Why is Sonderland upset with the President?

[pilgrim]

Seems he is protecting himself (jmho) and placing the blame on President Trump!

[dhs12345]

Because Trump is an upstart. How dare Trump run the foreign policy in Ukraine. It is not his responsibility.... oh, wait it is his responsibility.

[rktman]

Trump. Donald Trump.

[pilgrim]

Upsets my ‘somewhat’ and miss spelled his name.

Sondland not sonderland.

[MNJohnnie]

Directly contradicts his testimony of 2 weeks ago.

And again. SO WHAT? There is NO CRIME here.

Ukraine did not launch investigation and got the aid. so even if the clown assumed there Quid Pro Quo was being demanded it was never done. There is NO such crime as “quid pro quo”.

To start with the Ukrainians have all ready shot this lie dead. There is no truth to these accusation at the President. It a wholly make up attempt to distract and deflect from real criminal wrong doing by the Democrats in the Ukraine during Obama’s regime

Ukraine Foreign Minister: U.S. Aid, Investigations Were ‘Never’ linked

READ THE TRANSCRIPT you lying scumbags in the Fake News

https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf

Here is the problem for the Democrat Fascists and their toadies in the Fake New Media.

We will let them assume EVERYTHING is true and accurate in the “transcripts. We allow this nonsense of hearsay, feeling and assumptions to be allowed as “evidence”.

There is still no crime here.

If “Quid Pro Quo” or “bibery” or what ever they are lyinging call it today is a “Crime”, Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP.

Watch the video of him bragging about it.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/09/27/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html

The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did it would still need to be investigated to verify. In either case Trump is not guilty of anything.

It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions. .

Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House

[DrewsMum]

This is getting clearer and clearer.
Giuliana is the rotten apple here!
Trump should never have trusted him.
I haven’t been able to stomach him for YEARS.

I think he’s saying trump wants this or that and it’s what GIULIANI wants. And Trump trusted him.

[Skywise]

“ I later came to believe that the resumption of security aid would not occur until there was a public statement from Ukraine committing to the investigations of the 2016 election and Burisma, as Mr. Giuliani had demanded.”

He was never told that - he assumed it.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

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

[mmichaels1970]

“Our only interest was to advance longstanding U.S. policy and to support Ukraine’s fragile democracy.”

The President is in charge of foreign policy. Not Sondland. We actually VOTED for the President....not for ambassador Sondland..he got exactly ZERO votes.

[RatRipper]

So if I am corrupt in my relations with a foreign country, I can run for President and be shielded from investigation??????

BULL$H!+

Time to release some vicious common sense on these corrupt creeps. ROOT OUT THE CORRUPTION . . . I DON’T CARE WHERE IT LEADS. IT IS CLEAR THAT TRUMP IS NOT CORRUPT!

[mmichaels1970]

“I tried diligently to ask why the aid was suspended, but I never received a clear answer. In the absence of any credible explanation for the suspension of aid, I later came to believe

So he doesn't KNOW anything. And nobody TOLD him anything that lead to his "belief".

[rktman]

Quid pro quo statute? Buhler?

[lastchance]

Sondland’s personal view is not germane to what we know are the facts of the matter.

[Mozzafiato]

Conditions should already be in place on ALL foreign aid to every country. If it isn’t, I would consider it government malpractice. This is all a farce.

[heshtesh]

Sondland answered, “yes.”

Good then step to the forefront and explain to the rest of us what exactly constitutes the Quid Pro Quo, i’ll be patiently waiting...…..

[1Old Pro]

“I remember I was at a restaurant in Kiev, and I have no reason to doubt that this conversation included the subject of investigations.” Sondland said he knew that investigations were “important to President Trump.” However, Sondland said he has no recollection of discussing the Bidens on that phone call. He did not dispute other witness accounts of the call, which Trump said he does not remember. “I know nothing about that,” Trump told a news conference on Nov. 13.

More hearsay - is there a transcript or is this form a bad memory?

[Buttons12]

Well that settles it. Never mind that investigating corruption and the 2016 election are good things to look into, and Giuliani isn’t Trump. The word of whatshisname is final!

[Texas Eagle]

However, Sondland said he has no recollection of discussing the Bidens on that phone call.

"Oh, that's very different."

"Never mind."

[Coronal]

It looks like he’s pulling a reverse Frank Pentangeli.

[Magnatron]

The most frustrating part of all of this is that even if Trump did everything that he’s being accused of...

...EVERYTHING...

There’s NOTHING WRONG with what he did or said.

He is perfectly within his rights as president to request an investigation into corruption — no matter WHO the offenders are — and perfectly within his right to hold taxpayer monies until his demands are met.

This is infuriating.
