I am providing an alternate site for the Trump Impeachment Inquiry materials. I hope that all citizens will at least read through the excerpts that have been provided. From what I can tell, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has done an honest job with the excerpts.
Please share with others, and please contact me if you think there is something I can do to make this more digestible. I have considered adding an audio reading of the excerpts. If that would be useful, please let me know.
U.S. Constitution, Article 2 Section 4

11/13/2019 First Day of Public Testimony
The first day of testimony was from George Kent, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, and William Taylor, Jr., Interim Ambassador to Ukraine. The video below is from CSPAN and is the full session. It is also available at CSPAN – Impeachment Hearing With William Taylor and George Kent. Along with making the video publicly accessible, they also set bookmarks for what they judged as key points in the hearing.
11/15/2019 Day two testimony of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch
Ambassador Yovanovitch was first smeared and then yanked out of Ukraine by Trump. Her temporary replacement, William Taylor, did not arrive in Ukraine for a month after Yovanovitch was called back to Washington. This left an entire month for Giuliani and the “3 amigos” free rein to put Trump’s plan into place.

Transcripts from closed-door depositions of those who were not included in the public testimony
Quoted from Committee materials:
“The testimonies from Ambassador Reeker and Mr. Sandy continue to paint a portrait of hand-picked political appointees corrupting the official levers of U.S. government power, including by withholding taxpayer funded military assistance to Ukraine, to further the President’s own personal political agenda.
“Mr. Sandy confirmed that he was told by the office of Mick Mulvaney, the Acting White House Chief of Staff, that the President himself had directed the hold on security assistance to Ukraine. However, he was provided no other reason or justification for the hold when he was directed to implement it. And in fact, after he raised concerns with OMB leadership and lawyers that the withholding of funding for Ukraine may violate the law, his authority for approving security assistance funding was revoked and given instead to a hand-picked Trump OMB political appointee.
“Finally, we learned from Mr. Sandy that he was first informed in early September—approximately two months after the hold was implemented—that the reason for the hold was due to concerns regarding European countries not paying their fair share of foreign assistance. Given other testimony and the public admission by Mr. Mulvaney that the aid was held to pressure Ukraine to conduct the investigations desired by the President, this constitutes powerful evidence that this justification was concocted as an after-the-fact rationalization to justify the hold.”
