Prebriefing with vice president pence before he met with president zelensky, ambassador sondland raised the issue of the hold on security assistance. he said, i mentioned to vice president pence that i had concerns that the delay in aid had become tied to the issue of investigations. vice president pence simply nodded in response expressing neither surprise or dismay at the linkage between the two and following vice president s pence s meeting with president zelensky, ambassador sondland went over to mr. yermak again, president zelensky s top aide and pulled him aside to explain that the hold on security assistance was also now conditioned on the public announcement of the burisma biden and the 2016 election interference investigations. ambassador sondland then explained to ambassador taylor that he had previously made a mistake in telling ukrainian ....

Now the sum total of the democrats case comes down to this. not one of the hand-picked witnesses provided any firsthand knowledge of the president ordering a quid pro quo and two witnesses, sondland by testimony and senator johnson by letter, provided firsthand testimony that the president specifically ordered no quid pro quo. no testimony was provided that the ukrainian government believed there was in quid pro quo. but there are ample public statements that its officials did not believe there was such a linkage. the testimony of the witnesses crumbling under questions and we were left with career bureaucrats the only evidence was presumption and speculation and what they read in the new york times. it is upon this flimsy evidence that the democrats justify nullifying the 2016 presidential election. and it is so flimsy the democrats have turned our bill of rights on its head in order to make it. ....

A link. president trump, too, rejected any linkage to president zelensky and the investigations. it ought to be persuasive because he made the same statement in two private conversations with two different u.s. officials ten days apart. there would be no reason for the president to be anything less than candid during these private conversations. on august 21st, the president spoke on the phone to ron johnson and told president trump that he should tell president zelensky that investigations would be forthcoming. when senator johnson raised the potential linkage to security assistance and investigation, president trump vehemently denied any connection, saying, no way. i would never do that. who told you that? ....

Pause comes from official mark sandy who testified that he learned in september that the pause was related to the president s concern about other countries contributing more to ukraine. he explained that they received requests on what other countries were submitting to ukraine. the aid, of course, was released september 11. several witnesses have testified that security assistance was not linked to ukraine s investigations. the ambassador is particularly relevant on this point because he was a key intermediary with ukranian government and someone they trusted and sought for advice. ambassador volker testified that he was aware of no quid pro quo and the ukranians never raised such concerns to him. when ambassador taylor raised the possibility of a quid pro quo to ambassador volker, volker said he replied, there is no linkage here. during his deposition, chairman schiff tried to pin him down on this point, but ambassador ....

Volker was clear there was no connection. in his public testimony, ambassador volker reiterated there was no linkage. similarly, george kent at the state department said he did not associate aid to investigations, and he relayed how ambassador taylor told him that tim morrison and ambassador sondland also believed the two were not linked. ambassador sondland s testimony, as we have seen already, is a bit more scattered. in his deposition he said that he was never aware of preconditions on security assistance or that the security assistance was tied to investigations. ambassador sondland then later provided a written statement supplementing his deposition in which he explained for the first time that in the absence of any clear explanation, he presumed a link between security assistance and an anti-corruption statement were linked. ambassador sondland also testified in his written ....
