Most other defenses of Trump were demolished by Sondland’s explosive testimony on Wednesday. In recent days, there have been signs that Sondland was being set up as a fall guy in the Ukraine scandal. Testifying Tuesday, another Republican witness, Tim Morrison, until recently the top Russia expert on the National Security Council, referred to the “Gordon problem,” suggesting he was an oft-ignored nuisance. But Sondland seems to have decided that he would not go easily under the proverbial bus. NY Times
Since the proverbial bus (yes, it is on Wikipedia) has become a symbol of the impeachment I figured I might as well make a new tweet. The hand belongs to Donald Trump.

About James Garfield, whose quote is bus-worthy:
James Garfield is another of those Presidents who is sometimes left out of presidential rankings because of the brevity of his time in office. He was inaugurated in March of 1881, shot by assassin Charles Guiteau (the poster child for "disgruntled office seeker") in July of that year and dead in September, more likely from negligent medical treatment than from Guiteau's bullet. Garfield's presidency was full of so much potential. A long-time congressman and Civil War veteran, he came to the 1880 Republican Presidential Nominating Convention to nominate fellow Ohioan John Sherman. But when the delegates couldn't agree on any of the declared candidates, they chose Garfield. His untimely death left a lot of "what ifs" about how his experience and wisdom might had guided the nation through the "Guilded Age". Reference
