Smoking Gun Nightmare: Trump Ally Now ‘Recalls’ Ukraine Bribery Plot, An Impeachable Offense | MSNBC

80 comments

    1. Trump is dishonest, a liar and buffoon . He is a successful social path.
      The facts are he has no morals and no depth. Trump is a buffoon and crook. The proof is complete.

    2. You will wait a longtime for an intelligent and truthful comment from a Trump supporter.
      His good comments are Russian botts meant to divide America.

      Trump has no honest defense.

    1. Ah, Mr. Sondlands wife put her foot down. She was NOT willing to lose everything they had built for the POS in the WH.

    1. @Kevin Coop That’s wishful thinking. The meaning of words is not changed by the happenstance that it helps our case.

    2. Gottenhimfella The whole thing is disgrace of our country! Very very far from making our country great again. How Trumpers still believe his bold faced lies is way beyond my realm of understanding as a human being.

  1. Didn’t Sondland realize that other witnesses would contradict his testimony? He set himself up for perjury 🤦‍♂️

    1. Ganiscol Trump probably promised them a pardon. He has been looking into how many people he can pardon during his presidency, already.

    2. Pontus Ekholm yes they understand checks and balances, why didn’t they come forward at the beginning. Why did they wait till the deal was done, or should I say after they got caught?

  2. Lets see the transscripts of his talks with Putin…..if this is a bombshell, I promise you….that transscript will be like the sun imploding.

    1. @Alexis Rivera You have been paying attention. The government doesn’t do recordings. That took down a president. That would result in accountability.
      Can’t have that in the government.

  3. Seems like someone wants to earn a “Get out of jail” card after at least hiding the truth formerly… 😂😂😂😁😁😁

  4. Sondland, Gordon Sondland? Uhhh, nope, never heard of him. But people are saying he’s a BIGLY never-trumper, a total loser, and a liar! He’s going to be going through some things. -The Lyin’ King

    1. @Tetaake Groves I wrote it in Stephen Colbert’s voice! 😉 I’m not even kidding! Right now I’m regretting not including at least one “dot dot dot”, but I’ll add it and repost on a Colbert video tonight! See ya there! ✌️👍💜

    2. OMG 😂 – first ‘liarside chat’ from a few comments above, and now ‘The Lyin’ King’ – hilarious 😂

    3. Dot dot dot, dot dot, he’s another angry Democrat who hates Trump and gave him a million dollars so he could set him up in the new BIGGEST WITCH HUNT IN HISTORY.

    1. Joshua Xiong right, it’s gonna be hard to use the regular phrases with this one. A guy who gives him a million doallars can’t be deep state.

    2. “Sondland? Where have I heard that name? He contributed to my campaign? It was a small contribution really. Not much at all. Hardly any money, for a really rich guy like me!.”

    1. He saw the light at the end of the tunnel, turns out it was a freight train coming for Trump, Giulliani, Pompeo, and probably a few assorted minions, enablers and incompetents, with any luck at all. Make it so, or hang your heads in shame.

    1. Yes. The reason Trump constantly denies “quid pro quo” is because he thinks he has covered his back on that charge and wants impeachment to be all about a quid pro quo. He did the same when he made the Mueller report about “collusion” rather than obstruction of justice. The media needs to get wise and stop falling into his trap. Trump is a gas-lighter, he has people calling a memorandum a transcript and a big metal fence a wall.

    2. @Daniel Lindy Indeed. Calling it bribery is like referring to a sexual assault as “seduction”.
      Bribery is an appeal to greed. This was a threat to survival.

    1. @Jugganuat Cohen plea bargained away tax charges involving millions. He also was an attorney. His sentence would take things into account that aren’t present with Sondland.

    2. @D Mack cohen was also found guilty in the hush money scheme that was a campaign violation remember trump was named the unindicted co-conspirator. He said in front of congress that he was going to prison for something he did for trump

    3. Jugganuat , I figured he was only acting like a lackey, Cohen got what he deserved.
      Trump should get life in prison.

  5. The worst president in the history of America. The worst administration in the history of America. They are making Warren Harding look good

  6. The genius of the “enough rope” strategy is a beautiful thing. Weather report: Major Avalanche Predicted.

  7. “Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.” –Samuel Johnson

  8. Trump lies so much that when he said to me “I will die tomorrow” death itself had to show up and corrected him
