GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik exposed a key weakness in the Democrats’ ongoing Ukraine-Impeachment fantasy Wednesday; confirming that President Trump “never told” Ambassador Sondland to tie foreign aid to any investigation into the Bidens.
“You testified, ‘President Trump never told me directly that the aid was conditioned on the investigations?'” asked the Congresswoman.
“That’s correct,” said the diplomat.
With every question that @RepStefanik asks, Democrats' sham impeachment gets weaker and weaker.

Rep. Elise Stefanik utterly obliterated Congressman Adam Schiff during last week’s public impeachment inquiry; saying the Democrats were unfairly stifling Republican concerns over Hunter Biden’s relationship with the Ukraine.
“Since we haven’t been able to conduct ourselves under normal procedure, I’m going to use the five minutes for this… The first time that you became aware of Burisma was when you were being prepared by the Obama State Department for your Senate confirmation hearings,” said Stefanik.
“For the millions of Americans watching, President Obama’s own State Department was so concerned about potential conflicts of interest from Hunter Biden that they raised it themselves,” she added.

DEVELOPING: All Republicans on House Intel Committee Warn Schiff Over ‘Irregular Impeachment’ Probe
All nine Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee sent an official letter to Chair Adam Schiff Friday; slamming his “highly irregular” impeachment investigation.
“The highly irregular manner in which you are conducting your so-called ‘Impeachment Inquiry’ gravely concerns us, as does the fact that you have decreed this matter to be under HPSCI’s jurisdiction despite it lacking any clear intelligence component,” states the letter.
HPSCI refers to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
“Further, given that you have recently acknowledged that the Committee no longer needs to receive testimony from the whistleblower, your “impeachment inquiry” lacks any relationship with the jurisdiction of this Committee,” adds the statement.

“We expect you to rectify these concerns and begin planning intelligence-related committee events starting next week,” it concludes.
The letter was signed by Representatives Nunes, Conaway, Turner, Wenstrup, Stewart, Crawford, Stefanik, Hurd, and Ratcliffe.
