Trump to Sondland (that Sondland oddly omitted from his 23-page opening statement at the hearing): "I don't want quid pro quo, I want Zelensky to do the right thing, what he campaigned on [investigating and eliminating corruption]."
and
All four of Sondland's attorneys were career-long partisan Democrat loyalists, one of whom cited gave over $130,000 in campaign donations to Democrats over the years. So 1) Sondland is either a Democrat partisan himself, or 2) Sondland was given advice against his own best interests by his Democrat partisan lawyers, to damage Trump. And/or 3) Sondland, a wealthy businessman has been enormous pressure and intimidation of Leftist mob protestors who are threatening and hurting his private businesses and livelihood, and may have testified the way he did because of those concerns.
