The Ukraine scandal started with a whistleblower report that was an even bigger scandal because Barr tried to obstruct the legal channels and path these reports are required to be dealt with by law. The people at the top of the direct chain disagreed with Barr trying to keep the report from going to house intel and went to congress themselves to tell them they needed to see this report
FOX news represented it as nothing here, this was a perfect phone call just as Trump said. No quid pro quo. Now that people have testified that there was an effort to pressure the Ukraine with military aid that was illegally done not through official channels by people who are not part of the state department, it's a different song and dance. It's okay, if there was this is done all the time, nothing wrong with this...besides, the Ukraine got their money and they never provided the information trump was looking for.
As the "story" as represented by trump and the right wing unfolded, the evolution of an ever changing narrative are lies, one leading to another...this is a trump trade mark by the way.
I don't know why the right is so complacent with lie after lie, how they can support each tier of the next lie with a straight face. But then when they are being so blatantly lied to over and over they also buy into the biggest lie, that the left who is dealing with the straight off documents and facts are the liars, their side is representing the t***h?
So please forgive me for calling it the way it is, but this makes you as a group look like the most gullible and easily fooled people on earth. It's embarrassing that we can't be talking about the same fact based narrative, we have to deal with arguments about alternative facts that are in la la land.
Is it that hard to see a progression of lies? Each time a lie is caught the story changes up into something else that then proves to be another lie. People have to be s**k of being lied to, but pull your head out and look at who is doing it. Some of these sequences of lies done right before our eyes are truly moronic, take Stormy Daniels being paid off...
...first it never happened
...then there was no payoff, that was a lie
...then okay there was a payoff but I knew nothing about it
...then Cohen did this on his own without trump knowing anything about it
...then there is a signed check from trump to cohen
...then campaign funds were not illegally used
...then they were billed as legal expenses for tax purposes (need to see tax returns there)
Okay, right wing supporters and FOX has vigorously defended each and every one of these lies, it truly doesn't matter to you what trump does so you defend every lie as it comes out, otherwise you would get s**k of being made to look like a fool. But please, the right is being so blatantly lied to, stop it with the dems are lying garbage.
This is willful ignorance and obfuscation and it gets really old.

That was simply because this person isn't a real whistle blower. The intelligence community changed the wording from first hand to even second hand information, the first few months of this year.
