WSJ: Sondland told the House that Trump's Ukraine pressure was a quid pro quo
By Rachel Frazin - 10/26/19 09:12 PM EDT

A lawyer for U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland told The Wall Street Journal that Sondland told impeachment committee members that President Trump's dealings with Ukraine amounted to a quid pro quo.

Sondland's lawyer Robert Luskin told the news outlet that Sondland revealed to House committees that he thought a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would take place only if the country agreed to investigate corruption allegations about his political rivals.

Last month, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump's dealings with Ukraine following a whistleblower complaint about a July 25 call with Zelensky.

When a lawmaker asked Sondland if he believed this arrangement was a quid pro quo, Sondland said he believed so but warned that he was not a lawyer, Luskin told the newspaper.

These idiots believe what they've been told and what they want to believe.   They keep forgetting that the transcript, showing no quid pro quo, was released.   This is a propaganda war.  The idiot left is counting on enough uninformed masses to keep the BS facade going  until election day.

The transcript clearly does show a quid pro quo.  Zelensky asks for weapons and Trump says "I need a favor though."  CoS Mulvany already admitted a QPQ.

Nope.   No matter how much you wish it were so, it just ain't.

Sondland: Oh THAT quid pro quo!
