Give Goldman (dem counsel) a raise then plan on appointing him to a high level position in DOJ. He's been killing it throughout.

Eregos posted:Even though corruption and criminality is rather openly accepted by the Republican party, I still don't see how Mulvaney gets to remain as chief of staff. Trump Chief of Staff looks like Defense against the Dark Arts instructor - it's a cursed job! Mulvaney has like five titles in the WH. If they fire him for one, they have to fire him from the others, and Trump hates actually doing work and vetting people. Plus who the gently caress would accept a promotion at this point?

"I never heard from President Trump that aid was conditioned on an announcement of elections." "I never heard those words." There's the Fox News soundbite.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:"I never heard from President Trump that aid was conditioned on an announcement of elections." Yep, I had the same reaction. Goldman is chasing it down now, but Sondland is claiming that the Bursima/2016 investigation announcement was explicitly part of the quid pro quo for a white house meeting only - all references to security assistance were his own personal conclusion as part of the package (but Trump etc. never told him that).

This is what worries me: that they'll try to say the security wasn't linked and as a result, it's all good. That's dumb, but hey.

After watching that, I really think sondland or his lawyer properly identified that there was no way in hell he'd be able to testify against that lawyer without getting shredded. Throwing everyone else out as bait and trying to not look like a money-grubbing rear end in a top hat were his only plays, and he really only pulled off the first.
