So the interim ambassador can’t be trusted and his staff can’t be trusted so no wonder POTUS depended on Giuliani, an old and trusted friend, because it seem everyone in the State Department does nothing but run their mouths. What a bunch of amateurs, it’s embarrassing

1. Is it common practice for Ambassadors to call the President directly?

2. Is it common practice to use unsecured cell phones to talk to the President?

3. Is it common practice to talk to the President on an unsecured cell phone while in a public place?

4. Did he have the thing on speaker phone, or did the staffer just hear one side of the conversation?

5. Who called who?

It’s a reference from Ferris Bueller....

“My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who heard Trump calling Sondland. I guess it’s pretty serious.”

BTW, that actress, Kristy Swanson, is big-time MAGA.

The real big question is... How did Schiff for brains convince Nancy that this impeachment nonsense was going to be a bonanza for the Democrats?

They and their media friends are lemmings headed for a cliff and they are all too blind to see what a pile of hurt they are going to be in when this all collapses on them like a deck of cards. The American people aren’t quite as dumb as Schiff for brains presumes they are.

A real nice touch on the Republican side... Those posters and especially the one with the quote ‘If we don’t impeach’... ‘He will get reelected’. The lefty media tries not to show it but it comes through every now and then and it explains it all to a tee.

That’s funny. When I was a kid, my parents were on a party line out in the country. I used to listen to neighbor ladies gab all the time. We eventually got a “private line”.

Read the entire piece. The report of this second person who overheard is being reported by a third person who remains unidentified. Yet more hearsay.

Further the story absolutely trashes Sondland for his breach of security protocol on a multitude of occasions.

I lived in a rural county in Michigan in the 1980’s which still had a few party lines going.

I presume this Sondland guy won’t be questioned.

So the day after guy testified in public on TV that he heard one side of a conversation and thought it said something, another guy says “hey, i heard all that too”. Unless he said so before he heard it live on TV it’s meaningless gibberish from someone who wants to bolster shaky testimony by corroborating it with a fake “me too” story.

Just wait a day or two. More seditionist liars will emerge.

Yup, Rush said on his show it would be exactly like the Kavanaugh trial.

We should take a page from little Greta and just respond, “How dare you?”

They ought to be embarrassed. They deserve ridicule. They have nothing and they want to just declare themselves the winner. How dare they??

HEADLINE "HEARD"

Body of story "overheard"

The MSM is reprehensible

If I remember, it was difficult to call someone on the same party line. I think you had to dial the number and then hang up and wait for your phone to ring. We’ve come along way. Now, very few even have a landline. I still do for some reason.
