that is incredibly notable because as brianna was saying, it s been this long-standing practice of strategic ambiguity. basically, that means that the white house will say, china, don t do this. we don t want to see you do this, but they wouldn t exactly spell out what would happen if china were to do that. and the president, of course, did that today, saying the u.s. military would be involved in this. so, yes, afterward, you did see some of the president s aides try to walk this back saying he wasn t articulating any kind of change in his policy, but it is a policy difference for him to come out and say explicitly they would do that. not just that they would provide arms to ukraine or arms to taiwan and weapons to taiwan like they are doing with ukraine, but saying they would go one step further, john. of course, it s a statement the president has come close to saying before. he articulated it very bluntly with no clarifications, no caveats. you can have aides walk it bac

You have to your point, to both of your points. You have the physical evidence meaning the documentation, the text messages, the signed checks. You have all of the corroborating witnesses, david pecker, and now you have Michael Cohen. Is this proof beyond a reasonable doubt .
