Wow - Sondlands attitude, tone -

[cilla4progress]

Very irreverent, pissy.

Seems like he's got an ax to grind. Seems to understand that he was to be the sacrificial lamb and dang well was not gonna take it lying down!

[AnotherMother4Peace]

1. Yes - well said. Sondland just sounds pissed at those who want to sacrifice him. nt

[ok_cpu]

2. Very much.

I'd love to know who he keeps directly looking at on his left. Maybe 10 o'clock or so.

[madaboutharry]

3. Do you mean the person sitting next to him?

[ok_cpu]

8. No, appears to be on the committee

I've seen him look directly at someone as he's made a couple of points.

[2naSalit]

6. Swalwell?

I think he's pissy not only because he knew he'd be sacrificed but because he's also a narcissist.

[2naSalit]

9. He can afford his own

security detail. He should be looking over his shoulder after this, he deserves it.

[joost5]

22. It's called Fuck You Money

Having so much money you can cut off ties to GOP, drumpf, and feel secure enough in your physical safety to implicate some very powerful people. He can live in comfort on his huge yacht docked off some sunny port.

[2naSalit]

24. Unless he ends up in prison...nt

[spanone]

5. Wealth seems to bring out the worse in some people.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. Maybe it's a cleansing moment of clarity for him.

Remember, John Dean today is a highly respected and well-spoken critic of presidential abuses of power.

But before 1974, John Dean was just another henchman for Nixon who helped draw up the enemies list.

[Wellstone ruled]

30. By his voice

tenor and inflections,you and I picked up on it right out of the chute.

He knows his whole mini empire is about to collapse and I need to come clean.

11. K&R, Sondland paid 1 mill for this position and all he got was a potential trip to jail !!

[dalton99a]

13. +1. As a businessman, he is cutting his losses.

[2naSalit]

14. +1

Evil is as evil does or something like that.

[steve2470]

23. +1 you nailed it, he wanted a cushy job and now he risks going to jail for his asshole boss

Yes, he's angry and going to take down everyone IF...he's going down. Maybe he will only get probation or even immunity after all this testimony.

[tblue37]

29. And he was against Trump before he realized that Trump would win, so he isn't a

true believing member of the cult, and since he bought his position, Trump probably doesn't have Putin generated kompromat on him.

[uponit7771]

36. +1

[cilla4progress]

15. He's an asshole plain and simple.

What a horrible example of an American.

We all have seen these entitled pigs. He is who they are.

[Corgigal]

18. He loved being in the mix.

Running around to President’s, they taking his call. It was his current 007 novel.

Now, he’s showing to be the rich idiot, who was used all along the way. Enjoy paying that million for this footnote in your life, fool.

[cilla4progress]

19. And he thought it was going to be

FUN!

Well, he seems pretty happy now.

[emily333]

16. Adam Schiff for prez!

Yes, Sondland seems a bit slippery. Very defensive.
Adam is tough as nails. I'm glad he's not taking any crap from anybody.

[Pacifist Patriot]

17. I'm thinking he may have read this...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/15/trump-is-throwing-sondland-under-bus-new-spin-has-fatal-defect/

or something like it.

[UTUSN]

20. Well, SHITLER loves the Joker movie, so SONDLAND is laughing his way to his own massacre!1

[Historic NY]

21. It called extricating himself....

I figured they would turn him. He'll be on the top of the prosecution witness list in the Senate.

[usaf-vet]

25. Considering that the Democrats and Republicans both realize that Trump is holding access to records.

Trump's refusal to release the records makes it impossible for either side to get complete answers.

WHY IS THIS SIMPLY NOT OBSTRUCTION! And could become another item for consideration as an impeachable offense.

[Duppers]

31. IT IS!

Indeed it's obstruction.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. He doesn't want to take the fall for Giuliani.

[redstatebluegirl]

27. I also think he is socially awkward like his boss.

Some of his reactions have been inappropriate.

[Blue_true]

28. Yes. I think the White House and Pence weresetting him up as the fall guy.

He had to see that clearly after yesterday's testimony.

Like I have said. His hotel chain is or will quietly be up for sale. He is finished, he should have listened to his wife and NEVER a trusted Trump.

[customerserviceguy]

32. Anybody

who has a million dollars to piss away on Trump's inauguration clearly has way more money than humility.

[EveHammond13]

33. I was going to say the exact same thing. Like he has no fucking clue what's wrong with any of this

I'm rich - so what? What are you going to do to me?

[Joinfortmill]

34. He's an entitled, arrogant bore.

[aggiesal]

35. It's called Affluenza! n/t
