Why did Holmes respond affirmatively, & w/o clarification, to Goldman's mis-stated question mentioning President 'Zelensky' when Goldman clearly meant 'Trump'?

This assumes nobody would make a clip of this moment to confuse things, like Russia or Fox News.

#ImpeachmentHearing
I mean, both Goldman & Holmes clearly knew Goldman meant Trump, & Holmes answered based on that shared knowledge, but that's not the point: the video record clearly says 'Zelensky'.

Glitches in the matrix can be weaponized just like anything else, no?

#ImpeachmentHearing
Actually, there's an earlier glitch here, where Goldman says President Zelensky but meaning Ambassador Sondland.

Why is Goldman introducing glitches?

YOU WERE ABLE TO HEAR SOME OF WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID TO PRESIDENT ZELENSKY, RIGHT?

Here's the initial glitch: Zelensky should be Trump, Holmes didn't correct

...TO WHICH AMBASSADOR SONDLAND RESPONDED THAT HE WOULD AND HE WOULD, IN FACT, DO ANYTHING THAT PRESIDENT ZELENSKY WANTS. IS THAT AN ACCURATE RECITATION OF WHAT HAPPENED?

I don't really care about impeachment or these hearings, my concern is, w/ foreign actors using disinformation, US officials should be more careful about exact wording & not assume corrections are obvious to future listeners who may only see clips w/o context
