Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) handily dismantled the Democrats’ entire case for impeachment Wednesday, getting U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland to admit that “no one on this planet” told him that financial assistance to Ukraine was tied to corruption investigations.
“After you testified, Chairman [Adam] Schiff ran out and gave a press conference and said he gets to impeach the president of the United States because of your testimony and if you pull up CNN today, right now, their banner says ‘Sondland ties Trump to withholding aid,’” Turner said during Wednesday’s impeachment hearing. “Is that your testimony today, Ambassador Sondland?

I Wish the Rest of States in our Country had Republican Congressmen like Ohio.
Rep Mike Turner and Rep Jim Jordan are amazing, smart, quick, decisive, strong, accurate and they don't take any bs.
I hope the rest of the GOP is taking notes.

I watched that... It was a thing of beauty. Turner had Sondland giggling like an embarrassed school girl. Sondland knew he was just had. I'm beginning to respect these Republicans.

Ambassador Sondland backed away from his testimony saying that he "presumed" that President Trump meant quid pro quo” regarding military aid for corruption investigations .
FTA: Sondland eventually admitted to Republicans that Trump had told him “I want nothing, I want no quid pro quo” regarding military aid or requests for corruption investigations in Ukraine. “It was a very short, abrupt conversation,” the ambassador said. “He was not in a good mood. And he just said, ‘I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Tell Zelensky to do the right thing.’ Something to that effect.”
It is now obvious that Sondland willfully lied in his earlier testimony. He has caused great harm because his "presumption," was presented as "fact" earlier allowing Schiff and CNN to claim they had proof of President Trump corruption. The fact that Sondland had to have the truth dragged out of him shows his evil intent.

The only thing I like about Schiff is that he is leading CNN and the rest of the democrat media cheerleaders deeper into the valley of death. But, they seem to remain enthusiastic to continue the journey.

Leaving out the Trump quote from his opening statement was shameful. His testimony time was a total waste and total sham. One question.. will Schiff now charge his witness, Ambassador Sonderland, with perjury? He can't, in the same day, give as testimony, under oath, two things that are contradictory. He's lying one time or the other?

#1. Don't forget crediting Elise Stefanik for her bravery! She will be challenged, big time, by some Soros backed candidate in her North Country NY district. Send her a campaign donation: https://secure.winred.com/EliseStefanik/donate This millenial businesswoman, a Harvard graduate, is absolutely driving the Left nuts!

My fellow Buckeyes are making me very proud! Mike Turner and Jim Jordan are doing masterful work and I applaud them. They get it and are willing to fight on behalf of this President and the people they represent. Well done, gentlemen.

I made up a poem when I heard a Joe Biden speech. I think it applies here.
Presume
You think
You are right
You are not, You are wrong
Unless you have the truth and facts
Poor Kid.

Meanwhile the local news portrayed Sondland as the impeachment hearing's star witness who proved the existence of quid pro quo. It never fails to amaze that different news sources are portraying this story 180 degrees apart. They both cannot be true. Who is lying?

There's not enough money the Dems could confiscate to pay off our existing debt, forget their pie in the freebie fest they are promising if elected.

Turner's short few minutes entirely guts their lies and their Fake News headlines.
Enemedia, making up more Fake News.

It sounds like Sondland made a very stupid mistake in this "assumption" but I had been wondering if he got told this by someone else besides Trump. Turner masterfully shut that down by dropping a PLANET on it. NO ONE on this PLANET told Sondland that there was a quid pro quo.
Sondland may have felt this was an important issue and it is. It, corruption from Ukraine that may have impacted the US, is certainly something that the President has a right to be concerned about. But it was Sondland ALONE that inflated this into a quid pro quo. Also, interestingly enough, no one in Ukraine seems to have gotten that impression.
Once again, a fake accusation that NO ONE supports. So the dems throwing around "quid pro quo", "bribery", "extortion", and whatever other focus group tested buzzwords are MAKING IT ALL UP. AGAIN.
They are playing games with our Country and they should pay a BIG price for that.
