What Went Down During Gordon Sondland’s Testimony

I think this part is important too — how did Sondland come to the conclusion that the military aid was conditioned on the announcement of the investigations?

I guess this is the sign of a good lawyer. I feel like the Democratic counsel has been asking questions for three hours and has asked 197 questions. I’m sure it has not been three hours, but the counsel has asked a lot of short, careful questions.

And also, Nathaniel, it shows how a lot of this is coming down to hair-splitting and word-parsing. But the announcement and the investigations were functionally inseparable, as Perry said. If the investigations got announced, how could the Ukrainians back out?
