i'm no conspiracy theorist, but that had 'setup' written all over in in bold caps, 64 pitch, red

Got him on video, and there will probably be dna if needed.

According to David Holmes’s opening statement obtained by @mkraju and @jeremyherb, Holmes could hear Sondland tell Trump on the phone that President Zelensky “loves your ass.”

Trump responded “So, he’s gonna do the investigation?”

“Sondland; “He’s gonna do it."

Listened to quite a bit of today's proceeding in the car. Thought Madam Ambassador did a great job.

Republicans are mad that Holmes testimony is private. Not sure why they would want this public. I mean, he will testify soon but lol

most recent Muhlenberg pollis interesting

We don’t like anybody but will vote Biden

I'd be so embarrassed to be a Republican these days...

Of course, one would have to have a modicum of decency to be embarrassed.

Y'all remember when jerseyhoya posted 6 - 8 weeks ago that Sondland could sink Trump? Well, gather around children.

Why would he even testify at this point

A subpoena?

I do appreciate the republicans trying to ram Elise Stefanik down our collective throats.

Because he's testifying next week in front of the committee? I dunno. Die in jail or go down with the ship. Seems like an easy choice.

Just did a search - was less than four weeks ago. Every week feels like a month. It's amazing how fast stuff moves.

I am less sanguine about the GOP in Congress turning on Trump than I was a month ago because it feels like they're getting buried in their own bullshit, but an awful lot of GOP senators are holding their tongues, which is at least a little optimistic.

If Sondland looks at what happened to Stone today and wakes up and decided to tell the full truth it could be really effing interesting.

I am not really that much about it, I guess this is there diversity play. Among a full country club of angry white men, there is our girl. Suburban women take note!

Could be the Senate simply just feels it easiest to defend him for the weeks when they will have to and not interested in adding more weeks to that burden. But yeah, I'm with you.

Outside Graham I'm not sure many have said anything.

I wonder if she realizes she’s a mascot. She makes Hillary seem likable.

Following the coup in Bolivia, government forces are murdering indigenous protesters. This is no surprise, since the new acting president Anez has previously called for ethnic cleansing of indigenous people. The US has blood on its hands in Latin America again.

I didn’t know they jailed people for not complying with subpoenas

Roger Stone is going to jail for lying to Congress, which Sondland has already done once so far.
