I have heard it said that when one person murders another it does something to their brain which is why so many obvious/simple mistakes are made that lead to their conviction. Ive been thinking about that all day because I cant understand why that transcript was put out. Could he not see how damning it was?
I know everyone around him has been trained to let him do whatever he wants which is probably why no one seriously warned him. But why couldnt he see that his fingerprints were all over the transcript and that gun he had in his hand, pointed at the Ukrainian President, was about to backfire?

Traitor Trump is the epitome of capitalism and he doesn't understand he can be punished too.

(52,212 posts)they've committed obstruction of justice so many times.
they've embezzled or some other variant of funneling public money into their pockets so many times, so many ways.
they've doctored documents and lied so many times.
and what they were doing with ukraine/biden was basically the same thing they did with russia/hillary and got away with it then.
why should they think they wouldn't be able to get away with this? it was basically all out in the open with hillary, he publicly asked russia to hack her emails so he could smear her.
why wouldn't he think "democrats will cry foul like they always do, republicans will back me and the media will cover it and then move on to my next tweet it will all blow over"?

(52,212 posts)he's just plain gotten away with so much and congress has barely investigated and he and his minions are openly contemptuous and defiant and congress can't seem to do anything about it.
so why not give them a "transcript" and say, "yeah, well, what are ya gonna do about it? nothing, like always!"
beyond that, they don't really think what they did was a crime. i mean, they know they've done other things that are crimes, but asking people to help smear an "enemy", making a deal for that, that's so straight up the middle business as usual for these guys they don't think it's a crime, certainly not something congress would do anything about when they seem to have gotten away with everything laid out in the mueller report.

(90,336 posts)... looking at Tucker Carlson and of course he defended someone saying something racist but half that time was spent talking about whether it was legal or not to talk to someone from another nation leaving out the soliciting an investigation into a political oppoenent.
