Two more White House officials skip impeachment depositions
The Hill ^ | 11 05 2019 | Juliegrace Brufke

Two administration officials did not appear Tuesday for scheduled testimony in the House impeachment inquiry into President Trump, making them the latest White House aides to skip planned depositions.

Wells Griffith, a special assistant to the president and senior director for international energy and environment on the National Security Council, did not appear for his Tuesday morning deposition. Michael Duffey, associate director for national security at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), was absent for his closed-door hearing slated for Tuesday afternoon.

The move came the same day House Democrats released transcripts of depositions with U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland and former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker.

Sondland revised his earlier testimony, saying in the latest version that the president’s dealings with Ukraine amounted to a clear quid pro quo.

revised testimony..... so he’s admitting that he lied the first time? It didn’t work the first time, so now he’s changing his story to see if this one sticks?

That’s OK, Schiff will just make up a transcript and read it for everyone, saying that’s what they would have testified.

Sondland revised his earlier testimony
Were you lying under oath then or are you lying under oath now?

I heard that Bolton is going to refuse to talk to the star chamber after all. Lou Dobbs probably called him up and cussed him out.

If President Trump is impeached it will be due to the Senate not helping having hearings. The Senate is a pile of shi! The House has them scared to death. America is finished unless we get control of the House and keep the Senate. Today will be a beginning or end.

The Schiff follies are bombing. As each day goes by the quicksand gets deeper for the gestapo hearings. Still waiting for the specific “high crime” and I’ve got the feeling I’ll grow old before I see it.

Absence makes Schiff’s farts smell fonder. He must be blowing a load because “he don’t get no respect”, not even in the bath-house.

Trump is playing cat and mouse with Schiff For Brains and the mouse in the White House is winning.
