Good evening, the man who gave him million dollars to present Trump's inaugural and was

then awarded by being named ambassador to the European Union, his just-bone, a large

hole in present Donald J. Trump's cover story.

Gordon Sondland's impeachment testimony was released today, but it turns out he'd revised

his previous testimony.

Apparently, his faulty memory was suddenly restored after details of other witness testimony

may clear that Sondland's original story didn't quite add up.

Sondland now says yes there was a quid pro quo, and he was the guy who was trying to

deliver it for the president.

A scheme he testified got more insidious, his word, over time involving activities he

said would be improper and though he said he's not a lawyer, assume could be illegal.

Sondland now admits that he knew the bottom line.

His testimony indicates his Ukrainian counterparts knew it as well, and knew the demands were coming

from President Trump.

In short, no U.S. military aid until Ukraine publicly did the president to political favors.

And if that were the sum total of what Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, told

House Investigators that would be plenty, but it wasn't.

His testimony, that if Kurt Volker, the president's former special Ukraine envoy, also lays out

some of the mechanics of this thinly veiled, shakedown, masquerading his foreign policy.

It puts one man in the middle of it all, Rudy Giuliani, the president's private attorney,

not elected to anything, not confirmed by anyone, acting on no one's behalf, but the president

isn't possibly his own given his interest in doing bigger business in Ukraine.
