@riotwomennn "As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign," Bill Taylor [US Embassy in Ukraine] said in a text to US Ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland [who donated $1M to Trump's inaugural].

@riotwomennn .@ChrisMurphyCT: "Bill Taylor is a West Point grad, Vietnam vet, career public servant, and our chief diplomat in Ukraine and an expert on the country.

If Taylor believes the aid [to Ukraine] was withheld to get the interference, that’s big news."
