Trump has now joined Republicans in calling for the Bidens to testify at his Senate trial.

This is another reminder of the degree to which this scandal has always been about *disinformation* -- about getting it injected into the mainstream conversation:

Replying to @realDonaldTrump
....Ukrainian energy company, and more millions taken from China, and now reports of other companies and countries also giving him big money, are certainly looking very corrupt (to put it mildly!) to me. Both Bidens should be forced to testify in this No Due Process Scam!

1. I believe that is what the entire senate hearings are going to do

repubs will be in charge

2. This episode alone should have Chuck the Toad at least suspended from MTP.

I will NOT be watching him again. And, I note, Katy Tur, who frequently subs for the Toad, has started emulating his tone, tenor and tactics. Shame on her.

Good piece from Greg Sargent and WAPO once again.
