        That says they were in a restaurant at the time making it unlikely Sondland was using speaker phone, so whatever the aides overheard from Trump's end could only have been bits and pieces. But suppose they could hear Trump clearly. What were Trump's actual words? Or is this another case of mind reading where someone presumed Trump's intent?

        I think the most interesting bit from that story is that Sondland having a sensitive conversation with the President on his cellphone while in a public restaurant in the Ukraine was a serious breech of security protocol.

          Don't know if he was on a speaker phone or not, perhaps he has a hearing problem himself. All I know is that two witnesses, one who has already stated what he heard, and now another who has yet to testify, both claim to have overheard the call. I believe that what the second one heard is yet to be known.

          • I just hope that the next round doesn't have more of the absolutely devastatingly jaw-dropping bombshells we saw today!
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  And obviously, Cp, if you watched the hearings, you wouldn't recognize a jaw-dropping bombshell, with respect to Trumps defense, if it blew up in your face. There are none so blind........ No offense!

                  • Er, what? Two guys overhear some part of a call that Sondland made no apparent mention of (yeah, like this wouldn't have leaked) and Trump says he doesn't even remember? And the only word supposedly quoted is 'investigations'?

                    So now Sondland, who's been caught already in one lie has to back up Taylor's hearsay?

                    Are the Days of Our Lives guys writing this?

                        We'll leave that out - might cause indigestion.

                              I see you're talking to your mirror image again, eh, Lilpix. This is really interesting watching how you otherwise fairly intelligent people can make yourselves deaf, dumb, and blind in order to protect your beliefs from the incoming facts. Profiles in courage you are not!
