concerned that our relationship with ukraine was being fundamentally undermined by an irregular, informal channel of u.s. policy making and by the withholding of vital security assistance for domestic political reasons. and what's interesting is this isn't just bill taylor's hunch. this wasn't just his feeling. he then went on to provide all sorts of evidence about how the two were linked. s >> exactly. if diplomacy doesn't work out for him, he'd probably be a great investigative reporting. he knew when he started this job which of course he was selected by donald trump and secretary pompeo, that there was something amiss here. his predecessor had been pushed out of the country. his wife didn't even want him to take the job as he said in his testimony. and he took meticulous and detailed notes along the way. reading this testimony as i did and you did and i would encourage anyone to do, really kind of brings to life what exactly happened here.
