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.
