Senate Republicans: WTF?!?

Several Senate Republicans I've spoken with in the last hour are stunned that the WH is releasing this transcript. They do not think it helps the president's cause. And they expect today's Senate GOP lunch to be quite the get-together.

Daily Koz is reporting that the White House sent out a list of their "Talking Points" on the matter to all the Repubs in the House and Senate.............

The aide accidentally? sent the list to all the Dem's instead.........

how their minds work and how totally wrong they are seeing everything that is so blatantly clear to the rest of us.

This explains a lot. Their minds are wired differently than the rest of us. Totally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to be immediately provided to congress. That's the most important document right now.

I don't understand this noise over the transcript. Are they just outraged at his stupidity at so easily providing evidence? ADDENDUM: Just read that Trump, the masterful dealer, thought he'd handled Pelosi and sent the transcript over, against advice of aides, as a gesture of fake bad faith to placate her/Dems.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall of that lunch, all right, but for how long? Republicans hot-airing the lies that have become their reality always gets old very fast.

But, Christ, the transcript/memorandum is pretty clear -- "I have a favor . . . . . "
