'Kay well if Trump didn't have a cardiac event the other day that's definitely not going to be the explanation for his return to the hospital today.

Is it just me or is Sondland having way too much fun throwing Trump and team under the bus?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 20 November 2019 14:58 (four years ago) link
Who knows what will come of this, but Sondland seems to really understand the concept of having "fuck you" money.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 20 November 2019 14:59 (four years ago) link
ha from wiki right now.
Gordon David Sondland (born July 16, 1957)[1][2] is the United States Ambassador to the European Union.[3] He is also the founder and former chairman of Provenance Hotels and co-founder of the merchant bank Aspen Capital. He was a major donor to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and testified to Congress in the Trump–Ukraine scandal. On 20th November 2019, he metaphorically threw Donald Trump and Rudolph Giuliani- the Russian puppets- under the bus, set it on fire and lobbed a grenade inside for good measure.

I would love to send Ambassador Sondland, a really good man and great American, to testify, but unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2019
....to see. Importantly, Ambassador Sondland’s tweet, which few report, stated, “I believe you are incorrect about President Trump’s intentions. The President has been crystal clear: no quid pro quo’s of any kind.” That says it ALL!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2019

what a hapless rich doof. question is why didn't he say all this in the closed door testimony
― akm, Wednesday, 20 November 2019 15:15 (four years ago) link
He thought he could get away with lying
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 20 November 2019 15:21 (four years ago) link
Easy -- probably figured there was a 'let's all cough and not say anything' approach. But after he got specifically named too many times, even his initial 'revision' wasn't enough; the multiple Kiev cafe conversation confirmations had his number in the end. Better to do this now and be done with it.

This is also giving a good glimpse into the challenges of working with this particularly challenged president. Short of quitting, what are you gonna do? He's a stupid, corrupt crook, you do the best you can, right? (Basically the Stupid Nuremberg Defense to this mess's Stupid Watergate.)

I just hope that when this is all done, and the dust has settled, we finally get to the bottom of what happened in 2016.
