    D3D7B2F8-7379-442D-97FE-2C0D43C08790.jpeg According to CNN, Bill Taylor told the House committees investigating impeachment that Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the EU, listed a desire for Ukraine to launch investigations into Democrats as one potential reason why military aid to the country was delayed.

    Taylor confirming what trump and Mulvaney already confessed to. The investigations alone weren’t what trump wanted. He wanted a public announcement that he could use to damage Biden.

    Not surprising! If we could dig way back through Muellers investigation and connect all the dotted lines with Manafort the convicted criminal's connections there will be a line to Guiliani and the recently arrested criminal friends of Guiliani's and to pro Russian Scum Turds and criminals such as Dmitro Fertash to the criminal Ukrainian prsecutor Shokin who failed to prosecute criminals to Russian troll
    S and Russian operatives and then to American pro Trump "collaborators and to Russian girl friends of Americans then back to Giuiliani.

    "could have" = Meh...

    The Democrats say all kinds of crap that just isn't true. Sorry, if closed door testimony with Democrat leaks is not impressing anyone.

    We already have the transcript and a U.S. Senator's first hand account that bomb that whole theory.

    Yep! And the Roger Stone trial still lies ahead, along with the trials of the four Giuliani associates who were arrested for laundering money into the Republican campaigns.
    But, Biden was simply icing on the cake. The real reason for the "Giuliani investigation" was to discredit the Mueller report's conclusion of Russian interference in the election and to justify pardons for Flynn and Manafort (and possibly Stone). No pardons means they may want to renegotiate their cooperation (or lack thereof) with the government for reduced sentences.
    Trump's Ukrainian investigation, led by Rudy, just reopened the Mueller investigation.

    Good thing we have trump and Mulvaney confessing!

    I will pretend to be a Leftist and say this has been debunked and is a conspiracy theory.

    Fake Don's bum kissers are swarming with their desperate diversions, as the damning testimonies continue.

    Trump’s top envoy to Ukraine told House impeachment investigators on Tuesday of intense efforts by Trump administration officials to secure politically-motivated investigations of Trump’s political rivals in exchange for a White House meeting with Ukraine’s president and critical military aid, according to sources in the room for the testimony.

    William Taylor prompted sighs and gasps when he read a lengthy 15-page opening statement, two of the sources said. Another person in the room said Taylor’s statement described “how pervasive the efforts were” among Trump's allies to convince Ukrainian officials to launch an investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden and another probe centering on a debunked conspiracy theory regarding the 2016 election.

    Taylor also described the extent to which military assistance to Ukraine and a potential White House meeting with Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart were tied to those investigations, the source added...

    Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the president's lead defender in the room, was tight-lipped as he emerged from the closed-door deposition for a lunch break.

    Assuming they’re as shady and corrupt as this administration, I sure as hell hope so.

    Not at all a question of Lefhists. Vs Rightists this is about what is right for our country. Do we just stick our heads in the sand and let you know who continue to destroy our country and our Constitution or do we let Congress do their Constitutional duty? I say the patriotic Americans go worth letting Congress save our country from ruin and cure this cancer of having our POTUS act like and act for Russia.

    Are you saying the left is the only side likely to hold the executive branch accountable for blackmail. If it’s only one side looking to fight corruption then I know exactly why America is in the pickle that it’s in.

    I have come to the conclusion that there are some who are beyond saving. They will carry on creating a new reality by ignoring, side stepping and denying the real one.

    The Republicans are prohibited from discussing any testimony while Democrats are selectively leaking with nothing to back it up. Why the secracy release the full transcript.

    This whole conspiracy has been debunked from the get go. I suggest you do some impartial research, good man.

    Why give all parties yet to testify a chance to get their stories straight? You don’t question multiple suspects in the same room.
