LIVE BLOG: Trump impeachment hearing: Updates from today's public testimony.

Ahead of Wednesday's hearing, Democrats released several talking points in response to the Republican strategy memo on the impeachment proceedings. Here are some key excerpts:Democratic response:

As one U.S. official made clear, the Ukrainian president — recently elected to lead a country that is heavily dependent on U.S. military, economic, and diplomatic support to fight of Russian aggression — could only view this as a “demand” by the American president. Text messages and testimony by multiple witnesses show that both ahead of the July 25 call and for weeks after the July 25 call, U.S. officials pressured Ukraine to announce the investigations requested by Trump. Ukrainian advisors tried to push back, to no avail.

Defense Department official Laura Cooper: “I knew from my Kurt Volker conversations and also from sort of the alarm bells that were coming from Ambassador Taylor and his team that there were Ukrainians who knew about this.”

I'am a vetren and a 82 yr old America, after watching the show today a,d our two guys testify I feel a lot better for our grand kids and our demoricy

Because they do. No way in hell should dedicated people who serve this country be attacked by the criminal in chief or anyone who obviously works for party and not country!

Dog and Pony Show You need to arrest Donald Trump under the Patriot Act. Impeachment requires that there is a president in office, one that was elected by US Citizens. Donald Trump is a terrorist, was put there by Screen Actor Guild, does not fit requirements of impeachment.

Was any crime proven today? No. Adam Schiff is a failure!

You’re not a public servant if you’re getting six figure paychecks and giant pensions. You’re a leech

I am madly in love with George Kent. Mr. Taylor's testimony was excellent...but Mr. Kent stole my heart with his facial expressions and the things he *didn't* say in a very loud way!

My opinion......lol. Good grief.

Since when this Bow Tie dude a US diplomat? Looks like ...

Swamp Circus run by clowns. Nobody believes Schiff and his pathetic coup attempt for the Regressive Left idi0t base, (whom Democrats bilked 3 years with promises of impeachment). Suckers
