2. The same day, the top US diplomat in Ukraine, Bill Taylor was deposed

He said explicitly there was a quid pro quo for both the White House meeting AND the military aid

Taylor is not a Democrat. The Trump admin recruited him out of retirement in June

3. In November, Gordon Sondland, who was serving as U.S. ambassador to the EU, testified that there was a quid pro quo for the White House meeting and the military aid.

Sondland is a Republican fundraiser who donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural.
