If one tells the truth it shouldn’t matter. Exposed them as lying hypocrites
I think you are missing an important point. The left will cut and dice what is said to make their points.
If a Congresscritter says. “It is ridiculous to say that Trump is guilty of collusion with the Russians”, what will be played and pushed on the media will be “Trump is guilty of collusion with the Russians.
Truth is not a complete defense against these tactics. The perpetrators have to be exposed and discredited, possible prosecuted.
These were private gatherings. The real question is who in your caucus is recording and then leaking? I put money on this being someone who doesn’t like Trump. There is an off hand chance that someone is out to get Kevin...which is probably wise
The transcript of the meeting includes one very curious statement from Paul Ryan, discussing his meeting with the Ukrainian Prime Minister. He is saying what Russia is doing to Ukraine is what they are doing to us, “financing our populists, financing people in our governments to undo our governments, you know messing with our oil and gas energy, you know all the things Russia does to basically blow up our country.”
Cathy McMorris Rodgers emphatically says “Yes!”
Meanwhile the conversation was most likely recorded by Evan McMullin who is pushing the Russian connection. Talk about propaganda.
If it didn't happen on the five o'clock news, it didn't happen. More truth to that statement than people will admit.
