“an autopsy and Democrats wanted to see what lessons could be taken for upcoming elections.”
The review has been ready for months, but it was only released yesterday. NPR's Steven Fowler reports the Democratic report raises many more questions than it answers. "The report as delivered was incomplete, full of incorrect claims that were also impossible to verify, but the DNC said that they would put it out anyway, and put it out they did. All 1952 pages, each one stamped with a disclaimer that the DNC was not provided with
"the underlying sourcing, interviews, or supporting data for many of the assertions contained herein. And in what is a fitting metaphor, there literally is no conclusion included." NPR's Steven Fowler reporting "China's foreign ministry says it firmly opposes U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The statement comes as the senior U.S. officials says arms sales to
the Democratic Island have been paused, due to the war with Iran. From Taipei,
Yan, Camusend, Brumby, has more." "Acting Navy Secretary Hong Kong said Washington was posing arms sales to quote, "Make sure we have the munitions we need for epic fury, referencing the U.S. operation against Iran."
“The decision on whether to approve the package would ultimately be made by Defense Secretary”

“Assemblyman Drailla, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State covering Cuba, told me”
the indictment fits into a pattern of events that of echoes of that operation against the Venezuelan leader.
