Which way will Gordon #Sondland go:

Jail or
Not Jail?

#impeachmentInquiry
#ImpeachmentHearings

c-span.org/video/?466378-…
#Sondland so far
-I am not of the highest principles
-I don't have a great memory
-No fair I wasn't given cheat sheets
So #Sondland has just said:

We were working <against our better judgment> to overcome "the problems".

And who caused those "problems" now?

#ImpeachmentInquiry
#ImpeachmentHearings
Ha! #Sondland admits they (the three amigos) took "talk to Rudy" as a directive. Contradicting #Volker's unconvincing testimony from yesterday that he did not take "talk to Rudy" as actually talk to Rudy.

#ImpeachmentInquiry
#ImpeachmentHearings
#Sondland throws #Pompeo under bus.

Testifies that as late as September 24, Pompeo was directing them (the three amigos) to talk to Rudy.

First mover advantage to the Amigos over Pompeo in this shitshow.

#ImpeachmentInquiry
#ImpeachmentHearings
BAM!

#Sondland testifies that #PenceKnew that the military aid was being held up because of Trump's requirement Zelensky commit to investigations.

#ImpeachmentInquiry
#ImpeachmentHearings
It's raining bombshells over here at the #Sondland hearing.

No longer 2nd hand:

The EU Ambassador talking to the President on an open line almost certainly picked up by Russia:
-Zelensky will do anything Trump wants

Confirmed:
-Per Sondland Ukraine not important to Trump
#Sondland acknowledges to pro quo

#ImpeachmentInquiry
#ImpeachmentHearings
Maybe we shouldn't have rich ding dongs with bad memories who can't be bothered to take notes wheel and deal on our behalf on issues of national and global security.

#Sondland
#ImpeachmentHearing
#ImpeachmentInquiry
So #Sondland paid 1 MILLION dollars to secure tickets to the inauguration & got rewarded with an ambassadorship

#ImpeachmentHearing
#ImpeachmentInquiry
@RepAdamSchiff's stamina & attention to detail, truly remarkable. Remaining sharp, pushing forward w hearings & rising to the moment to powerfully distill what we are hearing into a call to action to save the Republic

I know this is not news, but jeez hearing it directly from #DavidHolmes at the #ImpeachmentInquiry is just something else....

#Sondland to #Trump: "you can tell the #Kardashians you tried"

#ImpeachmentHearings
#FionaHill another woman, another immigrant, another patriotic public servant committed fully to the PRINCIPLES of our great nation.

#ImpeachmentInquiry
#ImpeachmentHearings
#FionaHill talking about the role of #DevinNunes' senior aide #KashPatel in Trump's 'understanding' of Ukraine.

The full tight circle.

#MarshaBlackburn has problematic links to Russia. To #MariaButina via her long-time friend and campaign aide #KlinePreston and to Russian operative #AlexanderTorshin. See next tweet for more. twitter.com/IndivisibleNet…

Here's #KlinePreston Blackburn's long-time friend and campaign aide who introduced #Torshin to the #NRA. Time for us to take the dangers posed by #ChristianNationalists seriously. They are not for democracy if democracy does not deliver Christian law. thinkprogress.org/new-documents-…

Trump now: Dropping sanctions against Turkey because Turkey is now promising a ceasefire (did he not learn the last time? PS WE triggered this slaughter.)

Trump: we have "secured the oil" and will be figuring out soon "what to do with it".

WTF? Shameful.
Lots of sniffing
Trump praising brutal dictator Erdogan, taking swipes against our European allies.

First half of today's hearing features testimony from NSC official Alex Vindman & VP Pence aide Jennifer Williams. Later, we hear from frmr. special envoy to Ukr. Kurt Volker and Tim Morrison, frmr Russia adviser to NSC.
The whoosh of camera shutters is all you could hear as Alex Vindman and Jennifer Williams entered to take their seats.
And we're gaveled in, now underway.

The first public #ImpeachmentHearings are starting. Watch it live here, and follow along for our live analysis:
c-span.org/video/?466134-…
In his opening statement, @RepAdamSchiff lays out the stakes of Trump's extortion scheme: a U.S. ally at war with Russia, and a U.S. president who extorted that ally for personal political gain.
@RepAdamSchiff .@RepAdamSchiff: "The facts in the present inquiry are not seriously contested:" Trump deputized Rudy Giuliani, Gordon Sondland, and others to demand political favors from the Ukrainian government in exchange for military aid and a White House meeting.

Giuliani to defy congressional subpoena; Pence on track to do the same. Russell Vought at OMB will not comply. More to report. Story to come for @CourthouseNews.
@CourthouseNews STORY: The impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump hurdled forward Tuesday as Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said he would not comply with a subpoena for records demanded by House Democrats. MORE: courthousenews.com/giuliani-defie…
@CourthouseNews
@CourthouseNews Regret the typo above, it should be hurtled*.
Change made in story to reflect this correction.

Starting now: House Oversight will be voting today on a resolution to hold AG Bill Barr and Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross in contempt for not turning over subpoenaed docs re: the census citizenship question and not making a DOJ official available to testify: docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO…
CSPAN is streaming the hearing here: c-span.org/video/?461640-…
This isn't the last word - assuming the committee approves the resolution, it would then go to the full House for a final contempt vote. The House yesterday also passed a resolution that empowers committee chairs to go to court to enforce subpoenas, see: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BI…

What is [RBG's] current state-of-health?
Are pictures being 'avoided' for a reason?

Was there any surprise to today's charges being dropped?
Read the drop carefully, again.
Video evidence?
Payment evidence?
Testimony by (2) 'paid' men evidence?
Not enough evidence to convict?
The system is rigged.
Will the AG need to get involved?

Watching the Immigration Meeting, and you can see everybody in the room realize they can get the President to agree to anything they want as long as they say nice things about him.
It's like when I coached a t-ball team, except there's a dozen coaches and one player.
He seems so happy. This is all he ever wanted. Presiding over a meeting, hearing compliments, saying things, people nodding in agreement. It's what he thought the job would be. That and parades.
