After yesterday's explosive testimony by Ambassador Bill Taylor that confirmed multiple accounts of demagogue and Kremlin asset Donald "Impeachable Me" Trump's abuse of power in the Ukraine shakedown scandal, the White (Supremacist) House and their Rethug lackeys attacked Taylor's credibility. White (Supremacist) House spokesliar Stephanie Grisham, who has yet to hold a press conference, said in an Orwellian statement:
“President Trump has done nothing wrong — this is a coordinated smear campaign from far-left lawmakers and radical unelected bureaucrats waging war on the Constitution."Being the mouthpiece for a pathological liar and lawless would-be autocrat, the "waging war on the Constitution" is especially rich coming from her. But her characterization of Taylor and the other patriots who witnessed Trump's illegal actions as "radical unelected bureaucrats" is on a par with the worst of McCarthyism. Looking at Ambassador Taylor's background, he's a West Point and Harvard University graduate, a decorated combat veteran of Vietnam (101st Airborne Division), and a career Foreign Service official since 1992, appointed ambassador to Ukraine by President George Bush.
There's more honorable biographical detail, but the point's obvious and stands in contrast to Grisham's lie about him, and by extension, his colleagues who have stepped forward and told the truth. As far as who to believe:
Who you gonna believe, a 101st Airborne veteran and diplomat under two Presidents or a scared hotel owner working for a philandering draft dodger who went bankrupt 6 times, stiffed hundreds of contractors & is hiding his tax returns.— John Rogers (@jonrog1) October 23, 2019
I know who REAL Americans believe!
Taylor came out of retirement in June 2019 at the request of Trumpist Secretary of State Pompeo to be the interim chargé d'affaires for Ukraine. And Taylor's testimony seems to be supported by a varied list of witnesses, including the crime boss himself:

1. Trump.
2. Giuliani.
3. Taylor.
4. Hill.
5. Mulvaney.
6. Yovanovitch.
The GOP: "The lying 'whistleblower' must be revealed!"
Grisham, as were her predecessors, is playing to an audience of one: the unfit, treasonous, corrupt liar who is currently soiling the Oval Office. She's one of the last people to attack the patriots who are defending the Constitution against a domestic enemy.
And, finally,
The more I review the Taylor statement, the more punched in the gut I feel.— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) October 22, 2019
This is the biggest scandal in US history. The president undermined an ally's very survival so he could blackmail that foreign nation into interfering with our election.
No scandal comes close to this.
