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 presidents 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 doesnt know whether Trump was telling the truth when he said no quid pro quo. It quotes a source as follows:
Its only true that the president said it, not that was true.
Sondland isnt a mind reader. Of course, he cant know that Trump was telling the truth when he said no quid pro quo during the conversation in question.

Lisa Page discussed Quid Pro Quo and used that phrase but it’s Obama so not ting wong.
I see no evidence has been presented in support of this adversarial wording and conclusion. Such wording demonstrates itself to be biased.
It would be entirely unbiased and more reasonable to say simply that the assertion came from the president, is supported by the official transcript, and that no contrary, fact witness evidence has as yet been offered.
there are so many sleazy liars in our federal govt that PDJT really should try to return to his campaign promise to DRAIN THE SWAMP...
i know he has been trying to do it, no flames please,
it is just so hard and we need tens of thousands more alligators drained out of there! so many lies, so much oppression/regulation/taxation
it stinks to high heaven, we have lost our country and it hurts
If he had doubts, he wouldn’t have repeated it.
Why would Trump feel he had to say it.
Doesn’t it seem odd coming out of nowhere?
Or did the gentleman ask Trump if it should go down that way?
But we gotta look at the fact that Trump KNOWS he can trust no one almost, save Rudy and a few others
He’s NOT gonna mess up and say something that is real ammo for the left.
He’s too shrewd.
Sondland isnt a mind reader. Of course, he cant know that Trump was telling the truth when he said no quid pro quo during the conversation in question.
Democrat kangaroo court logic: Trump said no quid pro quo. Just because he said it isn’t proof that it was true. Lack of proof is proof of guilt. Impeach!

msnbc had one of their “ experts” on today and they were discussing Rudy doing investigative work on behalf of President Trump. They all agreed that President Trump was in charge of the CIA and FBI and if any investigation needed to be done they must do it. Yeah, right.
I don’t believe this is about PDJT telling someone there was no quid pro quo in the phone conversation.
As I have read from the beginning, Sondland was saying that Trump had directed his diplomatic representatives that there would be no quid pro quo offered for anything they were asking Ukraine to do.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
They only offer Schiff's parody and the third-hand representations of what so-called whistle blowers supposedly have said. They sift through private testimony in their desperate witch hunt, praying to their god for a PDJT high crime and/or misdemeanor upon which to hang their impeachment hats.
Under the scrutiny in the light of day, this impeachment narrative is absolutely doomed.
Will calls for violence be their next resort?
Definitely.
Had Trump said “yes, there is” it would be PROOF of a quid pro quo. If he says “no, there is not”, it’s clearly proof there is.
Only in America.
No, not “[o]nly in America.”
They experienced it in Solzhenitsyn’s Soviet Union, too, and elsewhere in history. That cunning liar Satan and his minions have been around many millennia.
Audacious lying is not to new to the world with this breed of 21st century Socialists.
Our society has been dumbed down through Ivory Tower academics’ concerted efforts that have trickled down to indoctrinate the youth. A whole new generation knows little of dealing with evidence and proof while its more facile practitioners quickly pass away.
We need to return to more classical education, logic, debate and meritorious argumentation.
Trump said it before the phone call didn’t he.
He said it in response to the assumption the Taylor guy jumped to about why aid was being delayed.
And there was no quid pro quo in the phone call.
And President Z said he didn’t feel any pressure.
And other reports indicate that Ukraine didn’t even realize the aid had been held up.
At some point with no evidence of quid pro quo, and with substantial evidence of no quid pro quo, you have to give the President the benefit of the doubt.
Unless your a democrat, and then you see crimes everywhere regardless of the evidence because boo hoo you lost.
