I guess but who knows. KNX1070 is a News Radio show out of Los Angeles. Pretty good but I consider them like the PBS of the radio

There was zero reason to ever apologize for that.  

 

Something that 95% of all straight males have said at least one or more times?  Gimme a break.

Since everything I have seen is that Independents are souring on Impeachment and that it is going badly for the Democrats. Rep. Ted Lieu has said that impeachment can go away if the President just apologizes for what he did.

Sounds to me like Sondland just exonerated Trump.  Schiff didn't look very happy with his star witness.

My point exactly.  Bunch of snowflakes whining over some macho bravado words that they themselves have said.  I specified men, but women do it all the time.  They are PROUD to talk about how they can use their sex to get anything they want.  A TRUE quid pro quo, not the imaginary democratic one.

Yes, let's impeach Trump.  QUICK!  Before any more stuffike this gets made public! Said several nervous democrats.

Am I watching some sort of different testimony than CNN?

 

Quote

(CNN) — US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland changed the course of the House impeachment inquiry Wednesday, over the span of several hours in front of the House Intelligence Committee with the television cameras rolling for a global audience.

 

In his opening statement, Sondland connected President Donald Trump directly to the "quid pro quo" trading Ukrainian investigations into Trump's political opponents for official actions, including a White House meeting. Sondland explicitly stated that "everyone was in the loop" about what was going on with the Ukraine foreign policy, implicating top Trump officials.

 

Sondland, a political appointee and hotel magnate with no background in government before joining the Trump administration, may have just given Democrats the most damning evidence so far in the inquiry. Rep. Adam Schiff, the California Democrat who's the chairman of the Intelligence Committee, called Sondland's testimony "a seminal moment in our investigation."

Yes.  Btw, this is old news as last week when Sondland amended his closed door testimony we heard the same caterwauling by the Leftist media that died off very quickly.

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Coup’ concerns suddenly don’t seem so far-fetched
 

• By Victor Davis Hanson Tribune News Service (TNS) Nov 20, 2019 Updated 12 hrs ago

 

For most of the last three years, Donald Trump’s critics have scoffed at supposed “conspiracy theories” that claimed a “deep state” of bureaucrats were aborting the Trump presidency. We have been told the word “coup” is hyperbole that reveals the paranoid minds of Trump supporters.

 

Yet oddly, many people brag that they are proud members of a deep state and occasionally boast about the idea of a coup.

 

Recently, former acting CIA chief John McLaughlin proclaimed in a public forum, “Thank God for the deep state.” Former CIA director John Brennan agreed and praised the “deep state people” for their opposition to Trump.

 

Far from denying the danger of an unelected careerist bureaucracy that seeks to overturn presidential policies, New York Times columnists have praised its efforts to nullify the Trump agenda.

 

On the first day of the impeachment inquiry, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff called his initial two witnesses, career State Department diplomats William Taylor Jr. and George Kent. Far from providing damning evidence of criminal presidential behavior, Taylor and Kent mostly confined themselves to three topics: their own sterling résumés, their lack of any firsthand knowledge of incriminating Trump action and their poorly hidden disgust with the manner and substance of Trump’s foreign policy.

Another VDH column.  Very informative and entertaining.

 

From Impeachment to the Debates — and Back Again
 

By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON November 20, 2019 11:47 PM

 

After three days of Adam Schiff’s impeachment inquiry, we are left with only the monotony. We know in advance all the questions, the subjective mood answers and bureaucratic mindset of the witnesses, the ensuing spin, and the congressional posturing.

 

In lieu of a Jaworski or Starr special prosecutor’s damning report, a White House tape, or even a blue dress, there is only “I assumed,” “I gathered,” “I presumed,” and “my personal belief is that” — without direct knowledge of impeachable wrongdoing or some smoking-gun email or document.

 

The next “star” witness, Ambassador Sondland, played perfectly the Janus consummate businessman — nodding first to Democrats, only then turning to grin at Republicans.

 

Sondland seemed at last to offer Schiff the chance to run out to announce to the captive press a proverbial MSNBC/CNN “bombshell.” But it was mostly a dud, with Sondland referencing a hoped-for Ukraine meeting in the White House (that never happened) for Ukrainian statements on corruption (that never happened), rather than a cutoff of U.S. military aid to Ukraine — at least according to Sondland’s “own presumption.” He even mentioned a “quid pro quo,” but that was focus grouped out to “bribery” days ago. (Sondland, like most major ambassadors, should be an expert in quid pro quos, given that it is a hallowed and bipartisan American tradition to sell off the most prestigious European ambassadorial slots to the most generous campaign donors.)

.

.

.

Two, Lt. Col. Vindman and Adam Schiff, both on the record (the former under oath) have stated that they did not know the identity of the whistleblower — the font of the entire impeachment inquiry.

 

Yet when asked for the identity of the second person to whom Vindman (possibly illegally) had leaked a classified presidential call, Vindman refused to answer — with Schiff jumping in to state that neither was going to reveal the whistleblower’s identify.

 

That was a circumlocutional admission that they both probably had lied and of course knew who the whistleblower was — contradicting their prior testimonies.

 

Otherwise, neither would have worried about identifying this second anonymous recipient of Vindman’s leak, though Vindman had eagerly revealed the other leak receiver as George Kent.

 

All this is unsustainable.
