This is why the Dems have these hearings. Because their chosen witnesses give their accusations first which the MSM broadcasts as the smoking gun, and later the cross examination reveals that the Dems really have nothing except their own hatred.
From the testominy this AM:
"“I shared concerns of the POTENTIAL quid pro quo regarding the security aid with Senator Ron Johnson,” Sondland said, referring to the Republican senator involved in Ukraine policy. “And I also shared my concerns with the Ukrainians.” HE STRESSED HE NEVER GOT A CLEAR ANSWER ON WHY the aid was held up, sayingIN THE ABSENCE OF AN EXPLANATION HE CAME TO BELIEVE THAT THE AID AND THE INVESTIGATIONS WERE LINKED"..
I pity any fellow jurors who ever do duty with you almost as I pity the accused.
And was a direct political appointee for his position. At this point only you Steve Miller and a few others are not never Trumpers. Good job.

Trump is guilty of this corrupt act. Maybe you don't think it is a big deal. But he is so obviously guilty.
We all know Trump asked Zelensky to continue to investigate corruption and included the Bidens as an example. We give you that.
But so far, not one shred of evidence has emerged that delaying aid was tied to this request. None.
It seems the underlings assumed it was, spread the word around to each other, and here we have a circular series of testimonies based on what so far amounts to a rumor started by one or more of the underlings.
You say Trump "is so obviously guilty." Look at all the exonerated people getting out of prisons every week because the evidence pointed to these defendents being "so obviously guilty." If I was accused of a crime I didn't commit, I'd hate for you to be on my jury.
Honestly. I don't know any credible people who think that this impeachment hearing isn't a farce. I think you know that privately.
My personal opinion is that had it occurred, I wouldn't care since such dealings are routine and legal. He's the POTUS, and he get's to make such decisions.
Dems have tried to deceive the public with the aid of the corrupt MSM, and to turn it into a crime in the minds of the voters.
Still, there is zero evidence that it happened, and in the meantime, you guys have caused grave harm to the presidency as well as out ability to carry out foreign policy in the future.
The assholes in the State dept were not elected. They are mad that Trump has done things differently in a way that excludes some of them at times (which is his right and is what the American Electorate voted for).
Also, this was all clearly coordinated, and was clearly Plan B after Mueller failed.
“Mr. Giuliani's requests were a quid pro quo for arranging a White House visit" for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Sondland says”
Mr. Giuliani was expressing the desires of the President of the United States, and we knew that these investigations were important to the President,"
As noted by all news outlets.
“Gordon Sondland told House impeachment investigators Wednesday that President Donald Trump directed Rudy Giuliani to pursue a "quid pro quo."
PS: Sondland is hardly a “Never Trumper”.
