William Taylor, the top US diplomat in Ukraine, will leave his post at the end of the year, according to a report.

During House impeachment proceedings against President Trump, Taylor questioned the decision to withhold $391 million in military aid for Kiev and an Oval Office meeting with Trump for Ukraine President Voldymyr Zelensky.

It was unclear whether he would leave before Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s planned visit to Ukraine next month.

Trump has lit into top diplomats who testified in the probe, calling them “Never Trumpers,” and it appeared unlikely Pompeo would visit Kiev until Taylor was gone.

One less DEEP STATE HACK at the Deep State Dept., a FEW HUNDRED MORE to go!

Over 75,000 employees at the State Dept. What a joke.

Exactly how many tax-paid US government employees are dedicated to dealings with Ukraine?

The endless parade of present/former U.S. special deputy chief acting assistant provisional envoy policy liaison advisers (and their assistants, drivers, food tasters, etc.) tasked with providing aid, defense advice, and more to Ukraine is staggering ......as must be their salaries, and will be their pensions and retirement benefits......all paid for on the backs of working class Americans.

Seems he had an impressive military career. And he destroyed his reputation in those hearings.

That's what I was thinking....one small country but umpteen experts/advisors? No wonder we are in debt. Lots of swamp to drain for sure!
