I'd also note that if I ever gave an opening statement similar to Nunes,' whereby I'd speak in pure rhetoric and hyperbole, I'd very likely be found in contempt, my entire opening struck, my law license in jeopardy, and possibly sitting in a jail cell if I didn't apologize and quickly change my tune.
Crazy to me that it's, at least to some extent, okay on the House floor.

Honestly, "I don't recall" is a perfectly acceptable answer for a witness to give if he doesn't know with certainty.

If you don’t take notes you just get to say I don’t remember.

I suspect everyone had a plan today that went out the window when they saw Sondland's opening statement.
In some ways the GOP may be better prepared, only because they get an extra 45 minutes to shift gears. I think the damage will be done before the GOP try to rehabilitate, but FoxNews will likely help their narrative with the GOP base.

Paul Ryan is on their board. Maybe he's thinking of a 2020 run with the full backing of Hanitiy and Co.FOXNEWS: FOLLOW LIVE: Sondland testifies ‘everyone was in the loop,’ implicates top echelon on Ukraine talks

All you have to do is say you are investigating Biden, Mr. Ukraine and you get the money. Capeesh?

Nothing in here that claims, let alone proves, @realDonaldTrump did anything improper. Sondland got way too cute and had too selective a memory in trying to make himself look good in opening, and he’s going to get chopped up for it...but that’s not the President’s problem.

just about time for the Barr DOJ to announce they are investigating Comey and McCabe some more.....

Listen to Sondland and you'll understand why America elected Donald Trump president to get rid of people like Sondland.
Psst - TRUMP HIRED SONDLAND....

You know what’s funny? John Dillinger used to say exactly that. He would proclaim, while pointing a gun at the teller “this ain’t a robbery. It’s a just redistribution of wealth!”

Key point from Sondland: Zelensky "had to announce the investigations, he didn't actually have to do them, as I understood it."
In other words, whether or not Ukraine actually investigated Biden/Burisma/2016 was less important to Trump than their *saying* they were being investigated. It wasn't about rooting out corruption, it was about publicizing information helpful to Trump.

The fact that the Senate will not remove him based on this should be everything anyone needs to know about whether the GOP supports the rule of law or the basic tenets of our system of government.
Assuming they don't remove him based on all of this, there will never be a Republican who gets my vote again.

Does he mean to get rid of people who will stand up and tell the truth? Even those he hired...

That or make sure the IG report goes out complete with a Barr summary/Trump spin making it sound worse than it actually is (like the Nunes memo about FISA stuff the last time).

The next story down on their mobile site is something about Maxine Waters.
Next one after that is about “the Russian Popeye” who had his bicep implants removed

Exactly...this is exactly why that opening statement should be a part of every Democrat's campaign website...they won't hold Trump accountable for that...what else will they let him get away with. Im talking candidates from POTUS to Senate and House candidates. This statement should be played over and over and over.

Trump has gotten rid of dozens of people he appointed so I say affirmative.
ETA probably because he was scared they would tell the truth and certainly because they wouldn't agree to perform illegal acts.

Just got back from a meeting. Is this as bad as you say or is this just echo chamber talk?
As someone smarter than me said (though I cannot recall who) - poorly paraphrased: "The GOP will abandon democracy before they abandon the GOP" or something to that effect. It is already visible with demographic change causing them to focus more on voter suppression and gerrymandering than actually gaining new voters.

If this is true, it kills any "corruption concern" arguments and confirms that it was a smear job attempt from the get go. And for that alone he's gotta go.
