Anything but “clearly.” First, he changed his story.. “refreshed” his memory. He didn’t admit anything, other than what he thought. His opinions might be interesting, but they are just that, opinions, not proofs. Even then, what he actually said he conveyed to his Ukrainian counterpart is that the aid might be (note the conditional) linked to corruption issues. Exactly the same phrase Biden used for his demands: “you won’t get aid unless you tackle corruption.” Except Biden was quite specific, not just corruption in general, but firing a prosecutor who investigated the company his son was a bore member of. The rest of the ambassador’s testimony are simply his conjectures what was meant by “corruption.”
Your explanation isn't factual at 2 levels:
1. He completely clearly admitted the Quid Pro Quo and the fact that he lied before about it changes nothing. You may have heard about this thing called
time that can't be reversed. What you say after overrules what you said before in the physical world we live in
2. The request to fire the procuror in Ukraine was a joined action from Biden, the world bank and the european union and if Biden did something wrong, he should go to jail for it... but if he had the Republicans would have gone after him a long time ago, not that I care
It's going to be fun watching your arguments in the coming days and weeks, because the extend to which you need to twist the facts to maintain your views on things becomes astonishing Slobodan.
Wouldn't it be more reasonable to just give up on supporting Trump?
I know we've grown in a fanboy mentality and we something thing we need to associate ourselves with brands but really, what has Trump done for you that deserves him your unconditional support? I have just bought a Sony a7rIV as an attempt to demonstrate to you that change can happen! Do I need to add an a9II to convince you?
