The tax cut is in my pocket-not the pocket of some illegal alien!So the elections are already over. When will the new senators arrive?Sondland is a Donald Trump stooge who has been compelled to tell the truth under oath.
The truth is being excavated from the system as mountains of evidence emerge that Donald Trump was using the withholding of foreign aid to Ukraine as pressure to compel Ukraine to open an investigation into Biden and into 2016 election interference by Ukrainians.
Donald Trump is becoming more isolated every day as the Democrats are discovering more information with each subpoenaed witness. In fact, the Democrats are demonstrating how to perm investigations to the Republicans who got their anuses booted three times by Hillary Clinton and others when they held the House and Republican clowns were the interrogators in inquiries.
Impeachment of Donald Trump is becoming more certain every day with each new fact and revelation.
The GOP will be slaughtered in the elections for their incompetence and complicity with Trump's crimes.
WSJ: Sondland told the House that Trump's Ukraine pressure was a quid pro quo
WSJ: Sondland told the House that Trump's Ukraine pressure was a quid pro quo

A lawyer for the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland told The Wall Street Journal that Sondland told impeachment committee members that President Trump's dealings with Ukraine amounted to a quid pro quo.
Sondland's lawyer, Robert Luskin, told the news outlet that Sondland revealed to House committees he thought that a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would only take place if the country agreed to investigate corruption allegations about his political rivals.
Last month, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump's dealings with the Ukraine following a whistleblower complaint about a July 25 call with Zelensky.
When a lawmaker asked Sondland if he believed this arrangement was a quid pro quo, Sondland said he believed so, but warned that he was not a lawyer, Luskin told the newspaper.
The Journal's report follows text messages between Sondland and U.S. diplomat Bill Taylor that came out during the impeachment inquiry.
In the exchange, Taylor said "it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign."
"The president has been crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind," Sondland responded.
Taylor's subsequent testimony resulted in scrutiny on Sondland and some lawmakers have called for him to return and answer more questions.
Taylor testimony was similar. He told the House investigators that a meeting between Trump and Zelensky as well as security assistance for Ukraine was conditioned on the country's pursuit of investigations into whether Kiev interfered in the 2016 election and into unfounded corruption allegations against the Bidens.
Taylor also relayed that Sondland told a Ukrainian representative "the security assistance money would not come until President Zelensky committed to pursue the Burisma investigation.”
Luskin told The Journal that Sondland would probably return if he were asked to do so.
Trump has denied that there was a quid pro quo and blasted the impeachment inquiry as a "witch hunt."
However, a rough transcript of the July call released by the White House reveals that the president did ask Zelensky to look into the former vice president. Trump has also publicly asked Ukraine and China to investigate the democratic presidential candidate. ...
The spaces formerly occupied by repugnant GOP senators are still being sanitized with industrial strength bio-hazard cleansers.
The GOP stench may take longer to clear.
You are not biased against Republicans, are you? After the tax break you got?
A tax cut financed by increased Federal debt is an illusion.
