NSC staffer corroborating some other testimony which asserts Sondland pressed the Ukrainians to open multiple investigations in order to get White House meeting. The staffer expressed concerns to the NSC lead counsel multiple times.


So is the democratic impeachment fully shifted over to the narrative of "Quid pro quo of white house meeting in exchange for investigations", or are they still barking up the 'foreign aid' or even 'mueller / russia / obstruction' trees?

There's no reason to get locked into any narrative. So far we see Trump sought to leverage America's relationship with Ukraine to pursue his own personal political aims, and he used his personal attorney as the point man.

The happier part of the story are the patriotic civil servants who tried to sound the alarm on this behavior. When the history is written on this, those people will be on the right side.

I can think of a reason: When they run with a half dozen false narratives in a row that each get disproven before turning onto a final message that's so unremarkable and underwhelming that they need to conflate it with the more salacious, false narratives, it shows a disingenuous push for impeachment. Especially when the final message reeks of hypocrisy because Barack "More flexibility after my election" Obama leveraged his foreign policy for partisan purposes in far more direct ways.

Did Barack Obama ever seek aid of other foreign countries to investigate Mitt Romney pre-2012?

it's pretty sad that even people like R - Liz Cheney are on the right side of history here... inb4 Trump tweetstorm about liz cheney being a never trumper

Quote
Even Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the third-ranking House GOP lawmaker, spoke out forcefully against “questioning the dedication to country of people like Mr. Vindman” and others who have been deposed as part of the impeachment inquiry.

“It is shameful to question their patriotism, their love of this nation, and we should not be involved in that process,” she said at a news conference on Capitol Hill.

Trump attacking members of his own government because his corruption concerned them. Btw, Vindman has been in the military for 20 years and was wounded by an IED in Iraq.

is a coherent and direct line of accusations required for impeachment?

if not, and i dont believe there is any such requirement, why does it matter?

Required? In what sense. Impeachment isn't a strictly legal, black and white function of government. Theres no impartial judge. Its a partisan political decision made by the whims and tyranny of the masses and their representatives. And as with all political controversies, messaging matters. An incoherent accusation clouded by false narratives and tangents is a mangled political mess. It doesn't help the democrats case when even astute political observers have trouble tracking their accusations and the laymen still think this is about Russia. Is it required? They can vote anyway, it won't accomplish anything but harming them next election.

Did Barack Obama warp his foreign policy specifically to undermine Mitt Romney ahead of the election and then make a big scripted moment about it in the debates? Yes, the 1980s called. And that latitude given to Russia had disastrous consequences and was pivotal in Putin's decisions in Ukraine, Syria and the 2016 election.

To what extent does it need to be a specific proactive quid pro quo to be considered morally equivalent? We at least know Obama was communicating directly to the Russians that he was willing to be soft on them for the election's sake, thanks to that fateful hot mic.
