Sondland swings both ways———ya never know with this guy.

Sondland was known for telling others “he was in charge of Ukraine” despite being the U.S. envoy in Brussels, Hill testified.

“And I asked him, on whose authority?” said Hill. “And he said, the president.” (hat tip Fox News)

NOTE: Trump campaign officials have noted that several Democrat witnesses appeared to suggest that they were in charge of Ukraine policy, not the president.

OK OK I’ll take an extra xanax and i’ll be good for the day.

You have COMPLETELY BLIND FAITH in Rs.

The truth falls somewhere between the both of us.

Closing your eyes to reality doesn’t help either.

And Epstein didn’t kill himself.

But then, a murder of the most important witness in FOREVER in the COUNTRY could NEVER happen.

ciao!

So let me get this straight: They want Trump impeached for doing what Biden did - which Trump didn’t do - yet they are OK with Biden becoming POTUS


Bingo.

And if that overt act of using dollars is deemed acceptable, and in this case its all about checking out whether the guy will carry out a signed agreement between the countries ( Clinton era) still in effect its a crime....

Trump was simply vetting the guy to see if he could be trusted to follow through, like he does, on campaign promises....

Wow what a stretch even the MSM will have a hard time covering up the illogical scenario they are setting up

How did Giuliani overstep? There were reports in the leftist media that the Ukraine had meddled in the 2016 election on behalf of Hillary, and Trump/Giuliani wanted to get to the bottom of it.

There was also the suspicious FACT that Biden's son made lots of money from a shady Ukrainian energy company at a time when his father was vice-president, and that Biden Jr. and his lawyers met at the White House to discuss a Ukrainian investigation into that same company. Shortly thereafter, the prosecutor in that investigation was fired at Biden's insistence, under threat of withholding US aid.

Those are legitimate concerns, and it is not corrupt in any way to look into it. What have the DEMS been claiming for four years? That foreign governments meddled in the 2016 election and we must get to the bottom of it!

I get the feeling that if one of these ambASSadors was in Mexico and they wanted Texas back, they would say well, it was our in our interest to support Mexico’s desire to extend back into Texas so they would begin the process of converting the country to democracy.

Senate rules. After the conviction vote, there is a separate vote on barring the accused from holding future office. It was always meant to be implemented after a conviction, but nothing says they cannot twist it to apply now.

I hope you are right. The other thing that might help is Trump did not directly state he wanted a quid pro quo to Sondland. But, it sure seems that Sondland is making this a difficult morning.

i sure hope there WAS a ‘quid pro quo’

getting the Ukrainians to help investigate the Biden bribery crimes was exactly what a USA president should have done

and perfectly legal, too, indeed one could easily argue that failing to do this would have been deriliction of duty

(except of course that it was not necessary and so PDJT did not do it, in fact...but if he had he would be worthy of praise for doing his job well)

As I said weeks ago, quid pro quo obviously occurred, it’s easy to prove and I’m surprised Trump and allies ever denied it.

The real issue is motive for the quid pro quo.

Was it done in pursuit of criminal justice, or to dig political dirt? That is the battlefield.

Trump had reasonable belief a US crime had been committed in Ukraine by a US citizen. That meets the threshold under US law to open an investigation. And makes the request to Ukraine not only legal, but required by treaty.

He did not want ‘quid pro quo’

before or after

he wanted ‘quid pro quo’?

Or vice versa or versa vice?
