Just How Damning Is Bill Taylor’s Testimony for Trump?

In what is seemingly the most damaging testimony since the beginning of the Trump impeachment inquiry, William Taylor, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, admitted before Congress that he believed he was acting under the impression that there was indeed a “quid pro quo” between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In a long closed-door session, Taylor, who called himself a “life-long public servent,” testified unequivocally that President Trump pushed Ukraine to investigate both election interference and a company linked to former Vice President Joe Biden’s son — and was willing to hold up military aid and a White House meeting to get a public announcement from the country that the probes were underway.

Taylor went on to describe the existence of an “irregular” communications channel with Ukraine led by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and a “weird combination of encouraging, confusing, and ultimately alarming circumstances” once he arrived in Kiev.

This could all spell very bad news for Trump, and even worse for the Senate Republicans who will undoubtedly be forced to take a side when the Democrats’ impeachment proceedings move to the Senate for a trial.

However, before the Democrats, CNN, and assorted other Trump-haters start to run a victory lap, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said a fellow Republican lawmaker deconstructed a key part of Taylor’s testimony.

Speaking to Fox News, McCarthy said, “In 90 seconds, we had John Ratcliffe destroy [acting U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bill] Taylor’s whole argument.”

The questioning by Ratcliffe, a Texas Republican and member of both the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees, was an important moment in the hearing, McCarthy claimed. But, “We can’t really talk about it,” he said.

Ratcliffe appeared on Fox News after the testimony and said there were new details brought to light, but said nothing “worthy of impeachment.”

McCarthy added House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is not allowing lawmakers to speak too specifically about the proceedings, in an interview Tuesday on “The Ingraham Angle.”

“Adam Schiff won’t let us talk about what happened,” he said regarding U.S. diplomat to Ukraine Bill Taylor’s closed-door hearing on Capitol Hill. “There is no quid pro quo.”

  1. It is disgusting that these undiplomatic diplomats, just because they don’t like The President’s foreign policy. Those poor little small minded servants to The President, who the fuck do think they are? If I were him everyone who testified against his orders or the State departments orders should be fired!

    • Ditto mate………..I think #45BestPresidentEver will come out Trumps………lol.

      People should realize that a self-made BILLIONAIRE does not give up his lifestyle easily. President Trump works for America every day and is keeping his promises. #KAG2020

  2. TAYLOR the TRAITOR , I,ll assume he will be FORMER AMBASSADOR to the UKRAINE after this BULL-SCHIT closed door meeting, and how much money did they pay him, ( schiff and pelosi ) to say what he did say. ???

  3. We must read the complete transcript before being able to asses that. Schiff has provided edited, conflated, or outright false information so many times that he is not to be trusted.

  4. I wonder how much the Dems paid Bill Taylor?
    Why can’t they leave President Trump alone,
    Wasting the tax payers money, but then the Dems
    don’t seem to have a problem with that. Prime example
    OBAMA!

  5. it seems to me that the demo-donkeys use the quid pro quo , in getting testimony , be it false or truth, and then after that throw the testifying person under the bus. And either using TAX PAYER MONEY or soros money , or both. SO CORRUPT they should be lead to the gallows and hung.

  6. This Is a FAKE Investigation As Under The CLAUSE Of A KANGAROO Court Which Is UNCONSTITUTIONAL In OUR REPUBLIC. This Very Act Will ENSURE The Total DEMISE Of Thew Communist Socialist democratic party.Thank GOD!Advice STRECH YOUR TREASONOUS NECKS!

  7. WHO IN THE HELL IS BILL TAYLOR ? SOME ASS CLOWN THAT THINKS HE IS IMPORTANT AND A HABITUAL LIAR AND A FRAUD. OR IS IT JUST ONE OF TTC THE INSANE IDIOT’S THAT DERANGED AND DEPLORABLE SHIFTY SCHIFF DRUM-UP.

