Gordon Sondland's testimony in particular marked a turning point after the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union testified that Trump explicitly sought a "quid pro quo"
Enslavement,
Whenever these opening words from sondy are quoted, it is the FOLLOWING WORDS
that MUST ACCOMPANY this careless opening.
It is THERE that Sondland says as clear as a Champagne Crystal Glass that:
“You said to the president of the United States, ‘What do you want from Ukraine?’ The president:
‘I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. I want Zelensky to do the right thing,’ ”
Mr. Jordan said.

“You can’t find time to put that in a 23-page opening statement?” he quizzed.
Mr. Sondland told the committee that leaving it out of his statement was not done on purpose.
Mr. Jordan used his time to question the witness to underscore the fact that no quid pro quo actually occurred.

“When did it happen?”
Mr. Jordan asked.
“When did what happen?”
Mr. Sondland responded.
It is the ENDING that is most important here!
Rather than "turning point" it was a U-turn of cosmic proportions.
Cheers,
