Trump Doomed As Envoy Was Told Only To Release Ukraine Aid For Biden Investigation

From the article:

Bill Taylor, Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, testified to the Trump impeachment investigation that he was told only to release aid if Ukraine agreed to investigate Biden.

The Washington Post reported, “The senior U.S. diplomat in Ukraine said Tuesday he was told release of military aid was contingent on public declarations from Ukraine that it would investigate the Bidens and the 2016 election
, contradicting President Trump’s denial that he used the money as leverage for political gain. Acting Ambassador William B. Taylor Jr. testified behind closed doors in the House impeachment probe of Trump that he stands by his characterization that it was ‘crazy’ to make the assistance contingent on investigations he found troubling.”

is Dumpy's long history of getting people over a barrel and screwing the hell out of them. How many times has he been sued for nonpayment after the work he needed done was done? And how many times were the working people he screwed too poor to hire the lawyers they needed to fight back?
