mcmagic posted:He isn't hitting their conspiracy theories as well as he could. nah what he's doing is really poor cross-examination. every time it seems like he gets a statement republicans could use as a bloody shirt he keeps asking follow-up questions until sondland clarifies whatever poor wording he had.

Wow.. Ambassador Taylor, a career foreign service officer and diplomat, was nothing but nice to you even though he hated your guts? It's almost like he was being "diplomatic"

It looks like he's finally maybe getting to the only semi-good argument they can use, which is about Sondland's changing testimony. ...and it looks like he abandoned that line.

https://twitter.com/AaronBlake/status/1197197096547495942 lol castor asked sondland if he believed the president already and sondland very clearly refused to say yes and gave castor a chance to move on without him needing to say no and so naturally this idiot goes back to get yet another quote that sondland does not believe trump

Apparently Trump talking to the press earlier in the ovalMaggie posted:More from the White House from Andrew Restuccia, the Wall Street Journal reporter serving as a pool reporter today: “POTUS re-enacted his conversation with Sondland in dramatic fashion, recounting Sondland’s testimony beat by beat. e: he lies about everything, including always being in a good mood?

the whole "I wanted the ambassador to run with it" thing doesn't make any sense they fired marie yovanovich and cut Taylor out of everything and replaced him with random political appointees not even assigned to ukraine then he tried to work with those people but once sondland realizes things are going badly, it's "WHY DIDN'T THE AMBASSADOR TAKE OVER AND DO HIS JOB?"
