Key NSC Official Contradict's Impeachment Theater Narrative
Sean Davis has an excellent article up at The Federalist: NSC Official Tim Morrison To Schiff: ‘I Was Not Concerned That Anything Illegal Was Discussed’ In Trump-Ukraine Phone Call . Here are the key takeaways.
Morrison, who was formerly the NSC Senior Director for European Affairs, was present for the Trump phone conversation with Ukraine President Zelensky on July 25th. In his testimony Morrison:
Affirmed that the transcript of the call was “accurately and completely reflects the substance of the call.” He also stated that he was concerned about leaks of the call.
Stated that he had no concerns about illegality with regard to anything mentioned in the call.
Contradicted Bill Taylor's testimony, stating that Taylor's claim "that Ambassador Gordon Sondland demanded a public statement from the Ukrainian president committing to investigate Burisma" was not true and that Taylor's claim that Morrison himself had met in a hotel room with the Ukrainian National Security advisor was also false.
Testified that Ukraine officials were unaware of any question of aid being delayed until at least August 28, 2019.
