Well, there it is: confirmation that Trump knew he'd been caught

which is why he then unfroze the aid and told Sondland there was no quid pro quo.




Breaking via NYT: Trump had already been briefed on the whistleblower complaint about his dealings with Ukraine when he unfroze military aid for the country in September, according to two people familiar with the matter.

He continues to remind us of how despicable and evil he is. There is no bottom to his behavior. He's in a free fall to hell. (That's a metaphor, people.)

... and yet his base sees him as the "Chosen One." They're all sick.

Anything more than that is beyond his small brain. IMHO.

I'm sure Trump doesn't even know Trump. Trump was definitely acting on his own, and Trump knew nothing about it.

Just anticipating the next GOP talking points.
