Nunes just went scorched earth on Schiff in his opening statement.

If Schiff's threat of ethics violation is true, Nunes mentioned both Bidens multiple times and what they were doing in the Ukraine, as well as Chalupa, and meddling in the 2016 election. It was a pretty good opening statement.

Taylor and Kent both just made their false sense of power public.

Both Taylor and Kent used the term "Formulating US Policy in the Ukraine"

Neither Kent nor Taylor formulate anything. Their job is to implement US policy that the @POTUS formulates, not them.

That's the problem with these career bureaucrats, they think they are in charge. They don't make ANY policy, they do as they are told or resign their post if they disagree. Being a bureaucrat in the state dept is similar to being in the military, follow orders.

Why are all these fuckng bureaucrats using WhatsApp for official business. @realDonaldTrump this needs to stop. We pay good money for secure communications, so there is NO reason for official business to be using a third party app owned by FACEBOOK!

In the military if you are caught using third party apps or off net communications for official business you will be court martialed, it should be no different for these bureaucrats.

Did Taylor say Yanukovych was leaning towards the Western policy and that it rattle Putin and he tried to bribe Yanukovych that eventually ended up ending his tenure? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, is that right? That makes no sense to what has been said in the past.

Taylor who gives a shit how many channels and/or who they are as long as the Executive branch is involved in all of them. Not everyone is going to like it, but it doesn't make it "illegal". This part of the inquiry is all about the "deep state" holding on to their power.

As has been said a million times, you don't want to know how the sausage is made. It's not pretty but the finished product is great.

Taylor when the regular channels disobey policy initiative, make their own policy, and attempt to resist, this is how the POTUS reacts you POS

Both Kent & Taylor believe their own shit doesn't stink. They both believe that they are in charge of US foreign policy with Ukraine, & now they are finding out that may have been the way of the past but it's not anymore. YOU SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF THE POTUS you pompous asses

Schiff if the Russians monitor the USAID to the Ukraine so closely, how in the hell do you think the felt about truck loads of MRE's and pillows to pencilneck prick?

Idiot Schiff framing this desperation for USAID is BS, they are acting like a 2 week or 2 month delay in USAID had a major impact on what is going on in the battlefield today. If they needed aid right now, Ukraine would have had to ask for it in 2015 for it to arrive today.

ONCE AGAIN Taylor thinks he is in charge of US foreign policy to Ukraine. It's clear as a bell he thinks that the foreign diplomats make foreign policy. He is a lying POS and seditious traitor. He's full of second hand BS, and using off the net WhatsApp crap is an issue.

"It's my understanding by what I was told"

"I heard from people who were there"

Now this asshole Goldman is having to lead the witness and remind him of what he testified to earlier. If it's the truth he shouldn't have to be reminded of what he said before.

Taylor is testifying he strongly disagreed with President Trump's views and approach involving Ukraine, and that he is appalled & upset he was sometimes left out of the loop. SO WHAT, you are on a need to know basis you pompous prick

SO Goldman is trying to make a point of that there were conditions being set forth to have a White House meeting with Zelensky. STOP RIGHT THERE

For 3 years these bureaucrats have bitched and raised hell every time Trump has a meeting WITHOUT preexisting conditions

Kent is full of shit the Ukraine created false evidence, and the black ledger, solely because Alexandra Chalupa asked them to and gave it to the DNC and the Hillary campaign.

The Kent what asked about Biden bragging about getting the prosecutor fired and if there was any factual basis for that statement by Trump, he answers there was no factual basis for that statement? WTF is this you prick

Hey @DevinNunes Schiff said earlier he doesn't know the whistleblower. Y'all need to say Eric Ciaramello name and when Schiff gets torqued up then counter back "I thought you didn't know the name of the whistleblower"!

This is hilarious

. @DevinNunes y'all need to que up the video of Biden threatening to withhold a billion dollars in loan guarantees unless a member of Poroshenko's government was fired and ask Kent if Biden was following the official U.S. foreign policy when he did that!!

