BREAKING: CBS News is reporting that Tim Morrison, the National Security Council's Senior Director for European Affairs, testified before Congress on Thursday that he heard nothing illegal on the phone call between President Donald J.

Morrison also testified that the memorandum of the call released by the White House is accurate to his recollection and he does not know the WB's identity. Story soon.
The Federalist is also reporting this according to transcripts obtained by the outlet.
“I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison testified today, according to Sean Davis.
"My recollection is that Ambassador Sondland’s proposal to [Ukrainian National Security Advisor Andriy] Yermak was that it could be sufficient if the new Ukrainian prosecutor general — not President Zelensky — would commit to pursue the Burisma investigation, Morrison testified according to the Federalist.
“I am pleased our process gave the president the confidence he needed to approve the release of the security sector assistance,” he added. “I am proud of what I have been able, in some small way, to help the Trump administration accomplish."
After a government whistleblower came forward, Congressional Democrats accused President Trump of offering an illegal quid pro quo, pressuring the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in exchange for military aid. On Thursday, they voted to conduct an official impeachment inquiry into President Trump's actions.
This is a breaking news post and will be updated as needed.
CNN has learned that what was said was: “I want to be clear, I was concerned that everything illegal was discussed.”
Seems like a pretty big news story to me?
Partisan Chimpeachment. Let the Rat Monkeys continue to fling feces, at their own risk.
Why are all the treasonous and seditious members of the House of Representatives being allowed to get away with this insanity on the taxpayers' dime?
Why are they not being stopped from dismantling the Executive Branch of the government, and not being stopped from nullifying the results of a national election?
Have we all gone crazy?
Where are the adults?
Quid pro quos in foreign policy are standard operating procedure and not illegal as this article says. Why the heck else would we give foreign aid if not to influence behavior??!!!
You’re right, and the conservative media and Republicans had best start shouting that from the rooftops.
Dems whine we must have secret hearings and public hearings would let Trump coordinate responses or some BS excuse, then promptly leak what they want on a daily basis.
here is the opening statement
Here is the EXACT headline from my local newspaper:
“Ex-Trump adviser Morrison testifies to having concerns over Ukraine”
(which is exactly the opposite from what he reportedly said—pure leftist propaganda)
Exactly. Trump wasn’t asking for fake evidence or spying on Hunter about things that he had a right to be kept secret; he was asking them only to give us anything they had that might be evidence of crime.
Today she is basically saying,
"we have to impeach Trump so you can find out what he did wrong"
People are going to be soooo pissed off when this goes nowhere and they are played for fools again!
Trouble in Paradise.
Some will be upset others will say Trump got away with “it” again.
Thanks for linking.
OH WELL they can say whatever in the hell they want after EVERYTHING that Hellary got away with how dare they say ANYTHING about how Trump got away with a damn thing!!!!
Doesn’t matter. In the alternative universe inhabited by the Left, that first hand testimony takes second place to the accuser who did not hear the call. The accusation against Trump establishes superior credibility.
Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t have to rely on “reportedly?” It’s almost as though proceedings of such Constitutional import ought to be conducted in public.
