Yet another key White House official is resigning, apparently over the Ukraine phone call scandal.

Tim Morrison, who is the Senior Director of European and Russian Affairs at the National Security Council, has offered his resignation.

While no information has been given about Morrison’s departure other than the standard “moving on” explanation from the White House, on the surface, this would appear as though Morrison is leaving due to his ties to the Ukraine phone call.

Morrison’s role in all of this has been tied to Bill Taylor, who mentioned Morrison repeatedly during his testimony in the impeachment inquiry.

According to Taylor, it was Morrison that informed him of the quid pro quo on the phone call.

Taylor alleges that he was told by Morrison that Trump did not want to provide any aid at all to Ukraine, which he characterized as “extremely troubling.”

Additionally, Taylor stated that Morrison told him Trump was insisting no military assistance would be released until Ukraine agreed to investigate Burisma, the company Hunter Biden worked for.

Taylor stated, “This was the first time I heard that the security assistance – not just the White House meeting – was conditioned on the investigations.”

There has been no inclination to this point on how Morrison is leaning for his testimony.

If he concurs with Taylor, it will fuel Democrats and their impeachment effort against Trump.

If, however, Morrison says he never said those things, expect Democrats to balk and say he was pressured by the White House to deny having said those things.

But It Never Happened

Here is the thing, though… none of what these individuals are saying has actually happened.

The aid for Ukraine was released and was done so before Ukraine ever realized the aid was being held up.

The White House meeting also took place without any investigation into Burisma or the Bidens ever having been conducted.

So, if Trump was adamant these things were not going to happen until the investigation started, why was there never an investigation and why did Ukraine get its aid and its president have a meeting with Trump at the White House?
