Published on Sep 23, 2019 Trump Considers Releasing Ukraine Transcript Causing Speculation About "4D Chess." Republican Trump allies have added to the choir of Democrats calling for transparency in Trump's dealings with Ukraine amid the Joe Biden and Hunter Biden scandal.
But if it was the case that Trump abused his power to go after political rivals why would they entertain the idea of releasing the call transcript. Why would Trump even admit to the call when it turns out the "whistleblower" wasn't even actually a whistleblower.
The news stories have begun shifting to Biden and what he was accused of. Its a complicated story but may actually be a big nothing burger. Ukrainegate may just be an inverted Russiagate.
But perhaps that was the intent. Republicans and Trump using this scandal in the same way Democrats used Russia against Trump. In the end I'd assume the transcript will reveal nothing and nothing will come of the Biden story.
Meanwhile, Trump's base won't care and moderates are burned out by 3 years of Russia collusion nonsense to the point where even if there is something bad for Trump revealed no one will care, many won't believe it. Democrats have cried Russia so many times that only the "resistance" will likely be motivated by any of this news.
But in the end it gets the media to resurface the allegations about Joe Biden and certainly the far left democrats are enjoying it as much as Trump.
He shouldn’t do that. Make the Rats actually impeach him if they really want to see it.
Does the Ukraine president like having his conversations publicly exposed? Would this stop any future calls to anyone?
If he releases it, it will be obstruction of justice charges by Democrats.
Dan Bongino today in his podcast said in no uncertain terms DON’T DO IT MR. PRESIDENT!
If Trump releases the transcripts, then the Democrats will demand transcripts for every conversation he ever has with foreign leaders, forfeiting his Executive Branch rights.
If he releases this transcript, he will have a real hard time having candid conversations with other world leaders. If they are concerned that their remarks may appear in the media, they won’t talk the same way or be as candid.
Axing about Dem corruption is an impeachable offense.
When do we get to see Barry’s calls to the Iranians?
If trump was going to smear Biden it makes sense he waits till he’s the official candidate.
“But if it was the case that Trump abused his power to go after political rivals...”
It’s hard to imagine that Trump would regard that doddering stump (Biden) as a threat that warranted any concerted/risky effort.
Maybe, but what if President Trump was behind the ‘leak’ just to expose Biden and the Left?
It fooled the MSM into publishing the story. That would never have happened otherwise. Draining the swamp takes many forms.
Biden set the trap when he decided to run for President.
Expecting the media to ignore it is like stepping into the trap.
No one will ever really know! :)
Smear implies undue. I think there is plenty of due.
This was Trump's plan all along. That, and to once again embarrass the media, who can never stop pursuing a Trump scandal, no matter how ridiculous.
Personally....I think the source of the leak about the Ukranian convos was.....DJT himself. I think he created the leak for express purpose of getting the Dems to talk about Biden/Ukraine.
I don’t think there’s an ironclad connection between these conversations and Trump trying to sabotage Biden, but if there is, so what? Now; if there was a quid pro quo in the form of foreign aid withheld/released, then that would a different story.
This meme appears to have been a leak.
Who leaked it?
Who contrived it?
What are their connections to the IC sedition cabal?
It’s hard to see Trump’s statements as a smear when Biden is on video bragging about his actions.
Or, more currently, Kerry's chats with the Iranians on anti-Trump strategy? Was the attack on the Saudi refineries a complete surprise to Lurch? One wonders.
