WASHINGTON (AP) — Ambassador Gordon Sondland declared to impeachment investigators Wednesday that President Donald Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani explicitly sought a “quid pro quo” with Ukraine, leveraging an Oval Office visit for political investigations of Democrats. But he also came to believe the trade involved much more.

That's not even it. We had the info on Hunter and Joe....and the tape. We didn't need anything from Ukraine about them. It was all about the 2016 election that we needed from Ukraine and did they have a server.

And in fact, President Trump was merely filling in some voids that Zelensky might not know about. Hardly, quid pro quo...we were feeding Zelensky...he wasn't feeding us.

CNN was peddling it too.

He was specifically asked who told him, or what piece of direct evidence he had to say Trump demanded quid pro quo, he confessed he had just assumed he did. (assumed is not the actual word he used, but the other world was just another word meaning the same thing)

It was embarrassing, it was so bad.

The ranking minority leader on the panel, just ripped Schiff and up down and sideways. He was just brutal.

The word this witness used was presumed (instead of assumed).

He just made it up.

He’s what CNN refers to as a star witness, and he readily admitted he made up the premise Trump demanded a Quid Pro Quo. Aaaand, he forgot to mention he had a direct talk with Trump and Trump specifically told him he DID NOT want Quid Pro Quo.

Folks, this guy should do time for his lies here.

How does an “Illinois State Supreme Court” rule apply here?

He did, but he also said, he didn’t. QPQ about this, but not that....

This guy was all over the place! The only thing he knew for sure was that he had to catch a plane back to diplomat utopia.

Wonder what drugs he’s on.

@1. Re How can they publish such obvious lies and get away with it? Because they know their buying clients/media are far-left and anti- Trump, so they can write anything they want and sell it.

Secondly, AP went far-left about 30-40 years ago and never came back. Also abandoned the concept of “Context, facts, and logic”.
