me as not only unconvincing but politically disadvantageous. john bolton has put republicans in a difficult position. he has said -- he has been consistent, if s&ped, i will testify. no one has yet s&ped him. not the house de
