Ken Starr Argues Sondland Testimony ‘Doesn’t Look Good’ For Trump’: ‘There Will Be Articles of Impeachment’
RUSH EXCERPT:
STARR: “Yes, because we’ve gotten closer to the president but just for the reasons you identified, the president may have covered himself by saying no quid pro quo, the record is muddled. So we have Gordon Sondland’s understanding. It doesn’t look good for the president substantively but I want to make a different point. The chairman began with essentially pulling out the Richard Nixon articles of impeachment figuratively speaking and he pointed to the third article, contempt. Contempt in the sense of you have stood in the way of this investigation. I was then — I thought that was very intriguing. Point two, then Ambassador Sondland spoke vehemently and bitterly about his lack of access to records to help him. Then thirdly, the very first questions from Mr. Goldman went exactly to obstruction. You have not had the ability to refresh your recollection, you are not a note taker and so forth. So we already have one article of impeachment and the third article of impeachment in the Richard Nixon situation is very clear, it’s very succinct and very well done.”
