insidious 阴险的； 隐伏的；暗中为害的；狡猾的
adjective /ɪnˈsɪd.i.əs/
(of something unpleasant or dangerous) gradually and secretly causing harm
insidious 在16世纪初进入英语，最初的意思是“等待机会进入，诡诈”。这个词可以追溯到拉丁语 ambush，意思是“埋伏”。 insidious 衍生的意思包括“具有逐渐和累积的效果”和“逐渐发展，以便在变得明显之前已经既成事实”。
Two of the most striking passages in the transcripts come from
Sondland. In one exchange, he describes how Giuliani's demands of
Ukraine "kept getting more insidious as [the] timeline
went on." In another, he expresses his view that the insistence that
Ukraine investigate former vice president Joe Biden was "improper," and
possibly illegal.

The word egregious was used in instant
messages sent by the pilot, which indicate that Boeing may have misled
the Federal Aviation Administration about the safety of the automated
system.

The idea immediately generated controversy. Trump is already fighting
three lawsuits suggesting that he is violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which prohibits U.S. officeholders from personally profiting from payments by foreign governments.

trot sb out
to
make someone appear in public, usually to represent an organization or
an opinion； to bring someone to represent or defend your idea or opinion
in public, in a way that is not new or interesting.
使某人出现在公众面前，通常代表一个组织或观点；
使某人以熟悉没有新意的方式在公众面前代表或捍卫你的观点
I don’t expect anything to change in future hearings. Democrats will trot out witnesses they have already vetted in private. Anti-Trump acolytes throughout the media-entertainment complex will pronounce they are shocked at the revelations, all while refusing to even contemplate that maybe the Biden family should at least be looked into.
