So...WHAT have we learned tonight? It's simple...DICTATORS be DICTATIN'...quid pro HO HO HO.

This paragraph is BLOWING UP all over Twitter...I've seen at least a dozen tweets quoting it since the WaPo story broke.

Sondland plans to tell lawmakers he has no knowledge of whether the president was telling him the truth at that moment. “It’s only true that the president said it, not that it was the truth,” said the person familiar with Sondland’s planned testimony, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic matters.

and has no plan of going to prison for Don the Con. I'm betting his wife is a no nonsense woman.

Let's be clear - the COn used the no quid pro quo the same way he used no collusion. He had never heard either phrase before some lawyer repeated it a few times.

Don the Con is a fucking monster and a shameless one to boot.

Have we moved to that phase yet? Professional staff asking all the questions?

That pretty much sums up everything Trump says.
