Of law and our fierce constitutional patriotism. Now, it looked like President Trump might get away with his ukraine shakedown. After all most americans didnt know anything about it and the few who learned of it would be too afraid, too intimidated to cross the most powerful man on earth. President trump could rest easy. But if donald trump misjudged the american character, the framers of our constitution did not. I count 17 honorable Public Servants who came forward to testify over the intimidation and disparagement of the president. Is that right, mr. Goldman . Yes. There was 17. And i counted dozen Career State Department and National Security officials who served republican and democratic president s alike over decades who came to testify. In fact, four of President Trumps own National Security council staffers, hill, vindman, morrison and maguire came

yes. mr. castor, there are four undisputable facts that will never change that prove there is no impeachable offense. there was no quid pro quo on the july 25th call. ukraine leadership did not know the aid was held up at the time of the july 25th telephone call. ukraine received the white house meeting phone call and aid even though, four, ukrainian didn t initiate any investigations. do you agree? ukraine received a meeting with vice president pence in warsaw and a meeting not at the white house but in new york at the united nations. mr. castor, did mr. turley testify that this impeachment inquiry has not passed chairman nadler s three-prong test. he did. thank you. and i yield back. thank you. the gentle woman from washington is recognized. thank you. mr. goldman, let s focus on
