Sondland Testimony Creates Pressure On Pompeo, Mulvaney And Bolton: NYTimes | MSNBC
Trumpsters are not in just the swamp, they are in quick sand now.
@eric hoppe no.. you got alot of dumb dems.. and who told you that most of americans believe this set up dems scam
@eric hoppe you keep letting the fake news play you.. come on man..
@jeff mcgowan I believe that you are the deluded one.
Yea but these senators are no better than the president even after being caught in a lie!!!!
Trump- “NO QUID PRO QUO”
SONDLAND AMBASSADOR TO UKRAINE PUBLIC TESTIMONY- “YES QUID PRO QUO!!!”
They ALL knew about it…
Pence included. Some Christian.
So clear, Trump held up military aide for a headline.
In a nutshell yes but not just a headline. Trump would have used it during the entire campaign to smear Biden and call him criminal Joe because the Ukraine is investigating him. Trump never cared about the Ukraine, any corruption there, or that Bidens son had a job.
@Gabe Dudley: That’s NOT what Sondland said! Why don’t tRUMP, Mulvaney, Guiliani, Pompeo, Pence, Barr, Bolton, Perry, etc. testify IF they have nothing to hide and have done nothing wrong? An honest person would be willing to testify to provide clarity, wouldn’t they? To prove one’s innocence?
@Jana Schwehm he said “trump asked for nothing. He said do the right thing and that’s it”. You can’t deny what he said just because the Nazi propaganda experiment refuses to show it. Why do you keep supporting it? Why do you remain in the control group? We all know Biden needs to be investigated. Imagine how you would be acting if it was Eric trumps bank records showing millions in transactions from the Ukraine. Let go of the bias and just think with some logic
Mexico Federales just arrested Rudy crossing the border into Mexico illegally. He was wearing a poncho, Sombrero, dark shades, and a fake mustache, and riding a donkey.😂😄
LMAO
That is funny. What I would say is that these Trumpers, including Rudy, think that nobody would be able to dig deep enough to uncover their crimes and therefore they will never run.
@JoeyFiveandDimes – The nickname of the Millenium! Text that to rotten Rudy …
Are you serious? I don’t want to get my hopes up too soon.
Bottom line: Sondland gave Dumbo $1,000,000 that has never been accounted for.
@Cory Williams It’s the Republican way of doing business.
@Cory Williams
It’s not the first piece of government trump has sold. Check out a guy he appointed to Ireland.
@jeck jeck or Betsie
@Darlene Hawkins
A prime example.
@Brian Allen How much for a pardon???
Oh, wait. I guess he’s blown that one.
Pompeo needs to resign and move back to Kansas. The wizard of odd is a dirty trickster.
Biggus Dickus We don’t want him in Kansas…. trust and believe
Sorry, Kansas doesn’t want him back!
Kansas doesn’t want him back. Put him in jail
Did I dream it? I thought he was going home to run for the Senate.
*Everyone:* “Yeah, Sondland took part in the quid pro quo”
*Sondland:* “Oh, we’re just throwing people under the bus now are we? Two can play that game.”
🤣
Enjoying your soap operah?
Gabe D ……. Oh, you’re a funny guy ! These trumplickers had better not drop the soap where so many of them are going .
@JoeyFiveandDimes
Most of trumplickers are pedos.
@Gabe Dudley Opera.
Not Sondland, but Republican’s questions opened suggestions that Javelins were negotiated with previous Ukrainian president as a bribe for Trump’s October 2020 surprise back in 2017. But the new Ukrainian president didn’t know that and had to be extorted into cooperation. And now this….
I hope the Republican congresspeople get hammered by their constituents next recess.
@Moscow Mitch give it a rest@ Hillary was investigated and exonerated unlike trump who could not be exonerated by Mueller. Had his hands not been tied by the rules he may have very well been charged with criminal activity long before now.
@blob darkass From your lips to God’s ears.💙 💙 💙 💙 blue 2020!
SLEDGE HAMMERED!!!!
@ma ta You arent someone who thinks things through are you? Do you know that trump BARELY won in 2016? He won the electoral vote by only 77,000 votes spread out over 3 states.We know now that 65% of woman disapprove of him,independants are fleeing him,His unwinable trade war made harley davidson close down factories,farmers all over the midwest have come out against him,he only has 8% of the african american vote, a dismal approval rating which is lower then it was when he was elected.etc. So how exactly is trump gonna win in a “landslide” When possibly millions of people who voted for him in 2016,will not vote for him in 2020? Think things through and check your facts before you speak.
@ma ta What has he done that makes him a crook?Bid words from such a small woman.
