Vice President Mike Pence's office released a statement Wednesday morning refuting Ambassador Gordon Sondland's testimony that he told Pence about the alleged quid pro quo being pushed by President Donald Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani.
“The Vice President never had a conversation with Gordon Sondland about investigating the Bidens, Burisma, or the conditional release of financial aid to Ukraine based upon potential investigations," said the statement by Pence's Chief of Staff Marc Short.
Isn't lying to Congress punishable in some way, shape or form? I guess not if you're a democrat or one of their toadies.

They needed to drag Pence into the scam at some time to clear the decks for President Pelosi. After you have recovered from retching wait until you hear who her VP would be, well until Nancy stepped down for health reasons.

Sondland has to be the worst witness in history. A man of his business acumen should know better, I am frankly amazed how he has been so successful. I can safely predict that every slip and fall lawyer in the Northwest U.S. are lining up clients now since he is so horrible. I have testified in federal court on several occasions and was "trained" in how to testify by my attorneys and the first thing they tell you is to just answer the question, don't volunteer anything, don't go off on a rant, and most important, listen the the question and make sure you know what you are answering. He failed in every possible way.

I'm not an expert on any angle of this, but listening carefully I concluded that this man was rather easily swayed by what others tell him. He didn't take notes. What?! And he presumes an awful lot. He may be a fun guy at a party but sheesh, this is what we get when the highest bidder wins the post.

Look at Sondland's body language. Smiling, rolling his eyes around the room, joking. This guy either thinks this is a joke, or he doesn't care. This is not a serious person, and not very smart either. Sondland answered yes and no to the same question many times. Both the Democrat counsel and the Republicans got angry and frustrated with this fool, and it didn't get any better when they asked him to clarify his contradictions, those responses being even more baffling. When Schiff gave his summation, telling Sondland what he had just testified to, listing off dozens of conclusions, Sondland sat there glancing up and down, still with any look of concern or sense about the gravity of what he had just done, and that the Democrats intend to use him, Gordon Sondland, to advance an impeachment to the Senate. You would think that would be a more somber moment for Mr. Sondland, but it wasn't.

This guy is what we get when ambassador's jobs go to the highest bidder. It is well know that the biggest donors get the best locations. That's how JBK's father Joe got to be in London.

It is obvious that, given the pressure put on Sondland's wife's real estate and hotel business, Sondland was sent in to Sing. Honey, did I do a good job?

What is Sondland being promised?
Will we find his home is suddenly mortgage free soon?

Do I smell perjury? I hope the Ambassador has a good attorney. I think it is time the ambassador starts looking for some other employment.

Clearly the Democrats are trying to suck Mike Pence into their impeachment scam so that they can also impeach and remove him from office as an accessory to President Trump’s “crime” of using his discretion to get the Ukrainian Government to investigate massive corruption, that maybe includes former Vice-President Joseph Biden and his son in Ukraine, a country that has been receiving a large amount of US foreign aid and military assistance some of which could have been waylaid through those corrupt activities. If the wimpy Republican Senators allowed that to occur, Nancy Pelosi would be the President and would be able to pick her Vice-President, no doubt a Democrat politician recommended to her by the Democrat Party top movers and shakers in a manner that would give that yet unknown Democrat politician a big leg up to get the Democrat nomination for President next Summer, and probably in the 2020 general election, as those Republican Senators, by allowing that to happen, would be committing political suicide, Trump’s supporters would see to that.

The federal whistleblower laws and internal Agency Inspector Generals have jurisdiction over federal employees and the federal bureaucratic agencies. The whole matter of “This claimed “Whistleblower” is mute because the federal whistleblower laws do not encompass the making of complaints by subordinates in the White House because they do not like the President’s foreign policy decisions or the way he exercises his discretion. It is clear that the whistleblower laws do not relate to the President or to White House Operations because the President is not a federal employee but is the elected constitutional executive, and White House Operations and staff are not a federal bureaucratic agency, and are there solely to carry out the policies, both domestic and foreign, of the President. That’s why there is no internal White House Inspector General appointed to administer the whistleblower laws there.
This supposed “whistleblower’s” complaint contains information that was leaked to him or her by people employed in the White House. The “Whistleblower” then filed his or her compliant with the intelligence community Inspector General, who did not have jurisdiction under the federal whistleblower laws to accept and move forward with such a complaint against the President, and was told that by the Department of Justice. Clearly this is a set up by the Democrats to conceal the identity of their supposed very partisan “whistleblower” who is not a legitimate whistleblower at all under the federal whistleblower laws. It is ludicrous to believe that a President will be removed from office based upon a report found to contain false and tenuous information authored by an obvious partisan Democrat anonymous individual who is being fraudulently portrayed by partisan Democrats as being a whistleblower under federal law.

AG Barr could help end this farce before too many more good people and our Constitution gets trashed. All he would need to do is throw down of few key perjury charges. I know, he has a 4d chess mind and we'll have a good laugh over how we were sucked in and how he executed a brilliant master-plan to throw all the bad guys in prison for 60 years each - just like Sessions. Or, he could simply issue a press release stating that he is taking notes and any perjury will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and the maximum penalty will be sought - yeah, right.

Sondland has been contaminated by the EU, which the democrats lust to resemble.

I don't watch, and I let things simmer for a few days.
This is ALL BS, and the "witnesses", as near as can be told, witnessed NOTHING AT ALL, and have just "testilied" to their opinions, impressions, and third and fourth hand gossip.
Why waste time on this garbage?
