Ambitions. Our selfrespect. Our love of freedom and the rule of law. Our fierce constitutional patriotism. Now, it looked like President Trump might get 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. Fr 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 were 17. And i count a 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 councils staffers, hill,
vindman, morrison, and mcguyer, came forward to report trumps scheme to nsc lawyers as so
Figures constitutional patriotism. It look like President Trump might get away. Most americans didnt know anything about it in the few who knew 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 account for 17 honorable Public Servants who came forward to testify over the intimidation and disparagement of the president. Is that right, mr. Goldman . Yes, there were 17. I counted 17,000 officials who served republican and democratic president s alike who came to testify. In fact, four of President Trumps own National Security staffers came forward
to report trumps scheme to nsc lawyers as soon as they learned about it. Didnt they can make mr. Goldman . Morrison and vindman went to the lawyers. Yes. That move me a lot. My father was a staffer on the National Security council under President Kennedy and he said the most important
still had not got a meeting at the white house, still needed aid from the united states. that s right, and david holmes testified very persuasively about the importance of the white house meeting and of the relationship to ukraine even after the speech 26 was lifted, including pointing to today when president trump and president zelensky mehta discussed the war in the east. the evidence knew that he had the power to enforce ukraine s hand and took advantage of that desperation and abuse his office using our taxpayer dollars to use what he wanted, right? it has to be cleared and clarified that the president, the evidence showed that the president directly said to ambassador sondland that there was a quid pro quo with the security systems. there has been some debate and some discussion about that, but that is one thing the evidence shows based on the morrison testimony, the taylor testimony

white house meeting ever provided. so the third or fourth fact, i do think that needs to be clarified particularly as we are focusing on what direct evidence is. let s give more examples. three of the individuals participated in the july 25th call, is there a testimony direct evidence and what happened during that call? yes, although i think the call record is better evidence than there. the day after that call, devon holmes testified that juld ambassador sondland, is that direct evidence? that s direct evidence. speaker after the july 25th ca call, ukraine would investigate the bidens. is that direct evidence? yes. his own words but seems to me like there is a lot of direct evidence. is there are the direct evidence
