Breaking now.....I will update as more comes out

Set to testify in less than an hour and WH blocks it.

Gordon Sondland has been told by State Department to refuse testifying, per his attorney.

Schiff will now hold a 9:30am press conference

Schiff now drafting a subpoena for Sondland to force him to testify later today

Sondland's attorney:
Gordon Sondland is upset that he does not get to testify today, but as a member of the State Department, he must follow orders from Pompeo

Melt incoming.

It’s as if people didn’t believe when the White House said that they wouldn’t comply with shite until Pelosi called a vote for a formal impeachment inquiry.

They definitely don't want him to testify given the nature of his texts that were published

Sounds to me like we need a full House vote to make this whole thingy official and all.

Of course. There was no subpoena.

The issue is that Pompeo apparently said they would be made available.

Too bad. That was before Trump sent his letter.

You mean the ones that said no quid pro quo? Yeah, those were damning.

Voluntary. Schiff is attempting to draft a subpoena currently to compel him.

If I was him I’d take Schiffs subpoena right to court and tell him to kick rocks.

The House needs to vote on impeachment or STFU.

Draft whatever he wants. Until a formal vote is taken he can go fly a kite.
