POTUS continues to lie and mislead about the testimonies of diplomats Bill Taylor and George Kent.

At a rally in Louisiana, he just said: “How about when they asked these two ‘Never Trumpers’ what exactly do you think you impeach him for? And they stood there like, what?” 1/
2/ It’s true that Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Tx — perhaps demonstrating why the GOP-controlled Senate conveyed to the WH that they wouldn’t confirm him as DNI — asked them: "Are either of you here today to assert there was an impeachable offense in that call? Shout it out. Anyone?”
3/ And, yes, neither weighed in on impeachment.

That’s because they were there as fact witnesses, not pro-impeachment voices or legal analysts.

The question was nonsensical and citing it as evidence is mendacious.
4/ Said Taylor: "I would just like to say that I am not here to do anything having to do with – to decide about impeachment. That is not what either of us are here to do. This is your job."
5/ Moreover there is zero evidence that either of these Trump administration officials are “Never Trumpers.”

Indeed, they work for his administration.
