Lol, Dump is asking the same question that none of the schmucks on this forum will answer: why ARE there so many people that we hired turning against me? No honor among (fat) thieves, huh, NT?:pointer::pushups:popcorn-eatinggif:pushups::machinegu:pushups:

Trump is reportedly turning on Pompeo now

Enemies. Enemies everywhere! Keep your head on a swivel, Donny. Are you sure that’s really Ivanka? It could be Adam Schiff in a blond wig and couture.
So now Donald Trump is reportedly miffed at one of his closest allies, the eternally obsequious Mike Pompeo, his longtime (by Trump administration standards) secretary of ingratiation.
NBC News:
The impeachment inquiry has created the first rift between President Donald Trump and the Cabinet member who has been his closest ally, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, according to four current and former senior administration officials.
Trump has fumed for weeks that Pompeo is responsible for hiring State Department officials whose congressional testimony threatens to bring down his presidency, the officials said. The president confronted Pompeo about the officials — and what he believed was a lackluster effort by the secretary of state to block their testimony — during lunch at the White House on Oct. 29, those familiar with the matter said.

Trump particularly blames Pompeo for tapping Ambassador Bill Taylor in June to be the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, the current and former senior administration officials said.
Okay, Trump has basically two choices: Bring in feckless, starfucking toadies who simply want to get within shouting distance of the Sun King, or hire experienced, competent people who are grounded in reality. The Venn diagram of those two groups has essentially no overlap.
So if you hire someone like, say, Bill Taylor, he’s going to do what’s best for the country, not Dear Leader.
That’s not Pompeo’s fault. It’s Trump’s.
But this is typical Trump: Get caught doing something stupid, or enact a ruinous policy that blows up in everyone’s faces, and when the shite hits the wind tunnel, search far and wide for someone to blame. Because nothing is Donald Trump’s fault. Ever.
Mike Pompeo is just the latest to discover this universal maxim.
“[Pompeo] feels like he's getting a bunch of blame from the president and the White House for having hired all these people who are turning against Trump,” an official familiar with the dynamic said of Pompeo, “and that it's the State Department that is going to bring him down, so it's all Pompeo's fault.”
Of course it is.
Enjoy the bus ride, Mike. FYI, aloe is pretty good for treating road rash. Or so I hear.

Mike Pompeo feeling the red-hot heat of Trump's ire. Couldn't be happening to a nicer guy

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who listened in on the infamous July 25 Ukraine call between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, knew precisely that Trump was selling out U.S. national security for his personal political gain and did nothing. The career professionals and seasoned diplomats underneath Pompeo at the State Department, however, have provided the fodder that has almost certainly nourished the seeds of Trump's impeachment, if not necessarily his removal from office.
And although Pompeo turned a blind eye to the offenses he was witnessing firsthand, the fact that his underlings refused to do the same has really ticked off Trump, according to NBC News. Never mind that Trump only has himself to blame for his corrupt actions: He has reportedly been ranting about Pompeo's inability to stem the flow of information from his employees. In particular, Trump has focused on Ambassador Bill Taylor, whom Pompeo personally recruited to take the place of ousted U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch. Of course, Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and his now-indicted co-conspirators Lev and Igor were responsible for pushing out Yovanovitch, a distinguished diplomat with decades of experience. But Trump being Trump, he was expecting Pompeo to hire some toady who knew nothing about diplomacy and would simply fall in line with Trump's shadow foreign policy.
Trump's rage at Pompeo’s uselessness reportedly boiled over during a lunch at the White House on Oct. 29. By then, a string of State Department officials had testified behind closed doors, including special envoy Kurt Volker, Ambassador Yovanovitch, Trump’s Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland, Ambassador Taylor, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian affairs George Kent. Volker resigned before giving testimony, but Kent, Sondland, Taylor, and Yovanovitch all remain at the State Department, which has essentially been under attack from the top down ever since Trump was elected. NBC reports that Taylor was greeted by an audience of State Department well-wishers when he dined at the agency cafeteria after providing testimony. One gets the sense that the agency's career professionals feel like they are finally getting a chance to fight back after the onslaught they've endured for the better part of three years.
Now Pompeo, once dubbed the "Trump whisperer," is on the outs with Trump. And on the other side, he's getting the squeeze from the employees he has refused to stand up for even as Trump has maligned people like Yovanovitch and Taylor. Pompeo was notably absent from pictures of Trump huddling with his national security team during the military mission that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Though Trump and Pompeo have continued their Wednesday lunches throughout the impeachment inquiry, Pompeo appears to have lost considerable clout and is said to feel "under siege."
Couldn't be happening to a nicer guy. Pompeo figured he could just build his resume while enabling Trump to sell out the country and walk away unscathed. Not so fast. Now Trump is shooting daggers at him even as he sinks further and further into Trump's impeachment scandal.

