That's an interesting interpretation. Did you read his opening statement, by chance?No quid pro quo. Sondland confirmed it.

Yep. It left out the most important information of the day.That's an interesting interpretation. Did you read his opening statement, by chance?
The questioning by Castor is also painfulOnce again, questioning by the committee members is really painful. They should eliminate this part and just have the staff lawyers do all the questioning.
I suppose we should have figured this out by now, but it appears that unless Trump uttered the words "this is a quid pro quo" you would disbelieve anything negative about this whole incident.No quid pro quo. Sondland confirmed it.
As I understand there is no subpoena and no lawsuit any moreI guess wait for the ruling in Bolton’s lawsuit.
I went out and picked up dog poop instead of listening to him. 100% true.Good lord how can anyone stomach Jordan
Did you read the part where he stated "There was a quid pro quo." ? Did you also follow the testimony in which Sondland stated that he was instructed by President Trump to do what Giuliani wanted, and Giuliani informed him of the quid pro quo"?Yep. It left out the most important information of the day.
SEE? NO QUID PRO QUO!!’I suppose we should have figured this out by now, but it appears that unless Trump uttered the words "this is a quid pro quo" you would disbelieve anything negative about this whole incident.
Guy is a real American hero unless you root for uniforms in this mockeryJordan is awesome
Hmmm. I had not heard that.As I understand there is no subpoena and no lawsuit any more
SCHIFF:No quid pro quo. Sondland confirmed it.
Wrong. Not one witness has testified that Trump told them aid was defendant on investigation into Crowdstrike or Burisma. Seems like that would be important to try and impeach Trump don't you think? In fact, the only witness with direct contact to Trump testified Trump told him I don't want anything from Ukraine. Slam Dunk nothing burger.I suppose we should have figured this out by now, but it appears that unless Trump uttered the words "this is a quid pro quo" you would disbelieve anything negative about this whole incident.
I do actually.Guy is a real American hero unless you root for uniforms in this mockery
See my statements to Moops.Did you read the part where he stated "There was a quid pro quo." ? Did you also follow the testimony in which Sondland stated that he was instructed by President Trump to do what Giuliani wanted, and Giuliani informed him of the quid pro quo"?
IIRC it was withdrawn after the Kupperman hearing was only going to be Dec 6Hmmm. I had not heard that.
I don't gamble at all but is there a way to take the field in that bet? I would think a savvy gambler would take that bet.Anyone who thinks today’s testimony is a nothingburger ... is probably right.
At electionbettingodds.com, Trump’s chance of being reelected is currently ~40%, same as it’s been for many months.
Hoosiers, Seahawks, Mariners, and anyone playing Purdue.Guy is a real American hero unless you root for uniforms in this mockery
Or, you know, provide proof of wrong doing might be a good strategy for DemsAll you need to do at some point in the middle of your criminal efforts is say “don’t do this” and you’re all good.
Do you believe there was a quid pro quo but it just wasn't Trump's doing?Wrong. Not one witness has testified that Trump told them aid was defendant on investigation into Crowdstrike or Burisma. Seems like that would be important to try and impeach Trump don't you think? In fact, the only witness with direct contact to Trump testified Trump told him I don't want anything from Ukraine.

or unless you believe in actually stopping sexual abuse occuring in athletic programs you may be involved with but hey whatever floats your boat take that to the bank brohansGuy is a real American hero unless you root for uniforms in this mockeryJordan is awesome
It's an obvious lie because it completely contradicts Trump's own words in the "transcript" of his so-called perfect phone call ("I want you to do us a favor...").This was the last thing you guys were hoping to hear on this call, come on now. It invalidates the entire Democrat argument.Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 4m4 minutes ago

