...All rings true, and MAKES TOTAL SENSE, and yes, Trump probably did "get caught" doing something he KNEW THE DEMS WOULD SPIN AS SOMETHING IT WASN'T, but it is STILL not a "high crime or misdemeanor," and he can still rightly claim he was trying to make sure the money wouldn't go to corrupt hands.
That particular language to Sondland from Trump (which the Republicans have not disputed) only makes sense if Trump knew Sondland "had the goods" and was testily firing back AFTER Trump knew he'd been "caught."
BUT AGAIN...you have to have done something impeachable in the first place, and IF DJT goes on the full offensive (finally) against the Clintons, Bidens, and all the serial murder, and pedophilia, and corruption those people are involved in, he might survive this anyway.
...if that's what the script calls for.

I still think BOTH SIDES ARE AS CORRUPT AS CAN BE, but perhaps Trump's side is slightly less so, and maybe he never committed child rape like most of the big-name Dems involved in this circus...
