🚨BREAKING: Gordon Sondland intends to testify that the text he wrote denying a quid pro quo with #Ukraine was relayed to him directly by @realDonaldTrump in a call: “It’s only true that the president said it, not that it was the truth.”🔥

After acting ambassador to #Ukraine Bill Taylor texted Sondland/ “I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,” Sondland called @realDonaldTrump, who told Sondland he didn’t “want a quid pro quo…didn’t want anything from #Ukraine.”🔥

Sondland appears to be throwing TRUMP under the bus, basically saying that he took Trump at his word that there wasn’t a quid pro quo with #Ukraine.🧐

🔥Sondland will testify that he worked at the direction of @RudyGiuliani to secure the “deliverable” sought by Trump: public statement from #Ukraine to investigate corruption, including mentioning Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company by name, in exchange for a coveted WH audience.

My God. This is DAMNING. Trump’s *own pick* as EU Ambassador is planning to testify that Trump was fully aware *and* authorized an ILLEGAL shake down of #Ukraine👉🏼 $391,000,000 of American aid,
In exchange for manufacturing dirt on a political rival.🤬

Clearly, the rats are fleeing. Sondland *had* to know about #Ukrainegate after numerous TV appearances by Rudy, plus numerous news articles questioning whether Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma could prove to be a drag on Joe Biden’s campaign.🙄

Sondland worked with Rudy, Kurt Volker (special envoy to #Ukraine), and @SecretaryPerry as part of the U.S. delegation to the new #Ukraine president Zelensky’s inauguration.🤨

@VP Pence was supposed to go, but cancelled at the last minute.🧐

🚨WOW: Pence cancelled an official visit to #Ukraine at the last minute. Cancelling a VP visit—especially at the last minute—is a *big* deal and appears to be part of Trump’s pressure campaign on #Ukraine.

Meaning: #PenceKnew about #Ukrainegate.🔥

Of course, Rudy is blaming Sondland, saying Sondland’s role was more expansive and that they spoke about 6 times this summer about #Ukraine. “He seemed to be in charge. It just seemed like he was more decisive,” Giuliani said.🤣

The rats are FLEEING!🤣

#Ukrainegate

I don’t foresee *any* of these #Ukrainegate characters—Rudy, Sondland, or Volker—going to prison for Trump. Instead, it’s a rat race to the best deal.😎
