This is very bad for Democrats' impeachment case. Yermak, only Ukrainian official *thought* to have been told of military aid-Biden investigation linkage (by Sondland), says he doesn't even remember that coming up & that he never saw such linkage. time.com/5746417/ukrain… 
As Time notes, Sondland-Yermak interaction is "the only known point at which an American official directly tells the Ukrainians about the link between U.S. aid and the announcement of specific investigations." Key word is "known" -- here is Yermak undermining its importance.
Yermak also says that no one from the impeachment committees, or any US official, has contacted him to seek his testimony. I wonder why? I've been trying to contact him for over a month, because his testimony was so crucial, as I wrote about in The Nation: thenation.com/article/trump-…
