Democrats are hailing testimony from senior State Department official Bill Taylor on Tuesday as their smoking gun to prove that President Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine unless they investigated former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
Rep. Lacy Clay (D-MO) tweeted, I was in the room. Jaws dropped, heads shook in disbelief, this president and his enablers willfully put #NationalSecurity at risk to benefit his political campaign. This wasnt just a smoking gun, it was a smoking cannon.
Rep. Andy Levin (D-MI) told reporters it was his most disturbing day in the Congress so far.
However, Republicans said Taylor, the top U.S. official at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, produced no smoking gun and only recounted hearsay.
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), who is on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and was present for Taylors interview, told Breitbart News on Wednesday that Taylor had no direct knowledge of any alleged quid pro quo.

DJT is just trying to do Biden a favor. Old Joe doesn’t know enough to get out of the way, and DJT is simply getting Biden to exit as early as possible.
How many other 15-page opinions has Bill Taylor written?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
Anything goes with the Progressives. Somebody has to blow up the narrative they are trying/continuing to create
Any “news” story that states pressure was applied to get Ukraine to investigate Biden, but avoids mentioning Crowdstrike, is propaganda.
Assuming that this goes to trial in the senate, I have two questions- do the rules of evidence apply? i.e. is hearsay admissible? And two, can the senators talk about it and/or campaign while the trial is going on? The guy subbing for Sean Hannity today says that all these senators who are campaigning to be president have to stop campaigning and sit as the jury six days a week all day.

So if it is all so jaw-dropping, why is the testimony being given in secret?
Taylor is a Schiff coached Obama hack hold over & we all know it. The question is: are Mitch and the rest of the Rinos Hoping for enough cover to execute their fantasy and hand the crown to Pence?
Were going to impeach him!!!
Impeach him for what? What are the charges?!
Heard it from a friend who,
Heard it from a friend who,
Heard it from a friend who,
Heard from someone you been negotiating agreements!
Impeach cried the demosRAT idiot!!
Senior State Department official = As Deep State as it gets, an enemy of the American people.
Having read Taylor’s putative testimony, no choice but to concur with the Repubbies’ assessment.
Hearsay, from unnamed sources, and more of the same Dem strategy.
Scream “We’ve definitely got evidence now!!” again & again until enough suckers believe it.
That’s the democrat way. Similar to their fake hate crimes... The fake story gets a BIG run in the corrupt press - and the apology or correction gets three lines on the bottom of page 4... Shame on the press...
