Hostile, irrelevant mooing by Nunes.

Detailed statements by Kent and Taylor. New info from Taylor that he just learned last week that his aide overheard a conversation between Trump and Sondland and later Sondland told the aide that wrt Ukraine, Trump cared only about Biden investigation.

this Im using to for recap/updates where u can mute but still read whats happening updated
Seems basically there is a lot of concerns by those testifying and they took a lot of notes

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/impeachment-public-hearings-live-stream-testimony-from-bill-taylor-george-kent-today-2019-11-13/

Bill Taylor, the chargé d'affaires at the U.S. embassy in Kiev, said in his opening statement that he recently learned about a conversation a member of his staff overheard between President Trump and Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the E.U. The conversation supposedly took place on July 26, the day after the president's now-infamous call with the Ukrainian president.


Taylor said the aide overheard the president ask Sondland about "the investigations." He also said Sondland told the aide that the president "cares more about the investigations of Biden" than U.S. policy toward Ukraine.

Taylor is appearing alongside George Kent, the deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian Affairs.

Both officials raised concerns about the central allegation in the impeachment inquiry -- that the Trump administration used U.S. military aid to Ukraine and the prospect of a White House visit to pressure the country to investigate the Biden family and events surrounding the 2016 election.

if you can listen wcpt820, it has tom hartman which is doing a good job at not talking over
the hearing-but adding information/ background (Like that a lie was just made in a statement during a question by a republican just now )

between Trump and Sondland on an unsecured cell phone in a restaurant in Kiev in which Trump was overheard saying all he cared about was getting the Ukrainians to investigate Biden.
