Rep. Quigley On The Sondland Testimony: 'Never Too Late To Tell The Truth' | MTP Daily | MSNBC
Mob boss con man Trump, the king of the swamp…🐀🐀🐀🤢🤢🤢
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/11/just-in-doj-inspector-general-horowitz-to-publicly-testify-before-senate-judiciary-committee-on-december-11-about-his-investigation-into-fisa-abuses/
🦇💩🤪🎪🤡
Sondland will have a sleepless night tonight. He’s wondering “what to do what to do.” “Should I continue defending Faux POTUS or should I come clean.” Unless he’s completely shameless at which point he’ll sleep like a baby with no qualms.
The truth is what it is. I’m sure that the word purgery troubled his sleep. In the end, he did the right thing for himself and for our country.
How do you know when America’s democracy is under siege? It’s when our president believes he is above the law, and brags about falling in love with the most despotic dictator in modern history.
Semper Fi…

Trump praises Kim Jung Un ‘ control over his people.
“He’s the head of the country,” Trump said of Kim during a Fox interview.
“And I mean he’s the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different.”
“He speaks and his people sit up at attention,” Trump added. “I want my people to do the same.”
Sept 30 2018
Trump confesses the love he has for his muse, Kim Jung Un, during a rally.
“I like him, he likes me. I guess that’s okay. Am I allowed to say that?” Trump said.
“And then we fell in love, okay” he said. “No really. He wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.”
“If there is one fact we really can prove, from the history that we really do know, it is that despotism can be a development, often a late development and very often indeed the end of societies that have been highly democratic.. A despotism may almost be defined as a tired democracy. As fatigue falls on a community, the citizens are less inclined for that eternal vigilance which has truly been called the price of liberty; and they prefer to arm only one single sentinel to watch the city while they sleep.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
“There’s no English equivalent for silovik. It doesn’t translate succinctly because to create something as Machiavellian as a silovik requires both the KGB and the GRU, and then a shift from communism to capitalism, followed by a gear-grinding reverse into despotism.”
― Tanya Thompson, Red Russia
“The actions of government, we are told, bear down only on imprudent souls who provoke them. The man who resigns himself and keeps silent is always safe. Reassured by this worthless and specious argument, we do not protest against the oppressors. Instead we find fault with the victims. Nobody knows how to be brave even prudentially. Everyone stays silent, keeping his head low in the self-deceiving hope of disarming the powers that be by his silence. People give despotism free access, flattering themselves they will be treated with consideration. Eyes to the ground, each person walks in silence the narrow path leading him safely to the tomb.”
― Benjamin Constant, Principles of Politics Applicable to All Governments
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt.
@andrew ball You tagged me for that??
You, sir, are a well read and highly principled patriot. I salute you.
I would love to see POTUS testify in the House under House Resolution 660. The people have a right to see POTUS’s deposition uninterrupted.
Reality check, POTUS isn’t known for his honesty. That would be a very bad idea with severe consequences to POTUS.
When will the Don take the stand? I desperately want to meet the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.
He’ll cry bone spurs or something to that effect.
Sean Spicer fresh from Dancing With The Stars is available for Easter Bunny gigs, his forte.
Jon Jacoby well Donny Boy’s Base keeps complaining the hearings are sooo boring. Sean Spicer in a bunny suit would be an OK alternative… I WAS hoping for the real thing.
I have never seen this guy, but he’s great.
@Raging Monk – And *’Snowflake #45’* had *ANOTHER ‘twittyfeed tantrum’* today, *whining* about how ‘unfair’ *everyone’s* been *to* him. 🍼👶🍼
Poor put-upon prezzy… 😏
Gord Hind He’s been great in the hearings, too, adding some quirky levity.
Crimdor I’m bestowing Whiny Benchwarmer of the Month to Ratcliffe, who let the clock run down to 23 seconds, allowing him only enough time to whine “fine” after a Texas-size pout.
I love him and his quirky humour. I believe that before his time in Congress, he worked as an accountant. I am a computer engineer and we can be quite quirky too, but in my experience among friends and former colleagues the quirkiest humour often comes from accountants and statisticians. My kind of people: laser focused on details and with a dry sense of humour.
Jennifer Williams is testifying this week. She is an aide to VP Pence, worked for the DHS Sec under GW Bush, and has served in the State Dept for 13 years.
But according to t’rump, she’s a “never t’rumper who hates America.”
Loyalty is a one way street folks and t’rump has a fleet of buses to run you over with.
Funny how he attacked her even before she had a chance to testify. She’s one of those firsthand witnesses that the Republicans have asked for. If their guy was as innocent as he claims, her testimony will only serve to exonerate him.
