Up today: George Kent

George Kent, the deputy assistant secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, oversees administrative policy in a bloc of Eastern European countries, including Ukraine.

  The Hill
Not according to Sondland and Giuliani:



So we see that it's true, caged rats will eat each other.

Kent had tried to protect [US Ukraine ambassador Marie] Yovanovitch from the internal smear campaign building against her, according to documents delivered to Congress earlier this month by the State Department's inspector general.

He is being deposed by three separate committees leading the Democrats' impeachment inquiry: Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs.
The big three that are doing all the impeachent hearings.*
The details surrounding the closed-door depositions have largely been kept under wraps. Democrats have released certain details of the various testimonies — including a string of text messages, delivered by Volker, between top diplomats discussing the Ukraine affair — which they say verify the allegations against the president.

[...]

"The tragedy here — the crime here — is that the American people don't get to see what's going on in these sessions," Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), senior Republican on the Oversight Committee, said Monday, ahead of Hill's testimony.
Yes, THAT's the crime.

Kent was another one ordered by State not to testify, but who is appearing under subpoena.  And happy to do so.

  * Matt Gaetz tried to crash the Fiona Hill hearing and was ejected.


Not sure.  I would think there are others - including Jim Jordan - who would be happy to tell all to Trump.
