Yeah - where in the text POTUS says
The· President: I would like you to do us a favor though
after being told Ukraine would like weapons. Sounds shady to me.
If that’s IT, this is a giant nothingburger.

And I’m guessing that’s it.

Here is your so called whistle blower 33 yo Eric Cieramella(spelling?). He is a Democrat holdover from Obama, Trump should have canned all Obama appointees on day 1. Looks like he has lots of friends.

Maybe he does have an agenda

But when what he says happened actually gets corroborated .... the agenda becomes moot

So, if someone see's or hear's something they think is wrong or improper at the highest levels of government, they should just sit quiet? Please. :tothehand: However, his story is being corroborated by people with first hand accounts. I agree with Cid - if he had an agenda it's moot at this point.

Besides - there's nothing wrong with having people of opposing views working with you. Why surround yourself with sycophants unless you can't handle the criticism?

No it isn’t

I pile on because any good commander knows that the fruits of victory are to be exploited to their maximum

President Donald Trump’s top Russia aide corroborated aspects of a key U.S. diplomat’s testimony connecting the president to a quid pro quo with Ukraine, according to people familiar with the aide’s testimony to House impeachment investigators.

Tim Morrison, the Europe and Russia chief for the National Security Council, was cited more than a dozen times in William Taylor’s opening statement to investigators last week. Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, said he was told that Trump sought to withhold military aid to Ukraine and refuse a White House meeting with the country’s president until it launched investigations into Trump’s political rivals.

But Morrison, a former longtime GOP congressional aide, was careful to not directly criticize the president’s actions, according to another person familiar with his closed-door testimony.

According to Taylor’s testimony, Morrison said he had a “sinking feeling” after learning about a phone call between Trump and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, during which Trump demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly announce investigations into Joe Biden and a debunked conspiracy theory about the 2016 election.

Taylor also described a conversation, relayed to him by Morrison, between Sondland and a senior Ukrainian official. Taylor testified that Sondland told the Ukrainian official that critical military assistance to the eastern European country would be withheld unless Zelensky “committed to pursuing” a Biden investigation.

Taylor said he was “alarmed” after learning of the conversation, and said he previously told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that he “would have to resign” if the U.S. changed its policy of supporting Ukraine. “Based on my call with Mr. Morrison, I was preparing to do so,” Taylor added.

Morrison was set to resign his post imminently, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. He became the second current White House official to testify to impeachment investigators, two days after Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine and Russia expert on the NSC, testified he believed Trump’s overtures to Ukraine undermined U.S. national security.

Oh no, he was on the call.

https://thefederalist.com/2019/10/31/ns ... hone-call/
I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison testified today, according to a record of his remarks obtained by The Federalist

Morrison also pointed out key factual inaccuracies in testimony provided by William Taylor, a State Department official who works in the U.S. embassy in Kiev, Ukraine. Morrison said that, contrary to Taylor’s claims, Morrison never met with the Ukrainian National Security advisor in his private hotel room.

Morrison also said Taylor falsely claimed that Ambassador Gordon Sondland demanded a public statement from the Ukrainian president committing to investigate Burisma, a controversial Ukrainain energy company that paid Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter millions of dollars to sit on its board.

The whistleblower gets fired from the WH for leaking, then CIA picks him up, then he starts meeting with Schiff and staff. He is kaput. This whole thing is another failed nothing .

Really? A whistleblower with an agenda the size of New York? You have no problem with that? He's "owed" anonymity? Isn't the sitting president owed an unbiased opinion without a political hatchet job? If the shoe were on the other foot in this exact scenario libs would be rioting in the streets and burning cars.