A president who’s already said he’d take dirt on opponents from foreign actors, is trying to deny he was trying to get dirt on an opponent from a foreign actor. 😂
@Gabe Dudley lol, why are you getting triggered responding to every critic of Trumps. If you want the echo chamber, stick to your Fox News vids
@Nam Pham who says I’m triggered? Your ego? I am merely a voice of logic my friend. Embrace it or reject it and remain in control group A. There is always a choice. Free will
Trump famously told George Stephanopoulos that he would take dirt on a political rival from a foreign government on June 12, 2019. That is so close to the timeline of the scandal that he (Trump) might have already been actively engaged in his dirty deeds at that time! Guiliani was pushing Lutsenko’s conspiracy theories at least as early as May 1.
@LasVegasGames Of course he was, he was stacking the deck Vegas. 😉
Any politician from any party would take any dirt from any source. They are basically all the same animal.
Donnie Bonespurs is going down and hopefully all the Trumpsuckers with him. Lock ’em all up!
@jeck jeck never happen but after the video by the IG about his report it sure looks like all your hero are going to be indicted very soon
Stupid lol
@Ditkazbearz2
Sure. GOP incompetence never found any crimes on dems for 10 years:/
@Ditkazbearz2
Hating the trash that are trump and GOP is a good thing.
Unfortunately the corrupt Moscow Mitch will acquit Trump in the Senate. Ignoring all first hand evidence and facts to keep this horrific administration going. ALL Republicans up for re-election in 2020 have to go!
I’ll believe Sondland long before i would ever believe Pompeo.
@Gabe Dudley
I believe anyone over 5x a day Pinnochio.🌼😅
@Gabe Dudley This isn’t Fox
Yea, maybe. I believe Sondland gave them away today because he fears they might throw him under the bus. I mean, I still wonder where he’s going. To tell all like he did. Something is up. Sondland was along for the ride until they got caught, you have to remember that. Now, that he could go to jail for lying he had to come clean. I don’t trust rich guy Sondland, no further than I can throw him. Nor Pompeo. There all rats.
😂😂
@T …Sondland KNOWS they would throw him under the bus. He just got in first. He’s walking the line between loyalty and perjury, but the line is getting thinner. 🙂
*Sondland: “Everyone. Was. In. The. Loop”*
@Gabe Dudley Yah! Right! No worries, the ship is sinking so fast than expected!!!:))) Another visit to the hospital is what the moron president need!!! Check his mental health!!!:)))
@Gabe Dudley it was confirmed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Confirmed that Trump commited campaign finance violations by paying off stormy Daniels. Nice try though?
Gabe Dudley “I’m not kicking you in the shin!” (*While he kicks me in the shin)
@Gabe Dudley Trumps crimes are hiding in plain sight.
@Perry Walton like creepy joes? Its obvious you dont care about curruption. Just orange man bad right? Maybe orange should be the new colors of the left. The cult that doest think about anything but orange man bad
What is Trump holding over the heads of these people who can’t for the life of them get on the side of America and off the side of Trump?
Trump has their balls, spines, brains and what was left of their souls?!
Nope…
He just knows the names of all the underage hookers the Republican pedophiles in office frequent.
It could be that he cut taxes for the rich or that he paid them a bonus if they stick up for him 🤔
John Carpenter Russian collected dirt on all Republicans. Extort from within
John, I believe your question to be rhetorical, however, maybe all “these people” are simply crooked just like Trump, in heart, mind, and oh nope: not one has a soul. Not one of them is on anyone’s side but their own. Pompeo, Pence, Barr, Bolton. Cohen, Stone, Giuliani, Jordan, McConnell (and his wife, who now heads Department of Transportation, being an expert, because of the family business ) Etc, etc. on another note, my not so rhetorical question remains: Putin seems to be holding something over the head of our headless horseman, wonder how dangerous that is? Speaking of America’s side.
@Maureen Awty naw…Trump just knows where the GOP buried all their underage hookers.
We need Perry to explain the contracts that his buddies got with the Ukrainian gas company
Indeed.
MrJth937
Exactly. They yip-yap about Hunter Biden, yet the secretary of energy walks in and secures a 50 year contract for his political money donors, despite their offer being lower than that of the competition. If they’re looking for corruption, they will more likely than not find it here.
@Ganiscol GOP hypocrisy
Imagine? Everyone is lying except Trump, the pathological liar himself.
@blob darkass You’re right. The only person who benefits from this “drug deal” is Trump. . . Period.
FUX is NOT “news”!
@Pat Rix Although i strongly disagree with them,they are in fact,human. Terrible things have happened before when people start dehuminizing other people.
Trump has gotten all his cronies in deep kim chi now.
Somebody find Giuliani he’s needed in congress to answer questions.
While everybody is consumed in the impeachment hearings, tRump is trying to shut the government down for the holidays!
This testimony couldn’t have been clearer, everyone in this administration knew what Trump wanted, used his personal lawyer to convey his desire and everyone acted under that condition.
