Donald Trump called a key ally in July for an update on efforts to push Ukraine to investigate his Democratic adversaries, a witness in the House’s impeachment inquiry revealed Wednesday.
The existence of the call — relayed by William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, during the first public hearing since the inquiry began — delivered Democrats an explosive new detail and allegedly showed the depth of Trump’s obsession with the Bidens’ and his involvement in an effort to exploit a U.S. ally at war with Russia, all in order to boost his 2020 reelection campaign.
As the hearing unfolded, Democrats repeatedly tied Trump's effort to life-and-death questions about whether the president's handling of Ukraine endangered not just the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, but also U.S. national security. Their goal: to persuade Americans that Trump abused his power and committed offenses that can only be remedied by impeachment and removal from office.

Such a bombshell that everyone who had not fallen asleep watching that snooze fest took the time to tell cameras how outraged they were.

The best defense GOP had was the witnesses today weren’t on the phone call. Well that happens when WH refuses to allow witnesses with firsthand knowledge to testify, defying subpoenas. How hard is it to allow them to testify under oath that everything Trump is being accused of isn’t true unless that isn’t the case. Wonder if Jordan and Nunes plan to accuse LTC Vindman of being a traitor, a Ukraine spy trying to undermine the president. I mean he was on the call and will be testifying.
Yeah GOP doesn’t even want the official transcript released. Lets think about that.