Which part of his testimony threw them under the bus? Heres where he testifies "No quid pro quo, no bribery, no extortion, no pressure"... and says Trump even told him "No quid pro quo"... and testified "He wasnt told there are any preconditions to release aid, or have any meetings"

Hmmmm, why don't you try reading, oh, Ken Starr's report on today's proceedings, Blubber Runt; HE is not a Dem, is he?:pointer::think2:popcorn-eatinggifShush()*:nohead:cockingasnook()

HE didnt say what he said that threw them under the bus, just what he felt about the whole thing.

Sondland testimony actually helped Trump. Should watch it for yourself, instead of getting what the dailykos says happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjE6A459Tdw

Read the above VERY slowly, and VERY carefully, Blubber Runt, and maybe, just MAYBE, Light will Dawn on Boulder Head. And, why don't YOU answer the question: You keep babbling about deflection (ironic, since that is YOUR stock in trade), "over and over again," that being the case, why don't you get a clue and stay out of threads that I start and/or stop addressing me, Blubber Runt?

No, didnt walk away... there was no "Bombshell"... just "hearsay" and "I assume...."

No evidence.... nothing.

From your OWN posted article:

“Who would benefit from an investigation of the Bidens?” Maloney asked after an extended back-and-forth with Sondland on that point.
“I assume President Trump would benefit —” Sondland said.

Nothing to debate. And why I try, you just throw out random insults and deflect to random off topic things (Roger Stone for example)

ROTLFMAO!!!!!! I LOVE it when you unintentionally show how stupid you are: No, it WASN'T hearsay, asshole, you know why? Sondland admitted terrible things about himself, and why would he say such things, if they weren't true? That's called an "Admission Against Interest, if you admit something bad about yourself, it's considered MORE credible, in fact, it's considered AN EXCEPTION TO THE HEARSAY RULE, Look it UP, Blubber Runt. Furthermore, Sondland brought RECEIPTS, I guess you FORGOT about that part, huh? Not sure what, "And why I try," means, but you also look like an idiot in claiming that Roger Stone is "off topic," even YOU aren't THAT stupid. You never answered the questions as to why you keep flapping those sausage lips since you claim I won't "debate fair." Kick rocks, you blubber, boulder headed, no-neck, greasy fingered, stubby legged runt. :pushups:

So, you ain't got SHIT to say about how you were left with egg on your face, you boulder headed, no neck, thick legged, blubbery bellied, psychotic, stalking runt? Not only because you clearly didn't know about ""Admission Against Interest," exception to hearsay, but, even beyond that, how is what Sondland says in his conversation with Twittler hearsay, asshole?:pointer::think2:popcorn-eatinggifShush()*:nohead:

Turner: “Okay. Well, you know, after you testified, Chairman Schiff ran out and gave a press conference and said he gets to impeach the president of the United States because of your testimony, and if you pull up CNN today right now their banner says: Sondland Ties Trump to Withholding Aid. Is that your testimony today, Ambassador Sondland, that you have evidence that Donald Trump tied the investigation to the aid, because I don’t think you’re saying that?”

Sondland: “I’ve said repeatedly, congressman, I was presuming. I also said that President Trump never—“

Turner: “So, no one told you. Not just the president? Giuliani didn’t tell you. Mulvaney didn’t tell you. Nobody. Pompeo didn’t tell you. Nobody else on this planet told you that Donald Trump was tying aid to these investigations? Is that correct?”

Sondland: “I think I already testified to that.”

Turner: “No answer the question: Is it correct? No one on this planet told you that Donald Trump was tying this aid to the investigation? Because if your answer is yes then the chairman’s wrong and the headline on CNN is wrong. No one on this planet told you that President Trump was tying aid to investigations? Yes or no?”

Sondland: “Yes.”

Turner: “So, you really have no testimony that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations?”

Sondland: “Other than my own presumption.”
