I know man, what a dirtbag! Check this out...

Sondland's nomination received bipartisan support during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on June 21, 2018.[13] Both Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) testified in support of Sondland.[14] Sen. Wyden suggested that Sondland’s "family history is both fascinating and instructive as to why he has the experience and understanding to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the E.U.," noting how his Jewish parents fled Nazi Germany before coming to the United States.[13][15]

This text was reported yesterday as the guy says it's crazy to withhold for political campaign and that the answer was we should stop the back and forth.

I simply don't believe a fricking word that is reported by any msm outlet. If there is a text or call or email or whatever just fricking show it to me so I can read it, idgaf what you want me to think it means....

fricking liars can rot in hell

Funny how that got lost in translation.

I suspect this is why Volker's interview did not go well for the Dems yestersay.

Taylor: As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign.

That's damning. Let's not forget Trump (publicly) brought China into his political campaign yesterday.

I imagine if Obama did any of this, republicans would mostly distort and ignore it, while blaming a republican congressman for falsifying documents and give Obama a free pass, because impeachment is bad for the country.

Why the frick would you cherry-pick out only this part and not the guy who directly contradicts that claim in the next goddamn text?

WTF is wrong with you?

They don't care. Every Dem in the House knows this is bogus and is going nowhere. They're doing it because they're facing primary challengers back home in their insane progressive districts who are killing them for not pursuing impeachment yet. This is a campaign ploy to cover their butts from AOC-types back home. Trump is their Obamacare. Most of them know he's not going anywhere but have to pretend to be doing something about him to humor their base.

BTW- Bill Taylor sounds like a whinny bitch


Doesn't it kind of sound like that Bill Taylor guy was trying to get someone to say something bad in a text message. Almost like he was in on trying to set this whole thing up. His txt about the campaign promises was awfully specific. Remember Schiff sent a staffer to the Ukraine. I wonder if this is the guy they talked to or worked with. It seems Bill Taylor is fishing but gets shutdown with a quickness.

You realize the "damning" texts are from the same fricking day, right?

Does anyone get the sense Bill Taylor was trying to manufacture incriminating texts? It seems as though Sondland might have gotten wise to it based on that last response.

If there is sufficient evidence of laws broken they should. Being a candidate for president does not insulate you from justice

They don't care man. Don't matter what anything says, they want to push the QPQ theory so they gonna do it. Like the Ukraine pres said he was not pressured by Trump or anyone. DOES NOT MATTER, MSM, LIBS all keep saying he was pressured even though he say she was not. Facts and reality do not matter to the Dims or Libs.


I hope they lose followers over all the bullshite they've pedaled these last three years.

Seems some of the black and latino vote is being sliced off a little for Trump. If he can get near 20-30% of these two blocks, a landslide will ensue.

If they thought it did you would see it slashed all over the news.

Instead you have the Republicans wanting it made public.

I realize you’re allergic to logic, but you should give it a try

So much so that the Republicans were running out mid-interview, with giddy smiles on their face, to tell the press he was in there bold-faced contradicting everything the Dems were claiming?

And, the Dems are oddly refusing to release the transcript of the interview?

Yeah, of course the Dems are claiming it went well. In what world would they admit the truth buttfricked their hopes?

C'mon, man. Why are you like this?

Exactly, and why on earth would you accuse the Prez of something like this to your boss? Because you would have a written record, thank goodness his boss MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR, obviously because he saw what the little prick was trying to do.
