A moment of historic theatre as the cameras switched on for the first public hearings in the impeachment inquiry into US President Donald Trump. America's top diplomat in Ukraine said the president cares more about a political investigation than his country's relationship with Ukraine. William Taylor testified on Capitol Hill in the first public hearing as part of the impeachment.
Mr Taylor's opening statement contained new information he said he learned five days ago, claiming a member of his staff heard President Trump ask a top ranking diplomat about "the investigations" into his potential political rival Joe Biden, and his son Hunter. Ambassador Taylor also raised concerns about Donald Trump's approach to Ukraine policy-making.
realDonaldTrump Disappointed that Sky allowed Michael Ware to report hearsay and third party overheard converstaion as fact. Both witnesses denied knowledge of any quid pro quo/impeachable offenses and stated Trump has helped Ukraine more than Obama. A total misrepresentation of the facts.

Donald Trump ignores impeachment inquiry to host Turkey's Recep Tayyip ErdoganUS President Donald Trump on Wednesday ignored the first public hearings into the impeachment inquiry, where a key witness said Mr Trump told a diplomat he 'cared more' about Ukraine investigating his Democratic rival than about the country itself. So no actual evidence of any quid pro quo or anything else remotely illegal, of course. Just sooking from these hired help functionaries. Newsflash: they don't get to set foreign policy. The president does. If they don;t like it they can resign, no-one will care if they do. You can’t impeach a President based upon someone’s opinion

Impeachment inquiry a 'do-over of Mueller report, 2016 election' | Sky News AustraliaAs the US impeachment inquiry becomes public on Wednesday, Republican National Spokesperson Liz Harrington says the process is “another do-over of the Mueller report and another do-over of the 2016 election”. \n\nShe said Democrats are unlikely to retain the Senate in 2020 as they have focused on the inquiry while neglecting more important responsibilities. \n\n“They’re not working on the border, they’re not working on infrastructure, they’re not working on healthcare,” she told Sky News host Paul Murray. \n\n“They’re not working on any issue that actually matters to the American people”. LizRNC What a waste of time! LizRNC Which is exactly right....... They are looking to 'undo' the 2016 election. No way Jose. Nothing to go on. wQke_ LizRNC

And all hearsay - they weren’t even on the call!!!! - what a joke - it was their” understanding “ via multiple people having conversations- regular folk see through this farce - bottom line bureaucrats in DC hate Trump Oh yes more opinions from people with no direct evidence. Their alarm and astonishment means nothing. This whole impeachment circus has exposed how desperate Democrats have become.
