Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, will testify before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, Nov. 20, as part of the impeachment probe into President Donald Trump.

Shifty apparently changed the rules
Schiff is a dictator. House resolution authorizing the kangaroo court gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wants.
The Dems want to vote on impeachment before Thanksgiving and before release of the IG report. The statement by Sondland about it being a quid pro quo.
If so, it would fit into my theory of pushing this out to next October.
There must be some procedure available for the House to impeach the President and then never actually refer those charges to the Senate.There is, but the timing does not favor the Democrat strategy.
The procedure would be to vote to impeach in the late stages of the Congressional session (say, October 2020 before the election), hoping that the October Surprise is enough to keep Trump from winning. Then the Democrats would delay the Senate (which would likely go into recess until after Thanksgiving) until it adjourns sine die at the end of the year, claiming a lame duck Senate shouldn't hold a trial on a President who just faced the voters.
By adjourning sine die, all business before the Senate would be deemed completed, and the articles of impeachment will expire with all other pending legislation. If Trump wins reelection in November 2020, the next House would have to start all over in January 2021.

Unfortunately, there is a LONG list of threats to our Constitutional Republic - foreign & domestic. Mostly, the latter.
A very, very long list.
Schiff is Dean Wormer.
+ 100
The cross examination will get people’s heads straight.
I have watched some of Sondland and cannot see any damage being done to the president. The cross examination will firm that up.
One of my favorite quotes on the state of affairs of the world. Carlin was mostly on the left but his eyes were wide open.
Anyone want to lay odds that a lunch break comes before repubs talk again?
For sure. Breaktime soon. The mics are calling Schiffs name
So the Rats can strategize?
Just saw Swalwell taking Beano.
They’ve got to have this chance to clear up whatever Repub counsel may have brought out, then break time to go out and have interviews.
Carlin lost the left when he did the queer stand up take
5 minute rounds are delayed because Schiff changed the rules on the fly to give himself and his counsel another 30 minutes first. He did that yesterday also for an additional 15 minutes. He BETTER NOT disallow more cross.
Assuming Democrats still control the House.
Could a lame duck Democrat House pass impeachment? Sure but it would have zero credibility and would be seen as a partisan stunt.
Wouldn’t even come to the Senate. New GOP House can withdraw the articles of impeachment.
Lol what kind of quack theory is this? Its actually all about testosterone. Testosterone promotes hair loss, you’ll see this in female body builders on T supplements, they get thinning hair. So bald men are naturally more macho not because of a sensitive reaction to being bald, rather to higher testosterone levels. People with great hair, like Mitt Romney, natural lilly livered cucks, who cower and surrender. Congratulations, you just gave me some respect for Sondland now, way to go.
Sondland stepped in it again. Opines that the testimony of Perry, Mulvaney, Pompeo, etc. would be helpful. Forget about executive privilege and current court cases re Bolton and Mulvaney.
Yep.
So CNN can prosthelytize.
