Taylor testifies that Sondland told him Ukraine aid held up unless they helped Trump politically

@mkraju
New - Bill Taylor testified that he was told by Ambassador Gordon Sondland that security aid to Ukraine could have been held up in part because of a push for Ukraine to publicly announce an investigation that could help Trump politically, per sources in both parties.

...and at the moment I'm working on something else and unable to copy and paste them all here, but I'd encourage everyone to click on the tweet above and read them all.

Lindsey said he'd "consider" impeachment if he heard something "outside of the phone call" that proved an impeachable offense.

Taylor's testimony is outside of the phone call, and proves an impeachable offense.
