The latest White (Supremacist) House "defense," ladies and gentlemen:
"To be clear, what you described is a quid pro quo" -- Here's Mick Mulvaney casually admitting that Trump held up aid to Ukraine as leverage to get the Ukrainian government to investigate the 2016 election pic.twitter.com/ylz7BKEmKd— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 17, 2019
UPDATE: Mick, Mick, Mick --
A GOP committee source following Mulvaney’s press briefing: “His diatribe has blown up the Sondland interview—Democrats are referring to the transcript mid-interview. WTF”— Alayna Treene (@alaynatreene) October 17, 2019
Senior DOJ official, reacting to Mulvaney: "If the White House was withholding aid in regards to the cooperation of any investigation at the Department of Justice, that is news to us.” @evanperez— Shimon Prokupecz (@ShimonPro) October 17, 2019
More reaction: A source familiar with the reaction inside the president's legal team adds: "I think people are a bit stunned."@Acosta— Shimon Prokupecz (@ShimonPro) October 17, 2019
Anyone stupid enough to work for Trump is too stupid to pull off the con. https://t.co/Fbw0Pgxg9o— The Hoarse Whisperer (@HoarseWisperer) October 17, 2019
We're stunned, too -- at the overwhelming stench of corruption and incompetence.
The corruption is a given.
ReplyDeleteThe incompetence is on a level rarely achieved.
Only the best people can do incompetence this perfectly.
Unknown -- It takes a rare talent.
ReplyDeleteSo basically, Mulvaney admits that Trump did a quid pro quo deal with Turkey and now tells us to “get over it”.
ReplyDeleteIt's the shooting on Fifth Avenue all over again.
