Peggy Noonan must be joking: It was Sondland's third try at truthful sworn testimony and it was completely believable
Gee, just forget then that he perjured himself on the first two attempts?
But NOW you believe him?
What a joke Peggy is. She fits right in.
Here:
It was kind of the ballgame.

Two months before Trump was elected the Financial Times reported Ukraine's wider political leadership was working to elect Hillary
This is five months before the Politico story in January 2017 which Ukraine NATO boosters like Fiona Hill pretend doesn't exist.

Politico 1/11/17: Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire: Kiev scrambling to make amends after working to boost Hillary
Democrats colluded with Ukraine to get Paul Manafort and damage Trump and have tried to deflect this ever since by charging Trump colluded with Russia, which is exactly what you would expect to hear from people colluding with Ukraine.
You'll hear more deflection today from British-born Fiona Hill.

NYT Nov 5, 2019: Sondland text message in early September to Taylor said president was clear there was no quid pro quo
A crucial witness in the impeachment inquiry reversed himself this week ...
That admission, included in a four-page sworn statement released on Tuesday, directly contradicted his testimony to investigators last month, when he said he “never” thought there was any precondition on the aid. ...
Mr. Sondland had said in a text message exchange in early September with William B. Taylor Jr., the top American diplomat in Ukraine, that the president had been clear there was no quid pro quo between the aid and investigations of the Bidens. But Mr. Sondland testified last month that he was only repeating what Mr. Trump had told him, leaving open the question of whether he believed the president. ...
“I presumed that the aid suspension had become linked to the proposed anticorruption statement,” Mr. Sondland said.
In his closed-door interview last month, Mr. Sondland portrayed himself as a well-meaning and at times unwitting player who was trying to conduct American foreign policy with Ukraine with the full backing of the State Department while Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s lawyer, repeatedly inserted himself at the behest of the president. He also said repeatedly that he could not remember things, including details about the Sept. 1 meeting, according to the 375-page transcript of his testimony.
“And you had never thought there was a precondition to the aid?” one of the Republican investigators asked Mr. Sondland. “Is that correct?”
“Never,” Mr. Sondland said, adding that he “was dismayed when it was held up, but I didn’t know why.”
