Ehud posted:I'm not sure if it's required, but I'd wear my uniform if I was him. They're almost certainly going to try and smear his name today. Let them deal with the optics of doing so to a purple heart recipient sitting there in uniform. When they had friendlier servicemen who were willing to hide stuff they went all in on spending their time talking about their service and thanking them, so it would look bad as a contrast too.

Strange Poon posted:it's obvious vindman is rattled. he looks really nervous but not in a way that he is being sketchy I don’t know if he has family but considering Dr. Ford and what she had to do with the threats, it’s probably horrifying what threats are coming at him and what to worry about after this is all over still.

I don't even know where he got that from. He’s believed a lot of insane things about Hillary’s emails, including that she somehow printed them off and poured bleach on them.

Even though I don’t think it’s super likely considering Trump’s non loyalty for everyone but himself there’s always the chance he would let someone get all the blame and frame them as some Dem plant or something, which means he was totally innocent.

TyrantWD posted:As much fun as it is to see him flip, I really do wonder why would you donate a million dollars to someone if you weren't willing to go down with the ship. They didn’t think the ship would sink, and even if it’s not Trump levels of no loyalty it’s all about making more money and nothing else.

PainterofCrap posted:Trump already signalled that he was going to throw Sondland under the bus by calling him a never-trumper. Why on earth would he go to bat for Trump? If Trump has pardoned some of the already punished people or stuck his neck out even a little I could see him thinking that he could be immune, but I think as long as you see yourself as lasting longer than Trump has power then it’s a pretty big risk to stick yourself to him.

They didn’t know he would flip like this until only a few hours ago right? The GOP can’t work a good strategy with a week to prepare, so they’re extra hurt today by that news.

If they try and say he’s a liar could he just go “I was instructed to lie by Trump/Rudy/whoever to make it seem like they did nothing wrong?”

Even with that note I’ll bet Trump does a “Sondland lied about quid pro quo, like a dog!” Tweet by the end of the day

Considering the GOP witnesses turned out terrible for them was there anyone they requested who would have looked good for them? I’m assuming they asked for someone not related at all who would just say this is all a fake news investigation

There’s probably a fair amount of Conservatives pissed off at Trump only because he’s stupid and corrupt instead of regular corrupt who would just rubber stamp and do what they want.

Sombrerotron posted:And Graham, bizarrely enough. Surely he must've foreseen that Schiff's answer would be "yes, if Obama had done the same thing it would have been wrong and grounds for impeachment as well." There’s been a lot of times I think some GOP rep or Senator has tried that move and was shocked the answer was saying it would be wrong and something should be done instead of circling the wagons to protect a corrupt leader.
