Basic facts:
Career criminal Trump, using career criminal tactics, shook down a foreign head of state with US taxpayers' money.
He withheld millions in military aid to Ukraine, saying he would free up the money if the head of the Ukraine government would dig up dirt on Joe Biden, a potential 2020 political rival.
A whistle blower said that was the basic story.
Donald Trump said that was the basic story.
Trump's pal, Rudy Guiliani said that was the basic story.
Minor background:
Who the whistleblower is changes nothing; Trump corroborated it.
How the whistleblower learned of the criminal conversation changes nothing; Trump corroborated it.
If the whistleblower had first, second, third, or Kevin Bacon knowledge changes nothing; Trump corroborated it.
Rudy's palaver changes nothing; Trump corroborated it.
Incel Steve's "saboteur" allegation on Fox changes nothing; Trump corroborated it.
Et
Cetera.
Stick to the fucking facts and ditch the bullshit. This is a very, very simple story withOUT two sides. It just has a very few basic facts.
Got it?
