it's impeachment all over again: they will shout 'read the transcript' 'listen to the whole call', won't do it themselves, and just act like their cult leader isn't a massive crook, even though the evidence is overwhelming (to anyone with at least half a brain)...


Personally, I think Ukraine was substantially worse than this but that's not particularly relevant at the moment. The GOP playbook is to find a fact or two that's in their favor, ignore the big picture, and then hammer that small set of facts to create a false narrative that is at odds with the big picture. Because Americans are largely incapable of seeing the big picture, this strategy works REALLY well. It worked with impeachment, the Mueller report, etc.

Thing is there's almost certainly a few dozen similar phone calls that went unreleased.


I fully expect a lot of "leaks" after Trump is officially dragged out of the White House. There's going to be a surge of people trying to prove they weren't Nazis by ratting on their fellow Nazis.

Project veritas records for months at a time.

They would probably give you the full video if you request it.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Veritas

"Project Veritas is an American far-right[17] activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010.[22] The group uses undercover techniques to reveal supposed liberal bias and corruption[18] and is known for producing deceptively edited videos about media organizations, left-leaning groups,[30] and debunked conspiracy theories.[34]"

Sure buddy. Tell us all how it really is. :rofl:

As things stand, virtually any GOP politician who will have to win further primaries in the future and publicly turns on Trump will commit career suicide. You will see some of it from two types of Republicans: those with a strong brand and power base, like Mitt Romney or Charlie Baker, and those who are career bureaucrat rather than elected officials - but it's not gonna happen in the quantity you are hoping for.

You can look at the references.

They only released videos in the past in exchange for immunity from prosecution. You are genuinely brain damaged if you think they are reliable.

Was this something VP Biden did as a rogue foreign agent, or was there more to it?. What was the stance of the US government and EU in this matter?
