[In 60 seconds, Ohio Congressman Mike Turner dismantled the Democrats' case for impeachment during last week's inquiry testimony by Ambassador Gordon Sondland. Needless to say, the exchange was ignored by most of the lamestream media.]
Read the following text, and pay close attention ...
Turner: “After you testified, Chairman Schiff ran out and gave a press conference and said he gets to impeach the president of the United States because of your testimony, and if you pull up CNN today right now their banner says: Sondland Ties Trump to Withholding Aid. Is that your testimony today, Ambassador Sondland, that you have evidence that Donald Trump tied the investigation to the aid, because I don’t think you’re saying that?”
Sondland: “I’ve said repeatedly, congressman, I was presuming. I also said that President Trump never—“
Turner: “So, no one told you. Not just the president? Giuliani didn’t tell you. Mulvaney didn’t tell you. Nobody. Pompeo didn’t tell you. Nobody else on this planet told you that Donald Trump was tying aid to these investigations? Is that correct?”
Sondland: “I think I already testified to that.”
Turner: “No answer the question: Is it correct? No one on this planet told you that Donald Trump was tying this aid to the investigation? Because if your answer is yes then the chairman’s wrong and the headline on CNN is wrong. No one on this planet told you that President Trump was tying aid to investigations? Yes or no?”
Sondland: "Yes."
Turner: “So, you really have no testimony that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations?”
Sondland: “Other than my own presumption.”
