Yeah, Sondland DEFINITELY said there was a quid pro quo. 

Quote

“Was there a ‘quid pro quo?’” Sondland — a close Trump ally and longtime GOP donor — said in his opening remarks to the House Intelligence Committee. “The answer is yes.”

So hearsay, assumption, and opinion is more damaging than direct evidence?  I heard a Democrat Rep mention that, it really sounded absurd.  The simple point is that nothing new came out of yesterday than a week or so when Sondland amended his closed door testimony where he said he felt there was pressure in order to get the meeting.  The big problem the Dems had with this witness is that he was tying his opinion of pressure of starting an investigation to a meeting, and not anything political such as damage to Biden.  In the end, the meeting occurred, the Ukraine got the aid, and nothing was received in return related to politics, the relationship with the Ukraine appears to be getting stronger, so Sondland’s fear of damage was unfounded.  Regardless, write up the articles of impeachment and take a vote, I am sure it will have no impact to Warren, Sanders, etc., to be off the campaign trail for months.

For those that are feeling a sense of deja vu, here is the duplicate thread.  It had fallen back to page 5.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner Grills Sondland: No One On This Planet Told You Aid Was Tied To Investigations?
 

Republicans at Wednesday's impachment inquiry hearing emphasized that President Trump never said the military aid to Ukraine was contingent on investigations into Burisma and Huntr Biden.

GOP Rep. Mike Turner asked witness Gordon Sondland, the US Ambassador to the EU: "No one on this planet told you that this aid was tied to investigations. Yes or no?"

Gordon Sondland: "Yes."

.

.

Sondland said he was "presuming" that is what Trump meant.

The testimony yesterday was not any different than the testimony with amendments behind closed doors.  If you read back through the linked thread from November 5th, the debate is the same and the leftist media headlines are the same in their context.

And quite the opposite of the videos of the testimony publicly viewable.  Sondland clearly stated that Trump stated he wanted nothing from the Ukraine.

odd he is getting all these threats from the tolerant left. I though his testimony put the nail in Trumps coffin according to the lame stream press.

Just reading that article, so are the Dems trying to intimidate a witness?

Is Trump impeached yet?
