Bill Taylor said, Taylor said, “Following that meeting in the presence of my staff at a restaurant, Ambassador Sondland called president trump and told him of his meetings in Kyiv. The member of my staff could hear president trump on the phone asking ambassador Sondland about the investigations. Ambassador Sondland told president trump the Ukrainians were ready to move forward.

Hearsay exemptions don’t apply to impeachment. The account of a staffer who overheard Trump in a call is valuable evidence. It is also another direct connection of Trump to the Ukraine scandal. Trump has no deniability. Every defense that he has tried to mount for himself has imploded.
The staffer could be the most important witness yet, as it puts Trump right in the middle of the Ukraine shakedown.
