Why is everyone so excited about the Sondland testimony if he testified that Trump straight up told him no quid pro quo?
Because he said:
- Pence
- Pompeo
- Mulvaney
- Bolton
- Volker
, were all in the loop on Ukraine and knew about Rudy's antics.
And with all the different signals he got he went to Trump directly to ask him what he wanted.
That's when Trump told him: "No quid pro quo"
Where it falls flat though is that Trump nor anyone else on the planet ever(this was actually a question) told him directly the aid was tied to the investigations.
Sondland testified he 'presumed' this was the case based on the information and different signals he got.
