He testified to what was said from direct personal knowledge, and it tallied directly with what the other witnesses said. This is enough by itself to convict in a court of law. If other witnesses weren't refusing to testify out of fear of Trump, I suspect the corroboration would be even greater.
I actually listened to the five days of public testimony live. I don't know how many people are going to read this posting, but I doubt that any one of them besides myself did that.
It was very depressing, because after each day's testimony, I would listen to the news on the BBC or Al-Jazeera or MS-NBC later, and the news reports bore absolutely no relationship to what actually happened. They were total lies -- and I know this because I saw and heard it with my own eyes.
Every single witness was forced to admit under Republican cross-examination that they had no evidence whatsoever to support Adam Schiff's charges. It was all made up. It was all garbage. But every single news report lied about it, saying something like "Today, Ambassador X gave explosive testimony that Trump withheld aid from Ukraine until Ukraine started investigating Joe and Hunter Biden." In fact, all the news reports used the same words, indicating that they were all reading the same press releases from Adam Schiff and the Democrats...
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
