But I thought Ukraine corruption absolutely had to be investigated before the funds could be released. Why did Trump drop that requirement all of the sudden?
That would be firsthand technically since they were listening to the call but still first level hearsay since they were not a party to the conversation.
So what? The prez of Ukraine also thought he wasn’t under pressure to hold an investigation. But Taylor heard it from someone who heard it from someone that the prez of Ukraine was indeed under pressure to hold an investigation…and Taylor was in Vietnam.
The Prez of Ukraine has therefore been proven to be a liar, and in the interests of better relations and to bring peace in Ukraine, Democrats are going to call him out.
Wouldn’t if be great if you could just say “not true” and all the facts went away?
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sat beside President Donald Trump on Wednesday as he denied that Trump pressured him to investigate former Vice President and current 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son for his work in the country.”
Well that guy certainly has no reason to lie about it, like just hypothetically needing tons of money from us to ensure the very survival of his country.
Taylor had not reason to lie either, just that he felt that he was being pushed aside, was no longer in the loop or relevant in Ukraine after all the years of dedication and it was all on Donald Trump.
So I guess we have two people who have no reason to lie. One with direct knowledge and one with a lot of rumors and gossip.
What gets me is how Trump made Hillary’s mishandling of sensitive material a cornerstone of his campaign. So Trump supporters, where is your outrage now?
