Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, has been directed by the State Department not to appear Tuesday for a scheduled interview with House committees leading the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.Sondland, a Trump political appointee, has emerged as a central player in Trump's bid to persuade Ukraine’s new government to commit publicly to investigate corruption and the president’s political opponents.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-administration-orders-ambassador-center-ukraine-scandal-not-appear-congress-n1063636
Interesting. We'll see if he complies.
Trump's correct on this: Unless and until Republicans have the same powers as the Majority in these "hearings," he should not cooperate in any way. There's nothing to cooperate with.
@Cyber Liberty I don't think Nancy is going to let the Republicans anywhere near this impeachment crap.She's opened up her playbook to how she treated the Republicans in the House during the Obamacare proceedings. She completely shut them out during that as well. Told them they weren't needed or wanted.History is repeating itself.
Let's hope the useful idiots like Amash and Romney see this. I am not optimistic.
I'm not either...we have politicians allegedly on our side that are more fearful of what some talking head on the nightly news is gonna say about them than actually doing the right thing for their constituents and the country.
Democrats to subpoena Sondland

His answer should be 'I'll appear before an actual impeachment hearing.'
Exactly. These unofficial "requests to appear" should be ignored. Only the truly stuckonstupid useful idiots are unaware that the rats are merely playing impeachment games here.
Well, today the Democrats issued a subpoena for the Ambassador. Let's see them enforce it.Schitt also announced a refusal of this subpoena would be an Article of Impeachment (obstruction), if such a thing ever came to a vote.
