The Trump defence against going down along with Giuliani will presumably mean moving from “attempted murder isn’t a crime” to “paying a hitman isn’t a crime”.
I mean, assuming he actually needs to defend himself anywhere other than on twitter, which I assume he won’t.
Can’t watch or listen at the moment. Have they gotten to questioning yet or is Sondland just reading the statement?
Manafort and Stone are dedicated to committing crimes, they made it their full time jobs. Sondland’s a legit rich guy who just wanted to dip his beak into some grifting.
He’s still delivering his opening
He’s burning down the entire building in the opening statement.
Oops
RECEIPTS.
Good lord Sondand. “A lot of senior officials…a lot of senior officials…” as he looks directly and Nunes and the GOP.
He actually paused to look at them. WTF.
All these email and text receipts are new, I assume?
This is fucking awesome.
Also “high IQ” Pompeo also can’t take e-mails and needs them printed out. These guys are just so dumb.
State department and White house won’t let anyone access their emails / texts but apparently he was able to get a hold of some of them.

It’s crazy Sondland is enjoying this as much as he is.
Behind the scenes, Trump has surely been treating Sondland like garbage because he treats everyone like garbage.
So many people are fucked. Volker lied under oath yesterday.
Yea turns out if someone gives you a million, you might want to treat them nicely. Who knew?
So what will the republicans do? My guess is that they will go hard at legitimizing the Biden “investigations”, now that the quid pro quo has become absolutely undeniable.
So where are we on the wegothim scale?
