Volker schedules depositions with the House

U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Kurt Volker resigned from his position Friday after his name appeared in the whistleblower complaint that precipitated the House of Representatives' impeachment inquiry into President Trump, CBS News confirms, according to two sources familiar with his decision.

The complaint alleges that Volker went to Kiev in late July and met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Ukrainian political figures and "reportedly provided advice to the Ukrainian leadership about how to 'navigate' the demands that the President had made of Mr. Zelenskyy."

Three House committees have scheduled a deposition with Volker regarding the whistleblower complaint.

1. Have to wonder, will he be a friendly or hostile witness? nt

3. I don't think Volker was a happy employee

2. My guess is that as more information is released

one or more lower to mid-level White House staff will see the handwriting on the wall and decide they're not going to be the fall guy for questionable or illegal activities. They'll do as John Dean did, hire an attorney, and tell their stories to the house, and if any legal charges are brought against them, to prosecutors. Dean realized he was being set up by Nixon, Haldeman, and Ehrlichman as the fall guy for both setting up the break in and the cover up. That's what broke Watergate wide open and what will expose the criminal wrongdoing of this White House.
