Sondland/Volker testimonies released.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/05/politics/gordon-sondland-kurt-volker-transcripts-impeachment-inquiry/index.html

In his updated testimony, Mr. Sondland recounted how he had discussed the linkage with Andriy Yermak, a top adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, on the sidelines of a Sept. 1 meeting between Vice President Mike Pence and Mr. Zelensky in Warsaw. Mr. Zelensky had discussed the suspension of aid with Mr. Pence, Mr. Sondland said.

“I said that resumption of the U.S. aid would likely not occur until Ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we had been discussing for many weeks,” Mr. Sondland said in the document, which was released by the House committees leading the inquiry, along with the transcript of his original testimony from last month.


Sondland said after hearing Taylor's testimony he "recalled" the events and confirmed there was a quid pro quo.

Kornacki just discussed some scary polling on Morning Joe

He pointed out that the top 4 candidates (Biden, Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg) are all polling nationally above Trump, obviously with Biden leading the pack slightly.

But they also polled 6 battleground states: Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, and PA.

Biden is leading Trump in all 6. Sanders is leading in 3. Warren is only leading in 1.

He also said that a lot of the people polled who voted for Democrats in the Midterm Congressional races plan on going back to Trump in 2020.

WTH?!! Why would people go back to Trump after voting for Dems in 2018? It is so disgusting to me how stupid this country is. I really have absolutely no faith this country is going to realize how dangerous Trump is and get rid of him next year.

Tulsi Gabbard was just on Sean Hannity

She was attacking the impeachment probe, using the exact same talking points as Republicans that she has no idea what Dems are doing and she wants transparency. There is also talk Fox and Wall Street Execs are trying to get her to run as a 3rd party candidate. Jill Stein 2.0

This should concern everyone. Gabbard is no friend of Democrats.

Tulsi Gabbard on Sean Hannity

Looks like Hillary was right yet again. Gabbard was just on Sean Hannity attacking the Impeachment Inquiry, saying she has no idea what's going on but wants transparency. Apparently there is talk that Fox and Wall Street Execs are trying to get her to run as a 3rd party candidate. Jill Stein 2.0.


I have absolutely zero faith the 2020 election is going to be fair.

Why do you think Dems are refusing to legally punish anyone?

All the ignored subpoenas, the refusal to turn over documents, the breach of security by 40 Republicans storming in a SCIF and recording themselves there...

Republicans keep breaking the law because no one is punishing them. Why do you think Dems are refusing to use inherent contempt or the Sergeant at Arms to arrest people?

Anyone successfully move to another country?

Either by applying for a job or retiring to another country. Where did you end up and how was the process? Do you regret it or are you enjoying the change? What made you move?

Hillary warning that not only does Putin had kompromat on Trump

which we all knew, but Russia is grooming Tulsi Gabbard to run as a 3rd party candidate. The new Jill Stein.

Tulsi was laughing it up with Tucker Carlson on Fox this week. I would not be surprised if she does this. And lots of anti-Trump Republicans and Independents will vote for her over a real Democrat.

How do we stop another 3rd party spoiler in 2020?

Question about Oversight Committee now.

Been out of the country for a few days so missed a lot of news. So sad to hear about Rep. Cummings. I'm a MD resident, although he wasn't my Representative. Such a huge loss for Maryland and America.

Has there been any mention of what happens with the Oversight committee now? Who would take over the Chair position and will that committee still be heavily involved in the impeachment inquiry?
