As reported earlier by Cristina Laila, Tim Morrison, the National Security Council’s Senior Director for European Affairs appeared on Capitol Hill Thursday to testify in Schiff’s sham impeachment hearing.
Morrison, who was on the July 25 Trump-Zelensky call testified Thursday that nothing illegal was discussed.
This is why Schiff is conducting the hearings behind closed doors.
Schiff doesn’t want the American public to know that President Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was completely above board.
“I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” Morrison said.
This is why Schiff is conducting the hearings behind closed doors.
CBS News posted Morrison’s opening statement to the committee.
Morrison BLOWS UP the Democrat conspiracy and said NOTHING illegal was discussed on the call.
I also reviewed the Memorandum of Conversation (“MemCont’) of the July 25 phone call that was released by the White House. I listened to the call as it occurred from the Situation Room. To the best of my recollection, the MemCon accurately and completely reflects the substance of the call. I also recall that I did not see anyone from the NSC Legal Advisor’s Office in the room during the call. After the call, I promptly asked the NSC Legal Advisor and his Deputy to review it. I had three concerns about a potential leak of the MemCon: first, how it would play out in Washington’s polarized environment; second, how a leak would affect the bipartisan support our Ukrainian partners currently experience in Congress; and third, how it would affect the Ukrainian perceptions of the U.S.-Ukraine relationship. I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed.
