ensky] is gonna do the investigation?’ ”
“I thought we were supposed to be looking at the potential impact on the 2016 election and foreign countries’ involvement with that,” Jordan said, before Brennan reminded him that the investigation mentioned was allegedly a probe into the Bidens.
“I don’t think that’s what took place,” Jordan said, continuing to note that U.S. aid to Ukraine had been released without any investigation, so the quid pro quo “didn’t happen.”
Pressed by Brennan, Jordan, who has been transferred to the House Intelligence Committee for the public phase of the impeachment inquiry, pivoted to attacking Democrats for being “out to get this president.”
Jordan declined to say whether he believed Sondland, who is scheduled to publicly testify this week, was a credible witness, but noted that the EU ambassador “said there was never any quid pro quo in the text message responding to others on that text chain.”
Previously Sondland admitted a quid Pro quo because the President of Ukraine was aware of the Giuliani campaign to get dirt on Biden.
During her testimony to Congress, Ambassador Marie Yovanovich alternated between sobbing and screaming accusations of political bias at her interrogators.
COMMENSENSA SAYS: None of them will answer the question; "How is it that diplomacy under Barack Obama became bribery under Donald Trump?"
JAMES SAYS: Here's how. It was not bribery for Biden to insist that before Ukraine would get financial help, they must immediately remove an obviously corrupt prosecutor whom everyone, including key allies of ours, was insisting had to go because of his criminal conduct.
That's a LOT different from President Trump withholding military aid until a newly elected Ukrainian president announced that he would interfere in an American election by announcing that he would investigate a candidate who would probably be running effectively against Trump.
Multiple witnesses overheard a phone call in which Trump and Sondland reportedly discussed efforts to push for the investigations. In private testimony to impeachment investigators made public Saturday, Tim Morrison, a former National Security Council aide and longtime Republican defense hawk, said Sondland told him he was discussing Ukraine matters directly with Trump.
Morrison said Sondland and Trump had spoken approximately five times between July 15 and Sept. 11 — the weeks that $391 million in U.S. assistance was withheld from Ukraine before it was released.
And he recounted that Sondland told a top Ukrainian official in a meeting that the vital U.S. military assistance might be freed up if the country’s top prosecutor “would go to the mike and announce that he was opening the Burisma investigation.” Burisma is the gas company that hired Hunter Biden.
Morrison’s testimony contradicted much of what Sondland told congressional investigators during his own closed-door deposition, which the ambassador later amended.
Trump has said he has no recollection of the overheard call and has suggested he barely knew Sondland, a wealthy donor to his 2016 campaign. But Democrats are hoping he sheds new light on the discussions.
“I’m not going to try to prejudge his testimony,” Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., said on “Fox News Sunday.” But he suggested, “it was not lost on Ambassador Sondland what happened to the president’s close associate Roger Stone for lying to Congress, to Michael Cohen for lying to Congress. My guess is that Ambassador Sondland is going to do his level best to tell the truth, because otherwise he may have a very unpleasant legal future in front of him.”
The committee will also be interviewing a long list of others. On Tuesday, they’ll hear from Morrison along with Jennifer Williams, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, Alexander Vindman, the director for European affairs at the National Security Council, and Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine.
On Wednesday the committee will hear from Sondland in addition to Laura Cooper, a deputy assistant secretary of defense, and David Hale, a State Department official. And on Thursday, Fiona Hill, a former top NSC staffer for Europe and Russia, will appear.
Trump, meanwhile, continued to tweet and retweet a steady stream of commentary from supporters as he bashed “The Crazed, Do Nothing Democrats” for “turning Impeachment into a routine partisan weapon.”
“That is very bad for our Country, and not what the Founders had in mind!!!!” he wrote. __________
SIR, It's exactly what the Founders had in mind, specifically for the possibility that someone like YOU might come along.
Here's how. It was not bribery for Biden to insist that before Ukraine would get financial help, they must immediately remove an obviously corrupt prosecutor whom everyone, including key allies of ours, was insisting had to go because of his criminal conduct.
That's exactly how it's like Democrats new definition of bribery. In this case obstructing the investigation into his son Hunter Biden in exchange for a billion dollars in aid. Only a political hack like you would call it bribery for Trump but not for Biden.
And we won't even mention the plane loads of cash Obama sent to the supreme leader in Iran to stop uranium enrichment.
