Guess who said this in Nov: "Sondland's bombshell testimony is evidence of impeachable offense"

Ken Starr: Sondland’s “Bombshell” Testimony Is Evidence of an Impeachable Offense

The impeachment hearings have not gone well for President Donald Trump, but have they actually changed people’s minds? Wednesday morning’s testimony from Gordon Sondland convinced one noteworthy observer that there’s evidence Trump is guilty of contempt of Congress: Ken Starr, whose famous report led to the last impeachment of a president.

Before Sondland’s testimony, Starr called the hearings “extravagant” and “political” and said they “do not reveal a crime.” But after Sondland’s testimony, Starr said that for the first time, proof of contempt came straight from a witness.

“It doesn’t look good for the president, substantively,” said Starr in an interview on Fox News.

"Not only will you recant that tomorrow, you will defend Trump in the Senate trial".

I keep saying, find out who is behind all these characters - Barr, Graham, etc... - and now Starr, and you will find out why he hasn't been removed yet. Someone is calling the shots, and these dopes "jump" to Trump's defense when they do. And it aint Putin..

It is there most often used Motus Operandi aka MO! To keep the players in line.
Lindsey Graham and Alan Dershowitz might just be examples of this category.
