Speaker 2: The entire process of this prosecution by a special counsel

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: had become very politicized, and at this point President Biden

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: really has nothing to lose, at least not politically.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,159

Speaker 1: Siria's government have been weakened by other conflicts.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 3: Keep in mind that from many years, the Syrian government

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: has been engaged in the civil war backed by three

20

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,039

Speaker 4: did in the Internet. We were about to lose that

40
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,560

00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,080