GO Johnny GO @RepRatcliffe just sent a shot across the bow of Schiff and let him know what is coming if he starts this bullshit.

So Taylor just said he has no idea what the proper way to follow the Treaty with Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters? What the hell man, you are the Ambassador

William Taylor is turning into a stammering idiot just like Mueller.

The phone call transcript is killing Taylor and this idiot Kent.

Castor is fixing to Castrate Kent just watch.

Here comes the Biden element

Biden's feet should be warming up

Castor set Taylor up perfectly.

"Why didn't you ask about the perceived problem at the time, if indeed you did perceive a problem?"

You could literally see Taylor's brain lock up

Taylor openly admitted he was ok with the back channel as long as it accomplished what he wanted.

Who gives a damn what you want, it's what the POTUS wants because he sets policy.

Sound like Kent agrees investigations into corruption involving Burisma and former Ukrainian prosecutors are legitimate.

Jordan is killing Taylor

So Yovanovitch was removed because of a smear campaign?

The left is amazing to say a 60 day delay in military aid hurt Ukraine cause all these deaths, and is a danger to US National Security and in two years of Obama not sending any lethal military aid and sent MRE's and bed linens didn't to shit. These clowns are unbelievable.

Denny Heck still thinks Yovanovitch makes foreign policy and not the sitting POTUS. Heck is a DUMBASS.

You job is to implement the current sitting POTUS foreign policy, not what the longstanding or past administrations policies were. Damn bureaucrats.

"Hearsay can be much better evidence than direct."

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT

This is the entire base of their impeachment

WTF is that stupid grin about???

So Taylor only contacted Pompeo after Bolton told him to? After all his goddamn concerns and that is first time that he ever said he ever contacted Pompeo? Pompeo should fire his ass on the spot

. @Jim_Jordan was on top of his game today!

WAIT!!!!

Taylor's only concern on the call was the talk about the previous Ambassador Yovanovitch????

LOL oh my gosh.

So all this testimony today all boils down to Taylor & Kent, heard some rumors & are pissed off that Rudy got in their territory & agreed on a phone call that one of their friends wasn't 100% on board with the President of Ukraine (Zelinsky's own words) and Trump removed her.

I still cannot believe this idot made this outlandish comment on hearsay evidence. No one has ever been convicted on strictly hearsay, there is always corroborative evidence, this is BS

I'd love to see a conviction withstand appeal based on strictly hearsay.

These two witnesses are concerned with only their policy views & believe that they are experts on all things Ukraine & that only the way they think things should be handled is appropriate. They believe they know what is better for the Ukrainian people than the Zelensky & Trump.

Chris Wallace carrying water for the dems praising Goldman's questioning, well guess why. Andrew Wallace his oldest son is best friends with Daniel Goldman who by the way is a mouthpiece for MSNBC as well. Chris Wallace is a democrat hack, voted for Hillary and is still pissed.

46 Payments to Hunter Biden from Burisma Holdings, 38 Payments were for $83,333 Totaling Over $3.1 Million

@Jim_Jordan nothing to see here...

This is just from November 2014 to November 2015. Hunter Biden was on this Board from 2014 to 2019 so there is likely more coming.

Now according to Oleksandr Onyshchenko said Hunter Biden was receiving “off the books” payments from Burisma in the millions. So we will see if they dig out more of this crap.

Here is a key moment that completely deflates all this horror and desperation that Schiff and the left have been making over this 55 day delay in approving the funding.

I mentioned it before in this thread, the government moves at a snail's pace, here Taylor and Kent say it

"It takes a year to get shipments from money allotted for aid."

Kent says "a year lag time"

"Just the other day we got two ships in the Port of Odessa with Aid from 2018 budgets."

So all this bullshit about putting people in harm's way, and lives being lost is all the BS
