For the record: Mr. Taylor has served his country with distinction for 50 years. ADADWe feel confident that it was in that same spirit that Mr. Taylor agreed to testify about Mr. Trump’s extortion of the Ukrainian government. Two others who testified, Kurt Volker and Gordon Sondland, are Republicans appointed to their posts by Mr. Trump. But even Mr. Sondland spoke openly of his unease over the hijacking of policy toward Ukraine by Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani. ADADAmericans who see and hear Mr. Taylor, Ms. Yovanovitch and the others are likely to perceive them for what they are: honest and courageous public servants.
