Pompeo Orders Ambassador To EU Not To Testify

The New York Times reports:

The Trump administration directed a top American diplomat involved in its pressure campaign on Ukraine not to appear Tuesday morning for a scheduled deposition with House Democrats conducting an impeachment inquiry, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The decision to block Gordon D. Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union, from speaking with investigators is certain to provoke an immediate conflict with potentially profound consequences for the White House and President Trump.

House Democrats have repeatedly warned that if the administration tries to interfere with their investigation, it will be construed as obstruction, a charge they see as potentially worthy of impeachment.

That is most definitely not Trump. If Sondland was smart he would refuse to go down with the USS Titanic known as Trump. I just now understand why so many people are so afraid of the little weasel.

If Trump is so innocent in all of this and his calls were "so perfect", why not allow your people to testify??! Sec Clinton did so for hours on end in what amounted to nothing more than a charade in the Benghazi investigations.

But no, these fools obstruct at every possible angle. It's far passed time to hold them accountable.
