Former National Security Council staffer Fiona Hill has testified that acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney approved a quid-pro-quo in which President Trump would meet with his Ukranian counterpart if he first agreed to open investigations that would benefit Trump politically.
Hill’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee was released on Friday along with the testimony of NSC official Alexander Vindman.
“Ambassador [to the European Union Gordon] Sondland, in front of the Ukrainians…was talking about how he had an agreement with Chief of Staff Mulvaney for a meeting with the Ukrainians if they were going to go forward with investigations,” Hill told investigators.
House Democrats initiated their impeachment inquiry based on suspicions Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine to pressure the country to investigate Biden. In a July 25 phone conversation, Trump repeatedly urged Zelensky to investigate Biden, a little over a week after the White House withheld a military aid package marked for Ukraine.
However, Vindman, in his testimony, said Ukraine had no idea that military aid was being withheld at the time of the call. In his view, Ukrainian officials understood that they would have to open investigation into Biden in order to obtain a meeting between Zelensky and Trump.

Exactly. These people lie like they breathe. I don’t trust a single one of them. If they told me they were having a heart attack, I wouldn’t believe them until I saw an EKG.
And even then.

It’s hilariously obvious that these people are corrupt. ANY investigation into the swamp would benefit Trump politically. Does that mean he shouldn’t investigate the swamp? Here’s a novel idea, how about the swamp stop with their bribes and corrupt practices?!?
Only “excerpts” are being released, which means they have been doctored to say something they don’t.
A simple scan of Fiona Hill’s bio should have alerted any sentient Republican to her left wing (and certainly Democrat) proclivities. Whoever has been advising Trump on his foreign policy choices has done an incredibly lousy job.
Hearsay. 2nd hand news.
It is all they have because you can’t pull a direct witness out of your ass without having someone willing to commit perjury. Anybody can say anything about “hearsay”. In fact, I once heard Nancy Pelosi used to be a man. Gee, can I testify to Congress now?
“These jerks just won’t stop with their garbage.”
Why would they? What they are doing is accomplishing their goal, and there have been zero consequences.
This sh*t will keep going into the election.
Well duh! When we say we didn't do sumpn it means we did. When we say they did x it means we did x.
So it is just logical that when Trump denies something he admits it and when he says someone else did something it means he is the one who is projecting - you know like when he accuses Antifa of bashing heads it means that fascist Nazi Trump is out bashing heads - which we all know he is doing.
See. That's logic and we dims has a whole lot more smarts than you gun hugging deplorables.
Sondland can't seen to get his story straight. We're playing a game of telephone here and using that to decide if Trump should be removed from office. Ridiculous! And the party pushing it supported one of their own presidents LYING UNDER OATH WHILE ON VIDEO.
Stop it with that racism and homophobia!
What a bunch of gossips
I feel I’m living through Alice in Wonderland.
Here we have a clear case of corruption with the Bidens selling government favors in return for a $50000/month paycheck to the idiot son (talk about quid pro quo), and instead of going after them, the Rats are going after the guy that was trying to uncover the corruption.
The scandal is the Bidens peddling influence NOT Trump trying to expose it.
Why aren’t the republicans making this case from the rooftop!!! They are such pathetic, deballed eunuchs!
It doesn’t matter if Trump did that. It would still be legal - as hell!
“Greg Jarrett also says Trump would be breaking law if he didn’t press Ukraine on Biden corruption.”
Yes, and not just Biden. We have no business handing out money to a foreign government involved in corruption so it is right to hold up money until they show they have intentions of cleaning up the joint.
Her testimony is she hear say from a “witness” testifying to his “feeling”.
All of this “feeling” is utterly legally irreverent. What they feel is not facts
If Quid Pro Quo is a “Crime” Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP. Watch the video of him bragging about it.
The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did, neither is Trump guilty of anything.
It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions.
Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House
Preaching to the choir here, I know.
In times past, in a time when there was true faith and allegiance to our nation and Constitution, death would have been sure and quick for all of these.
These days, you are the enemy to be eliminated, by any means necessary, if you love our country, our liberty, and are a true defender of our Constitution.
There has been widespread anti-American curriculum, which includes videos and cartoons about being honorable global citizens, being used in elementary schools, and on children for a while now. This is the goal. American liberty must be thoroughly broken and erased. This is necessary for true sovereign global governance.
What we see throughout left wing government is all the same objective.
Weay be very fortunate to even bulkanize liberty loving jurisdictions at this point. And even this would probably only be on borrowed time.
What we are really facing is very aggressive bloodthirsty imorality and godlessness.
I am REALY getting tired of anonymous sources.
