  • >> Amazing story, partly because of what it is.

  • And very damning text coming out of the State Department, about Donald Trump and Ukraine.

  • But also amazing because of who broke the story.

  • Fox News has broken a very important story from Congressional correspondent, Mike Emanuel.

  • It is about a US special envoy to Ukraine.

  • Kurt Volker the man who stepped down recently and then testified in front of Congress yesterday,

  • temporary embassador William Taylor, and ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland all

  • texting one another, wait till you see what's in the texts.

  • First of all, let me give you a tiny bit of background.

  • Volker is a guy who went into the Trump administration but is not a Trumpee, right?

  • He said look I'm gonna do my best, I'm gonna do real American foreign policy here when

  • he went in.

  • So he seems like he's a normal state department person that's just a career employee.

  • I don't know anything about William Taylor's background.

  • His text is very important.

  • Gordon Sunland is more of a Trump guy.

  • So he's trying to protect Trump.

  • So here's what Taylor says.

  • This is an exchange that happens September 9th, okay?

  • So almost a month ago.

  • Taylor text, quote, as I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance

  • for help with a political campaign.

  • >> Smoking gun.

  • >> Wow.

  • >> Okay, he said it.

  • This was before the whistle blower complaint comes out.

  • This is before there's any national attention to it, no media, no nothing.

  • These are encrypted text messages that Fox News has gotten hold of.

  • And in the text messages, William Taylor, the acting Ambassador says, I'm gonna repeat

  • it, as I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with

  • a political campaign.

  • Okay, that is quid pro quo.

  • >> Wow.

  • >> Okay so.

  • Now Sunland, the Trump guy says, writes back, Bill I believe you are incorrect about President

  • Trump's intentions.

  • The president has been crystal clear, no quid-pro-quos of any kind.

  • The president is trying to evaluate whether the Ukraine is truly going to adopt transparency

  • and reforms that President Zelensky promised during the campaign.

  • I suggest we stop the back and forth by text.

  • >> I love this.

  • So the whole beginning of that, is very carefully crafted.

  • That is a CYA message have I ever heard one, right?

  • >> Yeah.

  • >> There's is not a casual conversation.

  • That's the kinda thing you write if you think these texts might come out one day, so now

  • remember, Bill.

  • This is not a quid-pro-quo as we are clear about, right?

  • And then he's like, let's get off of a text, get off of a text.

  • Get back on the phone.

  • Okay.

  • >> Wow.

  • That's, that's huge.

  • That really is.

  • >> Yeah.

  • >> But you know it's interesting because while we really focus on what the reality is and

  • that's someone calling attention to the fact that this is done for political favors on

  • Trump's part.

  • You know, Trump supporters are just gonna focus on what the response was.

  • >> Yeah.

  • >> And think that that's the truth.

  • >> Yeah.

  • >> That that's really what Trump intended.

  • Why, if Trump is concerned about corruption, first of all, this country is already deeply

  • corrupt.

  • And he's done nothing to figure that situation out.

  • In fact, he is boastful about corruption in America.

  • I mean, he's boastful about his own corruption.

  • The reason why he won't do anything about Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Prince ordering

  • the murder of a Washington Post journalist is because he does business with Saudi Arabia.

  • He's said it publicly multiple times, that's corruption.

  • >> Yeah and we could list dozens of things that Trump does that's corrupt.

  • He keeps.

  • >> He tried to bring the G7, he still tried to bring the G7 meeting to his property in

  • Doral, cuz it's underwater, and I don't mean physically, I mean financially it's not doing

  • well.

  • That's the one that's infested with bed bugs and so he's like it's beautiful it's right

  • by the Airport.

  • I think we should bring all the, foreign government representatives to my property.

  • So, I'm using razor gloves.

  • Anyway, back to this.

  • You have to remember something, Trump fired the ambassador to Ukraine because she was

  • honest.

  • And they did not like the fact that she was not following their political agenda.

  • She's like, look, man, the former other prosecutors in Ukraine already looked into the Biden connection.

  • We have to do actual diplomacy here.

  • And they hated that.

  • So he fired her.

  • So that means William Taylor, the guy who says in the text, we're doing this for a political

  • campaign, was appointed by Donald Trump.

  • So it's not like, hey, Barack Obama came out of retirement and put William Taylor in etc.

  • It's a Trump appointee and like all Trump appointees, he's temporary ambassador to US

  • because he can't, cuz this whole, everybody's constantly getting fired and leaving.

  • He thinks it's The Apprentice in there, every week he has to fire someone.

  • So this is someone appointed by him very clearly with a smoking gun message there.

  • So I guess, but graduall, I have to say nice job by a Fox News reported doing actual an

  • excellent journalism.

>> Amazing story, partly because of what it is.
