Despite the fact that Russians have proven themselves adept at listening in on U.S. officials’ calls made from Ukraine, Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland spoke to President Donald Trump on his cellphone from a restaurant in the country’s capitol, as top Ukraine diplomat Bill Taylor revealed Wednesday.
Sondland appears to have been a wee bit over his head in this position. Probably trying to figure out how to get out of this mess and back to his humble origins of running hotels, that have probably never looked so good.
Lordy, etc.
However, the unsecured call is business as usual for the President, who routinely communicates with his cellphone despite warnings from security officials that Russian and Chinese spies are listening in.
Hell,Spanky probably let the Russians put a sim card in his phone for easy monitoring .
Part of the deal to keep the Finances quiet and the P-Tape in the vault
And let’s not forget our pal Rudy the cybersecurity expert.
Can there be any doubt that any foreign intelligence agencies that want to aren’t listening to his every butt dial?
For Pootie, Spankee, Ghouliani, Sondland, et al., are the gifts that keep on giving…
I’ll bet Uncle Vlad still cannot believe it actually all worked.
Not quite possibly, it was. Probably also listened to by the spies assigned to tail the delegation. I mean, come on.
Betcha his wife is giving him hell and more.
Can’t say I feel sorry for him though. Hope she rips him a new one.

FIFY
Probably the last Million he’ll be donating to a Rethug presidential candidate.
“But her emails!!..”
His wife may take away his checkbook privileges.
You can absolutely, positively make bank on neither of them, but most particularly him, ever getting away from this one for the rest of their lives.
In fact, it’ll outlive them. This will be preserved forever in the history books and Sondland will remembered for being a big dumb chump.

He thought it was going to be all Embassy Soirees and black tie dinners.
He forgot ETTD
I don’t think it’s a stretch to believe our LEO have a recording, too. Hard drive space is cheap.
I’m waiting for our version of the Nixon tapes.
Somewhere there is a recording and someone is going to get patriotic
The CIA probably has a recording to.
But his cellphone!!!
If he’s in custody…I dunno whether he’ll be in a position to do so anyway
Maybe he should call the Hotel Impossible guy to get him out of this jam. This is the reality TV administration, after all…
The President is exempt from many requirements and laws literally every other citizen in the nation is mandated to obey. The Hatch Act for one comes to mind. But I fail to see why it’s optional for a President to be exempt from communication guidelines, resulting in enemies breaching security measures, exposing the nation to harm.Trump is allowed to do this just…because?
If a CIA agent stationed in Kyiv used an unsecure phone to talk to another CIA agent in Italy, and Russia listened in and stole intel, there would be hell to pay.
