Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I don’t think that “yes” was a good outcome for the Dems. I can’t see how that’s not going to be all over the news with “investigation over.”

Like, wtf just happened. Sondland just invalidated his entire testimony?

That looked like the most useful Republican performance. Drove home a single point that seems part of a logical argument and got Sondland to agree. It doesn't hold up under much scrutiny, but it definitely works within a closed intellectual environment.

Once again, what the gently caress are they paying Castor for?

No, because Sondland still testified that Trump ordered him to arrange the investigation announcement. You have to be willfully ignorant to not see what happened.

Yup - "If you say yes, it means X-Y-Z", and then he basically forced him to say "yes", even though he doesn't agree with that first point.

No, they Republican scored points because they got him to admit that he doesn't have proof, just that it's really obvious.

No, he's just saying a very narrow thing.

yeah. that was very well done: he got a specific talking point out of sondland, blocked sondland from saying anything else, and got sondland to appear to agree with everything he yelled.

Basically correcting the talking point that POTUS never said directly that he wants to break the law/bribe Ukraine. The GOP apparently keeps harping on the fact that it wasn't directly stated in big loud speech so therefore it can't be illegal :smug:, which is totally stupid.

Muddying the water; the Republicans were bloviating about how more than one country could try to influence our elections yesterday.

He said that he doesn't have a direct smoking gun, but he has still implicated everyone up to the president in this process.

The next step is obviously trying to roll up one of the President's inner circle, though I don't think any of them are gonna wanna fall on their sword for Trump. Time will tell.
