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.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Chevrolet had such a promotional success giving away Corvettes to NASA astronauts that they tried to give one to Yuri Gagarin and the State Department wouldn't let them, so the ephemeral French sportscar maker Matra gave him a now-almost-forgotten Matra Djet and it was all aesthetically pleasing.
