That proposed arrangement was pushed by Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal lawyer, who conveyed Trump's wishes to multiple administration officials. "Everyone," Sondland said repeatedly, "was in the loop. It was no secret." That also included Vice-President Mike Pence, he said. "He was being involved in a domestic political errand," Hill said of Sondland, "and we were being involved in national security foreign policy."
The July 25 date is significant: it's the same day Trump spoke by phone with Zelenskiy and pressed for an investigation of Joe Biden. Some Republican attacks struggled to land. After Rep. Jim Jordan suggested that Vindman's peers questioned his judgment, Vindman read from a glowing performance review that called him "brilliant" and "unflappable."
Yovanovitch left no doubt that she interpreted some of the Trump's cryptic comments about her -- "she's going to go through some things," he told Ukraine's president in the July phone call -- in the most chilling way.She said the effect of the president's comments "is very intimidating" not just for her but for others who might be similarly inclined root out corruption.
Then, according to David Holmes, a counsellor at the U.S. embassy in Kyiv, Sondland said he was going to call Trump to give him an update. The conversation Holmes overheard was loud -- and memorable."I then heard President Trump ask, `So, he's gonna do the investigation?' Ambassador Sondland replied that `he's gonna do it."' He said Sondland told Trump that Zelenskiy will do "anything you ask him to.
Hill said the unwillingness by some to accept Russia's role has profound consequences at a time when Russia's security services have "geared up to repeat their interference in the 2020 election." Putin, she said, deploys millions of dollars to "weaponize our own political opposition research and false narratives."
The witnesses were calm, cool and in control...but I enjoyed listening to Nunes better.
I watched the whole thing and stopped after Sondland. Nothing burger. I predicted 3 years ago that the left will purge their radicals through voting. I still predict and I think 2020 will give an indication of that.
Dems are gonna lose so bad. 🤣😂🤡
Yep, the Dems and their supporters everyday claim “that was a blockbuster day” or “a turning point day” or “disaster for Trump day”. When is it going to end? If they think any of the wack jobs running to go against Trump can beat him.......DREAM ON!
She had nothing to add other than Trump was mean to her BFF Yakunatunafish and everyone's mean to her old boss George Soros.
Must be in an alternate universe or something
That's 'domestic political errand' ... at least be accurate.
