How much information do you expect from Gordon Sondland today?

Do you think he will try to claim some sort of "executive privilege"?

He is in this mess so deeply that the only way out for him is to tell the truth.

Or he can remain to stay inside and cover up the truth?

Expectations seem to be high that he has no choice but to tell what he knows?

I haven't read much about her, but somehow have the impression that she has forced him to get this mess cleaned up...at least, his part in it. Reportedly, they had just done a $1M renovation on their private home, so there's that. I also saw a headline (but didn't read the article) that their hotels were losing business due to this scandal.

So, all in all, I'd say Gordon is more afraid of the head of the household than Trump.

We'll see what kind of voice he has when he sings.

He can save his marriage today.

He can save his business today.

He can come to terms with having misspent a million dollars on a bribe to trump.

And he can tell trump that the bus tire tracks on trumps face give him a dignified look.

expect the Nunes-Jordan crowd to continue to be a spectacle. They have no clue how to comport themselves.