I wish people would stop cherry picking half of Trump's statement. No quid pro quo...BUT tell Zelensky to do the right thing.No quid pro quo. Sondland confirmed it.
It could be possible Rudy instructed it. However, that is extremely hard to believe when Zelensky has said repeatedly that he didn't feel pressure at all or was under duress.Do you believe there was a quid pro quo but it just wasn't Trump's doing?
But he did say Giuliani said so, right?Not one witness has testified that Trump told them aid was defendant on investigation into Crowdstrike or Burisma.
Hey, show some respect for Funkhouser's little brother!Extortion sounds kind of scary, I had to look it up to see what it means. Stewart
He should be thrown out of office too for having the education of a 3rd grader.
Agreed this is painful to watch. So was Mueller in front of Congress. Partisan politics these days unfortunately. When the next Dem is President you can expect phony impeachment proceedings unfortunately.I wish people would stop cherry picking half of Trump's statement. No quid pro quo...BUT tell Zelensky to do the right thing.
Hmnm. I wonder what the right thing was? Could it be announcing investigations?
Was aide withheld? Yes or no.
These gymnastics to claim no wrong doing are painful to watch.
Just bet "No" on the question of whether Trump will be reelected. It'll cost you 59 cents, and if you win, you get a dollar (for each share).I don't gamble at all but is there a way to take the field in that bet? I would think a savvy gambler would take that bet.
What else can Zelensky say? Seriously. Ukraine is dependent upon continued US aid and support. He wants to stay on Trump's good side, so he has no choice to parrot Trump's "No pressure" meme.It could be possible Rudy instructed it. However, that is extremely hard to believe when Zelensky has said repeatedly that he didn't feel pressure at all or was under duress.
Ukraine knew their money was frozen.It could be possible Rudy instructed it. However, that is extremely hard to believe when Zelensky has said repeatedly that he didn't feel pressure at all or was under duress.
Exactly. He wanted noting from Ukraine. I personally want there to be some connection for a quid pro quo or evidence that an investigation of the Bidens started because there needs to be.I want to understand you. Are you suggesting that when President Trump said "I want nothing" and "no quid pro quo", that means there wasn't one?
They were too busy with Benghazi and her emails to go after Obama last time aroundAgreed this is painful to watch. So was Mueller in front of Congress. Partisan politics these days unfortunately. When the next Dem is President you can expect phony impeachment proceedings unfortunately.
Unlikely, as there were no impeachment proceedings under Obama (or at least none that taken seriously by anyone in either party).Agreed this is painful to watch. So was Mueller in front of Congress. Partisan politics these days unfortunately. When the next Dem is President you can expect phony impeachment proceedings unfortunately.
Of course Zelensky is going to say this. He knows POTUS is crucial in continuing to support him. What else would you expect him to say?It could be possible Rudy instructed it. However, that is extremely hard to believe when Zelensky has said repeatedly that he didn't feel pressure at all or was under duress.
If you take the approach that Sondland says Trump never *personally told him to set preconditions for meeting or aid, then Sondland also states that he came to learn this was the case because Trump did *personally direct him and the others to talk to Rudy, who *was pushing the two probes.Exactly. He wanted noting from Ukraine. I personally want there to be some connection for a quid pro quo or evidence that an investigation of the Bidens started because there needs to be.
Especially since Yovanovitch testified that the Obama administration gave her talking points for her 2015 confirmation hearing in case Hunter Biden’s corruption came up.
But your statement ignores several facts. The most important one is this: President Trump instructed Sondland to do what Giuliani wanted. Giuliani demanded a quid pro quo. The two issues that Giuliani raised for the quid pro quo were the same two issues that President Trump raised on the July 25 phone call that you see nothing wrong with.See my statements to Moops.
My constituents are extorting me to vote for impeachment or else they are threatening to vote me out!Extortion sounds kind of scary, I had to look it up to see what it means. Stewart

That has never been adequately explained anytime that one has questioned the assertion that Zelensky says there was no pressure.Of course Zelensky is going to say this. He knows POTUS is crucial in continuing to support him. What else would you expect him to say?
But there’s not. There should have been an investigation into the Bidens though.If you take the approach that Sondland says Trump never *personally told him to set preconditions for meeting or aid, then Sondland also states that he came to learn this was the case because Trump did *personally direct him and the others to talk to Rudy, who *was pushing the two probes.
That would be the connection.
