2. They're suggesting the big announcement might've been about...

5. "I can't imagine how this helps Trump in any way" is the unifying theme of all Trump/GOP defenses of

this Ukraine matter. From the very beginning, they've been causing more damage than they mitigate at just about every step. Womp womp.

6. These people are just telling the facts as they know them. Facts are facts.

Since Gym or Nunescow are asking questions and not testifying, they aren't getting the ass-kissing responses they desire.
