But as I remember it, he was careful enough to put them into separate sentences, to give "plausible deniability". That is what the Republicans have been running with. It is up to influencers to shoot that down, on the spot, repeatedly, with the facts (since this is counterpropaganda):

1) quid and quo in same phone call.
2) "Memorandum" is not a complete unredacted transcript, testified by Vindman.
3) Hiding complete transcript on server is a coverup.
4) Not just one phone call.
5) Parallel off-the-books Giuliani operation tightening the screws.
6) Trump did hold up aid for weeks or months, until lawyers determined he had no authority.
