Bill Taylor said:
"AS I SAID ON THE PHONE, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign."
So there were other discussions of the military aid/quid pro quo we still need to know about:

One other thing: Taylor and Sondland spoke the day before. Taylor then texted:
"The nightmare is they give the interview and don't get the security assistance. The Russians love it."

One interpretation, then, is that Taylor and Sondland argued on the phone over the fact that the military aid was conditioned.
The next day, Taylor reiterated his concerns, stressing that the aid was the prize for political help.
