Did we witness Gordon Sondland playing a role, using himself as bait/chum to lure the left and MSM to bite, only to shut it down once they've shown their cards? Sondland's opening statement in his 20 November, 2019 testimony seemed to incriminate President Trump. The MSM of the entire world took the story and ran with it. Adam Schiff began chest thumping.  After the break, when Schiff tried to drive down "Narrative Lane", Sondland shut him down and gave him nothing. Sondland left lots of openings for Jim Jordan, Mark Turner, IMO too many for a man of his intellect. I believe Sondland set a trap for Schiff and CNN and they didn't just bite, they swallowed the hook. Why would Sondland volunteer to be exposed as a fool on national television? Simple- he owns hotels that largely cater to leftist demographics. Working for Trump's administration has put off some of his clientele. By feigning some role in the "resistance", he can maintain some degree of credibility among his customer base. Thoughts?
