We know from documentary evidence that Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the EU, told William Taylor, our ambassador to Ukraine, that there was no quid pro quo involved in connection with Ukraine investigating the Bidens. Sondland appears to have been the president’s point person within the diplomatic corps for dealing with Ukraine in these matters.
Sondland will testify before a congressional committee this week. According to the Washington Post, Sondland will say that his “no quid pro quo” message came from President Trump. In other words, Trump told him there was no such arrangement.
Post reporters Aaron Davis and John Hudson quickly point out, and point out more than once, that Sondland doesn’t know whether Trump was telling the truth when he said no quid pro quo. It quotes a source as follows:
It’s only true that the president said it, not that was true.
Sondland isn’t a mind reader. Of course, he can’t know that Trump was telling the truth when he said no quid pro quo during the conversation in question.

There is no evidence that Sondland was on the call, at most he got a readout. The text messaging with the other ambassador was in mid September, after Schiff had already insinuated that there was a quid pro quo, so logically PDJT, seeing a set-up getting ready to be executed, would have ensured that Sondland knew that there was no quid pro quo.
“Why would Trump feel he had to say it”
Because, starting in August, Schiff had already floated the quid pro quo allegation from the “whistle blower” who’s complaint had not yet been revealed to exist. The Sondland text messaging was in September so PDJT would have already suspected that this was coming.
WOW!!
This is all disgusting!!
And it’s gonna end bad.
Well not really unless the military got involved with the coup.
Mitch (and for some reason I believe him) said this is DEAD in the senate if it gets there besides a show trial, which will probably hurt dems more than Trump.
Unless the CIA and FBI take thee dems’ side.
but i don’t know enough about the FBI or CIA or even the military structure to know what would happen if they attempted a HOT coup.
Trump never said that he stopped beating his wife either!
I really think PDJT has a handle on this and is in the middle of his own revenge take-down