@surely you joke, mein failüre Yeah, funny how t’rump is blocking any people who should be jumping at the chance to clear him with their first-hand testimony. 🤔😄
@Ro G I thank the Republicans for asking for open hearings. I thank them for asking for firsthand witnesses. Maybe next they’ll ask for ironclad proof? Heh
@Dearly Diane….Chump must of grab your POO-C for you to be so blind……Eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww…….Nasty like the ORANGE CRIMINAL TURD you are ! Keep the inbreeding going that’s your only chance for survival till your cell splits !
What a stupid remark.👎🏼
It’s pretty simple actually. Sondland will either tell the truth, or he will commit perjury like Roger Stone. After he is sworn in under oath, his fate is in his own hands.
Sondland is a flip flopper. He doesn’t even know what the truth is.
Chris H Just like the liar in chief who hired this loser after he donated 1 million to the campaign.
@Chris H 😂 you’re YouTube channel says it all bubba
@Marq LOECSTA You don’t like communist and anti-imperialist videos? Aww… too bad.
Wonder if he’ll even show up…
If trump is innocent, he should walk in, and UNDER OATH…testify…
If the call was “perfect” why cover it up? Why not just release the recorded call?
#TRE45ON
That’s not how it works. He’s innocent until proven guilty. He has nothing to prove, the Far Left does. They are grasping for straws.
@Chris Martin I don’t think so, dear. There are very many credible witnesses to trump’s corruption. “Left” or “right” has little really to do with it. You break the law, you pay.
@Chris Martin I think what Toma Harley means is that if Trump knows he’s innocent, it’s in his best interest to testify and clear things up. He would be in the best position do to that. One would think that an innocent person that’s under an impeachment inquiry would be much more interested in clearing their name than what Trump is. He blocks testimony, he obstructs and wails on the Twitter machine. You have to agree that his behaviour raises suspicion, doesn’t it?
If sondland doesn’t realize that trump will let him go to prison while he stays free for a little while longer
Sondlands attorneys are wishing for an immunity deal about now.
@Blink Once on Sunday! Depends on the audience. For example, it worked very well in Salem Witch Trials and in convictions on people where no one protests an injustice upon.
@Scribbles Scribbles Oh so that’s your angle? Sorry, this isn’t the 1800’s, our legal system is a little bit more advanced in 2019. The justice system makes deals all the time to catch crime bosses. And that’s what Trump is. He orders his people to commit crimes. Making a deal with a low level flunkie is a common tactic to dismantle the criminal organization.
@Blink Once on Sunday! No, that’s not “my angle”. It’s called an illustration and I picked the easiest and most well known occurrence I could since I know nothing about your levels of experience, education, or intellectual capacity. I’m just counting on all of those entities being low but at least high enough to understand the concept of subjectivity and the Salem Witch Trials. Surely you can understand that without trying to twist how it was used. Also, they took place in the late 1600’s, not 1800’s. The Revolutionary War was in the late 1700’s and the 1800’s was basically frontier expansion and Civil War. The illustration of duress. The Quid Pro Quo everyone talks about is the state bargaining an exchange with someone’s freedom/life. So, since our legal system still uses a criminal’s status as a mean for exploitation, is our legal system so much more advanced?
@Scribbles Scribbles I would leave illustrating to professionals. We’re just using the term bribery now. It’s easy enough for the layperson to understand. And it’s specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Look it up. Bribes don’t need to be money. Anything that has value to the recipient will do.
@Blink Once on Sunday! okay, I can agree that my illustration highlights bribery as well.
Quigley: “We’ll leave the names anonymous to protect the guilty…’ He could have been talking about the entire GOP! HAHAHAHAHA
Like Grandma used to say: “Tell the Truth and Shame the devil!””
Trump is the devil
but 45 with the GOP is the devil and all those who love the good book believe in them.
Is that Gym Jordan making all that noise trying to drown out the truth ?
Nah, the voice is too deep, but he’ll start his yapping soon enough.
Sounds like Gymy no Jacket is giving a interview in the back ground.
Sondland looks like a bald Steve Mnuchin wearing contacts
“The train left the station”, you got that Sondland? LOL!
This country will come out of this stronger and finer after this scourge is over and done !
Terry Waltman – And hopefully wiser. We’re learning that scoundrels need consistent,
close watching.
IF TRUMP DOES NOT GET IMPEACHED YOUR PRECIOUS CONSTITUTION HAS FAILED AMERICA!
It won’t matter because if they allow this to be swept under the carpet we will officially become a lawless nation from the top down.
“The only time when it’s too late to tell the truth, is when there’s nobody left to hear it. ”
This is what the GOP are aiming for.
Desolation.
