As best I can tell by Bill Taylor's testimony thus far, Trump's real crime is refusing to delegate the entirety of U.S. foreign policy decision-making to a coterie of unelected career bureaucrats who think the Constitution gives them all power and authority to run the country.

I'm beginning to see the Democrats' strategy here.   Which is apparently to bore us all to death via Taylor's Reading Hour.   It's working.  I'm ready for a nap.   zzzzzzzz

OANN's coverage is better.  FNC just cut away to commercials the second Taylor finished speaking, missing another batch of Schitt's lies.

Ambassador Taylor just spent 20 minutes making a case against Trump's foreign policy decisions.

His job is to represent the foreign policy positions of the Executive Branch, if he didn't like them he has two options.

Resign or Comply

There is no third option.

This is sham.

Ambassador Taylor: "WAAHHHH! WAHHHHH! IT WAS ALL SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT ME,ME,ME,DAMMIT!

Who the hell does Trump think he is to take the attention away from ME???

It is the future of the Ukraine and how I am written about in the history books that is important,not some mere Presidential election and the future of America!

Listening to this in my car while I'm running errands, and I am screaming at the radio.  This is hearsay squared.  They are asking the witness to speculate on what the Ambassador was thinking when he speculated about what Trump meant. How on Earth do they allow this testimony to go on?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

The Dems are REALLY pissed that yet another of their many conduits into public treasuries has been revealed and likely cut off.  This is about that and the striped pants bastards at State are in it because they think it will further empower them.

When are the hearings and how do I follow along?

The first hearing is on Wednesday beginning at 10 a.m. ET. The second hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. ET on Friday. You can watch live on NPR.org and listen to special coverage on many local public radio stations.

I am watching it live on NBC News

A source that I respect, has been debating on Twitter, and the best case is that Trump has violated "Norms," which these unelected bureacrats feel entitled to establish, administer, and woe be to anybody that challenges, that stance.

@truth_seeker

Nobody is a better example of that than Schiff and that pompous ass,Ambassador Taylor. Taylor is irate because "Who does the President think he is to go against MY wishes?"

Which seems to be a common failing of every US Ambassador in history. Old Man Joe Kennedy was fired from his job as the US Ambassador to the Court of St. James after the British caught him passing on war plans to the IRA to pass on to the Nazi's because he was an IRA supporter,and put his own personal beliefs ahead of what was best for America.

Not only that,but he was never charged with treason in time of war.

Remember, no matter what Republicans try to obfuscate during these hearings the fact of the matter is the President of the United States attempted to extort a foreign country’s military aid unless they investigated his political enemies.

He’s already admitted this on camera.

@mystery-ak

"extort a foreign country's military aid......"

Say WHAT????? It is OUR money,NOT the Ukraine's money. If they want our money,I see nothing wrong with requiring them to expose and eliminate political corruption in the Ukraine. ESPECIALLY political corruption that enriches US Political families.

Adam Schiff has already made multiple false claims

@mystery-ak

Yes,but it important to note he isn't under oath. I suspect it would be easier to turn coal into gold than it would be to get him to ever testify under oath.

Nunes is doing a masterful job of laying out the fraudulent behavior of Adam Schiff, the Democrat Staff and the alleged "whistle blower" who seems to be a political operative for Democrats. Thank you Congressman Nunes.

Yes,he did.

Luis Gonzalez Let me sum up the testimony given thus far.
“I don’t like Trump exercising his Constitutional authority and making decisions we don’t approve of.”

BOOM!!!  Nailed it!

Nunes is up at bat...

Starting out with some scene setting regarding the Trump-Zelensky call... both presidents' comments on it... using Schiff's lies (so called parody) against him.... showing it as a created narrative.... Zelensky denies that characterization, points out that prior testimony showed that Ukraine was unaware of any holds on aid at the time of the call...

In reality Trump has provided more valuable aid to Ukraine than the prior administration..... supposed "victim" of "crime" denies that it occurred....

Precisely Zero evidence that Trump asked Ukraine to manufacture dirt."

Much evidence that Ukraine did indeed interfere and meddle in the 2016 election.... perfectly good reason for Trump to want to find out.... good reason to send his personal attorney to make inquires about it...

Brings up Chalupa named... admitted to Politico that she was paid to dig up dirt against the Trump campaign.... points that out to Kent, so we will skip you...

Directs question about Chalupa to Taylor.... Taylor: "Uhh, I had not known about this before..."

Ukrainian Parliamentarian Kalenko: "It was clear that the Ukraine was supporting the HRC campaign, since we thought she would win..."

Brings up Black Ledger (think Manafort).... asks Taylor about it? Taylor confirms that he knows nothing about anything....

Isn't it amazing.... how totally opposite Taylor is now .... now that he's being questioned by GOP Counsel.   Not smooth at all now that he is "off script".   Very telling.
