Congressional testimony from the former top American envoy to Ukraine directly contradicts the impeachment narrative offered by congressional Democrats and their media allies. Ambassador Kurt Volker, who served for two years as the top U.S. diplomatic envoy to Ukraine, testified on Thursday that he was never aware of and never took part in any effort to push the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden or his son Hunter. He also stressed that the interactions between Giuliani and Ukrainian officials were facilitated not to find dirt on Biden, but to assuage concerns that the incoming Ukrainian government would not be able to get a handle on corruption within the country.
As you will see from the extensive text messages I am providing, which convey a sense of real-time dialogue with several different actors, Vice President Biden was never a topic of discussion during negotiations with Ukraine, Volker testified. Cherry-picked snippets of those texts were released by the office of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., late Thursday evening.

Volker said that an advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Volker to connect the advisor to Rudy Giuliani, a personal attorney for President Donald Trump.

Did someone leak this or did Schiff release it.
I am constantly confused about all the machinations on this
Not sure. The link is his 11-page opening statement .
It’s his official statement, not his testimony to the committee, though I imagine multiples copies of this were handed out at the hearing.
He also stressed that the interactions between Giuliani and Ukrainian officials were facilitated not to find dirt on Biden, ....

For the 110th time, legitimate evidence of crime (not fake evidence or evidence of embarrassing things that are not crimes) is not “dirt”.

The media isn’t telling the truth about this.
There is a distinction but if his testimony was right, it should correlate to the opening statement.
Stop counting his lies. Everything he says is a lie. Call me when he says one word of truth. He’s full of Schiff.
