Trump's Ukraine Call 'Transcript' Proves This Is 'Stupid Watergate'
The Trumpists release a non-transcript that is nonetheless incriminating—for the president, for his attorney general, and for Rudy Giuliani.

Jesus H. Christ on work-release, this is what they thought they could put out there? What's next? Digging up John Stennis and having him "review" the actual transcript?
(Just so we're on the same greasy page, something that is "not a verbatim transcript" is not a transcript. Thank you.)
...
John Oliver coined the term "Stupid Watergate," and it was a fine and funny trope until Wednesday morning. This is Stupid Watergate in excelsis.
...
And, because we're going to be hearing a lot of "no quid pro quo" from the Trump peanut gallery in the next few months, it's important to remember that the famous "Smoking Gun" tape was not included in the transcripts that Nixon released, and that what he did release made people more ready to believe him capable of anything....
And under the bus goes Rudy Giuliani and the Attorney General of the United States. They are shocked to find the president* already had climbed under there himself.
