The White House is in full retreat after video evidence dismantled the original claims surrounding the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

After top officials rushed to label Pretti a “domestic terrorist,” the administration is now walking it back. DHS officials are anonymously telling CBS News that leadership is gaslighting the public. Conservative media outlets like the Wall Street Journal and New York Post have turned on Trump. Republican senators are demanding a transparent investigation. And catastrophic evidence handling may have destroyed any future prosecution.

I only post a formatted transcript when the subject looks interesting.

Sometimes, I lose badly.

This looks informational and as I say about transcripts, you can skim, summarize, search, copy and paste, and so on.

The fun part is when pastebin refuses to post some text based on its filter.
I use alternate sites in that case.
