It is rather unfortunate that these are the best questions Joe Jordan is asking. Yes the witness don't have direct link to the phone call, their testimonies transcripts from closed door hearings and the public hearing today fully collaborate the July 25 phone call transcript released by the White House (try to read the phone call transcript again). One of the witness I believe Taylor further mentioned another damning allegation about one of his staff listening to a phone call between Snodland and Trump.
The Republicans are not seious, they are still mentioning Obama, Hillary Clinton, Fusion Intels, issues going back to 2014, how pathetic.
It's pathetic to think you can impeach a president based on hearsay, even pick pockets are not convicted based on hearsay
obixcel: Hahaha! Democrats proped him up as their "star witness" whereas he himself admitted that he isn't a star witness. He wasn't even on the call President Trump had with the Ukrainian President.
This exchange with Jim Jordan says it all;
Jim Jordan: You didn’t listen in on President Trump & Zelensky’s call?
Taylor: I did not.
Jordan: You’ve never talked with Chief of Staff Mulvaney?
Taylor: I never did.
Jordan: You’ve never met the President?
Taylor: That’s correct.
Jordan: And you’re their star witness?
Democrats want to impeach the president based on the testimony of a "witness" who didn't witness anything
garetz: All three major liberal networks (fake news CNN, NBC and CBS ) are hushing up coverage of an international pedophile ring involving some of the world's most powerful men.
NBC killed story exposing Harvey Weinstein, saying it didn't meet their editorial standards.
ABC killed story on Jeffrey Epstein, giving the same excuse
someone leaked the massive bombshell about ABC covering up for the highly connected pedophile Epstein
ABC found out the whistleblower, Ashley Bianco, a former ABC News employee who now worked for CBS and CBS News fired her
Two liberal news networks colluded to fire someone who leaked a massive bombshell about one of them covering up for a highly connected pedophile
CNN's role? They have completely refused to cover the news. Not only have they ignored this major story about ABC News killing the Epstein story years ago, they refuse to report how CBS News has assisted ABC News in punishing the person who exposed it.
The liberal media are evil and corrupt. If they do this in plain sight, what won't they do behind close doors?
Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick were all over ABC News with their circus at the height of the confirmation battle over Kavanaugh. But the Epstein story didn't meet ABC’s editorial standards? Journalism in America has become a Joke
Lucasbalo: Howdy my millionaire friend. Your mouth must be stuck at the Orange Pig a$s for you to be spitting these junk out. Anyway, how is your multi million Naira business doing ?.
my business is doing fine hence, l don't fall for the stupid idea that i need a politician to take other people's hard earned money and share to me before i can get by. can't say the same for plantation niggers, they seem to always have their eyes on other people's money
"A newly filed complaint to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) alleges that the whistleblower whose allegations touched off House Democrats' impeachment inquiry may have violated federal law by indirectly soliciting more than a quarter-million dollars from mostly anonymous sources via a GoFundMe page.
The complaint, which was filed last week and obtained by Fox News, alleged the donations from roughly 6,000 individuals "clearly constitute" gifts to a current intelligence official that may be restricted because of the employee's official position pursuant to 5 CFR 2635.203 and other statutes. To date, the GoFundMe has raised over $227,000...."
Still very interesting how Democrats and the media kept demanding to hear from the whistleblower and yet the moment his identity was revealed and the coordination between him and Adam Schiff became public, the whistleblower was “no longer relevant”
Independents oppose impeachment, swing state voters hate it, Brutal impeachment numbers for Dems in Monmouth poll: 73% have little/no trust in process, 60% say Dems are more interested in destroying Trump than finding facts, 51% oppose impeachment, only 37% say Trump's actions are clear grounds for impeachment.
feedthenation: When President Trump took office in January 2017, there were 241 Republicans in the House. Since then, 101 have either been defeated/retired/otherwise left office or are retiring in 2020. How many will remain by November 5, 2020?
At the same point in the Obama presidency, Democrats lost 768 seats in state legislatures in addition to losing control of both the Senate and house of Reps inspite of the media fawning over him daily. Trump has endured back to back negative news coverage from the media, yet he is doing way better than your low budget Messiah, obozo the blundering clown
New text messages released by Flynn's lawyers reveal that Lisa Page and Peter Strzok edited Flynn’s 302 form and essentially fabricated evidence,
Making it look like Flynn lied to the FBI, when he didn’t.
Page and Strzok should be prosecuted immediately!
Crazy!! they edited General Flynn's FBI Report to frame him for crimes!!
Michael Flynn’s attorney, Sidney Powell is now requesting the Courts to dismiss the entire case against him
''Mr. Flynn will ask this Court to dismiss the entire prosecution based on the outrageous and un-American conduct of law enforcement officials and the subsequent failure of the prosecution to disclose this evidence.''
...Exactly!!!...only that this doesn't blow massively in both Trump and Barr's face...
...But let us look into the genesis of this impending criminal investigation by John Durham...How did all these began...
