It's "crystal clear" if you are not hysterical.
Sondland responds: "Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump's intentions. The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind."

This is always the problem with “government first” kleptocrats. They are constantly coming up with “solutions” — sometimes “final” ones — and then they go off in search of a problem.
In this case, the government-firsters have an impeachment in search of a high crime or misdemeanor.
Originally, for President Trump it was that he got elected. In their eyes, that was the first impeachable offense of his presidency. (Actually, his entire campaign was an impeachable offense to them but they never thought in a million years he would get elected. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!)
The crime of getting elected was soon eclipsed by his second impeachable offense — his inaugural address in which he vowed to keep all the promises he made during his campaign. There is, literally, no greater threat to the kleptocrats than some rogue politician elected by smelly voters who then gets into office and then aims to keep the promises that got him there.
Since then, it has been a waterfall of fantastical hoaxes and fairy tales and flat out lies dressed up as “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Democrats want to impeach Mr. Trump for colluding with Russia — only to discover that it was the Democrats colluding with Russia.
Then they want to impeach him for not taking 2016 election meddling seriously enough. Then they want to impeach him for taking it too seriously.
The latest bamboozling head-scratcher is about Mr. Trump colluding with Ukraine. Once again, though, Democrats are hoist by their own petard to learn it was actually their presidential front-runner, Joseph R. Biden, who was colluding with Ukraine.
This latest accusation is so incomprehensible and so weak that Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff could not present the case forcefully without manufacturing evidence — a perjury so serious that it would have landed any witness before him in jail.
