Like Volker, Sondland improbably says he didn’t realIze that Burisma equal Biden. Did they not have the least bit of curiosity about why this particular company was of such interest to @realDonaldTrump? This does not pass the smell test. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It is going to be every harder for courts to deny House subpoenas for Bolton, Mulvaney and Pompeo after Sondland testimony. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Rs will target Sondland’s admission that he was never TOLD that military aid was being held up as leverage for Biden and 2016 probes. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Was there a quid pro quo? “The answer is yes.” You don’t have to know Latin to get that this is a big deal. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

He’s also doing some work on the tree itself. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

That sawing sound you hear is Sondland sawing off the branch on which @RudyGiuliani currently sits. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Which will undoubtedly be his explanation for why his memory has been inconsistent. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JulianCastro: Let’s be clear—if I knew it’d look like that I wouldn’t have suggested it. https://t.co/CLeRBskQfJ — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

One other curious thing about the @GOP Qs. They assign a lot of importance to the fact that @realDonaldTrump approved lethal aid to Ukraine that Obama opposed. But if the aid is so important to Ukraine-it also was a major source of leverage when Trump mysteriously held it up. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ll use those dollars to further the fight against the awful scourge of epilepsy that has cost far too many lives and broken so many hearts. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Thanks to the great @NilsLofgren, @MiggstaC09 and everyone who made the @CureEpilepsy event in Chicago last night such a moving yet inspiring evening. Mourning lost angels and resolving, in their memory, to do more! https://t.co/XGCM0mpZCs — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I was around the WH on the final day of the @BarackObama admin and saw none of this. All I saw was a bunch of good men and women reflecting on the opportunity they shared to serve a president in whom they deeply believed and the country they love. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @tribelaw: “Here, right matters.” — Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. Amen. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

Question: If there were a video of the @POTUS declaring that he shook down the Ukrainians for a political favor, would the Nunes closing statement be any different than it was today? — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

And, as has been established, in making the decision to hold up aid to Ukraine, @realDonaldTrump overrode the unanimous advice of the Pentagon, the State Dept. and his own National Security team. It’s not helpful. It’s damning. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I don’t know why the Rs think it’s exculpatory to assert that the president ha sole authority to set U.S. policy. The whole point here is that he ABUSED that authority by using military aid, voted by Congress, to leverage political favors from Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It was an affirmation of his family’s great determination to get to America, the place they saw as a beacon of hope and freedom. I recalled that moment today when Vindman spoke so movingly of his exchange with his immigrant father. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

I thought about my late father, who fled persecution and tyranny in Eastern Europe as a child and how remarkable it was that one generation later, his son was standing there as a senior adviser to the POTUS. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

When I worked for @BarackObama, one of the most moving moments I had was standing in a line of dignitaries on a presidential trip to Moscow, listening to our national anthem being played. It always moved me to hear the anthem and see our flag raised. But especially that day. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

We will hear more or this. The nativist insinuation that Lt. Col. Vindman, an American who was born in Kiev, is somehow a double agent. Fodder for the right-wing conspiracy racket. — PolitiTweet.org

@Susan_Hennessey Laying the groundwork for that, yes. — PolitiTweet.org

David Axelrod @davidaxelrod

It feels like Castro just slammed into a wall with this line of questioning throwing out alternate explanations for why the @POTUS pulled down the VP’s trip to Zelensky’s inauguration in May. — PolitiTweet.org
