If they weren't the main point of the article, why was that exact false quote used in the impeachment?

  Because that's generally how you reference things. Do you think the point of the article was 1. Trump said these exact words. 2. Trump attempted to convince GA election officials to sway votes, by suggesting that they'd be rewarded for marking democratic ballots as fraudulent? If 1, why was this important to people? If 2, how does the precise wording change impact the overall narrative?

    You've changed a fuzzy and incoherent quote about looking for evidence that the vote was tampered with into a clear directive. This is central, or it wouldn't be the thing that everyone uses to reference the event. And to be clear, I am specifically saying they're wrong about it being a "correction" instead of a retraction as well. They can call it what they like, but when the central quote that they based the narrative on is false, the whole thing collapses.

      There is still as much of clear directive in the recording. I'm not sure why you don't believe that.

        Trump is seemingly incapable of being clear, as your own quotes of him being incoherent establish: - “When the right answer comes out, you’ll be praised.” - “whatever you can do, Frances, it would be — it’s a great thing. It’s an important thing for the country. So important. You’ve no idea. So important. And I very much appreciate it.”
