Ambassador Taylor's testimony is very devastating to Trump, and contains new facts. Wow.
There's so much, but I'd flag a few things:
1) Remarkable new exchange where Sondland told Taylor staffer that "Trump cares more about the investigations of Biden." Sondland didn't mention any of this.
2) Fills in details of 9/1 text echanges, where Taylor asked Sondland ...
"Are we now saying that security assistance and WH meeting are conditioned on investigations?" Sondland Answer "Call me." We now know what they talked about on phone. P.14. "Sondland told me he now recognized he made a mistake ...
by earlier telling me that only a WH meeting w/Zelensky was dependent on a public announcement of investigations-in fact, Sondland said "EVERYTHING" was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance. He said Trump wanted Zelensky in a 'public box'...
3) Bolton is all over this, at key meetings, as Taylor says. It is now unthinkable that Bolton does not testify. It would be the gravest breach of the public trust not to block this key witness from telling the truth to the American people.
