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.

I’m going to need a glass of wine and two Advil soon, but TY!

[milagro]

LOL!!!

[redshawk]

NY gal up

[maggief]

Stefanik up!

[kabar]

Drudge jumped the shark. He is dead to me.

Quigley compares the whistleblower to someone who pulls the fire alarm. Hence no need to investigate him. Perhaps the guy who pulled the fire alarm is the one who set the fire.

[Political Junkie Too]

Not meant to ramble, just devise a scenario in answer to a question on how the House can impeach without the Senate taking it up.

I believe that...especially with Vindman seeding the April phone call read out with stuff that wasn't talked about...

The good news in all of this is that the sheep are being separated from the goats. The bad news is that there are more goats than most people imagined.

[cuban leaf]

His answers to Stefanik questions should do one of two things:

1. Cause the democrats to call him a bald faced liar.
2. End this.

Nothing else makes sense.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Just so you know, I’ve never posted anything to Youtube. Yet now I’m banned. ..

How did they find you?

[a little elbow grease]

It makes no difference to Schiff if people like or not his rule changes ..... this is his show, his stage, and his voice to be heard ..... his job is to frame it all according to their plan for Impeachment and just keep it going.

________________

I hate that guy (Schiff) more than nearly anyone on earth.

[Hojczyk]

It is the headlines in the Media ...not Drudge....

It is all been scripted they want to get Trumps poll numbers down..

And hope the GOP senators will cave..

Do not think that the Senate would like to get rid of Trump...

They have done zero to defend him it is so quiet..

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Ken Starr now makes his money by running his mouth on TV.

Like so, so many others.

They want the money.

There’s no accountability to it, you just get paid to be provocative and run your mouth to fill segments.

It’s not real.

[dfwgator]

I expect the Rats to go for "The Chewbacca Defense" before too long...

"Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must impeach!"

[cuban leaf]

Swallwell now.

Are there ducks in the chamber?

[NohSpinZone]

The president just spoke to the fake news and repeated the testimony Sondland gave verbatim “I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. And that is the last thing from the president of the United States on this.”

OK, so what else are we talking about here?

[goldstategop]

Trump is innocent. But innocent men have been lynched before in the history of our country.

Democrats impeach because they can. If they cared about the truth; they would never have held these hearings in the first place.

I’m not a Debbie Downer - Trump will beat them and history will vindicate him.

Democrats already look small, petty and vindictive. Let them own impeachment.

[RummyChick]

there was an interesting moment where a question could have been interpreted as Vindman was the whistleblower (because of the way the sentence was said...like without a comma) and the lawyer yesterday quickly piped up

made me think vindman is the whistleblower

[kiryandil]

Saving the heavy guns for last. Good.

[milagro]

Could only catch a little of Sondland’s testimony this morning, but his body-language seemed waayyy to “squirmy” to me.
Then, after hearing a little of what he said, I knew there was little hope he would be a strong defender of our President!

[pnz1]

Yes, it was Morrison’s lawyer I believe.
