The funniest thing is that he could have replenished his coffers on Inauguration Day with one phone call to the Saudi embassy.
"Hey, here's the deal. $20 billion in my account by tomorrow night, or I call for the Green New Deal AND accuse you guys of being part of 9/11."
Even Fredo Corleone could have handled that.
And when that recorded call is leaked? It would be damning enough Republicans might consider impeachment.
The leaked bribery call he made to Ukraine resulted in impeachment, but because Democrats were in charge. His trial in the Senate found he wasn't guilty. And ever since, Republicans have been trying to get revenge.
So I have no idea why you think that.
Oh, don't be so dramatic. Americans don't do shit about corruption in their government unless it's a blowie from an intern.
I mean, I am thoroughly unconvinced that any amount of damning evidence will erode his suppose among Republicans. He just has to keep running the same plays and claim it's "fake news", that it was some kind of deep fake, let QAnon float around a conspiracy, or even at this point maybe even sit back and let the base contort itself from condemning the move to hailing it as a political master stroke of putting pressure on an American adversary.
Are we talking about the same republicans?
Now you're just nitpicking. A few minutes consideration could come up with dozens of ways of securely getting the message across.
