In a significant reversal, a top US diplomat revised his testimony to impeachment investigators to admit there was a quid pro quo linking US aid to Ukraine with an investigation into President Donald Trump's political rivals.
US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland sent the committee a three-page addition to his testimony on Monday, saying he had remembered a September 1 conversation that occurred on the sidelines of a meeting between Vice President Mike Pence and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he told a top aide to Zelensky that the security aid and investigations were linked.
He just happened to remember, huh? What a bunch of BS. Also, Biden isn’t Trump’s opponent at this point nor will he be at the end.

I'm thinking maybe a couple of folks visited with Gordon and helped him "remember." You know, just lie how Rodney Dangerfield's character brought a couple of goons to help Judge Smalls find his wallet (in Caddyshack).
Now they can add Mike Pence to the impeachment list so Nasty Nancy can be crowned Queen Nancy of America and end the barbaric practice of elections.

They have to figure a way to drag Pence into the picture so that both President and VP can be impeached and wa la.......President Pelosi!

If they impeach PDJT for QPQ then they MUST impeach Quid Pro Joe.

The transcript doesn't show it. And that's all that matters.

Wonder if was charged with lying under oath, he’d change his story back to his original statement?

Sondland assumed there was a connection. Trump told him there wasn't one. He had no business saying there was if the President had told him otherwise. But in any event, the money was sent with no strings attached. So no quid pro quo, even if one has actually been discussed earlier.

So, the Aid for FY 2019 was only approved in Feb 2019 instead of Oct 1 2018 as it should have been.
The Democrats were desperate to get the tacit approval from Trump that he will release the aid.
The Ukraine is holding Presidential election, that ends up in a run-off.
April 21 - Zelensky wins the run-off
May 6 - U.S.Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovich is removed from office.
May 13 - Barr announces investigation into origins of Russia probe.
July 26 - Call between Trump and Zelensky
Aug 12 - complaint filed with IG Atkinson
Sep 9 - Bill Taylor and Sondland exchange texts where Sondland notes Trump is trying to evaluate whether Zelensky intends to follow through on his campaign promise of adopting transparency and reforms
Sep 11 - Aid to Ukraine is released.
Now, is it unreasonable to think that caution would be used on releasing aid that Democrats seemed so interested in getting released before the Ukraine election, and then knowing there was a run-off, and a new president to assess? In a country that's KNOWN for the corruption?

They are desperate at this point to make something out of this crap. He clearly did not know why the aid was held up and it was eventually sent with no corresponding investigation. This is more nothingburger.
I'm not sure what evidence that Giuliani received regarding Biden's deal to get the prosecutor fired is considered "not credible". Based on the letter John Solomon published from his FOIA request the State Department was notified by Burisma that Hunter Biden was in legal jeopardy and Joe hopped on a plane and had the prosecutor fired shortly thereafter. Biden has not only admitted to this but he bragged about it. Maybe they think Joe's confession is not credible

CNN will soon be implicated in the conspiracy with others. I wonder who from the Mueller team relayed the raid on Roger Stone's house to CNN ahead of time. They've gone all in baby trying to make an inside straight when they're already defeated by the Republic's Royal Flush.

Quid pro quo is getting as much traction as greasy wheels on black ice.
