Rep. Ratcliffe: Ambassador Taylor again today I found him to be forthright. He had very strong opinions on Donald Trump’s approach to foreign policy. But again the mainstream media reporting that he provided evidence of a quid pro quo involving military aid is false. I questioned him directly on that. Under Adam Schiff’s rules I can’t tell you what he said but I can tell you what he didn’t say. Neither he or any other witness has provided testimony that the Ukrainians were aware that military aide was being withheld. You can’t have a quid pro quo with no quo!
What law did trump break??
Radcliffe obviously was not listening during the opening statement and 10 hour deposition of Ambassador Taylor....
Trump used his power as President to direct all of his admin to hold back all the aid allotted to the Ukraine and hold up a meeting with the Ukraine gvt until the Ukraine helped Donald Trump With his personal, political goal that would help him in his upcoming 2020 election.... And the President put in his personal campaign lawyer, Giuliani, as the shadow gvt person directing it...
Trumps policy was to hold money and a meeting in DC, until the Ukraine president made a public announcement in the media that he had opened an investigation in to the DNC Server 2016 election and Burisma, preferably with CNN International.
ALL of the above is gvt abuse of power.... whether the Uke President knew about the military aid being held back as well as the meeting in DC or not, matters not... it was a pre planned attempted solicitation/bribe by the President and state dept.