  8. VOTE RED …If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. CLAPPER’S OWN CONFESSION
    AMERICANS WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK OUR AMERICA FROM THE EVIL CRIMINAL ACTS OF DEMOCRATS………………………..TO SOLVE AMERICAS PROBLEMS MAKE THIS CHOICE WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE THE POWER OF OUR VOICES AND OUR VOTES, TO VOTE OUT THE ENTIRE LYING,CORRUPT, TREASONOUS DEMOCRAT PARTY COME NOV 2020, VOTE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND TO END ALL CORRUPTIONS IN WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT

  9. taylor is a civil servant with ties to soros and the left. he recited his opinons on trump and ukraine but provided no evidence, no transcreipts, nothing. just what he thinks . that is not worth spit. i can call shifty schitt names all day long, and that isnt worth a lick of spit in court either. the democrats are avoiding the constitutions, open court, transparency, rule of law, and thus their so called impeachment inquiry is worthless. they have wanted trump impeached since he was elected in 2016 and have had numerous investigations, muellers costing up to 45 million, and nothing. they want trump out because he is cleaning up corruption in dc and the government. that is dangerous to dems and many repubs too. time for rule of law to reign supreme or we lose our republic

  10. There are so many Swamp Creatures in the government that almost all of them never say the truth about anything. Just looking at that little twit’s picture tells me that he must be a whining liberal.

  11. This is just another lie created by shifty Schiff and his Democratic impeachment machine. When are we going to end this endless BS that the Democratic party is attempting to do to unseat an elected President. It is truly a sick world we are living in with the demented Democratic Party.

  12. Lenin taught the Communist conspirators to: “Tell any lie, commit any crime…” to achieve Communist victory.
    That’s WHAT, and ALL this WHOLE “Impeachment” SCAM is all about. PERIOD!!!

  13. Mr Taylor said he thought their as a quid pro quo………………….he GUESSED HE WAS RIGht………….WHAT EVIDENCE IS A “THOUGHT”. ANOTHER BULLSHIT ATTEMPT BY THE DEMONCRAPS…………..THEY JUST CAN NOT GET THE HANG OF WHAT “EVIDENCE” IS……………TO THEM IT IS A THOUGHT, IDEA, RUMOR, GUESS ETC ETC ETC

  14. Taylor is a dumb ass motherfucker with shit for brains. The fucking retard is a liar too. This piece of shit is going to get his sorry ass kicked.

  15. “in what is SEEMINGLY (upper case my own) the most damaging testimony…”

    “…he BELIEVED he was acting under the IMPRESSION….”

    He testifies that POTUS pushed UKRAINE? Where are the SPECIFICS ANd tHE FACTS, I don’t want to hear about his “Beliefs” and “Impressions” – which are sheer contrived manipulative BS.

    The fact that this maggot is a life-long public servant is cause for pause, if not alarm. He is a LEFTIST, plain and simple. Communists have infiltrated people like him into every facet of government (and other estates) for the past 100 years, starting just after the Bolshevik revolution. The only people who work for government their entire lives are power hungry, crooked Leftists in love with bureaucracy and control. Get rid of this Lying, all too convenient snot-nosed MoFo.

  16. If what they leaked of his testimony is REAL, we all know they only release snippets of the answers, only those they can use to make the President look bad, then he could be in trouble, HOWEVER, the democRATS never tell everything and it is only crap at best. The demo-nuts will just end up shooting themselves in the foot one more time. They never learn!

    • Taylor’s Testimony is nothing but ORDINARY PIECE OF GARDEN VARIETY GUTTER TRASH and it doesn’t mean a damn thing !!! Taylor is nothing but a puppet show for the DERANGED and DEPLORABLE DEMOCRATS.

  17. I figure he was paid like Hillary has does for so many.
    She apparently thinks everyone has a price and she found out what is was.

  18. MY TAX MONEY HARD AT WORK WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL SH*T .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LONG LIVE TRUMP !!!!!!!!! HOLD THE WHITE HOUSE DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP THERE PIST THAT YOU OUR THERE AND AS A TAX PAYER I WHAT YOU TO LIVE IN OUR WHITE HOUSE ENJOY LIVING THERE WE WHAT YOU TO NOT GIVE IT BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE TRUMP AND RUSS HOLD THE WHITE HOUSE !!!!!!!!!

  19. All that is going on what “seems” according to the fake media are lies and more corruption from corruped political officials that are part of sham being played in Washington DC. in their attempt to remove a duly elected president. Very soon, just like the “Muller report final moment” the “so called impeachment inquiry will be named for what it just a sham to discredit President Trump.

  20. Mr. Trump please make sure these Communists traitors are prosecuted for betraying America’s trust and using their office for such mayhem and crimes. Please clean up our elections and get the Soros voting machines out of there for good. I am sure most of these clowns won by cheating. They have been doing it for years.
