JESSICA TARLOV (FOX CONTRIBUTOR): Well, he did take the question, and he addressed it.
HARRIS FAULKNER (FOX ANCHOR): Why insult the reporter?
TARLOV: Listen, Peter Doocy had to be waved over and he had to be allowed to come over there.
...
TARLOV: So he welcomed him into that exchange. And if the president wants to say that it's a lousy question, that is his prerogative to do it, at least he let Peter Doocy ask the question in the first place. And frankly, the president is right to say that he didn't have anything to do with it, because that's exactly what Devon Archer's testimony confirmed. I just – I honestly can't believe it. We were talking about it yesterday on The Five yesterday.
KAYLEIGH MCENANY (CO-HOST): Devon Archer said –
TARLOV: No, just let me speak.
MCENANY: Hold on, Devon Archer said he wasn't on the phone calls. For instance, the Dubai call he walked out of the room during the call.
TARLOV: Okay. Well, there's more that Devon Archer said, like he wasn't aware of wrongdoing by the president.
...
TARLOV: Devon Archer either matters or he doesn't. And it was billed as bombshell testimony. I'm here to tell you why it wasn't a bombshell.
So again, he said not aware of wrongdoing by the president. That 1023 form, that Republicans like Jim Comer and everyone love to wave around, he says it wasn't evidence of wrongdoing on the part of President Biden. That it wasn't evidence of a bribe. He knows nothing of the quote five million dollars that the Burisma board allegedly gave to Joe Biden.
He also talked about what happened with Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor being fired by Joe Biden and the rest of the international community. He said that Viktor Shokin was good for Burisma, that he wasn't investigating corruption there.
Every piece of evidence, so-called evidence, that the Republicans have has utterly fallen apart, that is why Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have admitted on our air multiple times they don't quote "have it yet".
And I would encourage everyone to watch Steve Doocy this morning talking about it on the Fox & Friends couch, where he is pushing, saying tell me what the crime is? What law has been broken?
