Taylor has no idea how to respond to the conspiracy theories Republican Counsel Steve Castor is alluding to here. Yikes! pic.twitter.com/D8d0Yo0lhq— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 13, 2019
Castor's questioning was a fine example of trying to build bricks without straw. No matter how much he pressed them into the molds, they crumbled in his hands.
All he has as a "defense" is conspiracy theories and objections that Ukraine "didn't know", so no harm/no foul. Oh, and Biden was somehow corrupt, so Trump was justified in by-passing the DOJ and the FBI and sending Giuliani to do the investigation in Ukraine (which is implicitly based on the conspiracy theory that the FBI is part of the "deep state", but Castor dare not say that aloud).
Republican lawyer trying to make it sound like Trump-Zelensky call was part of getting cooperation for DOJ investigation of origins of Russian investigation. But DOJ statement said this isn’t true. & when Ukraine was looking for proof this was official DOJ request, answer was no.— Mimi Rocah (@Mimirocah1) November 13, 2019
Because this is what Castor scrupulously refused to do:
Isn't Donald Trump going to be mad at these Republicans for failing to even attempt to defend him on the facts? Isn't that what he's been asking them to do all along?— Susan Glasser (@sbg1) November 13, 2019
