💥 #Sondland Confirms Ukraine Quid Pro Quo in NEW Updated #Impeachment Testimony: He told Ukrainian officials that US military aid was unlikely unless they publicly committed to the investigations President Trump wanted. nyti.ms/32g54V3
#Sondland discussed the linkage w/ Yermak—in Warsaw after Pence-Zelensky meeting, where Z discussed aid suspension: “I said that resumption of the US aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks” 
🔥#Sondland describes the quid pro quo creep to Trump's demands: First, talk to Giuliani. Then it was about corruption. Then corruption wasn't enough. "We need to talk about the 2016 election & the Burisma investigations…It kept getting more insidious." intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
You can see why Fiona Hill said #Sondland's ignorance was dangerous & why Trump made him top man in Ukraine scheme. He just accepted Giuliani's conspiracy theories on Biden/Burisma. "It was always described…as ongoing investigations that had been stopped by the previous admin"❌
#Sondland's new testimony makes quid pro quo clear as day: Trump tied US aid to Ukraine laundering a Russian conspiracy theory & Biden disinformation to look like Ukrainian independent investigations. Even Trumpy Sondland knew it was improper & assumed "illegal" too. #Impeachment
But don't fall for "legal/illegal" trap. Mueller taught us that! Trump's abuses are literally unprecedented. Lawmakers never contemplated a president doing anything so outrageously abusive. Thankfully, the Framers wrote impeachment broadly, not defined by narrow legal parameters.
ICYMI Bombshell testimony blows hole in coverup of #Trump’s thinly veiled #Ukraine shakedown masquerading as foreign policy. #Sondland admits quid pro quo: Military aid for political favors—investigations—to help Trump. (AND Putin, always) #Impeachment
