Especially since Taylor took notes and brought them with him.
Shh… don’t give sound legal advice for free!
Selective amnesia. A major theme in the Mueller report (alongside missing evidence).
This is how they roll. All while trying to have it both ways (Hey, I testified despite being ordered not to.) Of course, then I lied my ass off. Jeez, it’s not like I was one of the Amigos.
Remember those group pictures of all the people who went to prison after Watergate? Good times. But sure, maybe you don’t remember. Or maybe the jury will believe you don’t remember. But maybe the prosecutor will point out how eager you were to take the conversation to a place where there’d be no record? How there’s credible testimony you were far more eager to get that “quo” or “deliverable” or whatever we’re going to call it than you first painted yourself? Anyway that’s your problem, pal. Hope your time in the big leagues leave you with lots of happy memories, dipshit.
And Mueller seemed to believe that it was a legitimate thing. He also believed that should not interview suspects because you might be subjecting them to the “perjury trap” , so McGann, Trump and many others were excused.
It may be years before we have a clear understanding of what Rosenstein and FUBarr did to hamstring Mueller and team.
Saying “I don’t recall X” when I testified that X didn’t happen doesn’t mean that Sondland is disputing anything said by Bill Taylor. What it means is that he got called out in a lie by Taylor, and the best justification he can come up with is “I don’t remember.” Anything stronger will get him nailed for lying to Congress.
Yep. Taylor has the receipts. And the reputation.
The more that I think about the more I am convinced that Mueller was happy to be hamstrung… he did not let a peep out…
We stayed at Hotel Max in Seattle. $$$ and not even a mini-fridge in the room. Most La Quintas and Holiday Inns are better value that this place.
It’s unclear whether Taylor is turning over those contemporaneous notes to Congress.
If I were Schiff, I would not inform the press that documents had or had not been submitted. If for no other reason than maintaining security in the face of Nunes, Meadows, Jordan and other members of the Gaetztapo.
If these are Taylor’s personal hand written or typed (on his own laptop), State may have a diminished authority to prevent them from being turned over.
George Sanders’ brother.
Who wears a suit over a giant penis costume? I’ll be glad when Halloween’s over so he can take it off.
Well,…EXCUSE Me!
Sondland forgets, but remember this when considering staying at his hotels:
Villa Royale Palm Springs, California
The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery New Orleans, Louisiana
Hotel Theodore Seattle, Washington
Hotel Max Seattle, Washington
Hotel Murano Tacoma, Washington
Woodlark Portland, Oregon
Dossier Portland, Oregon
Hotel Lucia Portland, Oregon
Hotel deLuxe Portland, Oregon
Sentinel Portland, Oregon
Hotel Preston Nashville, Tennesee
Staff Lawyer: Do you remember discussing withholding military aid from Ukraine with Ambassador Taylor?
Sondland: Well, that was a while ago. My memory of those times is hazy. I’m 62 years old, you know.
Staff Lawyer: The Deluxe Two Double Bed guestrooms at the Heathman Hotel in Portland are 360 square feet, correct?
Sondland: No, you’re thinking of the Deluxe and Premier rooms. The Deluxe Two Double Bed rooms are 474 square feet.
Staff Lawyer: Thank you.
Getting their stories straight.
Don’t go, and don’t despair. There’s a whole wide world of great places to eat.
Many of them untainted by tRump!
“I don’t recall.”
“I know nothing.”
“I plead the Fifth.”
Pick one.
Maybe this will refresh his memory…
