quote:

David Holmes, assistant to Ambassador Bill Taylor in Ukraine, and Office of Management and Budget official Mark Sandy, testified before Congress over the weekend, in separate closed-door depositions following last week's highly contentious public hearings. According to Zeldin, Sandy "went right to the heart of why there was a hold on aid to Ukraine" during his Saturday deposition, and called for a release of the transcripts containing Sandy's statement in time for week two of public hearings.

Witnesses that do not help Schiff are not allowed.

"If they could get them released by Tuesday morning, that's fantastic. But, if they can't...then we'll move the open hearings back a day or two or three, because it's going to change some of the answers that some of these witnesses will be giving," he said.


So those testifying prior to the transcript release will be lying to Congress.

What a shite show.

Or allow others to lie and then have it released.

Word around the campfire according to some on twitter is that Trump's OMB people have been investigating ALL foreign aid disbursements, not just Ukraine via state. Ukraine just happens to be particularly sketchy and was really ignited following Zelesky and Trump' s"perfect" phone call.

Seems like maybe most of the aid ended up in people's pockets. Could be an Al Capone type deal for the 21st century.

These witnesses need to do a press conference on the steps of congress and call out Schiff.

Is that wrong? Are they not supposed to do that?

Almost as if Trump wanted to draw attention to UKR foreign policy that predated his administration, knowing that sunlight is the best disinfectant....

follow the money right?

would explain a lot of the hatred around Trump the last few years. Hillary would have kept the status quo.

Haven't really heard Manafort or Podesta's names very much lately, have we? Those guys were in deep in Ukraine.

Guess this is another one we can add to the list of "trust the plan" type stuff

This was a foreign policy win. It has bipartisan and international support, so Trump getting to the bottom of this is an impeachable offense.

Because he is not allowed by the rules. Reps are being threatened if they leak. Only acceptable leakers are Dems, specifically Schiff.

Just because the Dems have majority, how in the heck is the possible with all the laws we have in place and all the lawyers in one place?
