Ambassador William Taylor’s testimony to House investigators on Tuesday didn’t answer every question about the Ukraine scandal, but it answered the big one: Will President Donald Trump be impeached?
Impeachment is now effectively inevitable. Taylor’s testimony fleshed out the biggest open questions, including whether there was a quid pro quo with Ukraine (there was), what it involved (military aid), and what Trump wanted (investigations of the Biden family and the 2016 election.) Congress has now heard from career civil servants and from political appointees, all telling a similar story, and Taylor removed the last scintilla of doubt. With that, it’s all but impossible to imagine a scenario in which House Democrats don’t vote to impeach the president.

Adam Schiff Staffer Met with Impeachment Witness on Ukraine Trip....
Details emerge that Schiff's activities are assisting the 2020 Democrat front-runner.....Joe Biden.
BACKSTORY Adam Schiff’s signature appears on the required post-travel disclosure form filed with the House Committee on Ethics documenting his staffer's visit to Ukraine. The form signed by Schiff says that Eager’s trip to Ukraine was paid for by the “Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center.”
NOTE: U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, a key witness for Democrats pursuing impeachment
(served for nine years as senior advisor to U.S.-Ukraine Business Council), which has co-hosted scores of events with the Atlantic Council.
The Atlantic Council is funded by and works in partnership with Burisma, the natural gas company at the center of allegations regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
The form bearing Schiff’s signature (above) describes the visit thusly: Series of meetings and visits with gov’t officials, party officials, civil society and private sector reps in Ukraine to learn about ongoing political and military issues, including conflict in the East.
The costs for Eager’s visit listed on the form are $2202.91 for transportation, $985.50 for lodging, and $630.15 for meal expenses.
Breitbart News reported that Eager started his one-year fellowship with the organization in January and that Eager is still a fellow......the pre-planned trip was part of the fellowship program, which also includes a full year of round tables and other educational events.....with funding from Burisma and/or other Ukranian donors.

The most likely scenario is a damning report by Schiff’s committee that is made public and referred to the House Judiciary Committee for evaluation. The Judiciary Committee will then find that the case for impeachment is compelling but will be deferred in favor of letting the American people decide if Trump should be reelected. A vote by the House will endorse that recommendation.

It was inevitable on November 6th of 2018. All that's happened is the the Rats think they've found something that they can actually sell to voters.

Where is the evidence for David Graham's assertions ? It is a secret (Star Chamber) proceeding.

Quid pro quo is neither illegal, nor necessarily unethical. It would only be unethical if the requestor was either a) asking the other party to do something unethical, or b) refusing to provide what the other party would be getting in return is unethical. None of those conditions apply in this case.

The Atlantic is a liberal rag that promotes lies for the Democrats.
It’s their standard fare.
