    The most explosive revelation came from Taylor, who told lawmakers that one of his aides overheard Gordon Sondland — the U.S. ambassador to the European Union and a top Trump campaign donor — on the phone with the president, during which the aide could hear Trump ask about “the investigations.” Taylor said Sondland told the president that the Ukrainians were “ready to move forward.”

    And of course, Trump is the only one that has helped Ukraine with lethal aid. Obama was afraid of upsetting the Russians.

    And the nonlethal aid wasn't even dropped or trucked by us into Ukraine.

    Ironically, I suspect those democrats that were on the fence and worried about their seats are now going "Psst, Pelosi... There is NO WAY IN HELL am I voting for impeachment after this debacle."

    Yes Burisma was teaming with corruption and the oligarchs had the son of the sitting VP in their backpocket and using him to gain influence in the State Department.

    And the Ukraines working with the Obama administration and Clinton campaign and the DNC to try and dig up dirt on Trump to use to influence the election in 2016. Nunes laid out the facts of the matter.

    I think it got under that date but so what anyway. They have the aid which only adds to the previous aid which was far more than the Obama administration ever sent ACCORDING TO THE WITNESSES.

    Democrats Today: Supporting Ukraine against Russia is an important National Security Measure

    Ukraine in 2014: We've been invaded by the Russians please send help

    Democrats in 2014: Sure we've got those shiney blankets and the mac and cheese MREs coming your way Ukraine

    1. Firstly I would say that I was very impressed with the witnesses, they came over as deeply intelligent men who went out of their way to be balanced and truthful.

    2. The Dems kept trying to make them condemn Trump and they never would, there was a LOT of grandstanding from the DNC, they kept wanting opinion.

    3. By contrast the Republicans kept harrying away at the facts, over military aid, over the circumstances of the call etc

    Overall I was unconvinced, you could interpret the call as quid pro quo but that's a reach and so far all we've had is a load of blatant hearsay that falls far short of the evidential standard. I'm afraid I have to side with Trump on this one.

    He’s lying because he needs the missiles. FFS, your being obtuse.

    Taylor spelled it out pretty clearly today when he told of Trumps requirement in that Zelensky need to “publicly open an investigation into Biden”, and Taylor also said that Trump repeatedly told him he needed to “go to a microphone and tell everyone he was opening an investigation”

    That part was conveniently left out of the call memo. I’ll bet that that is part of the actuall call record, and thats why its now on a separate server that Trump can control. It sounds like he doubles down on the rest of the call, and thats probably why they wont release the actual record.

    Total nonsense. It's the duty of the President to work with Ukraine in rooting out corruption.

    If Biden happens to be a part of that corruption, that's Biden's problem. No one is above the law, including Biden. If there is a crime involved, it's a crime by Biden, not by the President.

    There are a lot of blanks. Yeah I'd like to see more. Perhaps Biden and the complainer and those who leaked classified information to him and Schiff himself.

    He got the missiles did he open the investigation. So now you attack Zelinsky. And now you attack the career CIA officers who transcribed the conversation and refuse to acknowledge that is was because persons within the WH were leaking classified information from those talks between the President and foreign leaders threatening our foreign policy and national security? OF COURSE they are taking greater care in protecting those protected conversations but when requested by Congress they sent them copies.

    Pure speculation, which isn't evidence.

    How about we just not quash an investigation on corruption, as Plugs caused?

    Dems want people to condemn Trump based on emotion, when clearly there is no meat to these accusations. They also want the appearance of a legal process (impresses the low info crowd) when this is a political process.

    Poor Sondland. They are trying to make an honest man out of him by scheduling Taylor's staffer, with the info on Trump's statement, after him.
