yea I can very much imagine that they expected him to go in on Rudy but didn't expect 'everyone knew, it was quid pro quo, and the state department is freezing me out to keep me from telling you that'

I mean, that's what I was expecting too. Volker did the "oh, Sondland? I thought we were on the same side, I thought "talk to Rudy" meant "if you want to know why I'm spouting nonsense, ask Rudy", I just... I wanted to help Trump see that Ukrainians were friends, not food Zelenskyy was a good guy!" so I was waiting for Sondland to go "oh, Volker? I was trying to get him to help me fend off Rudy!"

But no :allears:

I dunno this is the kind of thing that leads to a giant public push to end corruption. Enron/WorldCom/Tyco happened because of public outrage, Bush's personal connections aside

They're obviously going to throw Rudy to the wolves at some point but I don't know how important his testimony would be besides infuriating Trump.

Rudy is probably borderline competent right now.

My worry is that he'll say all this stuff, then slip in one lie that the GOP can jump on and say "We can prove he was lying! So you have to ignore everything!!" Then Trump pardons him for perjury.

But right now my elation at the Great Bus Throwing Under is far outweighing that fear.

Also this was never a career for him. This was just a rich person lark so he could go back to his hotel empire and be like "ahh yes my gap year as a us ambassador hurf hurf hurf"

He doesn't give a poo poo.

Sondland is walking a real line: trying to say that everyone was in on something that was questionable, but also painting himself as trying to do the right thing at all times.
