Sondland is flooding the zone so Schiff can’t get to Trump

Sondland is signaling he will take the perjury rap that the Dems are gonna lay on him after he’s done, because he knows the pardon is right behind

[M-cubed]

that's one line of thought...but here's the scoop....

IT WILL BE A BROKERED CONVENTION!

(they already have it planned....as option 2....I have a lowly spy in the local Dem community...)

[StolarStorm]

Get him in and it will be easier for a trans (Michelle/Michael) to be Pres.

Here’s my problem with Rush: He’s first and foremost an entertainer, and I am convinced that if he could make more money as a liberal, then he would be the greatest liberal since POTUS Wilson. With that said, I appreciate that he fixed his mis-characterization of Starr’s comment.

“All four of Gordon Sondland’s lawyers are Democrat Donors.” @TuckerCarlson Despite this, big win today for Republicans!

[willk]

Rush is not a doofus. As you said he corrected his error. His error was because of the way it was reported even here on FR. Not his fault. Why would you call him a doofus? Next to Trump, there is no other person more commited to the survival of this country right now!

[maggief]

Oh, Starr back peddled.

[StolarStorm]

Trump wanted nothing from Ukraine but I want these traitorous rats to be prosecuted. Time to fight fire with fire. Take hits at us, we should hit back... harder. Unleash the dogs of war

[pnut22]

Thank you for your work.

“Here’s my problem with Rush: He’s first and foremost an entertainer,..”

Funny. That’s what my liberal ex-wife used to tell me. “If you want the real truth then you need to listen to NPR.”
Do you really think Rush would be this successful all these years if he was just an entertainer? Rush is a political genius. He ends up to being right so much that we trust his opinions. Michael Savage is entertaining but he is wrong and all over the place so much that I dont have time in my busy life to waste listening to him.

Ukranian Defense Secretary Alexander Semyon Vindman - is that who you mean?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I STRONGLY disagree!!! He is one of the finest, conservative patriots in our land!! GOD BLESS RUSH LIMBAUGH!!

[willk]

Just to be clear,that quote about NPR in my last reply to Labyrinthos was from my ex wife not Labyrinthos. Why isn’t there a way to edit on FR?

[hal ogen]

He deserves a fair trial and conviction with rope awaiting.

Off topic but check out this impromptu press conference. Trump gets Tim Cook to say the US economy is the strongest in the world. Excellent soundbite. Start at about 1:35 in the vid.

The President did want for Ukraine not Russia to be prime source of 2016 election hacks. Where 2020 election comes in is the suggestion that the President wanted the Ukrainian leader to state in public that he was investigating Burisma and Joe Biden’s son thereby tarnishing a strong 2020 Dem. candidate.

[stylin19a]

thanks.
It sure sounded like Sondland had no choice, based on his phraseology.
I can’t believe Jordan didn’t catch it.
Kinda fills in some of the blanks why he had chuckles\smirks and smiles. I wonder why he went along with it.

oh well.

I missed the next 2 mutts. Guess I’ll go look at the transcripts...

thanks again

later

The point got made. Check out the video at the link below =>

@SteveScalise
There it is folks!

Ambassador Sondland CONFIRMED that nobody on earth told him
@realDonaldTrump
was tying aid to investigations.

So this is all based on presumptions that turned out to be wrong.

Why is this impeachment circus still going on?

” I guess you are unaware that law enforcement — and the DA falls under that term — use informants...”

Yeah, I never knew that. Thanks Friend otherwise I would have been writing about it again with no idea. LOL
