U.S. diplomat Bill Taylor told Democratic counsel at Wednesday's impeachment inquiry hearing that he can "tell you what I heard from people" when asked about the quid pro quo between President Trump and the Ukrainian president.
COUNSEL DANIEL GOLDMAN: Now, during this early period in September, we talked a little bit about the fact that you continually heard that the president was repeatedly saying that there was no quid pro quo. Is that right?
TAYLOR: That's correct.
GOLDMAN: And he--he still says that repeatedly today, but regardless of what you call it, whether it's a quid pro quo, bribery, extortion, abuse of power of the office of the presidency, the fact of the matter as you understood it is that security assistance and the White House meeting were not going to be provided unless Ukraine initiated these two investigations that would benefit Donald Trump's reelection. Is that what you understood the facts to be?
TAYLOR: Mr. Goldman, what--what I can do here for you today is tell you what I heard from people

I heard that Harry Reid was a frequent visitor to the old Mustang Ranch, took money from the Nevada Mob, and was controlled by them.
Heard that Schiff was queer as a $3.00 bill and had an affair with Swallowswell.
Heard that Cameltoe “I’ll climb anyone’s pole for power” Harris did Willie Brown’s willie for decades, and god know who else on her rise up the political power poles.
Heard that a Warren was an Indian-Giver re her heritage. First claimed it for years and then took it back.
Sanders and DeBlasio still think Comrade Maduro is in charge in Venezuela and support him.
AOC has a functioning brain.
Omar and Tlaib are loyal American citizens.
Pelosi is losing her mind, as is Hillary.
Tom Steyer is sane, NOT!
Bloomturd thinks people like him, not just his money. SUCKER.
Klobuchar thinks she is relevant to something, somewhere.
Pete Buttboy thinks that being a red diaper baby and incompetent mayor of Bendover, Indiana, is a qualification for being president of the US. Who does he think he is, Comrade Chesa Boudin, the new Marxist DA of San. Francisco?
Beto O’Rourke strained his right hand from so much use that he had to drop out of the presidential race.
There are other so-called human beings running for the presidency on the Democrat ticket who actually believe that they have a chance to win.
That the Democrat Party is actually working for the “people”, creating all kinds of jobs, raising wages and production, defeating dictators and terrorists around the world, and are sane.
This is just what I heard today. Come back tomorrow for more news from the “Fantasy News Network”.
Rumor has it,,,,
Jordan made him laugh. He knew this was BS and his testimony would be worthless. Taylor seemed to take it with a grain of salt.
“Is this a joke?”
No...jokes go like this: 2 ambassadors that never met Donald Trump and a lying POS congressman walk into a bar... ...
“I heard that Harry Reid was a frequent visitor to the old Mustang Ranch, took money from the Nevada Mob, and was controlled by them.”
Documented in Godfather II.
"Mr. Schiff, I heard it from my cousins, brothers, college roommates, best friends sisters, aunts, grand uncle twice removed, Ukrainian pen pal, who is a secretary at Barishma, that Donald Trump has the power of the Swartz!"
Nellie Ohr’s older brother?
Toupee Taylor?
He went to West Point and served in the Army during the Viet Nam War. That is more important than anything he’ll ever say or do for the rest of his life, as per the Democrats. Oh, that only goes for him, not for Michael Flynn. His military service means nothing to them.
I have heard a few snippets of this fiasco Wednesday and saw some of his opening remarks...
This is a VN era West Point grad- TOP 1%... then Harvard...
What I saw today sounded like some 10th grader reading a ‘pirated’ copy of a book report he had done.
It struck me that he may very well be (another**) plant orchestrated by PDJT.
I say another, because I believe that AOC is a product of the PDJT machine.....Just a hunch but some of those big time Real Estate/Construction types from NYC can be quite diabolical.
PDJT also is a ‘game player’ and may have stayed up nights just dreaming of ways to tweak the LIBs.
Sad part is they are blowing OUR money...
This is a media conducted clown show. The deep state alphabet media is the only thing keeping this charade going.
If you watch their reporting, it doesnt even resemble anything close to reality.
The American public is going to reject this as simply a political grandstand. The charges have no merit. The Dems are committing political suicide.

“...Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around...”
But, but, but, this isnt a court of law, lapata, this here is a Schifty Schift run Democrat House Impeachment Hearsaying. . . where, in the words of one of Schifty Schifts colleagues, "Hearsay can be much better evidence than direct, as we have learned in painful instances and it's certainly valid in this instance," insanely choosing to ignore the factual evidence of official transcripts to play a game of corrupted telephone using reported overheard second, third, and even fourth-hand rumors as being more dispositive.
PDJT also is a game player and may have stayed up nights just dreaming of ways to tweak the LIBs.

While I don’t think it’s all quite that direct from POTUS, I can imagine him spending all those years at functions and meetings, the only sober participant, deciding that the American people (and maybe the world) _needed_ to see and hear the truth about the progs from their own mouths and via their own actions.
Hoist on their own grimy petards, while the CinC, POTUS, goes competently about his own job. Listening today to some of the ‘top of the hour’ network radio spots,I heard a degree of dogged depression from the networks as they failed to convincingly spin selected quotes. Later, watching the clips, I had to smile at Donald’s ice-cold revenge.
Sunlight. Roaches.
Gotta give him credit. He stuck to the script he was coached to give in those secret meetings.
“Hearsay can be much better evidence than direct, as we have learned in painful instances and it’s certainly valid in this instance,”
___________________________________________
I heard this and thought I was probably missing something. But, no. An elected prog actually said exactly this in public, in complete seriousness.
I would love to hear examples of how and when anyone ‘learned in painful instances’ to rely on hearsay, ignore direct evidence and exactly how they reached a conclusion this was valid in _any_ instance. Just one explication would suffice.
How could anyone, anywhere vote for someone who believes this and states it publicly in complete seriousness?
May I have your permission to ad lib and improve on your joke?
"A poorly dressed State Department under, under deputy secretary and an acting ambassador, neither of whom ever met Donald Trump, and a lying, pop-eyed, Democrat* Committee Chairman walk into a Congressional Hearsaying Room. . .* Being a Piece of Schift is in his natural character merely by the fact of being a Democrat.
Any Proof of that???.....link?
Con artist Nanzi set this up as a National Security issue.
"We're waiting, Nanzi."

<><> Trump is being lacerated for trying to figure out how corrupt the swamp dwellers became.
<><> Trump was doing the job he was elected to do....must be hell wading through Obama's mess.
<><> The only real witness so far is Vindman who was actually on the call, stating that the Trump transcript was ACCURATE.
<><>We have a military man telling Ukraine to ignore Trump?? He should receive a court martial for disobeying orders from the CIC.
<><> Dems have nothing....it's all hearsay, opinions, gossip...marching vacuous people in doing the same thing over and over and over.
