I’d say at least 5 more. So let’s pick the over/under at 5. The previous 4 versions don’t count for o/u. I’d take the over.
Wonder if there is somewhere I can actually bet that?
Link to original Daily Mail story from July 4, 2023 that contains the audio link.
How will the White House discredit this audio from Day Zero that contradicts the story they are putting out now?

Now Joe the Pedo is blaming construction workers for Hunter's coke habit.
Lunchbox Joe. What a guy.
Nope. Hunter in the closet with a rolled up dollar bill.
Illegal ones.
Got a driver’s license from MN or IL. Looked legit on paper.
The CIA has cleared escorts watching workers on construction projects. The White House does not?
I suppose the construction workers are making all the stupid policy decisions, too?
Ey Tony, yo! What did youse do wit da coke?
And these twits think that we are too stupid to figure it out.
It was a Mega MAGA construction worker, in other words, Trump’s fault !
Oh hell yes!
Don't check 'visitors' or 'construction workers' for dangerous items.
I Believe it; why shouldn't I believe it??
--Stalag 17 reference.
Yup...and 51 former national security advisors have stated that that’s exactly what happened.
And we trust Jake The Snake because.....?????
