I actually heard this initially on an ABC radio report hidden at the end of an anti Trump piece “the timeline of this witness appears to preclude the possibility of a quid pro quo deal” - as if this news was an after thought.
So, we have another one of the very few with first hand knowledge admit unwillingly that the timing precludes the nothingburgwr claim they make against Trump. But Schiff is blocking the release of such info at the threat of removing the R from the committtee altogether. At the same time, he leaks negative info about Trump from the meetings himself to the MSM daily.
All Schiff has is hear say 2nd and third hand info from nonwitnesses. That is what he is using as an excuse for his predetermined impeachment.
