    I have no idea, I asked you if he did so under oath?

    What’s wrong, is the question too difficult?

    It’s a simple yes or no.

    Three, at a minimum. But probably 4.

    Vindman and/or the person who talked to the whistleblower, the whistleblower, and the ICIG who reviewed the WB complaint.

    we have the partial transcript, that in itself is enough to prove what he did, can't wait till the full transcript comes out

    btw, these were all republican, many appointed by Trump himself

    they had no choice but to report what they saw, blame Trump for doing what he did, not those that reported what he did - Trump should of never put them in that position where they had to report what he did

    I get the cynicism and real talk? There is some truth to it. Trump ****ed up and Democrats have the moral and political high ground when they hold him accountable for the **** up.

    Now, when they launched the inquiry, did they expect the staying power of support to build inevitably to a point where Republicans in the country had to agree with removal?

    I bet many hoped for that outcome and it still might happen when we reach the public trial portion where everyone can watch these testimonies with their own eyes and ears.

    But they probably realized that the most likely outcome is that Republicans, particularly the elected ones trying to keep their jobs in the Senate and House, would not because they are so tied to trump that abandoning him is another, more immediate, form of political death.

    And so Democrats play for the alternative. Trump retains his authority, but he and the GOP are so damaged politically by staying so tied to defending him that they suffer massive losses across the board in 2020. Like you say, to keep and obtain power.

    It just so happens that this strategy works because Trump ****ed up or was being "yucky" as you said.

    There is no dispute to the timeline on that point. Congress was officially notified about the existence of the whistleblower complaint the day before the money was released.

    Would you like to read the Ukrainian version of the transcript?

    If it exists, I mean.

    that's the play yep and yes it works because Trump gives them ammo, youll notice I've not called this a hoax or bashed Vindman or WB or tried to pretend there is no QPQ.

    I also think you've gotten the Republican side of this correct too

    Again, there is no quid pro quo.

    The Ukraine had re-opened the Biden Burisma investigation before the call was made. Both Taylor and Vindman had no knowledge of it until they were ensnared by Schiff.

    So now Taylor perjured himself and Morrison testified today that Vindman went out of the chain of command.

    Taylor will probably skate but Vindman, at the very least, will lose his security clearance and face a probable reprimand thanks to Adam Schiff.

    That’s not really an answer. It’s not a difficult question.

    This is like saying "Trump mudered Sarah Sanders" and then Sarah shows up and says "No he didn't, I'm right here." But Dems keep insisting a murder was commited. You guys have lost your minds.

    You're right. I should expect as much from the people who were convinced that Bruce Jenner is a woman.

    Sure, a corrupt person in a black robe will say anything if you pay them enough, but you can strain the credibility and legitimacy of the system only so much before it breaks and then you're left with nothing but chaos.
