If the Republicans are going to press the argument that people have a duty to report their knowledge of crimes to the proper authorities, maybe they could find literally anyone other than Jim Jordan to make that case?

Look, a criminal investigation into corrupt business deals in the Ukraine involving a former U.S. politician. Someone tell Trump, he'll be very happy to hear about this. twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/st…

Nunes’ opening statement reflects that we are in full-on infrastructure week with Sondland’s opening statement.

He’s just babbling almost incoherently right now.

Nunes does not seem to have read Sondland's opening statement yet.

Someone apparently advised Gordon Sondland that it would be smart to NOT be the guy who paid Trump $1 million just to go to prison for him.

It’s unfair to the poor guy, but when I look at Sondland, I can only see the high talker from the Seinfeld episode…

I’ve not seen Sondland before. He has a super-smackable face!

He’s giving that opening statement now. Let’s see if it is as dynamite as the written version obtained by news orgs is.

Yep, under the bus they go…

SONDLAND: "Secretary Perry, Ambassador Volker and I worked with Mr. Rudy Giuliani on Ukraine matters at the express direction of the President of the United States. We did not want to work with Mr. Giuliani."
