that's the part I don't get...where's your imagined "Quid pro Quo"?...it makes no sense at all to me...help me out here...what's the whole "story" behind this? BTW, we sure as heck know what Trump's payoff was with the Ukraine scam that his own ambassador, Gordon Sondland admitted to.
The Biden team was already busy with their plan to get people out of there...and it was successful...if you think 120,000 evacuees in a matter of weeks qualifies...they didn't need Ghani to make any public statement to anyone...just do his job with his own military and reduce the risk level on the already announced exit on August 31st...
Maybe I'm standing alone here, but my assessment of the call has legs to it...yours looks a lot more 'etherial'.
