There. I read (and provided context about ) the information released tonight by the House Intel and Foreign Affairs committees so you don't have to. Bottom line: overwhelming confirming evidence about Trump's use of public office & US taxpayer money for private electoral gains.

Amb Taylor (USMA grad, longtime USG public servant) to Amb Sondland (Trump funder, real estate business person, serving in Brussels, not Kyiv or DC): "As I said on the phone , I think its crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign." MONEY QUOTE !

Ambassador Taylor is a real professional. Had served as US ambo to Ukraine before. He clearly is pushing back on the schemes of Giuliani, Sondland and Volker.
