#Sondland better watch his step.

Hill testified, under oath, that his statements in July 10 meeting were understood to mean pushing Ukraine to investigate Bidens.👇

WaPo reported Sondland plans to say he didn’t realize Biden connection. He may want to revise that before Thurs.
Here’s the WSJ article in @lrozen’s tweet describing Fiona Hill’s testimony (great scoop by @rebeccaballhaus @aviswanatha
@nataliewsj):

And here’s the Post’s story from Saturday describing what Sondland had planned (at least before Hill’s testimony, that is) to tell Congress (scoop by @byaarncdavis and @John_Hudson):

“A decorated Iraq war veteran plans to tell House impeachment investigators on Tuesday that he heard President Trump appeal to Ukraine’s president to investigate one of his leading political rival...so damaging to American interests that he reported it to a superior” NYT
1. Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, TWICE registered internal objections

2. Sounds like Vindman has documents to back up his claims:

“According to documents reviewed by The Times on the eve of his congressional testimony...”
3. Sondland is dead in the water.

Vindman’s prepared testimony:

“Ambassador Sondland emphasized the importance that Ukraine deliver the investigations into the 2016 election, the Bidens and Burisma.”

Corroborates Fiona Hill and Bill Taylor testimony.

I published this graphic op-ed👇in New York Times’ Sunday Review (hard copy).

It shows Trump network of lawyers, clients, and associates caught in #Ukrainegate.

One big question this raises: use of attorney-client privilege to cover for crimes?

What do you see as significant?
The link between Joe diGenova & Victoria Toensing and John Solomon could not have been established but for the recent scoop by @NatashaBertrand @dsamuelsohn.

Note also the line from diGenova and Toensing to President Trump.

@NatashaBertrand @dsamuelsohn And the research on this could not have been accomplished but for the excellent work of @RCLS_NYU Student Scholar @Julia1Brooks.

Not only is Graham's watered-down resolution a sign of weakness for Trump (@GrahamDavidA's analysis👇)

I'm old enough to remember Graham saying he'd get Republicans to sign a letter to Pelosi saying call was not impeachable offense

Can't get signatories?
theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
@GrahamDavidA Oct 9: Graham on Fox News said he was going to ask Senate GOP to sign letter to Pelosi saying "do not believe the transcript of the phone call between the president and the Ukraine is an impeachable offense."

Then: GOP warned Graham it could backfire due to lack of GOP support.
@GrahamDavidA @politicalwire @joshtpm @ckmarie @shearm @AaronBlake Might be nice for reporters covering the Graham resolution to include this context.

His effort at statements directed at the House began with a promised letter on the substance of the impeachment allegations that melted away due to lack of Senate Republican support.

💣BOOM💣

Decorated @USArmy veteran LTC Alexander Vindman plans to tell @HouseDemocrats that he heard @realDonaldTrump ask #Ukraine’s president to investigate @JoeBiden, and reported it to a superior out of what he called a “sense of duty.”

What a hero!🇺🇸
nytimes.com/2019/10/28/us/…
🔥Vindman—the 1st WH official to testify who listened in on the July 25 #Ukrainegate call—is the TOP #Ukraine expert on the NSC and raised internal objections TWICE about how Trump and his cronies were treating #Ukraine.

#Ukrainegate
Vindman: “I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a US citizen...I realized that if #Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play” that would HURT #Ukraine.

To help TRUMP.🤬

🔥QUID PRO QUO🔥

At least 3 officials—Bill Taylor, Fiona Hill, Gordon Sondland—told @HouseDemocrats: a WH visit for #Ukraine’s president was explicitly conditioned on his agreeing to investigations that could help Trump’s re-election.

#Ukrainegate
nbcnews.com/politics/trump…
🚨When Trump sycophant Gordon Sondland was asked point blank, under oath, whether that constituted a "quid pro quo," even he did not dispute it.

👋🏼Hello, @GOP. Got your #QuidProQuo right here!

#Ukrainegate @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @tedlieu
After ~65 hours of testimony — along with public comments from Trump and his cronies — a “portrait is emerging of a #QuidProQuo that evolved over time, with Trump **progressively upping the ante when his demands were not met**.”

What a baby.🙄

🚨John Bolton told Fiona Hill to alert the National Security Council’s top lawyer about a rogue effort by Gordon Sondland, Rudy Giuliani & Mick Mulvaney to pressure #Ukraine.

“I am not part of whatever drug deal Sondland & Mulvaney are cooking up.”
nytimes.com/2019/10/14/us/…
Hill testified that Bolton previously expressed grave concerns about the rogue effort to pressure #Ukraine being run by Giuliani: “Giuliani’s a hand grenade who’s going to blow everybody up.”🔥
🔥At a July 10 meeting w/Sondland, Volker, Rick Perry, and 2 Ukrainians, Bolton tried not to commit to a Trump/Zelensky meeting. Sondland got agitated b/c there was an agreement w/Mulvaney that there would be a meeting if #Ukraine opened up the investigations the WH was seeking.

When Jimmy Carter was president a special counsel was appointed to investigate the peanut business he put into a REAL blind trust, he testified under oath 4 times & final report cleared him.

Where's the special counsel to investigate Trump's businesses?
