    Schiff has already lied... in less than 5 minutes. What a piece of crap.

    Trump NEVER asked for a "favor" to "investigate the Bidens". The ONLY favor Trump asked for was to look into the corruption, meddling in U.S. Elections, and the Crowdstrike actions. The Bidens were not mentioned for paragraphs and other topics later. The two events are separated in the conversation.

    Currently Schiff is summarizing the events leading to this event. The lone comment from a Republican has been a point of inquiry to determine whether a limit has been set to the number of 45 minute periods that Schiff and Nunes are allowed apiece before the 5 minute segments.

    That question was basically answered with a, "let's wait and see."

    Schiff for brains is now trashing Sondland.

    That is not a very convincing argument. Trump is absolutely continuing the requests in those later portions of the conversation.

    LOL, Sondland had little to do with anything and could not pony up Schiff for brains agenda. Lefties here were praising Sondland, now they will have to tear him down. Priceless.

    Nunes opening statement is "Forget about this Ukraine, let's talk about previous investigations."

    Sondland altered his sworn testimony to explicitly disclose that he told Ukrainian officials that a Quid Pro Quo existed if they wanted their White House meeting.

    Horse hockey. He wasn't even the Ukrainian Ambassador. He testified he heard if from Taylor. Taylor admitted he heard it from the NYT. The clown show must go on.

    Sondland is still the key to these hearings, since he's the only one who got information directly from the horse's........... mouth...

    Everything before that is just set up... I would have thought he would have been the final day witness, but they went with Hill instead...

    I hope she's as fiery as parts of her deposition.

    Sondland is the key, as far as I can tell...

    Sondland PERSONALLY delivered that QPQ to Ukrainian Officials. Keep up.

    “I said that resumption of the U.S. aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks,” Sondland said in the written statement

    Why would he do that? He is the EU Ambassador and not the Ukrainian Ambassador and testified he had little to do with it.

    Democrats "Forget about this Ukraine". ;-)

    "Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found."

    POLITICO, Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire, Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton., By KENNETH P. VOGEL and DAVID STERN 01/11/2017 05:05 AM EST.

    I find it sad that Schiff has to give Taylors full resume here... To be an ambassador to a foreign country should imply being above politics, unless otherwise proven...

    One of the explicit allegations from this entire proceeding is that Trump led a shadow diplomatic effort that did not directly involve those people who should have been involved, a la using Sondland instead of Taylor to deliver that QPQ.

    Unless somebody decides to take the track that Sondland went off the reservation and did it for and by himself...

    Uh huh....
