The most difficult part of this is the use of all these names. This testimony is devastating if you are willing to listen to it, but the problem will be the people who aren't willing to listen. That used to be the function of the media, but right wing media outlets are asking who the whistleblower is. I don't think you can expect the bubble to get popped.
The Democrats badly need sound bites from this.

Better summary:
Non-partisan, decorated lifetime government officials don't think assistance should be withheld for political gain.

Schiff and the whole crew know the whistleblower. Incredible he would try to lie about this. He is a serial liar though.

I could see many of these sound bites used in campaign ads against trump's senators needing reelection in 2020..
That says the WB reached out to an aide, not to Schiff himself. I'm going to have to require something more tangible.

38% of the country needs to crack open that Bible gathering dust on their shelf, then.

Another perfect phone call.
William Taylor details NEW info from a July 26 event: One of Taylor's staffers heard Gordon Sondland on the phone with Trump, "asking Ambassador Sondland about 'the investigations.' Ambassador Sondland told President Trump that the Ukrainians were ready to move forward."

It seems like the posts here over the last 2 pages are dominated by discussion of the whistleblower’s identity, and whether Schiff knows, while almost ignoring the gentleman who is speaking and his absolutely devastating testimony.

Your link does not state that Schiff knows the identity of the whistleblower.
It only states that the whistleblower had contact with his committee.
Those two things are not the same.

The whistleblower could be Hillary Clinton and it wouldn't matter. His/her charges have been strongly validated by multiple people.

: Asked whether Trump is watching impeachment hearing, Stephanie Grisham said: “He's in the Oval in meetings. Not watching. He's working." But no Marine standing guard outside West wing, as is customary when POTUS is in the Oval, @dmartosko noted.

I hope Schiff stops asking questions himself very soon and hands it over to the legal counsel.

Thus proving my point about how devastating it would be if the Republicans can prove Schiff was lying. It would become the story. And yes it would be very unfortunate if it overrode facts but that's the sad way the world works.

Maybe Sondland's memory will get jogged again.
And this is also the direct link to Trump.

A bit curious if Holmes is the staffer that Taylor testified about hearing the phone call between Trump and Sondland.

No I think it proves the point that people are trying to distract. I don’t think they will succeed. My guess is that around the country, people watching are not thinking at all about the whistleblower, nor will they from this morning on. It’s become a dead issue as of this public testimony.

This is probably because most of the people in here are already well-versed on the topic and these upstanding, lifetime government officials have confirmed everything we already knew. Not much to discuss. In the parlance of red hats, one could even say "these guys are owning the traitors."
Eh, it's more like why the Julio Jones thread isn't as popular as the threads of fringe fantasy players. There's nothing to debate. These two gentleman have just confirmed things we all knew. Not sure there's much to talk about.

"It's one thing to try to leverage a meeting in the WH, it's another thing, I thought, to leverage security assistance, security assistance to a country at war ... It was much more alarming. The WH meeting was one thing. The security assistance was much more alarming."

While still a bad act, I don't think there's any way at all it would lead to impeachment hearings.

As an aside, it seems completely reasonable (and prudent) that Schiff's office would purposely not seek out the whistle blowers identity while giving him advice.
