What Went Down During Gordon Sondland’s Testimony

Um, Chad I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious. They aren’t taking Sondland’s word.

Goldman has Sondland acknowledge the only logical assessment is that the aid was tied up with the quid pro quo over investigation. But it was an assumption on his part. Will the GOP take a major GOP donor’s word on the subject, or try and find some daylight in that presumption?

Sondland basically says that the entire government wanted the aid to Ukraine released. So the details of this testimony aside, it goes to what the New Yorker’s Susan Glasser has written: we basically have a “government of one,” particularly on foreign policy.
