Bannon told the FBI that Ivanka and Jared vacationed in Croatia with a “Russian billionaire” in Aug 2016 –– confirming a long-denied connection between Trump world and a Russian oligarch.

Jul 2017 emails reveal that Bannon and Brietbart planned to use the info against Kushner.
Mueller Report Secret Memos [302s]: Manafort was pushing the unfounded conspiracy theory—now part of the Trump impeachment inquiry—that Ukraine hacked the DNC's emails as early as 2016.

State Dept officials Catherine Croft and Christopher Anderson will describe to investigators the unusual intrusion into US foreign policy by Trump cronies, including his lawyer Giuliani and former GOP congressman turned lobbyist Robert Livingston.
#Maddow
Croft learned of Trump's effort to withhold military aid to Ukraine prior to July 18, when it was officially revealed to agency officials.

“The only reason given [to withhold the aid] was that the order came at the direction of the president.”

It's astonishing when you look at how many people have stepped forward -- defying the White House & complying w/ congressional subpoenas -- to tell what they know about Trump, Ukraine & a quid pro quo (weapons to fight Russia for an investigation into Biden).

A running list:
Marie Yovanovitch,the US ambassador to Ukraine who was prematurely forced out because Trump & Giuliani thought she stood in the way of their agenda:

The former US special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker, who had to resign amidst the scandal:

Firtash happens to have a long-standing beef w/ Biden.

Vindman told House investigators that a WH meeting AND nearly $400 million in security and military aid was “contingent” on Ukrainian officials carrying out multiple investigations, including into Burisma, the Bidens, the 2016 election and Crowd Strike.
