Or... you know... we could just go by the summary exchange between him and Ratliff stating there was no QPQ. Do I need to link it again or can you scroll up?No, too complicated.
He lied the first time because like Trump he's an arrogant son of a....
And also like Trump he's a coward. And when he was staring a perjury rap in the face he backstabbed Trump to save himself. As Trump has done to so many others, and as he is about to do to RG.
Feel free to go find a conflicting statement within his whole Congressional testimony against that summary. And be sure to find the clarifying statement on that. I’ll help you out. Nobody on the left challenged the Ratliff / Sondland exchange within the chamber where it was under oath. They took it to the media via innuendoWell we interpret portions of that differently with emphasis on it was one snippet of hours of his testimony
The timeline doesn't help you in that regard. That call was made with Sondland on September 9th, AFTER he had become aware of the whistleblower complaint. That was an attempt at a cleanup. Also, there is evidence in e-mails and White House docs (per the Washington Post) of an attempt to rationalize the hold on Ukrainian military aid - after the fact. If true, that represents a consciousness of guilt.I did. No QPQ at all from Trump. Any reference was his own inference and he explicitly confirmed that and went on to state Trump stated he wanted nothing. Hope you didn’t use too much tissue.
Then get him back under oath in front of Congress and get it clarified! Oh wait. You don’t have time for that.The timeline doesn't help you in that regard.

Oh I did! He was confirming his own inference and Ratliff explicitly made him state that! It’s all there!Check the portion where Sondland confirmed he understood what it was Rat was saying and he understood it was what he thought Rat believed. Listen again closely
Perhaps that’s the portion where Crush ( the non debater ) thinks the threat of outing sex was brought to bear

Wait. What?So Crush sent you two to obfuscate while he ducks the debate of Trump’s presidency?
I’m the one taking the actual video record out of context?!You can take whatever you want out of context. Won't change the fact that Trump attempted to bribe the president of Ukraine and abused his powers in the process. He was willing to sell them, and us, out to get reelected. Support for him is shameful.
You are reaching to give Trump a benefit of the doubt, which you would never do for a Democrat in such a position. For the record, the word in question was "presumed". That doesn't make Sondland wrong. Everything points to Sondland following directives set forth by Giuliani and Trump. The fact remains, that Trump did not release the aid, nor did he set forth a differing course of instruction until after he had been made aware of the whistleblower's complaint.I’m the one taking the actual video record out of context?!![]()
OMFG you are still parsing words and trying to sell Sondland’s inference! Ratliff did amplifying/clarifying questions for a reason and the answer is clear! And you’re wrong when this whole **** show started I stated then and there if Obama has done this it doesn’t rise up to impeachment level! It doesn’t rise to that level for ANYBODY FFS!You are reaching to give Trump a benefit of the doubt, which you would never do for a Democrat in such a position.

Clearly that’s the case. I’m just gonna keep pointing to the actual video record and recorded dialog. I don’t need any inference to back up my reasoning that video is all I need.
It does no such thing and Sondland clearly stated that when pressed on specifics by Ratliff. That is all that matters.that snippet is all you need because it validates your opinion/wish. His testimony in totality proves Trump threw a valued Ally under the bus, which contributes to continued death of Ukraine’s and all because Biden is beating Trump in the polls. Everything about this one incident is a perfect match to Trump’s demonstrated MO over his lifetime
Informed judgment says Trump is guilty
Don’t worry he won’t be thrown out. Censured is enough for me. That and the Southern District of New York nailing his 400 lb a$$ as soon as he vacated the office in Jan 2021
