  1. WOULDN’T expect much from him. MONEY talks in this impeachment. HE believes tRUMP will protect him. HE is NOT a patriot. PARTY over country is the conservative motto

    1. Money over country is their motto, Ralph, although I suppose given the GOP’s history it amounts to the same thing.

    2. Yea Sondland bribbed Trump for his current position. That’s all the Traitor and GOP/GOONS OF PUTIN care a/b….. money/power/more money/more power…..

    3. Yes, money talks… but jail talks too, and he should listen to it speaking to him through the lips of Stone and Cohen.

    1. @orp0piru Good picture in that link.
      Mention any of their names to Trump’s Maga crowd and they go silent .
      Rudy Giuliani is another one mention him and they go real quiet.

  2. Trump is 73 with a family history of Alzheimer’s, his Multimillionaire father, he built NYC City Housing Complexes, after a 6 year battle with it, it eventually develops into total dementia, passed away from it in 1999. Track down videos of him from 15 to 20 years ago, then Google the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, you DON’T have to be a Dr to see that his brain is crashing, and it’s getting worse every day. The thing is, I had no idea that it was a minimum requirement of working for Donald Trump.

    1. Nadya It is less about being wealthy than being clever. Many criminals are not smart or well educated, and unfortunately, the smart ones tend to become rich. It is true that rich people hire lawyers who advise them on the value of poor memory, but then the poor ones also get public defenders who know about the value of a bad memory. However, the number of times that they reject help from a lawyer and try to represent themselves indicates that they all too often simply do not listen to good advice.

    2. Virtue has never been as respectable in society as money – Mark Twain
      Generally speaking, people who have money are the ones who shouldn’t have it – Disraeli

    3. Famous case in the 90s – that share fraud scheme run by someone who escaped conviction due to a diagnosis of (incurable) Alzheimers disease.
      Fortunately for him, he made a full recovery, and was back in business a few years later.

    1. Larry Borsa

      I think the thunder will be much louder when its played in a loop, should one of his flunkies actually pleads to it on national TV – I’m almost hoping for it to happen, but I’d rather have him come clean and drop the goods on trump.

    1. I took my credit card & went shopping for a box of integrity.
      None to be found,,, guess you must grow it as you age.

    2. @Hub Giles you CAN have it young, hanging on to it is the challenge.
      Bernie was born poor & has served honorably for decades.
      Sanders 2020

    3. @Hub Giles – Actually no – it’s either there or it’s not – it can be there without being called upon though – it’s just a matter of waking it up – in people who have it in spades, it’s been there and on display from childhood.
      When it’s active, if we’re truthful, it can get in the way – not having any can be a big advantage in the US – wealth can come much easier without it and with that type of wealth, integrity is harder to come by.

  3. tRumps voice was so loud, vulgar, profane & boorish on that national security breach phone call that Sondland had to pull it afar from his big ears. Shortly thereafter Rudy Ghouliani butt dialed Sondland. These clowns are a comedy of errors.

  4. Anytime , you get a White House employee or a politician that says ‘ I don’t recall ‘ you can pretty much bet the farm , that they are lying .

    1. 3LD

      1 leads to 2 leads to 4 leads to 16 – and so on

      Logarithmic Lie-o-Logic – or LLoL

      Coincidentally, LOL is also the acronym for the emotion that befalls me when I watch trump and his stooges crime. 😂

    2. It runs rampant through the US now. I have EVIDENCE of Sworn Testimony in a deal that was ALTERED BY THE JUDGE!! They are about to learn….

  5. Here’s a thought, “I got caught up with the power, the control and I got in over my head. I lied because I was afraid. However, I’m no longer afraid and I willing to tell the truth…”. Didn’t Michael Cohen tell ya?!

    1. And Cohen brought bank records to back his story. These tax returns will confirm years of corruption fraud and tax evasion. Tick tock
