EARLIER WE GOT WORD THAT

RUDY GIULIANI HAS BEEN

SUBPOENAED.

THE HOUSE PANELS INVOLVED, WHAT

THEY WANT IS WHAT WILL BECOME

FAMILIAR THEME, ANY DOCUMENTS

RELATED TO THE UKRAINE.

JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO ON THIS

AND OTHER FAST-MOVING

DEVELOPMENTS.

>> I SAW YOUR LAST INTERVIEW

WITH LEON PANETTA.

IT'S MOVING FAR FASTER THAN THE

CLINTON ONE WAS AND IF MEMORY

SERVES, IT'S A LONG TIME AGO,

FAR FASTER THAN THE NIXON ONES.

THE HOUSE WANTS TO HAVE A FULL

VOTE COME UP OR DOWN ON

IMPEACHMENT, BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

THAT'S TWO AND HALF MONTHS.

>> Neil: YOU THINK THEY COULD

SOLVE THE DEBT PROBLEM THAT

QUICKLY?

HOLY TOLEDO.

WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS?

>> THE SUBPOENA?

>> Neil: YEAH.

>> WELL, IF RUDY GIULIANI IS THE

PRESIDENT'S LAWYER, AND HE SAYS

HE IS, HE HAS CERTAIN

PRIVILEGES.

THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE

WHICH PREVENTS THE HOUSE FROM

INTERFERING WITH THE ISSUES

DIRECTLY FROM THE PRESIDENT TO

RUDY AND FROM RUDY TO THE

PRESIDENT.

HE ALSO HASN'T BEEN CALLED HE

WORKED PRODUCT PRIVILEGE.

THAT MEANS WORK THAT HE DOES,

DOCUMENTS HE PREPARES, NOTES

THAT HE MADE TO HIMSELF OR TO

THE PRESIDENT IN FURTHERANCE OF

HIS WORK FOR THE PRESIDENT

CANNOT BE TURNED OVER.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE BOTTOM LINE

OF WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR EMAILS AND

TEXT AND COMMUNICATIONS WITH ALL

THE PEOPLE IN UKRAINE THAT HE'S

DEALT WITH IN THE PAST THREE OR

FOUR YEARS AND THEY ARE TRYING

TO FIND OUT IF CHRIS WALLACE IS

CORRECT, IF THE HUSBAND-WIFE

TEAM OF LAWYERS IN

WASHINGTON, D.C., THAT CHRIS'S

REPORTING, SAYING THAT WE ARE

WORKING WITH RUDY.

IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEY WANT TO

SUBPOENAED THEM.

OR IF AS THEY SAY THEY WERE NOT

INVOLVED IN ANY WAY WITH THIS,

THAT IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME

TO SUBPOENA THEM.

>> Neil: DOES IT MATTER IN

WHAT CAPACITY?

IF YOU ARE A PERSONAL LAWYER.

>> THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH

BEING A PERSONAL LAWYER FOR THE

PRESIDENT BUT THE PROBLEM COMES

WHEN YOU HAVE FOREIGN POLICY AT

TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS, ONE FROM

THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND ONE

FROM THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL

LAWYER'S.

WHO DOES THE FOREIGN COMPANY

DEAL WITH?

THE GREAT FEAR, AS LEON PANETTA

TOLD YOU, IS THE PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES -- THEY'VE HAD

THIS FEAR SINCE

GEORGE WASHINGTON -- THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

USING FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS TO

INFLUENCE DOMESTIC POLITICS.

THAT WAS THE FEAR OF THE FRAMERS

WHEN THEY PUT THAT IMPEACHMENT

CLAUSE.

>> Neil: GOING AFTER

MIKE POMPEO TO GET SIMILAR

DOCUMENTS.

THE THEME HERE IS WHAT?

>> THE THEME IS, WITH THE

SECRETARY OF STATE, DID YOU KNOW

WHAT RUDY WAS DOING IT IS IT

CONSISTENT WITH FOREIGN POLICY?

>> Neil: RUDY GIULIANI SAYS HE

DID.

>> IT'S NOT AN ACADEMIC

QUESTION.

WE KNOW FROM DOCUMENTS THAT THE

DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL SECURITY

RELEASE THAT THE SECRETARY OF

DEFENSE, SECRETARY OF STATE,

DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL

INTELLIGENCE, HEAD OF THE CIA

AND ALL THE VOTING MEMBERS OF

THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL

UNANIMOUSLY SAID RELEASE THE

FUNDS IN THE MILITARY EQUIPMENT

TO UKRAINE.

THERE ARE TANKS ON THE

CRIMEAN-UKRAINE BORDER.

DON'T HOLD IT OUT.

THE PRESIDENT REJECTED ALL OF

THEIR ADVICE, ADVICE

RUDY GIULIANI GAVE HIM TO

REJECT, ACCORDING TO WHAT RUDY

SAID OVER THE WEEKEND.

THERE OBVIOUSLY WAS SOME SPLIT

BETWEEN WHAT THE

STATE DEPARTMENT AND DEFENSE

DEPARTMENT THAT WAS IN THE BEST

INTEREST OF OUR ALLIES AND WHAT

RUDY AND THE PRESIDENT WAS THAT

WAS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF

WHATEVER THEY WERE TRYING TO

ACCOMPLISH.

THAT'S WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS

LOOKING FOR.

DID DONALD TRUMP USE RUDY,

SUPERB LAWYER, AS AN INSTRUMENT

OF FOREIGN POLICY -- FOR

DONALD TRUMP'S PERSONAL BENEFIT

AS OPPOSED TO THE BENEFIT OF OUR

ALLIES AND OURSELVES.
