Manu Raju @mkraju I obtained a copy of David Holmes' opening statement, saying that he heard Trump telling Gordon Sondland: "So, he's gonna do the investigation?" Sondland tells Trump: "He's gonna do it" and that Zelensky will do "anything you ask for."

Sondland responded Trump only cares about “big stuff.” When Holmes said that the Ukraine war was big, Sondland responded “‘big stuff’ that benefits the President, like the Biden investigation that Mr. Giuliani was pushing,” Holmes said.

His “phone was not on speakerphone, I could hear the President’s voice through the earpiece of the phone. The President’s voice was very loud and recognizable, and Ambassador Sondland held the phone away from his ear for a period of time, presumably because of the loud volume

That’s it? Where’s the proof of bribery? Obstruction? Quid pro quo? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?

Being a person of high integrity I eavesdropped on a phone call.

[janetjanet998]

Plus didn’t he say on the call he would?

All these people are interviewing for prime slots on the alphabet media, so they’ll trot out any unverifiable swill as a means to that end. Their biggest resume enhancement will be playing a role in the takedown of a president.

but the Republicans are not allowed share this information that CNN has access to?

Manu Raju @mkraju · 8m Sondland told Trump that Zelensky 'loves your ass,'" Holmes said, according to a copy of his opening statement obtained by CNN. "I then heard President Trump ask, 'So, he's gonna do the investigation?'”

This is going to do wonders for international relations.

How does CNN receive on opening statement in a closed door?
Adam Schiff.

[Popman]

and....?

[Titus-Maximus]

The sound you hear is that of TV clickers all over America changing the channel from this ridiculous boring show trial.

Good bye CNN

[janetjanet998]

And? I don’t know why every lib is having a climax on twitter over this ... does this mean Sondland lied or something?

[richardtavor]

Ciarmella is the guy that offed Epstein...that is why the Democrats have him in the witness protection program.

[beethovenfan]

Uh, and the crime is....??????

[scottinoc]

Next on the stand, these guys from the 80s. Their information is 4th-hand, but they're emphatic that Trump has been "messin around". They will further testify that Trump is "thinking up his white lies", "putting on his bedroom eyes", and most disturbing of all "says he's coming home but he won't say when"

[janetjanet998]

Maybe this is why

Sondland is caught in about as clear a lie as you will find. He told the committee he never discussed investigating Biden with anyone at the WH or State Dept. According to this testimony, he did both.

[livius]

The Dems don’t care that it makes us look like a banana republic and totally untrustworthy. That’s their stock in trade.

"Plus didn’t he say on the call he would?"

I don't see a date for this alleged call. Does anyone know when it actually took place? Holmes claims he heard what he thought was the President's voice through the earpiece of the phone. He wasn't even on the line, but making assumptions of whose voice he was hearing from across the room. He must have Superman's keep hearing.

"His phone was not on speakerphone, I could hear the President’s voice through the earpiece of the phone.'"

I did not see biden’s name mentioned.
