He has?

Are you sure? A meeting at the White House is quid pro quo? What happened to the javelins? Wait, it's quid pro quo again?

What the AF is your claim?
Quid pro quo? We were told this is Bribery?

You say this every day and you are always.....wait for it......wrong again. Poor little dummy

“Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker, and I worked with Mr. Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine matters at the express direction of the president of the United States,” Sondland said. “We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani. Simply put, we played the hand we were dealt. We all understood that if we refused to work with Mr. Giuliani, we would lose an important opportunity to cement relations between the United States and Ukraine. So we followed the president’s orders.”

I am not exactly sure where that gets you. POTUS sets policy and he determines who is used to implement his policy.
You mean the literal definition of the office of the Presidency? Aw mah gad! They got him now!! Hahahaha

POTUS doesn't set policy that violates the law.

F'ucking moron. It is incredible how f'ucking stupid you are.
No policy violated any law moron. Your anger doesnt make it true. There is a reason why everyone on this forum thinks it is you who are the idiot.

POTUS does not have absolute authority on implementing policy or dictating policy. Are you suggesting Obama could have sold Florida to ISIS? Sold nukes to Iran? You simpletons are great. Congress passed the bills that control the purse strings. The President signed that bill. The President's executive branch approved the thresholds required for funds to be released. The President can't THEN pressure a foreign government to investigate an American citizen for POTUS's own political gain. Is that what you guys are arguing? L M A O

Wait til one of them librul socialists gets to be President. They get to full autonomy to set policy, you guys!! :joy::joy::joy::joy:

When you dont have facts, just make them up. The money was delivered and there was nothing given in exchange by Ukraine for the money. Other than that...quality post TDSCoop.

This guy is being treated like a hostile witness by both sides. He's an idiot that shouldn't be taken serious by either side. He's going to get destroyed if this makes it to the Senate. Perjury charges coming his way.

Ukraine corruption involving $7.4 bln
4 min read
KYIV. Nov 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukrainian members of parliament have demanded the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump, investigate suspicions of the legalization of $7.4 billion by the "family" of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych through the American investment fund Franklin Templeton Investments, which they said has ties to the U.S. Democratic Party.

I mean if you need to take it to an extreme hyperbolic reactionary place to try and validate your position, I think it’s pretty easy to see how valid of an argument you have.

The funds can be delayed until the end of the FY. They can be delayed beyond the FY deadline and they can also be outright cancelled providing the President of designated member of the OMB briefs Congress on why. Nor does he or his designated representatives to seek their approval for doing so, just a basis of rationale for why. in this case, since the funds were distributed during the FY, nothing needs explained. All of this is irrelevant though, because the Ukrainians were unaware of the delay.

Funny you mention Iran. Obama changed foreign policy on Iran and completely circumvented Congress. Really no different here.
