Hurd: No Ukrainian officials have told State Department 'they felt like their arms were being twisted'
Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that during the committee’s depositions of State Department officials, it had yet to hear from Ukrainian officials who believed there was a quid pro quo relating to aid to Ukraine.
“What we haven’t heard from any Ukrainian official that felt like there was this arrangement … we haven’t even had a Ukrainian official tell a state department official that they felt like their arms were being twisted,” Hurd, a former CIA officer, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Hurd added that in his experience in intelligence, if foreign officials “hear something, they’re going to go to their contacts at the embassy and say ‘what does that mean?’ and we haven’t gotten any whiff of that.”

Bump!
This is a retiring GOP member of Congress who is anti-Trump. These are not the answers CBS Slay the Nation was probably hoping for by bringing him on as the guest.
They had best not say their arms were twisted, lest we withhold aid. LOL.
