this further. ambassador volker didn t say anything at this particular juncture. he said he had another meeting, and they all left. i went back and relate this to ambassador bolton, which is when he gave me the very specific instruction that we ve already been through, to go and talk to mr. eisenberg, john eisenberg, in the nse council office. thank you. mr. nunes? i assume we are at 8 minutes, there? i don t cut off a witness in the middle of the answer. you may proceed. sorry, that was a long answer. mr. jordan? mr. holmes, why didn t your boss talk about it? what s that, sir? i didn t your boss bring up the call that you overheard? the reason you are here today? you are there closing witness. yet their star witness, their first witness, ambassador taylor, didn t even bring it up. when we deposed you, you said this was extremely distinctive experience. one of the most remarkable events of your life. you described it like this.
raise it up to ambassador bolton about any concerns through 2017 and 18, that concern the 2016 election meddling or burisma concerns? the old briefing process didn t really work in the way that you are suggesting there. if the president had asked about any of this information, it would have been provided for him. just to be very clear, ukraine was not a top foreign policy priority in this. back in the same way many of us issues we could talk about, from syria and turkey and others, where. there weren t that many briefings on ukraine. they would take place when there was a scheduled meeting with ukrainian out-of-state. as we know, there haven t been too many of those. so as far as you know, he did know briefings, no papers, answered no questions as it relates to the 2016 election or burisma during your time there?
