Someone else arrested. This guy turned himself in, so he might be cooperating?

So happy that this is another “Florida Man”

Somehow its supposed to mean something that Sondland checked with Trump. Of course he did. Some other guy tells him that Trump is wanting Ukrainian corruption investigated for political reasons. I assume he didn’t agree that this should be done. How the heck is he supposed to find out if this is true? He’s going to contact the WH and ask them if they are pushing an investigation for political purposes.
How else is he going to check this out?
And yet the fake media pretends this is a real finding.

Trump’s supporters have pointed to Sondland’s “no quid pro quo” IM as an independent voice proving Trump did nothing wrong.

If Sondland testifies that Trump dictated the “no quid pro quo” IM, that’s another Trump defense down the drain. So yes, it means something.

It’s big, but its actually very simple. Two Russians with criminal intent in the Ukraine hire Giuliani and start giving (illegal) donations to a flock of Republican politicians. Trump then gives Giuliani permission to take over US foreign policy in the Ukraine pushing all the professionals to the side.

When was it that Lindsey Graham turned into a complete Trump bootlicker? 2017?

Except the fact that he had to ask Trump if there was a quid pro quo signifies that he did not know of the existence of one…otherwise he wouldn’t have had to ask Trump if he knew there was.

Demon · 2019-10-16T21:01:29.040Z

Or, it could mean that he was letting Trump know there were suspicions and Trump told him what to say.

How do you know what Sundland asked Trump? All I’ve seen about this are leaks that Sondland and Trump conferred and Trump told him to reply the there was no quid pro quo.

If you have “facts”, what is your source e?

Additionally, we learn today of Sondland conducting State Department business on an unsecured personal phone.

I would expect Hillary-level denunciations, but I’m not seeing any.

I wonder why that is?

DougBH · 2019-10-16T21:13:10.508Z

What office is Sondland running for? Feel free to denounce him…actually you just did. Nobody gains anything by denouncing Sondland on that.

The “fact” involved is the report that his testimony was that he got the information from Trump, of course, and that he had no personal knowledge of whether it was true or not. Its the “fact” that was reported in the papers.
How the heck would Trump have just happened to call him up and say “you know, I don’t have a quid pro quo involved in that Ukraine thing- have a nice day”. Of course he called the WH.

Conclusion you made up a “fact” about Sondland asking Trump what was going on. I could make up my own “fact” in which Sondland says to Trump, “We’re up the creek big guy… what do you want me to say?” But let’s stick to hat’s known

Sondland was an Ambassador representing the Untied States. As surprising as that might seem to some people, such a role comes with responsibilities. Your unwillingness to be concerned about his lack of concern for security shows what utter hypocrisy lies at the heart of all the criticism of Hillary Clinton’s security lapses.

Good god.

When you thought the clownshow couldn’t get clownier, in comes the volkswagen bug with 32 Florida clowns in it.

I’m not his boss. Its not my job to be concerned about how he handles his job. Its idiotic to think I would be concerned about it.

This is how people shed themselves of their responsibility for the people they put in power.

At least it’s a tacit admission that something is wrong, which is an improvement.

Okay, substitute Vice President Biden for Ambassador Sondland. You’re not his boss and its not your job to be concerned about how he handles his job.

Why are you posting in a Politics forum?

DougBH · 2019-10-16T21:47:35.996Z

Maybe you put Sondland in power. I didn’t.

DougBH · 2019-10-16T21:48:17.202Z

You are confusing an ambassador with a VP running for President. If Sondland did something wrong, there are people whose job it is to care and to take care of it. He is not running for office so far as I know.
And, by the way, just how concerned were you with what Hillary did? You seem awfully concerned about an ambassador.

When I was given my briefings for the Top Secret and then the several “Special” clearances that I worked under, no one mentioned that the obligation to protect sensitive information varied as a function of what job I held. And my job was a lot less senior and important than an Ambassador.

This sliding scale based on job title is new one to me.

Ohhhh, yes you did. You elected the man who took a million dollars from Sondland for his inaugural committee and then appointed him Ambassador.

Yeah but that “Vee Dub” would have some fine wheels, paint job and sweet tinted windows coming from Florida especially south Miami!
