I am fine with that- I recognize its an unconventional - at best - way of looking at things. And, I am just trying to step back from the fray, and see if anything makes sense. When chum is thrown in the water, its easy to get caught up in the feeding frenzy.
I started thinking about Lev and Igor - and how they were probably taking advantage of Rudy and Trump, and I started to ask why, or how. I think both Rudy and Trump are susceptible to conspiracy theories - so my theory is that these two guys were feeding into that - giving Rudy and Trump hope that the stories were true. Such that when Trump asked for help from Ukraine, he was convinced there was ample evidence, and that asking for evidence of corruption was not illegal.
I am still very much in favor of getting him out of office sooner rather than later - as he is decidedly unfit for office, even under the best of circumstances. I was just questioning whether we are forcing some facts to fit the narrative we want.
