Aunt Lindsey’s tweetstorm was all over my TL when I was catching up this evening after crashing out just before dawn, so I had hope.

Then a friend noticed that his TL was poisoned again afterwards, so I felt the need to say this since apparently no one had spelt it out yet.

Leningrad Lindsey is nakedly engaging in witness intimidation. Republicans seem to have hit upon the idea that the way forward is to keep the public focus on the whistleblowers, accusing them of “hearsay” and questioning their motivations for coming forward. The hope being that if they can force one or both to back away from their allegations, if not outright recant such in order to avoid public exposure, then the whole scandal falls apart.

Meanwhile, the reality is that the scandal ceased being about the whistleblowers the moment Donny stepped out on the White House lawn and publicly asked two foreign nations to assist his reelection by “investigating” his opponent.