...This is a far-right conspiracy theory that Russia did not interfere in the 2016 election...and that it was Hillary Clinton...with the help of career government officials... including many lifelong Republicans like Robert Mueller...Robert Comey...who acted to create a false flag operation to operate as an insurance policy against a Trump presidency...
...Part of this theory is that Seth Rich is the person who sent the Clinton emails to Wikileaks (which is NOT a Russian intelligence cutout/asset) and that Hillary Clinton had him murdered as a result....
...This is the official stance of the Attorney General of the United States, who has taken the unprecedented step of conducting -- in person, and around the world -- the investigation into this tinfoil hat conspiracy....
...But we should be reminded that...a number of people have been indicted and some are currently in prison...people who are close to the presidential Trump campaign team...furthermore...there are close indictment from the Mueller investigations which will be opened in 2021...
Not one person was indicted by Mueller on anything that had to do with the collusion with Russia that he was supposed to be investigating, instead he was busy charging people with process crimes and things they did before they even joined the Trump campaign. Isn't it absolutely FASCINATING to watch the media and liberals who repeatedly claimed any skepticism of the Mueller probe was a threat to the republic now claiming a criminal probe into federal government's spying and leak campaign against Trump is "political weaponization."?
...what about the details of the text messages exchanged between taylor and snodland before ans after the july 25 trump's phone call with zelensky - ukraine president...is that hearsay?...4 people with first-hand information / involvement have testified in congress...(volker, snodland, taylor and former amb to ukraine yovanovitch)...so far the information has been damning to trump...
Dude shut up and read your own link. What a really dumbfuck!!!
"Taylor's explosive testimony is likely to add fuel to Democrats' impeachment inquiry into Trump and Ukraine, with Democratic lawmakers leaving the closed door session before three House committees declaring Taylor's testimony was damning for the President. The testimony also undercuts White House assertions that there was no "quid pro quo" tying security assistance with the opening of an investigation, as Taylor says he was told repeatedly that the two were linked." Quid Pro quo...
his testimony was all hearsay!!! he wasn't there, he said someone else told him all that. That someone else has testified and he said he was just speculating when he said all that to him. It's all right there in the article. Read the full article and stop being lazy
Don't mind these lazy liberals they can never read for themselves, always waiting for the fake news media to feed them with garbage to come and vomit for us here.
gesundheit: Amb Williams Taylor testimony throw a grenade to all the trumpian crap.
You just allow the fake news to mess with your brain everytime, There was no grenade thrown in anything by his testimony. It was all hearsay. Amb. Bill Taylor testified that Amb. Gordon Sondland said Trump specifically wanted Ukraine to investigate Bidens in return for military assistance. but Sondland has already testified and per CNN,
"Asked about Taylor’s comments, a source familiar with Sondland’s testimony said that Sondland cited, in addition to the investigation, that the aid may have been frozen because the Europeans weren’t giving Ukraine enough and corruption in general. The source said Sondland was only speculating when he referenced the political investigations into the 2016 election and Burisma
“He made very clear in his testimony that nobody would give him a straight answer” about why the aid was being held up, the source said about Sondland’s testimony. Bill Taylor's testimony was hearsay and the person that told him all that said he was just speculating when he said that. Try reading the full article not just headlines. Lazy liberals
happney65: Breaking--Mulvaney confirms Ukraine aid was withheld in part over request to investigate Democrats, despite Trump’s denial of a quid pro quo
Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney acknowledged Thursday afternoon that the Trump administration held up U.S. military aid to Ukraine in part because of the president’s request for that country to investigate a Democratic National Committee server.
His comments, in a combative news briefing, came as Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, told House impeachment investigators that Trump urged him to work with the president’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani on matters related to Ukraine
Sondland was testifying behind closed doors about Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden at a time when nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine was being withheld.
Trump, meanwhile, is urging support for a House resolution to censure House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) for his handling of the impeachment inquiry.
● Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) tells Senate Republicans to be ready for an impeachment trial of Trump, which he expects to begin around Thanksgiving.
● Former adviser to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tells impeachment investigators that he was “disturbed” by attempts to enlist foreigners to hurt Trump’s political opponents.
● Sondland, a Trump envoy and a key figure in the impeachment probe, faces criticism over a $1 million taxpayer-funded home renovation.

1:45 p.m.: Mulvaney confirms Ukraine aid was held up in part due to Trump’s request to investigate DNC server
At a combative session in the White House briefing room, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney acknowledged Thursday that the Trump administration held up U.S. military aid to Ukraine in part because of the president’s request for that country to investigate a Democratic National Committee server.
Source---Washington Post
Fake news, the media deliberately misconstrued his remarks.
Mulvaney's words;
“Let me be clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election.The president never told me to withhold any money until the Ukrainians did anything related to the server.”
Republican presidential candidate and Trump challenger, former Rep. Mark Sanford (S.C.) formally kicked off his 2020 campaign on Wednesday in Philadelphia — and only one person showed up.
