US delegation was impressed by Zel and his desire to solidify and grow relationship with US and we were excited by his commitment to anti-corruption

Good point from Vietor: These guys act like they are grand defenders of Ukraine bc they gave them missiles that they aren't allowed to use, and meanwhile they roped their newly elected neophyte president into their bananas political hijinx

With that enthusiasm we returned to WH to brief Trump. We advised him of Ukraine's strategic importance and value of relationship with Zel. we asked him for phone call and an Oval Office visit. Both viewed as vital to cementing relationship, demonstrating commitment in face of Russian aggression

Sondland: In response to our persistent attempts to change Trump's totally crazy views on Ukraine, we were told "to talk with Rudy"

confirms Trump's response was disbelief, Ukraine tried to "take him down" and talk to Rudy.
No one wanted to. Did not believe it was role of Trump's personal lawyer to get involved. But they did.

Sondland: I believe that it should be the men and women at the State Department, not POTUS personal lawyer, conducting foreign policy. But Trump gave us an order. "It was the only constructive path open to us"

catspajamas I was hoping that you would be feeling less pink today! Happy birthday <3 Do your pajamas have cats on them by chance? I wish! They are Christmas jammies, with a moose. My eyes are a little less pink but the super virus continues to plague me. Hopefully a day of sitting on my butt and yelling at the TV will help

I’m here and should make it through a lot of this hearing before I have meetings. This is the one I’m most eager for and it’s not disappointing so far.

Sondland really doesn't like Rudy I think he just sees a very easy fall guy. I bet they are buddy buddy outside of impeachment inquiries.

Rudy emphasized that PRESIDENT wanted public statement from Zel committing Ukraine to investigate corruption, including 2016, DNC-server/Election Interference, and Burisma.

He is throwing Trump and Giuliani under the bus SO MUCH. Wowzers. He's trying to save his own reputation. Though, "I was just following orders" hasn't worked well in the past.

I recall mentioning prerequisite of investigations before any WH call or meeting. But don't recall yelling, screaming, abrupt terminations of meetings. Cites photo on WH lawn concluding meeting.

I emailed Tim Morrison: the call between POTUS and Zel should happen before 7/21, sole purpose is for Zel to give POTUS assurances of new sheriff in town, corruption ending, unbundling moving forward, and any hampered investigations will move forward transparently.

Sondland: I wrote to Morrison right after he took over for Dr Hill "The call between Zelensky and POTUS should happen before 7/21...sole purpose is for Zelensky to give POTuS assurances of new sheriff in town, corruption ending, unbundling moving forward, and any investigations to be allowed to move forward transparently"

And then Daryl takes a picture to send to Roy to cheer him up. Lol forever. Then he goes to Corporate and he sits next to the woman wearing the same suit. Classic. I could quote The Office all day long, y'all just let me know when you'd like me to begin. I already appreciate you greatly because you tend to be my mind twin but this right here seals the deal. (in the least creepy internet way possible) The Office is quite possibly my favorite thing to reference, ever. There is never not a perfect quote from it for any situation. Same goes for gifs.

While US officials meeting with Ukraine, Rudy is meddling with Lutsenko, telling Ukrainians that meeting will not move forward.
