Amidst all this, I'd like to hear someone point out that ATTEMPT of a crime is itself a crime, contra Mulvaney's "defense" that, well, the money ultimately "flowed."
Amb. Taylor: "Ambassador Sondland said, "everything" was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance. He said that President Trump wanted President Zelensky "in a public box" by making a public statement about ordering such investigations." Quid. Pro. Quo.

And it “flowed” right after the whistle blower statement was filed. They knew they were caught.

But no one said that in Latin, so they are off the hook, right?

This affirms how INCORRECT Trump's assertion Zelensky never felt he was being politically and economically blackmailed by Trump. OF COURSE Zelensky isn't going to contradict Trump while sitting in the Oval in front of cameras.

The previously-released text messages make clear--and is confirmed by Amb. Taylor's statement--that Trump only wanted a *statement* that Ukraine was investigating Biden. Trump claims he wanted to reduce corruption, but all he wanted was a headline that would lead the news cycle.

"Quid pro quo" suggests some kind of equal trade. This was extortion.
