Gordon Sondland

Kurt Volker was the US special envoy to Ukraine until he resigned in the wake of the Ukraine scandal, and who happens to testify behind closed doors on the Hill right now.
Aide or Sondland himself.
How is Rudy not bound and gagged in one of Trump's Lawyer's basement.

Dems have already made it clear that they don't want impeachment to drag either (they'll just add ignoring of subpoenas to the articles of impeachment like watergate) so there isn't any rational play here.My take: they're opening the floodgates of information in a bid to get the House to vote to impeach by the end of this year rather than have them drag this out right up to the 2020 election.
They believe impeachment helps their 2020 chances, but an ongoing shadow of it hurts.
Didn't he have a huge firm in NYC? or was he just a mascot?
The gist is, Rudy is trying to convince the world that his communications with Ukraine weren't just at the behest of the President, for personal gain. He's ATTEMPTING to rope in the whole State Department to demonstrate, "look, see?! It was official US business, simply to investigate Ukraine corruption, not just aid in federal elections."I don't understand Rudy's play. What's the strategy behind all of this? Why would Trump or his lawyers allow Rudy to keep giving interviews?
