And very damning text coming out of the State Department, about Donald Trump and Ukraine.

But also amazing because of who broke the story.

Fox News has broken a very important story from Congressional correspondent, Mike Emanuel.

It is about a US special envoy to Ukraine.

Kurt Volker the man who stepped down recently and then testified in front of Congress yesterday,

temporary embassador William Taylor, and ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland all

texting one another, wait till you see what's in the texts.

First of all, let me give you a tiny bit of background.

Volker is a guy who went into the Trump administration but is not a Trumpee, right?

He said look I'm gonna do my best, I'm gonna do real American foreign policy here when

he went in.

So he seems like he's a normal state department person that's just a career employee.

I don't know anything about William Taylor's background.

His text is very important.

Gordon Sunland is more of a Trump guy.

So he's trying to protect Trump.

So here's what Taylor says.

This is an exchange that happens September 9th, okay?

So almost a month ago.

Taylor text, quote, as I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance

for help with a political campaign.

>> Smoking gun.

>> Wow.

>> Okay, he said it.

This was before the whistle blower complaint comes out.

This is before there's any national attention to it, no media, no nothing.

These are encrypted text messages that Fox News has gotten hold of.

And in the text messages, William Taylor, the acting Ambassador says, I'm gonna repeat

it, as I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with

a political campaign.

Okay, that is quid pro quo.

>> Wow.

>> Okay so.

Now Sunland, the Trump guy says, writes back, Bill I believe you are incorrect about President

Trump's intentions.

The president has been crystal clear, no quid-pro-quos of any kind.

The president is trying to evaluate whether the Ukraine is truly going to adopt transparency

and reforms that President Zelensky promised during the campaign.

I suggest we stop the back and forth by text.

>> I love this.

So the whole beginning of that, is very carefully crafted.

That is a CYA message have I ever heard one, right?

>> Yeah.

>> There's is not a casual conversation.

That's the kinda thing you write if you think these texts might come out one day, so now

remember, Bill.

This is not a quid-pro-quo as we are clear about, right?

And then he's like, let's get off of a text, get off of a text.

Get back on the phone.

Okay.

>> Wow.

That's, that's huge.

That really is.

>> Yeah.

>> But you know it's interesting because while we really focus on what the reality is and

that's someone calling attention to the fact that this is done for political favors on

Trump's part.

You know, Trump supporters are just gonna focus on what the response was.

>> Yeah.

>> And think that that's the truth.

>> Yeah.

>> That that's really what Trump intended.

Why, if Trump is concerned about corruption, first of all, this country is already deeply

corrupt.

And he's done nothing to figure that situation out.

In fact, he is boastful about corruption in America.

I mean, he's boastful about his own corruption.

The reason why he won't do anything about Saudi Arabia and the Saudi Prince ordering

the murder of a Washington Post journalist is because he does business with Saudi Arabia.

He's said it publicly multiple times, that's corruption.

>> Yeah and we could list dozens of things that Trump does that's corrupt.

He keeps.

>> He tried to bring the G7, he still tried to bring the G7 meeting to his property in

Doral, cuz it's underwater, and I don't mean physically, I mean financially it's not doing

well.

That's the one that's infested with bed bugs and so he's like it's beautiful it's right

by the Airport.

I think we should bring all the, foreign government representatives to my property.

So, I'm using razor gloves.

Anyway, back to this.

You have to remember something, Trump fired the ambassador to Ukraine because she was

honest.

And they did not like the fact that she was not following their political agenda.

She's like, look, man, the former other prosecutors in Ukraine already looked into the Biden connection.

We have to do actual diplomacy here.

And they hated that.

So he fired her.

So that means William Taylor, the guy who says in the text, we're doing this for a political

campaign, was appointed by Donald Trump.

So it's not like, hey, Barack Obama came out of retirement and put William Taylor in etc.

It's a Trump appointee and like all Trump appointees, he's temporary ambassador to US

because he can't, cuz this whole, everybody's constantly getting fired and leaving.

He thinks it's The Apprentice in there, every week he has to fire someone.

So this is someone appointed by him very clearly with a smoking gun message there.

So I guess, but graduall, I have to say nice job by a Fox News reported doing actual an

excellent journalism.
