Fox News "The Ingraham Angle" - Interview with Jim Jordan
Interview
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
INGRAHAM: I thought the Democrats cared about corruption, Congressman Jordan. For three years almost, you and I have been talking they care about corruption. ANGLE tonight I said, they don't care about it at all. They care about power. They want power back.
REP. JIM JORDAN (R-OH): And getting the President and what Chris just said is the central focus of the claims is the transcript, we all read today, that it and Nancy Pelosi is going to base an impeachment on that document?
Everyone should read this document. I hope all your viewers do because when you read it, there was no quid pro quo, there was no talk about aid or any type of favor. There was - the whistleblower - the whistleblower himself was not, as Chris just said, had no first-hand knowledge, wasn't part of the call and I bet he hasn't even seen the transcript until today.
INGRAHAM: And I want to--
JORDAN: But he did have a political bias against the President, that was clear. He told the Inspector General, he was out to get the President. So that's what their base was all about.
INGRAHAM: Is there any of that in this complaint. Do you have anything about the political bias?
STEWART: And once again, people are going to be able to read this. If you read this, it's snarky, it is - it claims something expansive. At the end of the day--
INGRAHAM: It's kind of doing - it sounds like the whistleblower is doing what some of the Democrats are doing in discussing what this is all about. I mean it's a spin always the worst possible like for the President.
STEWART: Yes, for sure and I mean, you can read this and it's pretty clear.
INGRAHAM: How long is it?
STEWART: 6 or 7 pages.
INGRAHAM: And is it - is it like hand written notes from the whistleblower?
STEWART: No, it's--
INGRAHAM: Interview notes type.
STEWART: You know, it's funny we were kind of laughing because it looks like a fusion GPS product actually.
JORDAN: Laura, here's what--
STEWART: It's a very well organized, well written document that makes one you know, one supposition but again, it's all based on this one thing, on this phone call.
INGRAHAM: So it is the phone call, it's not multiple other events because we read - earlier this week there were multiple events involving this.
JORDAN: This so called whistleblower--
INGRAHAM: This is wild.
JORDAN: - tells the inspector general some indicia of an arguable political bias. Now who the heck talks like that? You know what that sounds like? Remember, when they went to the FISA court and talked about the dossier, Candidate A, Candidate B.
That's exactly what this sounds like. So this is what Nancy Pelosi wants to base an impeachment inquiry on and what did - what did Mr. Zelensky, President Zelensky of Ukraine tell today?
INGRAHAM: We just played it.
JORDAN: He said he wasn't pushed. In fact he also said in that conversation. I want to drain the swamp in Ukraine just like you're draining it here Mr. President.
