After yesterday, Republicans will need to re-calibrate.

34. I have a feeling...

They're going to find themselves being forced to recalibrate numerous times next week. When Lt Colonel Vindman & Gordon Sondland testify, their "second hand, third hand, fourth hand" arguments will be down the proverbial crapper.

Sondland is a wild card but I think his revised testimony is a pretty strong indicator that he sees the writing on the wall. He has to see that that he is already being thrown under the bus by Trump & his minions - in other words, THE ENTIRE GOP.

Couple that with the outcome of Roger Stone's trial and I think he's going to roll all over Trump, Giuliani, Mulvaney, and everyone else involved, to save his skin. (And his hotels, of course.) And it can't escape notice that Manafort is still sitting in prison, nary a pardon in sight.

First one to roll over always gets the best deal. And he doesn't look like a guy who'd fare well in prison... even if it is only Club Fed.
