Lefties got riled up yesterday after MSM reported Gordon Sondland allegedly changed his testimony and was now implicating Trump in a corrupt act. Here is the key quote of Sondland's statement leaked by Adam Schiff:
“After that large meeting, I now recall speaking individually with Mr. Yermak, where I said that resumption of U.S. aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anti-corruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks,”
Here, Sondland passes on his own opinion. He is not quoting anyone in the Trump Admin or communicating official policy toward Ukraine. However, this is the quote that the NYTimes used to fire up Trump hating Dems yesterday.
Additionally, it was only a few days after Sondland’s conversation with Yermak, (advisor to Ukraine Pres. Zelensky) that Sondland texted diplomat Bill Taylor that the president made it “crystal clear” there was no quid pro quo. Here, Sondland is passing on official Trump Admin policy toward Ukraine. These statements are clear and unambiguous.
