record a document indicating that the

00:48

law firm representing Tony balinski was

00:50

paid $10,000 as recently as January of

00:53

this year by the save America pack which

00:56

you may recognize as Donald Trump's pack

00:58

without objection thank you now so far

01:02

in this hearing it has felt like the

01:04

worst episode of The Apprentice I'm sure

01:06

you're familiar with that show it seems

01:09

like my colleagues and maybe you and

01:10

some others are trying to become the

01:13

next Vice President of the United States

01:16

of America you're auditioning or

01:17

something like that because Mr balinski

01:20

I know that you take exception to the

01:22

fact that your credibility has been

01:25

called into question over and over but

01:27

when someone comes to testify under oath

01:30

whether it's before this committee

01:31

behind closed doors or in person then we

01:33

have to evaluate someone's credibility

01:36

and sir I definitely have always had

01:38

issues with your credibility as I know

01:41

that you are very well aware of so let

01:43

me remind you of what happened behind

01:45

closed doors I have you should ask

01:47

her you a

01:50

question okay you are when I I haven't

01:53

so when I asked you a question that's

01:54

when you answer otherwise I'm talking so

01:57

excuse me with my time cuz it's my time

02:00

I want to be clear that when we were

02:02

behind closed doors you called a number

02:04

of people Liars you called The Wall

02:07

Street Journal Liars you called Cassidy

02:10

Hutchinson a liar you called the FBI a

02:13

liar you called Rob Walker a liar you

02:16

called James giler a liar you called

02:18

Hunter Biden a liar you called Jim Biden

02:21

a liar and just today you added to your

02:23

list you called my colleague Congressman

02:26

Mr Goldman a liar as well it seems seems

02:30

like according to you the only person

02:32

that's telling the truth is you and

02:34

everyone else is lying but I want to

02:37

move on to something else is that a

02:39

question or it's not a question okay

02:41

you'll know when I ask you a question I

02:43

promise thank you so the other thing

02:45

that I want to talk about is um the fact

02:48

that my colleague from the other side of

02:51

the aisle talked about the company that

02:54

we keep and she wanted to go through a

02:58

list of people that she felt like were

03:01

bad company because right now the

03:03

majority has been relying upon the

03:05

testimony of someone who's currently

03:07

sitting in federal prison and we know

03:11

that your company is the company of

03:13

somebody who's been found liable of

03:15

fraud uh as well as defamation as well

03:19

as sexual uh assault and for whatever

03:22

reason can't pay his bills uh at this

03:25

point in time but I'm going to ask Mr

03:28

parnis so this is a question to him are

03:31

you aware if Trump had any Associates

03:35

that have been found guilty of

03:38

anything yes lots of them lots of them

03:41

me included you included okay so when

03:45

you were called here to

03:47

testify you weren't called here to

03:50

testify for any other reason than to

03:52

tell the truth is that correct yes

03:54

congresswoman now we started this whole

03:58

sham off because of the

04:00

1023 and that was debunked by you was it

04:04

not yes congresswoman way before we

04:07

started this impeachment inquiry and you

04:10

mentioned a number of times this guy by

04:12

the name of Rudy Giuliani yes now you

04:15

know everybody is so stressed about the

04:17

fact that Hunter ain't here today but

04:20

you know Hunter came and testified

04:21

behind closed doors for over six hours

04:24

and every single one of them they

04:25

weren't limited to 5 minutes they could

04:26

ask whatever they wanted to and there is

04:28

a full transcript of his testimony so I

04:30

don't know what else they wanted to do

04:32

besides the fact that they wanted to put

04:33

on the show but let me tell you

04:34

something this whole thing is based upon

04:37

something that juliani came up with yes

04:39

and and we tried to subpoena him if I'm

04:43

that's what I remember if anybody else

04:44

remember we tried we asked we said hey

04:47

we should subpoena Giuliani but you know

04:49

kind of like when we were trying to get

04:50

his cell phone they shut it down right

04:53

like they don't want the facts but you

04:55

would agree with me that considering the

04:57

fact that you were working under Rudy

04:59

Julie I at the time that you went over

05:02

to Ukraine that he has maybe some

05:05

valuable information that he could offer

05:07

this committee as to whether or not

05:09

there's anything that we should be

05:10

investigating in the first place

05:12

absolutely Congressman I wish that this

05:14

committee would subpena Rudy Giuliani

05:16

put him under oath alongside me to get

05:18

to the bottom of the truth of what

05:19

actually happened in Ukraine and to the

05:21

manipulation that Trump and Giuliani and

05:23

the team went to do I I agree with you

05:26
