Rep Ratcliffe back up.
"So no pressure, no demands, no conditions, nothing corrupt. Nothing. Nothing on the call. That's what we heard Zelensky say."

Note - We still havent seen the full transcript of the call.
Ratclifffe: Now we're hearing if he didn't lie, he couldn't possibly risk military aid, he'd do anything to secure it. The hole in that argument: what did Zelensky actually do to get the aid? He did nothing. He didn't open any investigations, didn't call AG Barr.
Rep Speier notes how Taylor earlier discussed that a WH mtg would boost Zelensky's ability to negotiate w/Russia.
Speier: Zelensky still hasn't had that meeting. Yet Lev Parnas had a meeting in WH after participating in campaign events.

@CourthouseNews @KlasfeldReports And away we go.
@CourthouseNews @KlasfeldReports House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff is running down the basics before opening remarks - there will be decorum, he says.

In 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine, he says, to fulfill Putin's desire to rebuild the Russian empire.

NEW via NYT: Citing 4 sources familiar w/discussions, Trump is reportedly weighing whether he should fire IC Inspector General Mike Atkinson because he reported the WB complaint. nytimes.com/2019/11/12/us/…
If the reporting is indeed true, that means Trump has learned absolutely nothing about his experience with James Comey and genuinely believes the optics here reflect strength.
I realize the above statement is obvious. I rarely do this - make a really obvious statement on Twitter just to drive a point home- but I genuinely feel the need to underline how patently backwards the approach is here if what you're trying to do is ALLEVIATE suspicion.

The focus is to distract American's from what Obama's administration did in February 2014 when Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovych's government was overthrown for....Corruption. There were consequences for Obama's failure to deal with Russia's invasion of Crimea
Of course there was no pressure Mr President. They can't allow you to investigate the corruption, because American's will learn the extent of global money laundering. The democrats (some GOPe too) used USAID and CFPB as personal piggy banks.

Mr President not only should the Bidens testify, but many more should be investigated. #Ukraine was only a small part of the culture of corruption these bureaucrats have been running. Mr Nunes and the Republican's have a good starter list.

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:

Defying a Pentagon directive not to testify and outlasting the SCIF stunt, Laura Cooper — the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia — testified for more than three hours yesterday. politico.com/news/2019/10/2…
From what I've heard, her testimony confirmed a lot of what other witnesses have told House investigators:

1. There was unanimous support from Trump's Cabinet and the interagency to supply Ukraine with security assistance. But the White House withheld it anyway.
2. Providing security assistance to Ukraine is in the interests of the United States. Withholding it is not.

Celeste Wallander (NOT Wallender, as written in the BuzzFeed lawsuit) is a member of the Council On Foreign Relations.

cfr.org/membership-ros…
Wallander and Michael Daniel wanted to strike back against Russia in 2016 and drafted aggressive responses, with Wallander suggesting they target Putin himself and leak classified intelligence of Putin's daughters' Latvian bank accounts.

motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
This led to Susan Rice telling Michael Daniel to "stand down" in late August 2016.
