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

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.

Which shows they have no reasoning abilities.
No way could Holmes provide any evidence Trump said these things or Sonland did - even if it were all true.
And, Holmes could be making it up, no way legally to know.
A prosecuter would be laughed out of court trying to use this as evidence.
The first part of cross examination should be a test of the witnesses hearing. Unless the restaurant was utterly silent it seems like it would be nearly impossible to hear the other side of a conversation unless the phone was set to speaker phone mode. Try it some time with your own phone and a couple of friends.
Holmes' story seems about as plausible as some of the witnesses dragged out for the Kavanaugh hearings. Not at all unless you are a kool-aid drinking Democrat.