And someone on this Forum said this joker is a serious challenger to Trump while some others want the GOP to waste time and money holding a primary for these jokers.
Nope. That does not strip him of the power he has as president to request for the investigation of allegations of corruption, but when he resorts to a Mafia-Like Shakedown, its crime territory.
There was no Mafia-Like Shakedown in the call, there wasn't even any quid pro quo.
And who was making allegations against Joe and Hunter Biden? Did the Ukrainian government complain to Trump that Hunter Biden have a corruption case to answer in Ukraine? Was the whole allegation not raised solely by Guiliani and his associates? When did Rudy Gulianni become James Bond, that is mandated by his majesty to investigate criminals abroad? Is it the norm to ask foreign leaders to investigate US citizens as a favour even then no crime has been alleged against them and the person is a potential political rival (let's even forget the alleged quid pro quo for now). You mean to tell me Trump does not know the official channels to initiate crimes commited by US citizens abroad?
You're tying yourself into a knot, let me untie you a bit;
1. You said no crime has been alleged against Joe and Hunter Biden, at the same time you are saying Guiliani and his associates made allegations against them so you have already admitted that there are allegations against them. Rudy Gulianni is a US citizen and has a responsibility to report allegations of corruption if he finds any.
2. It is normal for Trump to ask for the assistance of Ukraine's president in the investigation of the allegations against Biden because of the ''United States Treaty With Ukraine On Mutual Legal Assistance In Criminal Matters'' signed in 1998.
3. Trump knows the official channels to initiate crimes commited by US citizens abroad is through the DOJ and that's why the phone conversation transcripts said he would ask the US attorney general to talk with the Ukraine President’s people and get to the root of the matter. The attorney general is the head of the DOJ.
Plantation Nigger? Look in the fucccking mirror. You have been parroting anti black America and pro white nationalist talking point and narrative for eons.
The rest of your nonsense is crap as usual and expected.
[/s] So shameful that i still have to be explaining the meaning of allegations to you at this stage. Simple English is no longer simple to Plantation niggers.
....this is more about the republican house members who are not interested in taking the vote... because they don't want to discuss the conduct of the president....all they want to discuss is the process by which the house should disclose the identity of the whistleblower(s)...however the house is moving forward with building a case of obstruction of congress against trump, the white house and various government departments...
...ultimately...there's nowhere in the constitution that states a vote is required before the impeachment process begins...
so it's no longer about Ukraine, it's now obstruction of congress? Mueller 2.0!! first it was collusion with Russia and when no collusion was found, they started shouting obstruction. They have started shifting the posts to obstruction again because they can't find any real charges to bring against Trump.
I know you are brainless but just pretend about your stupidty at times. What are the proof of any corruption from the Biden's? How far with the Trump promoting Trump hotels worldwide and the see nothing in the sudden grant of patents to Ivanka by China.
Plantation niggers really need to brush up on their comprehension skills. If there was proof, we would be talking about prosecution not Investigation and it would no longer be called allegations. they are still allegations hence the need to investigate and get the facts
And when asked if he has asked a foreign country if he had made that same request for another american he said "Emmmmm,We will look into it,cant remember now"...
so, what's your point does that strip him of the power he has as president to request for the investigation of allegations of corruption ?
White Nationalist worshipper, ,what's the whistleblower going to testify that was not in the rough transcript released by the white house? What's the whistle blower going to testify that is different from what the former ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, has not testified
What is the whistle blower going to testify again, when Trump and his personal lawyer have confirmed, they indeed pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate Hunter and Joe Biden?
And how is Trump's asking that allegations of corruption by Hunter and Joe Biden be investigated a crime? he has the power to do that as president.
You are a complete mooron and your kind should never be allowed to breed and affect the next generation with idiots. Plantation niggars? Rich coming from a perpetual arse licker of a white nationalist. You put the S in the word stupidity.
is there anything else you've got to offer apart from your childish ranting?
TheShopKeeper: ...graphic video played during a conference held by american priority, a pro-trump group, at trump national doral miami...although the white house have rejected the video as fake and did not condems its contents...
Liberals and their fake news media are the most hypocritical creatures on earth. Look at the amount of outrage they are showing over a meme video that hurt no one but they look the other way when people are actually being hurt in antifa attacks all around the country. These are videos of Trump supporters being assaulted by Liberals in Minnesota after Trump's rally there but the Liberal fake news media didn't even report it talk more of showing any outrage. When The hypocritical Liberals and media start condemning antifa then I'll take them serious. till then, they can take their hypocritical outrage over a meme and shove it up their butt
Elijah Schaffer (@ElijahSchaffer) Tweeted: Trump supporters outside the rally in Minnesota last night were routinely attacked by left wing activists w/out provocation
One man here who was peacefully observing the crowd was surrounded by protestors & assaulted for wearing a Trump hat
Elijah Schaffer (@ElijahSchaffer) Tweeted: Trump supporters are literally fleeing the event after it ended as protestors are waiting around attacking attendees as they leave the arena
