After Sondland Admits Guilt, Why Hasn't He Been Let Go? | MSNBC
Sondland: “Everyone was in the loop.”
Wow…Sondland came to the hearing yesterday with a convoy of buses. ” You get a bus, and you get a bus, and YOU…..yes you get a bus too!!! You’re ALL getting a BUS!!!”😄
November 20, 2019 will be remembered as the “great bus massacre.” The day that Gordon Sondland threw Trump and all of his henchmen under a bus. 😄
@keith parkhill yeah if trump gets his monica he could be in trouble. Right now he will be impeached but even bipartisan lawyers say as of right now there is not enough for a removal
🚌🚍🚌🚍lol!
You ever wonder why Donald Trump doesn’t wear glasses? Because he doesn’t need to. He already has 2020 !!!
Hope it’s a Double Decker Bus….

Simple, because he knows way more than we’ve heard so far. He might be indicted because he was too close to the fire. He slept with a filthy dog and is now covered with fleas. Matter of time….
Peter Schotanus POW 💥
And paid $1,000,000.00 for the opportunity. Lol!
The gentleman who testified today , Holmes I think . anyway in his testimony he proved that Sondland perjured himself again yesterday to congress. they are not done with him yet. i’d bet in those files he keeps saying would help him remember is the whole ball of wax. he was in knee deep.
Roses are red
violets are blue
Seth Rich is dead
and Epstein too
He’s there because the WH thinks that firing him would be admitting that something happened that people should be fired over… and that’s not the message they want to send right now.
Ken Lord agree
That’s why Mulvaney is still there
👌🏾perfectly said!
@Rondatto Mayes 😒 oh yeah…Mr. “Get over it”
Talk about “being in the loop” is dominating discussion today. Can you see “the loop” is becoming “a noose”?
Let’s get into todays’ noose cycle and have an impeachment flash mob in front of The White House.
that word “noose” is racially insensitive…typical democrat…since they fought to keep slavery
@BRYSON GRAY You need to brush up on your American history. The democratic party has been the party of racial equality ever since the civil rights movement of the 60’s when white racial bigots fled the party.
Not really, John. Sondland testified that his belief that Trump was pushing for a quid quo pro was based on Sondland’s conjecture. If this were a court of law, limited by the federal rules of justice, Sondland’s testimony would not even be admitted.
I’d get a body guard if I were him.
It’s ok, no Clinton link here…He’ll be fine.
I agree
@CC cro No, if you were Sondland, Putin is the last guy you’d want to “protect” you. Putin helped Trump get elected and now Trump is beholden to Putin: quid pro quo. Putin sees Trump is in trouble and knows he might lose his “asset”. What’s a self-respecting ex-spymaster and criminal mastermind going to do? He’ll help Trump by getting his Sondland problem to “disappear”.
MAGA = Moscow’s Asset Governing America. Putin has every reason to keep it that way.
@David Ramsay Putin helped Trump hey? Based on what evidence? You mean the two guys who said “it must’ve been Putin” because they believed the only way the DNC could be hacked by Russians was if Putin authorized them to? If you know something that Congress doesn’t, you should tell them, because the Dems are dying on this whole quid pro quo thing, especially Sleepy Biden. Go ahead, link anything resembling evidence that isn’t just he said she said.
@David Johnson “Go ahead, link anything resembling evidence that isn’t just he said she said.”

That’s just 3 links. There’s more out there. You’re a smart guy. Do your own research and report back.
Because he obviously is holding a “Trump card” in the form of some sort or records that Trump is terrified of. Trump didn’t personally attack him either, which isn’t like Trump. Between Sondland and Rudy Trump will have to decide if he wants to screw himself or not.
Bingo. And yesterday was Sondland’s way of telling Trump to leave him alone or else. Notice how Trump’s twitter feed had a gap of a little over 26 hours in which Sondland suddenly wasn’t mentioned at all. http://trumptwitterarchive.com/archive
Maybe $1M buys you one major offense against POTUS… 🤷🏻♂️
Kinda a Get out of Jail Free Card
Next offense he’s fair game…
Things not going your way? CONSPIRACY! It’s not like he’d be going to jail for perjury if he lied. None of you morons have ever explained the whole issue about Ukraine receiving aid before anything else happened. This whole conspiracy is about people who used to think that there was a quid pro quo, and then coming to congress to get beaten down by Jim Jordon.
Of course you pathetic Never Trumpers are going to infer that he is doing nefarious things at every turn, which is why several people were all in the loop on quid pro quo before ultimately admitting Trump himself wasn’t even in the loop. Instead of your evidence being “the devil does what he does”, why don’t you substantiate something? Congress could really use some actual evidence.
I’d ask for my Million dollars back…
Exactly my thinking : Sondland knows much more …
Hill has put her finger on the most important fact in all this. Bright shiny object… Trump’s clumsy blundering plan to investigate Biden etc. REAL problem, Russia’s planned and ongoing interference in 2020 elections. If we don’t want more of the same, we need to concentrate on what she has flagged up. Get rid of Trump by all means, but don’t take your eye off the Russian interference ball folks
*Just Imagining what our dead soldiers and their families fighting Russia feel and our forefathers of United States rolling in their graves, if it wasn’t for these heroes testifying Russian 🇷🇺 would be on the white house*
Impeachment update- The evidence is damning. Tyranny by an “elected.” A businessman, of an organisation, known to defraud groups / countries of people’s vested with him. The wake, that emanates from “juggernaut Trump” is wide and growing. For example, policies along racial lines. Out reach to White supremacists – Xenophobic and the judgemental approach policies. George Orwell wrote a book, “Animal farm” calling it a “fairy tale.” It documents the rise of Soviet Russia to the zenith of statehood after the overthrow of Tsarists Russia. The final scene opens around the farmhouse occupied by the pigs (stereotypes are implied), while other Animals of the farm, staring in, they see transformations of pig to human. One of the greatest moments in literature. It disturbs, it frightens and its true… But was it about Russia?
Trump : Sondland? Never met the man.
Jeffrey De Freese 😂😂😂
Its a new game called musical buses. They should run a competition to see who can guess the correct order people will get thrown under.
The wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round
♪♫♬♫♪♫♬♫♪♪♫♬♬♫♪
Trump can’t fire him if he does game over
Spanky hopes Sondland will make another $1 million contribution for 2020.
Holmes is a “first hand” witness. He heard exactly what Sondland and trump discussed regarding Ukraine. HUGELY IMPORTANT.
I think you meant to say ‘Bigly Important’..
😏👍🏼
TRUMP: “Save me, Vladdy.”
Sneaky Sondland also tried to cover for traitor trump. Shameless
Headlines are saying he threw Trump under the bus.
Voters: Knock knock.
trump: Who’s there?
Voters: Not you anymore!
Stupid
The Allman Bros said it best…”If you lay down with snakes…you’ll come up poisoned every time!”. Trumps Whitehouse is a huge den of snakes!
