https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/23/gordon-sondland-william-taylor-ukraine-testimony-055825What did Gordon Sondland know and when did he know it?
The bombshell testimony of veteran diplomat William Taylor, President Donald Trumps top envoy to Ukraine, has raised a crucial question of whether Trump admitted to Sondland that he was withholding military aid in exchange for an investigation into political rivals. Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the E.U., indicated as much in a phone call between the two in September, Taylor says. Sondland, however, had said previously he didnt understand until later that Trump had in fact sought a quid pro quo for aid.
Yet an associate familiar with Sondlands thinking argues the U.S. ambassador to the E.U. and Taylor are more closely aligned than it appears about what occurred and pushed back against Democrats, who suggested Tuesday that Sondland may need to return to Capitol Hill and clarify his remarks.

Giuliani being the very last.

would be so expensive.
Heck if he comes clean, the boycott might even be lifted on his hotels.

Taylor has documentation.
