Smoking Gun Nightmare: Trump Ally Now ‘Recalls’ Ukraine Bribery Plot, An Impeachable Offense | MSNBC
The tweeting twit won’t like this. Must be Obama’s fault.
I assume sarcasm.
Trump is dishonest, a liar and buffoon . He is a successful social path.
The facts are he has no morals and no depth. Trump is a buffoon and crook. The proof is complete.
You will wait a longtime for an intelligent and truthful comment from a Trump supporter.
His good comments are Russian botts meant to divide America.
Trump has no honest defense.
@Ralf Häggström hahahaha…remember those? Good times!…..
@Bud Fudlacker he did not clear trump. He said he could not exonerate. Sorry, not sorry
Sondland not willing to take a bullet.
@Daniel Lindy
He’s both because he paid a million dollars for a job he didn’t need or qualify for .
The Big Rats are jumping ship fast now
He’s right because trump is just like satan when you get in trouble he don’t know you anymore
Ah, Mr. Sondlands wife put her foot down. She was NOT willing to lose everything they had built for the POS in the WH.
He’s a rank amateur. Rich, but rank.
It’s not bribery, it’s extortion
I prefer corrupt presidents who bribe people with their own money, not mine
ITS BOTH X’s 2
@Kevin Coop That’s wishful thinking. The meaning of words is not changed by the happenstance that it helps our case.
Gottenhimfella The whole thing is disgrace of our country! Very very far from making our country great again. How Trumpers still believe his bold faced lies is way beyond my realm of understanding as a human being.
Didn’t Sondland realize that other witnesses would contradict his testimony? He set himself up for perjury 🤦♂️
well how ever – The Rats are jumping ship fast now
As long as he tell the truth about oh trump he should go to jail for getting evil out and in jail
@Ro G give it to the D people who have love for others and not to a man who give money to the rich
Ganiscol Trump probably promised them a pardon. He has been looking into how many people he can pardon during his presidency, already.
Pontus Ekholm yes they understand checks and balances, why didn’t they come forward at the beginning. Why did they wait till the deal was done, or should I say after they got caught?
Lets see the transscripts of his talks with Putin…..if this is a bombshell, I promise you….that transscript will be like the sun imploding.
Alexis Rivera Oh it will be recorded, just not by the American side!!
You bet there’s transcripts of him calling Putin from the oval office. And I’m sure plenty of times.
word
@Alexis Rivera You have been paying attention. The government doesn’t do recordings. That took down a president. That would result in accountability.
Can’t have that in the government.
Putin has vetoed that.
Seems like someone wants to earn a “Get out of jail” card after at least hiding the truth formerly… 😂😂😂😁😁😁
The Huckabitch should be locked up with the rest of them.
@Dolores Reynolds LOL!! You said it …’the job he BOUGHT’!!!
@Deborah Hennessey yep… the dominoes are starting to fall…
@fringelife 900
See a pattern of criminal behavior with Trump and his minions? Criminals all.
Sondland, Gordon Sondland? Uhhh, nope, never heard of him. But people are saying he’s a BIGLY never-trumper, a total loser, and a liar! He’s going to be going through some things. -The Lyin’ King
@Tetaake Groves I wrote it in Stephen Colbert’s voice! 😉 I’m not even kidding! Right now I’m regretting not including at least one “dot dot dot”, but I’ll add it and repost on a Colbert video tonight! See ya there! ✌️👍💜
LOL!
@Suzy Q dot dot dot – classic😂
OMG 😂 – first ‘liarside chat’ from a few comments above, and now ‘The Lyin’ King’ – hilarious 😂
Dot dot dot, dot dot, he’s another angry Democrat who hates Trump and gave him a million dollars so he could set him up in the new BIGGEST WITCH HUNT IN HISTORY.
Can’t say Sondland was a never trumper because he gave trump a million dollars.
Joshua Xiong got that right. You don’t give a million dollars to your enemies.
Joshua Xiong right, it’s gonna be hard to use the regular phrases with this one. A guy who gives him a million doallars can’t be deep state.
“Sondland? Where have I heard that name? He contributed to my campaign? It was a small contribution really. Not much at all. Hardly any money, for a really rich guy like me!.”
Oh now he ‘remembers’…..🙄
What being threatened with handcuffs will do 😂
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel, turns out it was a freight train coming for Trump, Giulliani, Pompeo, and probably a few assorted minions, enablers and incompetents, with any luck at all. Make it so, or hang your heads in shame.
He was threatened with the Epstien flu.
Worst million dollar ever spent, I hope he kept the receipt
Bahahhahahahahaha
Trump doesn’t give refunds.
haystak1
Omg 😂😂😂 I bet he didn’t
Trump doesn’t issue receipts…that would be a paper trail.
At last using the right word — ‘bribery’.
Yes. The reason Trump constantly denies “quid pro quo” is because he thinks he has covered his back on that charge and wants impeachment to be all about a quid pro quo. He did the same when he made the Mueller report about “collusion” rather than obstruction of justice. The media needs to get wise and stop falling into his trap. Trump is a gas-lighter, he has people calling a memorandum a transcript and a big metal fence a wall.
Don’t forget blackmail.
I like the word……Extortion.
@Daniel Lindy Indeed. Calling it bribery is like referring to a sexual assault as “seduction”.
Bribery is an appeal to greed. This was a threat to survival.
he is finally scared enough of the gov and less trump. he is pulling a Micheal Cohen.
@Jugganuat Cohen plea bargained away tax charges involving millions. He also was an attorney. His sentence would take things into account that aren’t present with Sondland.
@D Mack cohen was also found guilty in the hush money scheme that was a campaign violation remember trump was named the unindicted co-conspirator. He said in front of congress that he was going to prison for something he did for trump
Jugganuat , I figured he was only acting like a lackey, Cohen got what he deserved.
Trump should get life in prison.
@hawi jack I totally agree
The worst president in the history of America. The worst administration in the history of America. They are making Warren Harding look good
Sondland: “I don’t recall.”
Law: “Try on this orange coverall.”
Sondland: “I now recall…”
🤣🤣🤣
I think a lot more people will start recalling soon….
spud2go
🙌🏽😂😂😂
Ok, I had to add my own laugh. Lol
HAHAHAHA a good one,,,,, you made me pee in my pants from loudly laughing so much
The genius of the “enough rope” strategy is a beautiful thing. Weather report: Major Avalanche Predicted.

If you’re referring to trump I would have to ask, what mind?
Non-political comment here: Really enjoying John’s bow ties in these segments 😄
I’m always happy to see John on Ari’s show, especially with Miya.
cute as a clown
Kinda makes me feeling hungry for them bow tie macaroni
Trump lies so much that when he said to me “I will die tomorrow” death itself had to show up and corrected him
your obviously a genius
