Reuters: Ukraine minister says U.S. envoy Sondland did not link Biden probe to aid

KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said on Thursday that U.S. ambassador Gordon Sondland did not explicitly link military aid to Kiev with opening an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Interfax Ukraine reported.
quote:
“Ambassador Sondland did not tell us, and certainly did not tell me, about a connection between the assistance and the investigations. You should ask him,” Prystaiko said about Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union.
Prystaiko’s comments came a day after William Taylor, the acting ambassador to Ukraine, testified in the first televised hearing of the impeachment inquiry.
In a disclosure that drew the most attention, Taylor pointed to Trump’s keen interest in getting the eastern European ally to investigate Biden and reiterated his understanding that $391 million in U.S. security aid was withheld from Kiev unless it cooperated.
Taylor said a member of his staff had overheard a July 26 phone call between Trump and Sondland in which the Republican president asked about investigations into the Bidens, and Sondland told him that the Ukrainians were ready to proceed.
That call occurred a day after Trump had asked Zelenskiy during a phone call to conduct the investigations.
“I have never seen a direct relationship between investigations and security assistance,” Prystaiko was quoted as saying by Interfax. “Yes, the investigations were mentioned, you know, in the conversation of the presidents. But there was no clear connection between these events.”
Ruh-roh, how is Trump gonna rebut all this damning evidence that keeps piling up?
But thank you dims for Swampy Bill's muh-nderstandings about Trump's feels.

Schiff stain will just say the Ukraine Minister is obviously lying.

But hearing it DIRECTLY from the Foreign Minister is an example of direct evidence. As we have heard yesterday, third and fourth hand hearsay and speculation is more valued.
Try to keep up

Good luck unwinding that Taylor.

I think that was his coping mechanism. He knew his story was fricked and his nervous laugh proved it.

Prystaiko is obviously a Russian agent

Well obviously the foreign minister is lying because he doesn't want OMB to withhold any more aid... I mean it might get another 3 or 4 Ukrainians killed for God's sake!!!
Where is your humanity man?

He was actually just gasping for oxygen and needed to take a dunk under water.

The Russians clearly got to Pristaiko.
And in before Tex inevitably shows up to claim that Prystaiko is a known, corrupt liar and we should only trust the 2 or 3 Obama guys who never actually witnessed anything but were super “troubled”.

No Schiff will probably say that the Ukraine Minister also said that he had never spoken to Sondland.

Yes, this is in fact not admissible for this impeachment process. It just doesn't matter like the WB testifying and being questioned doesn't matter.

And whatever Schiff says you will believe.

No, I'll believe that because it's true.

It takes a real brainwashed dolt to take whatever Schiff says at face value. He's a liar and it's documented. If you can't admit that, then you're a terrible dishonest person.
