Based on Sondland testimony, House is fully entitled to hear from, at a minimum: Pompeo, Bolton,... mahatmakanejeeves Nov 2019 #22
I want Bolton's testimony mucifer Nov 2019 #23
They won't get any of them before this committee. They're 45-over-impeachment process. ancianita Nov 2019 #24
Sondland matches speed of questioner, will fail under Jacketoff questioning Hermit-The-Prog Nov 2019 #25
I agree. mucifer Nov 2019 #26

Except that his meticulous questioning isn't getting much from Sondland. ancianita Nov 2019 #46
Sondland being quite evasive despite laying it all out in his opening stmt Roland99 Nov 2019 #55
Goldman's being a bit too adversarial and his frustration is coming across DeminPennswoods Nov 2019 #59
I seriously doubt that Sondland falls for any happy horseshit style. ancianita Nov 2019 #69
