Jordan: aid delayed 55 days.
you met with zelensky 3 times between july 18 and sept. 11.
no linkage btw security assistance and investigations of Burisma/Bidens.
Taylor: true of first two. third meeting there was discussion of security assistance.
Jordan says Taylor’s understandimg of linkage was wrong.
Taylor: as i testified, this came from Amb. Sondland.
amb. sondland said talked to zelensky and yermak, if z did not clear this up, we would be at a stalemate.
Jordan relying on Sondland amendment does not seem like it will turn out well

Among his changing explanations for ending Sahar N’s detail to policy planning early, Brian Hook told OIG he’d wanted to hire McInnis.1/
But McInnis told OIG he did not yet know Hook on April 7 2017, when Nowrouzzadeh’s detail was terminated. stateoig.gov/system/files/e…
“OIG concludes that Mr. Hook would not have ended the detail early without being prompted by others who..appear to have been motivated..” 3/

Trump got question from a Kurdish journalist.
says he thinks Erdogan has a great relationship w Kurds, just not certain factions.
Erdogan: we don’t have problem with the Kurds. have problem w the terrorists.
again, struck by how Trump seems to be delivering Erdogan’s talking points.

Rep. Maloney asking Amb. Taylor about his service in Vietnam.
July 26, went to front in Donbas, Ukrainian commander expressed appreciation for US assistance. Taylor felt badly, because he knew aid was being held
Maloney asking Taylor about classified cable he sent to Pompeo. Taylor says it said security assistance to Ukraine very important. Ukraine is important for our national security. Not to provide it would be folly.
establishes this is the only such cable Taylor ever sent in his fifty years of service.

Thread: Dissecting Marie Yovanovitch’s Disgraceful Opening Statement

1. I’m getting serious tired of watching the Democrats’ star chamber, as well as that lying Democrat majority counsel Daniel Goldman make false assumptions and lead witnesses.
2. But even before that SOB got started with his questioning, we had to suffer through perhaps the most disgraceful and rambling statement ever made by a former US ambassador. Innuendo, opinion and feelings. Barf! Let’s take a look at that in some detail.
3. In the analysis that follows, I will quote one of her statements preceded by a “Y”. My response will be preceded by a “C”. Here we go.

.@RepAdamSchiff closes his opening statement quoting Benjamin Franklin at the close of the Constitutional Convention, when asked what sort of country the US would be.

@RepAdamSchiff .@DevinNunes attacking Democrats' credibility and intentions in his opening statement.

Dismisses #impeachmenthearings as a "sham," a "televised theatrical performance," the "low rent Ukrainian sequel" to "the Russia hoax."

Also defends Pres. Trump's firing of Amb Yovanovitch.
@RepAdamSchiff @DevinNunes Who are George Kent and Bill Taylor, testifying in today's #ImpeachmentHearings ?

Schiff says how proceedings unfold will impact the “the future of the presidency itself” and what is the appropriate conduct of the commander-in-chief. He then details the role of Giuliani, the withholding of aid and denying a meeting with Zelensky as Trump sought probes
Schiff: “Some have argued in the President’s defense that the aid was ultimately released. That is true. But only after Congress began an investigation; only after the President’s lawyers learned of a whistleblower complaint; and only after“ lawmakers asked questions
Schiff leans in a bit further after detailing the actions on Ukraine: “Is that what Americans should now expect from their president? If this is not impeachable conduct, what is?”

@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.

(Thread) Bill Taylor’s devastating written statement to Congress.

It’s here: washingtonpost.com/context/openin…

OK, I'll tweet out my notes. I can't resist a cute kitty.

Here’s Taylor's statement, (hopefully) condensed into under 20 🔥 Tweets.
1/ May 28: Pompeo asked Taylor to lead the embassy in Ukraine.

June: Taylor arrived to find a “weird combination of encouraging, confusing, and ultimately alarming circumstances.”

Encouraging: The newly elected Zelenskyy supported long-stalled anti-corruption legislation . . .
2/. . .and appointed reformist ministers.

Confusing: “Two channels of U.S policy making and implementation, one regular and one highly irregular."

The regular channel was the embassy, overseeing US efforts to support Ukraine against Russian aggression & defeat corruption.

From Amb. Bill Taylor's opening statement:

In addition to normal policy-making, "there was an irregular, informal channel of U.S. policy-making with respect to Ukraine," that included Volker, Sondland, Perry and Giuliani. By August 'the channels diverged in their objectives."

1
2/ In June, Volker and Sondlad told Taylor that Trump "'wanted to hear from Zelenskyy' before scheduling the meeting in the Oval Office."

June 27: Sondland told him "Zelenskyy needed to make clear" that he "was not standing in the way of 'investigations.'"
3/June 28: Sondland told Taylor he didn't want to include most of the normal participants in a phone call with Zelenskyy.

Volker, Sondland, Perry and Taylor joined the call. Before patching Zelenskyy in, Sondland made sure no one was transcribing or monitoring.
