Neither he (Taylor) or any other witness has provided testimony that the Ukrainians were aware that military aid was being withheld. You can’t have a quid pro quo with no quo.” Congressman John Ratcliffe @foxandfriends Where is the Whistleblower? The Do Nothing Dems case is DEAD!

Where’s the Whistleblower?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2019
The Whistleblower(s) is protected under law, his or her identity is none of our business.
Also the Whistleblower is no longer needed, as we’ve had confirmation of the WB Complaint.
The memo of the call was released by President Trump.
In the rough draft of the call the President of Ukraine says I’m ready to buy more U.S. weapons for self defense. The President then says “I would like you to do us a favor though.”
So far testimony from several key players involved with US/Ukraine relations have confirmed that military aid was withheld unless and until Ukraine publicly supported an investigation into the 2016 election interference and President Trump’s political rival former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
On Tuesday the most explosive opening statement that has been released to the public came from Ambassador William “Bill” Taylor.
In the 15 page statement Taylor explains that he was asked by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to return to Ukraine to lead the U.S. Embassy.
Here are some highlights from his opening statement.
I Included this to set the backdrop for the decision to withhold our aid.

Not that I need to explain, but as a reminder our Constitutional rights to free speech pertains to only Government. The Federal and State governments are not allowed to silence our speech they may not pass laws that say “A person shall not say bad things about their government.”
It does not give us the right to force colleges to allow the same. If a college, Twitter, Facebook, want to ban the word “sissy” they can. Our Freedom of Speech is not violated by them doing so.

Republicans are going to fight harder than ever to win back the House because of what the Do Nothing Democrats have done to our Country!

I can’t stop laughing at this.
However, given the new breaking news, Republicans in the House have apparently stormed the Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry.
WATCH: here's the video of when 2 dozen GOP members, led by @mattgaetz entered the secure hearing room (SCIF) to interrupt witness testimony in the #ImpeachmentInquiry as they demand access, despite not being committee members. They're complaining it's a "Soviet-style process". pic.twitter.com/8KddYz3r9D

Just yesterday I read that the Democrats weren’t taking the Impeachment Inquiry seriously. I say WTAF?

Big success on the Turkey/Syria Border. Safe Zone created! Ceasefire has held and combat missions have ended. Kurds are safe and have worked very nicely with us. Captured ISIS prisoners secured. I will be making a statement at 11:00 A.M. from the White House. Thank you!

He has announced in his press briefing that the U.S. will no longer be sanctioning Turkey over their invasion of Syria and attack of the Kurds.
Since he just concluded his remarks, the feed starts at the 20 minute mark.
This post will be updated within reason.
