Bill Taylor dropped a bombshell in his impeachment hearing opening statement

The aid was held up for a few days. In spite of the fact that such delays are normal and in spite of the fact that Obama never sent Ukraine military aid like that Schitff has managed to promote his assumption that the delay must have been because of some evil plot by Trump. What a dummass partisan hack.

Do you support Trump complying with subpoenas by allowing White House officials with first-hand knowledge of the events to testify under oath and submitting to Congress the documents Congress requested?

So long as the subpoenas are coming out for such underhanded reason, I don't disagree with him fighting against them. Where it that the democrats could be better trusted in this instance, then I'd have an issue.
 
NOPE. It's because the bully POTUS has threatened the whistleblower, called him derogatory names, and tried to demean/dismiss his love and concern for the USA's national security....try again with some factual material.

The reason the democrats are now refusing to allow the whistleblower to testify is because they fear his hateful opinions about Trump may force Trump to express hateful opinions about him?

Maybe if comrade Committee Party Chairmann Herr Schittf would begin to conduct his kangaroo show trial in accordance with standard legal practices then Trump might be better persuaded to waste more of his time cooperating with the democrat bozos like he did for 3 years with Herr Mueller and his team of democrat savages.
 
It does not change the relevant fact that the phone call did take place and that aid was delayed. It is out in the open and it makes zero difference who or why brought it to light. Guilt does not depend on who discovers that crime or why.

The aid was given and it followed traditional processes which took a little time, but not too much. Also, Trump made calls to Ukraine to discuss a number of things he was right to discuss. Only a moron would try to claim the two facts are related to or dependent upon each other.
 
LOL! They've been quite open about that. He contacted Schiff's staff and his staff followed the letter of the law: they advised him to immediately retain councel.

Why do you hate the rule of law?

I support the rule of law, unlike shifty Schittf and his lawless band of impeachment circus clowns.
 
Your moronic lies do not change the facts. Trump extorted and held up the aid. Let me know when you can muster enough intellect and integrity to address the relevant facts.

Trump talked with Putin. Trump talked with the Ukrainian president. Flynn talked with a Russian as part of his job. Schittf talked with Trump-hating democrat operatives within the Trump administration to concoct a scheme to frame Trump for a crime he did not commit. Trump OK'd aid to Ukraine which took very little time to be approved for release.

We know a whole lot of things have been going on in Trump's world. It takes a blithering idiot to try to say all of these things and more are part of some large scale crooked conspiracy on Trump's part, especially since the only evidence consists of rumors, innuendo, opinion and hearsay.
 
The reason the democrats are now refusing to allow the whistleblower to testify is because they fear his hateful opinions about Trump may force Trump to express hateful opinions about him?

NOPE. Trump has threatened and law says he/she is to be protected from threats. Trump is on record as advocating for violence against what he perceives to be enemies. You would know that if you've watched his hate rallies.
 
He said a member of his staff gave an account of a previously unknown Trump phone call.

This call took place on July 26, the day after Trump’s now-infamous phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Taylor’s staff member told him that Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland had called Trump on the phone from a restaurant; the staffer was present for that call. During the call, the staffer heard Trump asked Sondland about “the investigations,” and Sondland replied that the Ukrainians were ready to move forward.

“Following the call with President Trump, the member of my staff asked Ambassador Sondland what President Trump thought about Ukraine,” Taylor said. “Ambassador Sondland responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden, which Giuliani was pressing for.”

Looks like a pretty good day for Trump yesterday that you radicals will ignore

Stewart: "I would now feel compelled to ask you, Madam Ambassador, as you sit here before us, very simply and directly, do you have any information regarding the president of the United States accepting any bribes?"

Yovanovitch: "No."

Stewart: "Do you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with at all?"

Yovanovitch: "No."

Stewart thanked Yovanovitch before predicting that public support for impeachment would decrease after the hearings.

"The American people know this is nonsense," Stewart said. "The American people know this is unfair."

Both the White House and some top Republicans reacted to the exchange, saying it proved their argument that the impeachment inquiry was without merit.

"In 30 seconds," a White House message on Twitter read, "@RepChrisStewart got the answers that House democrats have spent 7 hours trying to avoid.
"7 hours that Congress could've spent working for you--on drug price legislation, USMCA, immigration reform, or infrastructure--instead of for their own political careers."
 
