The U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, intends to tell Congress this week that the content of a text message he wrote denying a quid pro quo with Ukraine was relayed to him directly by President Trump in a phone call, according to a person familiar with his testimony.

Sounds similar to “they were discussing Russian orphans”.....

Epstein On Welcome Back, Kotter had better luck with notes signed by “Epstein’s Mother........




Similar from another source w/o paywall:

Ambassador to E.U. to testify he doesn'''t know why Ukraine aid was held up




Well aged post:

Ukraine president says 'no blackmail' in phone call with Trump

LOL!!

So now the media is spinning the testimony BEFORE it's even presented. This has to be the ultimate in cherry-picked testimony.

Oh well, we know that Schiffty won't release the full transcript of the hearing...just like he refused to release the full transcript of ever single previous hearing.
 
I knew I could count on you two; spoiler :alert: , I got the response order backwards.........

You post a link where anonymous sources tell us what the guy is going to say before he says it. We wont get to hear what he says because the interview will be held in secret. And what is claimed to be his testimony is meaningless. What would you like to discuss here?
 
If you read the text conversation that's the guy that says "NO, WE ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT DOING THE CRIME THAT WE ARE DOING RIGHT NOW, GOT IT?"

Let’s start with DJT crafting his own narrative before the facts come to light; not like this would be the first time. You two should look into one of the synchronized sports teams......


The ousted Ukraine Ambassador’s hearing was held “behind closed doors” also; the whole works leaks like a sieve.

So Sondlan called Trump to ask if there was a quid pro quo and Trump said no. Am I basically getting this latest 'blockbuster' report right?

That's the problem...these hearing are held "behind closed doors". Transparency? I think not.

And it's not leaking like a sieve...it is very carefully filtered leaking.

Right. These people are testifying for 9 hours and we get a couple of sentences. And liberals are fine with this. The left just loves to not know.

Given the level of spin that accompanies many of the bits of information on this issue, the most prudent line for those seeking facts is that of waiting. Time is on the side of those seeking truth. Just as the facts surrounding the Nixon and Clinton impeachments are now readily available, so shall it be in this current instance.

Meanwhile, those wishing to sharpen their knowledge of errors in logic can practice using the speculation and comments of those supporting both sides. Another good mental exercise is deconstructing some of the 'talking points' floating around. [Ed.: This last is also useful in the gun debate. The 'truisms' which continue to arise, zombie-like, even when debunked time and again, are recommended for study.]
 
While you are in the middle of banging a truck stop hooker it is really bad form to call up your wife on the cell phone and tell her you love her.

Of course, I have no doubt Trump could pull that off with ease.

If you kept up with the timeline, and didn’t relay of right wing media for your “news”, you would understand how incriminating this is.

Trump didctated this to Sondland AFTER Guliani blew the whole thing up on cable TV. He’s working a talking point. It’s a clumsy attempt to cover up after the fact.
 
Are there stupid people left in our country that don't realize there is a mafia in our White House?

So Sundlan has no first hand knowledge of anything then. Great witness.

Hi! Easy with the spin, soldier. Your statement suggests that what President of the United States of America Donald Trump says to someone isn't 'anything'.

Regards.

Isn't that what's been happening thus far? Not only that, what is leaking from those testimonies, the headlines surrounding them, are straight forward anti Trump. Why so secretive, why not tell the entire story? Where are the transcripts?
Look at the headlines in the newspapers, or follow the news t/o the day, and tell me if what you read and hear is objective.

you're not plugging your ears and covering your eyes hard enough. if you do that and wish really hard while yelling "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU," the iodined idiot becomes magically innocent in your very own special alternate reality bubble.

You and Sack of Schiff like making up things. That's not what Volker said or is going to say. You just fabricated it just like Schiff fabricated Trump's phone call. :lamo Why do you lie?

The Democrats THINK the Mueller report fizzled because they lost control of the political narrative. The real problem was that they lost control of the facts; Trump did not conspire.
So, they are making sure they do not lose control of the political narrative this time around.
Will they lose control of the facts? I don't know. But even that article linked points out a more plausable, and benign, scenario.

Or it accurately describes the scenario.
After all, weaponry was not withheld, there was nothing stated for such a quid pro quo, and the Ukrainian president has said he didn't feel blackmailed at all.

Speaking of releasing the full transcript ... how about we take a look at the full transcript of the phone call? Oh, that's right! It hasn't been released.

Why aren't you busting the president's balls for not releasing the full transcript of the "perfect call"?
