Devin Nunes claimed Democrats would smear Sondland. He was smeared by the Republican counsel instead.

Devin Nunes claimed Democrats would smear Sondland. He was smeared by the Republican counsel instead.The U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, is a key witness in the ongoing House impeachment hearings, and before he testified Wednesday, both Democrats and Republicans were well aware he could make or break their cases. Ranking House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) nevertheless appeared confident in his opening remarks, noting that he anticipated Sondland would have his reputation “smeared” by the Democrats over the course of the next several hours.The GOP’s tone swiftly changed when Sondland was given his turn to speak. The ambassador confirmed a quid pro quo between the Trump administration and Ukraine, and said he was following orders from the president to pressure Kyiv into opening an investigation into the Bidens. Clinton impeachment prosecutor Ken Starr went as far as to call Wednesday a “bombshell day” due to Sondland’s dramatic flip.Republicans, naturally, didn’t feel so peachy about Sondland by the time it was their turn to speak. Steve Castor, the Republican attorney, went as far as to — yep — smear Sondland’s credibility. “You don’t have records, you don’t have notes because you don’t take notes, you don’t have recollections,” he bashed. “This is a trifecta of unreliability.”It didn’t matter that the smear was coming from his own party; Sondland wasn’t having any of it. Watch below. > Republican Counsel Castor: “You don’t have records. You don’t have your notes because you didn’t take notes. You don’t have a lot of recollections. This is like the trifecta of unreliability.

Trump reads comically large notes declaring ‘I want no quid pro quo’ amid Sondland testimony

Trump reads comically large notes declaring 'I want no quid pro quo' amid Sondland testimonyAmid the bombshell impeachment hearing Wednesday, President Trump is declaring victory — and reading from some comically large notes.Trump spoke to reporters as U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland confirmed in his public testimony before Congress a quid pro quo with Ukraine that was pushed by Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who was “expressing the desires of the president of the United States.”But Trump was quick to rush out to explain to reporters how the hearing is actually going great for him, pointing to Sondland having testified that he spoke with the president in September and that Trump told him, “I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo.” Insisting this was the true takeaway from the hearing, Trump on Wednesday read from his notes quoting Sondland quoting him.> Have to say this is a weird Christmas list. pic.twitter.com/QPGt3QxerM> > — Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) November 20, 2019″That means it’s all over,” Trump claimed after shouting this exchange recounted by Sondland very loudly, adding he immediately “turned off the television” after hearing it, having evidently tuned out nearly every other damaging moment of the hours-long hearing.Trump did, however, have one objection to Sondland’s characterization of this call he claims clears him: that Sondland testified Trump wasn’t in a good mood during it. “I’m always in a good mood,” Trump claimed. “I don’t know what that is.” > President Trump reacts to Ambassador Sondland’s ImpeachmentHearings Testimony > > “I don’t know him very well.
