Trump just attacked Jennifer Williams, an aide to @VP and career foreign service officer, as a Never Trumper
The latest in a string of Trump administration official the President has accused without evidence of being "Never Trumpers" and of attacking him.
Awaiting comment from VP

Tell Jennifer Williams, whoever that is, to read BOTH transcripts of the presidential calls, & see the just released ststement from Ukraine. Then she should meet with the other Never Trumpers, who I don’t know & mostly never even heard of, & work out a better presidential attack!

And the second "notes" read by the cow guy during the hearing Wed. doesn't match with the notes preserved from the day the call was made. Sooo....

When Lt Col. Vindman testifies, he will fill in the missing parts of the first call notes released by dumbass45.

The president is now attacking another impeachment witness.

Jennifer Williams, an aide to VP Pence, said she felt the Trump-Zelensky call was "unusual and inappropriate" and that it "shed some light on possible other motivations behind a security assistance hold."

Trump is showing his dictator stripes.

Williams would have briefed Pence ahead of his meeting with Zelensky. She also was one of a handful of U.S. officials on Trump’s controversial July 25 call with Zelensky in which Trump asked the Ukrainian leader to open an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who landed a lucrative position serving on the board of an obscure Ukrainian gas company.

"from notes and recollection" like it stated.

If from notes it would have said:
"The president then congatulated Zelensky"

Transcript would have said
"Congratulations, President Zelensky"

I know, minor point but don't know why no one pointing out. They would have HAD to pull the full transcript off the secure server. Trump said himself he had fuBarr working on it. Then they bastardized the hell out of it.
