I want to let you know, as you may know already, that we will begin our open hearings in

the impeachment inquiry next week.

We will be beginning with the testimony of Ambassador Taylor and Ambassador Kent on Wednesday,

and we will have Ambassador Yvonne of itch testify on Friday.

These will be the first of the open hearings.

In Gepprocott politics box, we now know that this impeachment inquiry will go live on

television beginning mid next week on Wednesday, but this week has been the week of transcripts.

What documents did we get this week?

House Democrats who have been conducting these closed door depositions of various current

and former administration officials have finally started to release those transcripts on

Monday.

We got one from Marie Yovanovich, the former US ambassador to Ukraine, and from Michael

McKinley, a former senior advisor to the Secretary of State.

On Tuesday, we got transcripts from Kurt Volker, the former US special representative to

Ukraine, and Gordon Sondland, the US ambassador to the European Union.

And on Wednesday, we got one from Bill Taylor, who is the current top US diplomat in Ukraine.

Okay, well, let's go through them starting with Ambassador Yvonne of itch.

She was not around anymore as the ambassador when the main events in this scandal happened,

when Trump had his call with the Ukrainian president, when the military aid was being

withheld.

So her story is kind of interesting, mainly as a prologue to this whole saga.

She said, I couldn't imagine all of the things that have happened.
