What Went Down During Gordon Sondland’s Testimony

Sondland is carefully not actually throwing Taylor, Holmes or the other bureaucrats under the bus or criticizing them for their testimony. It is interesting. He is, I think, trying to find a path that doesn’t annoy anyone that much. Not sure if he is succeeding.

It’s very odd, Sarah. Especially considering the text we just saw and the number of conversations that Sondland and Trump apparently had.

It really is bizarre. “President Trump never told me directly that the aid was conditioned on the meetings.” Yet, Sondland has testified at multiple points today that it was his personal belief that that is why the aid was held up. That’s such an odd needle to thread, no?
