A key point to remember in light of this morning’s claim by Sondland of a “quid pro quo”. Did Sondland lie?
Rep. Jim Jordan set the record straight:
Before sending that text, Ambassador Sondland had a phone call with the President. Sondland asked President Trump “what do you want from Ukraine?”
The President said, “I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelensky to do the right thing… to do what he ran on.”

Rep. Jim Jordan: There was no quid pro quo…there was no pressure
Despite what @RepAdamSchiff says about #impeachment, the fundamental facts have never changed:
• There was no quid pro quo
• There was no pressure
• The President did nothing wrong@HouseDemocrats need to move on. pic.twitter.com/q7g7z2YAKm— Oversight Committee Republicans (@GOPoversight) November 4, 2019
Volker echoed the same “no quid pro quo” statement.
We asked Amb. Volker, Special Envoy to Ukraine, “Did @POTUS ever withhold a meeting with President Zelensky… until the Ukrainians committed to investigate the allegations… concerning the 2016 election?”
Volker: “The answer to the question is no… there was no linkage.” pic.twitter.com/3i9prqdHwu
