Most of the witnesses were nothing more than links in the gossip train who testified that they had no personal or direct knowledge but were merely passing on hear-say. And those like Sondland who were the origin of some of these "heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from another" grapevines had to admit that what they said was based on "presumptions," "guesses" and the like.
Worse. Sondland even confirmed that Trump had explicitly and expressly told him that he did not want anything in exchange -- any quid pro quo. He testified that he had directly called Trump in order to find out why the aid was being delayed. "I asked the president, ‘What do you want from Ukraine?’" Sondland declared. "The president responded, ‘Nothing. There is no quid pro.’"
Sondland confirmed that Trump had told him that "I want nothing. I don’t want to give them anything, and I don’t want anything from them."
This is the nature and quality of the "evidence" that you are building this house of cards upon.
