Noah Rothman: “We still do not know for certain whether American military aid was held in abeyance to force the Ukrainian president into a “box,” though Taylor’s testimony goes some way in confirming that. We do not know how Ukraine’s new president responded to this pressure or if his behavior changed as a result. And we do not know if the Trump administration established any moiety between its interest in seeing the Biden family investigated and its desire to introduce some ambiguity into the idea that Russia intervened in 2016 on Trump’s behalf.”
“But even setting all that aside, the all but confirmed revelation that the president subordinated essential American interests in deference to a crank theory that bubbled up from online message boards is disturbing enough. What’s more, everyone, including Trump’s Republican allies in Congress, knows it.”
