Trump tweets that he would "love" for Sondland to testify, but doesn't trust "kangaroo court"

President Trump tweeted that if he allowed EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland to testify today, it would be in front of a "a totally compromised kangaroo court."

This comes after reports that the White House is blocking Sondland from testifying today in the impeachment inquiry.

What's this all about: A source familiar with discussions inside President Trump’s impeachment team says Ambassador Sondland not appearing is “part of an overall strategy connected to what is viewed as irregularities in the House impeachment inquiry.”

I'm sick and tired of the name calling, the childish and boorish behavior, the inability to govern, and the list goes on. Perhaps one day, the adults will return to the repug party?

Bob Keeshan was a wonderful man! I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo and he was my college graduation commencement speaker. It pisses me off Matt "Wet Brain" Gaetz tarnishes his memory in this way. Asshole!

The dictionary should have his photo next to the term 'blockhead'. He is one of the most willfully ignorant people in congress. How does one get so distantly removed from reality?

Just using Captain Kangaroo and Kangaroo Court in proximity doesn't even imply that.

There's far too much jumping to conclusions around here.
