Wonder how long it will take Sondland to resign from his post? He is underbussing himself.

Sounds like Sondland was trying to set up Hill as some anti drump person who had it out for him and she is calling him out for making it up.

Well, he should go for Rove’s record 4 revisions.

So, Sondland perjured himself while trying to unperjure his own perjury?

Sondland’s attorney, ‘Give us about fifteen minutes. We’ve got some new pages coming.’

If you work in the Toadglans maladministration you’re allowed to correct the correction to your correction to your correction to your correction to your correction to your correction of your testimony, but that’s it.

Not sure if they are saying this account was in the new testimony or the first one.

He is in the jaws of the old perjury trap.

Sounds like he fits right in this administration. He wouldn’t know the truth if he tripped over it and fell flat on his face.
Good luck coming out of this alive.

He goes in to add some conversations and details he “didn’t recall” until his “memory was refreshed” …

But forgot to cross out the shit he just made up.

Time for another trip up the hill.

What a mess he has made of his life. Everything Trump touches dies. This guy is no exception. What amazes me is how many people are liars. And apparently liars collect liars. The whole group is filled with liars. When the smoke clears, perhaps they can form a liar’s club in prison.

Someone is going to jail.

This is so far beyond maddening.

So these people can just repeatedly “revise” (aka change story when caught lying) sworn testimony to avoid prosecution for perjury? Do not-rich and/or not-white people get to do the same? Methinks not.

WTF do they have to do to be put in jail? Democrats need to start calling the Sergeant at Arms to jail people who obstruct by not showing up for subpoenaed testimony – or repeatedly lie and “revise” once caught.

I guess we can conclude they are mostly arguing about whether there was coffee at the meeting. Little doubt Hill was upset, beyond that they have different memories as to exactly what was said, but neither recollection really contradicts the other.

I love the smell of Perjury in the morning.