It's still hearsay. Its someone under oath repeating second information and the Democrats know it. It's why they tracked down Vindman, who was on the call and had him testify
Vindman claimed the WH edited the transcript, but Tim Morrison, who was also on the call testified that the transcript was accurate and he wasn't concerned that anything illegal was happening.

So who's lying ? Vindman also testified that large amounts of Javelin missile's were shipped to Ukraine by the Obama administration.

That's a LIE.

Its sworn testimony. Typically the underlings are more honest.

This is not looking good for djt.

Yeah, that's not why yavanovitch was testifying but you missed the point.

Also, sorry, but the Republicans have blocked all meaningful "for the american people" legislation, so saying they're better served being 'at work for us' doesnt hold water.

Why don't you post the "meaningful legislation" that the Republicans have blocked? You easily buy what you are told but when challenged run as usual

You said "I never said Trump explicitly stated in the transcript that he was seeking help for 2020."
This is no time to retract it. Much too late. No one will believe you anymore. Let it go before you make it worse for yourself.
When I say:

I'll keep making the same point, the transcript clearly shows Trumps solicitation and bribery violations and shows his effort to smear Joe, his top political rival.


it is not contradicted by:

I never said Trump explicitly stated in the transcript that he was seeking help for 2020.


As I said before, a criminal is not going to express his intention every time he commits a crime. It is an absurd point to hold to, and it doesn't change the fact that he is committing crimes. You are not defending his criminal actions, your ridiculous argument remains that it is not criminal because he has not admitted his intent.
 
Let me see if I understand your point. If Biden holds up aid and expresses a clear threat in connection with the hold he is doing America proud, but if Trump does it he needs to be put out of office and into prison? Do democrats even see a problem with their logic here?

The two incidents are not remotely the same -- but any similarities they possess have been exploited by Lyin' Donald and the radical right-wing fake-news media to (yet again) trick his ignorant base.

Trump Twists Facts on Biden and Ukraine - FactCheck.org

Joe Biden was acting in coordination and with the best interests of the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations and every single free and democratic nation on the face of the earth for the betterment of mankind while Crooked Donald Trump was acting on behalf of himself, for his own personal gain.

Aren't you tired of getting your ass kicked up-and-down this website yet? It has to be exhausting to fail so often in your ridiculous attempt to defend an entitled, crooked, reality-TV idiot who was never fit for this office - don't you have an ounce of self-respect?

:shock:

Not looking good for DJT ? No one gives a rats ass about this impeachment process and no one is watching the hearings and the Democrats and the MSM know it

In a desperate attempt to get people's attention and sway public opinion in their favor, Democrats have resorted to using buzz words like " extortion " and " bribery ", but all they've managed to do is piss people off.

American's know a show trial when they see one, and they don't appreciate being lied to and having their intelligence insulted by a bunch of corrupt Democrats

The Democrats problem is they are convinced that the average American is a raging moron. It's why every scheme they come up is less believable than the last, and why they alll seem to wind up blowing up in their faces.
Using Taylor as their star witness is a great example.

" 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. "

That pretty much sums up the last 3 years of Democrats efforts to take down Trump. No wonder why no one's watching this clown show.

Here's your problem, that little document called the Constitution where in this country EVERY American has Freedom of Speech and Every American is innocent until PROVEN Guilty. Interesting how politicians always motivate radicals when they support the radical issues and anyone from the outside that attacks those interest has to be destroyed. Trump is an outsider and that drives people like you who want the status quo and liberal social engineering on a national basis to be the policies of the gov't. Trump has implemented policies that benefit the American people and you want to ignore those results
 
when is Bill Taylor's bombshell gonna go off?

Bill WHO?.....Marie will be forgotten by Monday.

The swamp is getting exposed for the ridiculous reckless manner TDS has infected the Democratic party. Dems have become party of impeachment....5 of 6 since IKE LINK

These results?

Looks to me like he destroyed Obama's boom.

Maybe we should ask the laid off manufacturing workers and the farmers who are losing their farms about these "results."

Well, it's a good thing we now have 14+ witnesses who've testified and largely corroborated various aspects of the allegation, a confession by Mulvaney, and a call transcript indicating a thorough investigation by the House is warranted.

Oh, and now we now have direct evidence of Taylor's testimony concerning Sondland's call to Trump:

You are being disingenuous because I know about 2 to 3 days ago you said there shouldn't be any investigation at all, whether open or closed.

You don't care what Trump did. Just be honest and say you don't care if Trump abused the office of the President like some two-bit crook.
