Bill Taylor: "I sensed something odd when Sondland told me he did not wish to include most of the regular interagency participants on a planned call Jun 28 with President Zelensky [Volker and Perry] ... [and] he wanted to make sure no one was transcribing or monitoring the call."
Bill Taylor: Sondland said the security assistance money would not come until Zelensky committed to pursue the Burisma investigation … [On a Sep 1] I told Sondland that Trump should have more respect for another head of state.
Bill Taylor: Trump told Sondland on a Sep 7 call that he wasn't asking for a ‘quid pro quo’ but Zelensky better “go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of Biden and the 2016 US election, and Zelensky should do it himself [or no US aid].”

Straight up mob speak.
Bill Taylor: Sondland told Zelensky that if he did not “clear things up” in public [that he'd investigate Bidens and 2016 election], they would be at a “stalemate” [no US aid]. Zelensky then agreed to make a public statement on CNN.

Mob shakedown.
