Commonplace Assertion vs Factual Claim

[EvMetro]

It is important to understand the meanings of commonplace assertions and factual claims, and it is even more important to be able to differentiate them if one is to understand the current political landscape.

A commonplace assertion is a statement that many (or even most) people believe to be true, even though they cannot prove that it is a fact.

Factual claims assert that a condition has, does, or will exist. These claims are called factual claims since they are supported (are proven) by factual, verifiable information such as statistics, specific examples, and personal testimony.

In the case for impeachment, what are the factual claims?

I wonder what you call this exchange:

Reporter: What did you hope the outcome would be with the Zalensky call?

President: I had hoped they would investigate the Bidens.

Question: Who incriminated themselves in this exchange whether the outcome happened or not?

GOP minions take a stab at this...

It looks like an interview.

That exchange does not include enough context to see if anybody incriminated themselves.
