Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) hammered U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland on Wednesday during Democrats’ impeachment inquiry hearing on the House Intelligence Committee. Hill got Sondland to admit that “no one on this planet” told him that financial assistance to Ukraine was connected to any investigations.
“After you testified, Chairman [Adam] Schiff ran out and gave a press conference and said he gets to impeach the president of the United States because of your testimony and if you pull up CNN today, right now, their banner says ‘Sondland ties Trump to withholding aid,'” Turner said. “Is that your testimony today, Ambassador Sondland? That you have evidence that Donald Trump tied the investigations to the aid? Because I don’t think you’re saying that.”
“I’ve said repeatedly Congressman, I was presuming,” Sondland replied.
“So, no one told you?” Turner fired back. “Giuliani didn’t tell you? Mulvaney didn’t tell you? Pompeo didn’t tell you? Nobody else on this planet told you that Donald Trump was tying aid to these investigations, is that correct?”
“I think I already testified,” Sondland responded.
“No, answer the question,” Turner shot back. “Is it correct? No one on this planet told you that Donald Trump was tying aid to the investigations? Because if your answer is ‘yes,’ then the chairman is wrong and the headline on CNN is wrong.”

That made my day. Pelosi must have choked when she heard that....because there went her Blackmail call.
I got him!, I got him, He’s smoking, all the way down! Or Splash one flat top.
Heard most of it. Surprising this isn’t leading news tonight.
I swear that it is God’s truth that what I presume is what I presume and that I presume what I presume. Is that clear Mr. Congressman.
Sondland proves himself to be another State Department swamp dweller like Mr. Bowtie George Kent and Amb. Taylor. The State Department is filled with these self righteous fools that think they run foreign policy. The bulk of them should be fired.
Sondland was threatened and trying to find a way to save his family and not flat out lie at the same time. So he used “news” stories to say he now has a different understanding.
“The State Department is filled with these self righteous fools that think they run foreign policy. The bulk of them should be fired.”
Negative. We are at war. These “people” should be facing a firing squad or the gallows.
Turner is one really great guy. Ohio should be proud to have Turner and Jim Jordan on this committee.
““no one on this planet” “ Uh, hello. Space aliens probably told him. So, is he the ambassador to Mars?
Wait what? You’re surprised? You know better. LOL!
So beautiful a take-down.
IOWs he heard it from Adam Schiff.
Out of a cannon, into an active volcano!
Well of course not..the commie media doesnt care about FACTS, they care about getting rid of the President who they hate most in the world
The republicans must bring this up.

I like the way you think
“The State Department is filled with these self-righteous fools that think they run foreign policy.”
These type self-righteous fools at the State Department were a driving force behind putting over 58,000 names on a stone wall in D.C.
That sir is the dying truth. These anal orfices should lead our troop from the front. Let’em walk point.
