According to Fiona Hill, Trump ignored his own advisers who debunked the Crowdstrike conspiracy theory and instead listened to Rudy Giuliani.
Q: President Trump immediately then says, I would like you to do us a favor, though, because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine. They say Crowdstrike. I guess you have one of your wealthy people, the server, they say Ukraine has it. Now, Dr. Hill is this a reference to this debunked conspiracy theory about Ukraine interference in the 2016 election that you discussed at the — in your opening statement as well as with Chairman Schiff?
Hill: The reference to Crowdstrike and the server, that’s correct.
Q: It is your understanding that there is no basis for these allegations, is that correct?
Hill: That’s correct.
Q: Now, isn’t it also true that some of President Trump’s most senior advisors had informed him that this theory of Ukraine interference in the 2016 election was false?
Hill: Yes. that’s correct.
Q So is it your understanding then that President Trump disregarded the advice of his senior officials about this theory and instead listed on to Rudy Giuliani’s views.
Hill: That appears to be the case, yes.

The President Of The United States is getting impeached because he tried to extort a foreign country based on a conspiracy theory that his personal lawyer convinced him to believe. Trump committed impeachable offenses because he thought that he could extort Ukraine into investigating Biden based on a conspiracy theory.
Trump and Giuliani both look insane, and Hill’s testimony reflects the constant danger that the country is in with Trump in the Oval Office.
