![]() Q: Two days ago, Wednesday, PBS did an interview with you, and you said the phone call was "wholly appropriate" in your mind. Consider this exchange between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and The Tennessean's Joel Ebert on Friday: Trump and his team seem to realize a reality-based approach wouldn't work, and the result is an avalanche of claims that crumble under scrutiny.īut perhaps no claim is more important than Team Trump's assertions about Trump's July phone meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It's why Trump is also throwing around all kinds of related nonsense about Joe Biden, Adam Schiff, and what the president sees as Russia's purported innocence in its 2016 attack on our elections. ![]() That's plainly false, of course, as the White House and its cohorts know, though the truth has been deemed secondary. In this version of reality, adjacent to our own, the intelligence community's whistleblower has been completely discredited. As Donald Trump's impeachment becomes even more likely, the president and his allies have been even more eager than usual to concoct an alternate reality they expect the public to take seriously.
