An open letter to Gordon Sondland

Mr. Sondland, we are told that you are going to testify that Trump himself instructed you to issue that "no quid pro quo" tweet. Glad to hear it. But frankly, we all kinda figured that part out already.

What concerns me more is the earlier part of your communications with Bill Taylor. At your request, he had spoken to you on the phone. But to your apparent surprise and chagrin, he used a text message to memorialize the gist of what you had said during a voice conversation.

[9/9/19, 12:47:11 AM] Bill Taylor: As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign.

You've got to explain what was said during the preceding conversation. You've got to explain why Taylor thus summarized what you said.

Remember, Congress can speak to Taylor as well. They may already have done so. For all you know, Taylor may have recorded the voice chat he had with you. If you lie to Congress, Mr. Sondland, the lie might well be proven.

Your explanation for Taylor's summary must also explain this earlier exchange of texts:

[7/21/19, 1:45:54 AM] Bill Taylor: Gordon, one thing Kurt and I talked about yesterday was Sasha Danyliuk’s point that President Zelenskyy is sensitive about Ukraine being taken seriously, not merely as an instrument in Washington domestic, reelection politics.

[7/21/19, 4:45:44 AM] Gordon Sondland: Absolutely, but we need to get the conversation started and the relationship built, irrespective of the pretext. I am worried about the alternative.

"Pretext"? That's a loaded word. It strongly suggests that you cared more about "Washington domestic, reelection politics" than you cared about Ukraine.

We'd also like an explanation as to why the ambassador to the EU would involved himself in such matters, since Ukraine is not part of the EU.

Mr. Sondland, I have to ask: Do you really need this crap? You have, through your own efforts, attained a commanding position in life. I've looked at the bits and pieces of your bio that have popped up on the internet. You're not fire-breathing, far-right maniac. You worked well with Oregon governor Ted Kulongoski, a Democrat. You broke with Trump when he needlessly insulted a Gold Star family. And I certainly applaud your generosity toward the Portland Art Museum. You are a valued member of your community.

So why would you show undue loyalty to a man like Donald Trump? The man's a megalomaniac and a liar who talks and acts like a hood. That characterization has nothing to do with partisan politics: I used the same terminology to describe Trump when he was a Clinton-supporting Democrat. He lost his father's fortune through impulsive, reckless behavior and kept his head above water by making shady deals with Russian mobsters and oligarchs. He's not like you.

Did you give him some sort of promise, some sort of loyalty oath? Break it. In some situations, there's more honor in breaking your word than in keeping it. As Ernest Borgnine says in The Wild Bunch: "It's not your word that counts; it's who you give it to."

Trump is a spoiled brat. His definition of "loyalty" is DIE FOR ME. He doesn't give a damn about anyone else. Look at what happened to the Kurds.

You may be worried that in going against Trump, you'll be helping to elect Warren (presuming she secures the Democratic frontrunner position, as she may well not). But let's face it: Congress won't let her raise taxes the way she threatens to do. Everyone knows that she is making promises she can't keep -- or rather, outlining plans she can't implement -- in order to win the primaries. Besides, I honestly believe that Pence would do better than Trump against her or against any other Democrat.

I'm a Democrat, but I'd rather see Pence elected in 2020 than suffer through another year of Trump's madness. I mean, look at this. That sort of vicious, dangerous invitation to madness and violence did not characterize American politics before the Trump era. That kind of obscenity used to relegated to the fringes of both the right and the left; Trump brought it to the presidential level. He may deny paternity, but he's that spiritual father of that video.

Finally: There's a good chance that a Congressman named Matt Gaetz is going to show up for your questioning, even though he shouldn't be in the room. As you probably know, he's a Trump spy. Don't let him intimidate you.
