If GOP members of Congress had made a video last year under the Biden administration, saying to the military that they didn’t have to obey illegal orders, everyone would have said “Huh?”
Because there was nothing close to that even happening.
It would have produced a collective shrug.

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
