Sondland, in his prepared deposition, said he talked to Trump sometime before his 7/25 7/26 trip to Kiev, but not on any substance in call
Morrison: Sondland emailed me & several other WH staff to inform us he’d spoken to the President that morning to brief him on the call...
Morrison: ... I confirmed that call did happen.
Sondland’s desire to show off to everyone how much he was talking to Trump at the time seems in conflict with his recent desire to minimize his memory of those conversations
Sondland: recall brief discussion w/Pres. Trump before my visit to Kyiv. The call was v short,..&did not encompass any of the substance of 7/25 call.
Morrison: Sondland emailed me & several other WH staff to inform us he’d spoken to the President that morning to brief him on call

reading this part in morrison testimony makes me try to remember: did the White House stop generally releasing readouts of POTUS foreign leader calls after the Trump Zelensky 7/25 call? does it date to then? it stopped at some point then became very episodic
Morrison lawyer Van Gelder to GOP counsel Castor: ..Whether Pres. Trump jeopardized US national security by pressing Ukraine to interfere w/2020 election, & by withholding a WH meeting & military assistance provided by Congress to help Ukraine counter Russian aggression+ cover up
she is saying the above is the scope of the testimony Morrison is prepared to give, and seems to think Castor is trying to ask questions to instead try to possibly identify the whistleblower

what is suggested from this, and comes through in Holmes and Taylor testimony as well, is the TV interview where Zelensky might announce the Trump-demanded investigations was not definitively called off until over a week after the aid was released on sept. 11.
Holmes: altho hold lifted 9/11, we were still concerned Zelensky might do CNN interview. on 9/13, colleague heard from US EU mission sondland said the interview supposed to be today or monday (9/16) & “they plan to announce a certain investigation that was on hold will progress.”
Holmes: on Sept. 13, when Taylor stressed importance of staying out of US politics & hoped no interview was planned, Yermak shrugged, as if to indicate they had no choice. In short, everyone thought there was going to be an interview, & the Ukrainians believed they had to do it.

In addition to June 4 dinner Sondland hosted in Brussels for Zelensky and Kushner, etc. which Holmes describes as having outside importance for three amigos when Zelensky could not get WH invite (see ), remain curious about another episode.
Aug. 29, Bill Taylor sends classified, 1st person cable to Pompeo, to share his alarm on aid hold, upon Bolton’s advice.
Sept. 2, Pompeo ditches press to fly to Brussels, where he meets Sondland, who’s just returned from Warsaw, where met Yermak
Perhaps Sondland will get asked on Wednesday about June 4 dinner, Kushner’s role, and his meeting with Pompeo sept. 2 after he met Zelensky’s aide in Warsaw to deliver message the condition for aid to be released was announcing investigations to benefit Trump politically.

One viral image being shared on social media used a bit of reverse psychology, asking what Americans would think if the details of this story involved the #tRump family rather than the #Biden family. #GreatWhiteHunter

#HunterBiden was a senior VP for financial services giant #MBNA — an arrangement that drew criticism during the 2008 elections for potential conflict of interests.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
