On NPR this morning:
Said the call with Ukraine was routine.
So why did the verbatim transcript get moved to a highly classified server?
Said it was hearsay. Everything has been corroborated by first hand sources
Said the identity of the Whistleblower is not known I guess he doesn’t understand the concept of anonymity with regard to Whistleblower protections - something condoned by Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee yesterday
Said the Whistleblower is politically biased. That would be an issue if allegations proved false. They have proved true.
