In a secret interview, Rep. Adam Schiff, leader of the House Democratic effort to impeach President Trump, pressed former United States special representative to Ukraine Kurt Volker to testify that Ukrainian officials felt pressured to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter as a result of Trump withholding U.S. military aid to Ukraine.

Volker denied that was the case, noting that Ukrainian leaders did not even know the aid was being withheld and that they believed their relationship with the U.S. was moving along satisfactorily, without them having done anything Trump mentioned in his notorious July 25 phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

When Volker repeatedly declined to agree to Schiff's characterization of events, Schiff said, "Ambassador, you're making this much more complicated than it has to be."

In a secret interview

Obviously not that secret.  You got word for word quotes in this story.  Volker returned today for a second unannounced meeting.  My guess is they are telling him facts they have learned from the last 13 days of testamony, and asking Volker if her remembers thing any differently.  My guess is this fleeting moment of positive testimony has been released to open charges against Volker for perjury later.  Enjoy.

Among other things, it showed how Schiff, as a powerful chairman in charge of impeachment, pursues his theory of the case even when a witness gives testimony that does not support it.

He FIGHTS!!!  No wonder the rats love him.

Sounds more like coercing and coaching a witness to me.  Too bad Schiff didn't have a billion in loan guarantees that he could threaten to withhold from Volker if Volker didn't lie the way Schiff wanted him to.

Who are we talking about here?  With all the people who have rolled on Trump I lose track.  The loan guarantee reference escapes me.

The ref was for Biden, but it was half a billion short, to be completely accurate.
