Am I the only one who doesn’t trust this Sullivan asshole, either?
Smart move on Bonnen’s part, calling for the release of the entire, unaltered recording.
Sullivan can burn in hell, too

Love the phrase “unfettered ammunition”. Sounds like an NRA sub-sect.

As a current Texas resident who is furiously working to turn this state blue, I love it! Sullivan is an asshole.

Sullivan said he recorded the meeting because Bonnen had thrown someone else under the public bus a few months ago. Scoundrels recognize other scoundrels.
