Once I spend more than an hour or so on a story like this, I start wondering what percentile I fall into. I wonder how many people are just wondering if Biden really tried basically the same kinds of blackmail but has not yet been investigated for it. When the link says, “that’s been debunked”, do people click on that, or do they just throw their hands up and think it’s too complicated and everyone is lying anyway? When I think about how many old news stories are still floating around as they have unanswered questions, I tend thing the vast majority don’t bother trying to sort out facts.
The facts don’t get much simpler for this. Regardless of what Trump did, the whistleblower protocol is not being followed. Trump could simply release the transcript to a few people who have high security clearance, but instead, he’s controlling the media narrative, knowing that honest people will have to say that they don’t know exactly what was said.
