17. When Sondland Said That

My immediate reaction was that Sondland was backtracking, then I said that Trump will run with that. But I couldn't put my finger on exactly why that was so, not realizing it was a timeline issue. But when Trump ran with it so fiercely it was pretty clear Sondland was at that moment speaking to an audience of one. And when you look at how he prefaced the comments he was about to make it is lawyerly and intended to give cover to any possible perjury. So Simpson does a really great job here and nails it down precisely.
