Is there a hard tape of Trump's "perfect call"?

If so, we must subpoena that recording and have it re-transcribed three times: once by a private sector scribe who is a Democrat and hasn’t read Trump’s script, once by a private sector scribe who is a Republican and who hasn’t read Trump’s script, and finally by the National Security Agency, who employs the government’s best transcribers. Then we need to compare the three transcripts to the one Trump keeps telling people to read.

I suspect Trump’s transcript is phonier than a three-dollar bill, and having the tape re-scribed by people not associated with Trump will prove it.

Today's Shea news: Terrorist Republican compares his situation to Trump's

https://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics/article/Defiant-Rep-Matt-Shea-won-t-resign-draws-Trump-14922803.php

After yesterday's news...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212802007

in which Matt Shea (Washington state House member from Spokane Valley, and obviously a Republican) was marooned on the steps of the Legislative Building...

he has responded with a Facebook post:

"Like we are seeing with our President, this is a sham investigation meant to silence those of us who stand up against attempts to disarm and destroy our great country. I will not back down. I will not give in. I will not resign. Stand strong, fellow Patriots.

"Thank you to everyone for the massive outpouring of support prayers! I will continue to defend the Constitution against tyranny and fight to protect our God given rights to life, liberty, property and the ability to defend the same. Blessings to you. Matt."


The last and only expulsion from the Washington Legislature happened in 1933. I suspect another one will happen next month.

His name is Matt Shea. He is a Washington state House member from Spokane Valley. He has been involved in both Bundy standoffs, among other things. He wants you and I dead.

Today, a report detailing his terrorism-related activities has been released. As a result, he has been kicked out of the House GOP caucus, and its leader is calling for Shea's resignation.

The sheriff of Spokane County believes Shea should be charged with domestic terrorism, but can't figure out how to do it without bringing every Teabagger, Three Percenter and Sovereign Citizen west of the Rockies to Spokane.
