Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a leading Democratic presidential candidate, called the memo "a smoking gun."
The newly-released summary of President Donald Trump's now-infamous July call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy swept through Washington and the 2020 trail on Wednesday, bolstering Democrats' calls for impeachment and eliciting defensive outrage from some Republicans.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif, tweeted that "The transcript of the call reads like a classic mob shakedown: – We do a lot for Ukraine – There’s not much reciprocity – I have a favor to ask – Investigate my opponent – My people will be in touch Nice country you got there. It would be a shame if something happened to her."
A description of the call, released earlier on Wednesday morning, shows Trump asking the Ukrainian leader to "look into" why an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, ended. The transcript came a day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry in response to reports that Trump tried to pressure the Ukrainian leader to investigate Biden's son.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a leading Democratic presidential candidate, tweeted, "This "transcript" itself is a smoking gun. If this is the version of events the president's team thinks is most favorable, he is in very deep jeopardy. We need to see the full whistleblower complaint and the administration needs to follow the law. Now."

Drudge and mittens are working on that
So Warren is so dumb she thinks Trump would release a smoking gun on himself ?
NOT a summary — FOAD Big Media, as always!!!
No quid pro quo - no crime.
Now, let’s talk about Biden, Hillary & Bammy.
This and more.
So how is it a crime to simply ask of any US official past or present used undo influence on behalf of their family.
That would be a crime and we would need to know about that crime.
That is all that is here, Trump simply asked how things went down.
Sorry left but your lies are exposed one more time.
Nice Ukraine you got here, be a shame if you couldn’t defend it.
I’m hungry. Anyone know where I can get a nothing burger?
Read the thread about Trayvon and the demo hoax
All one needs to know
Please, please, please, dear Lord... let the dems move forward with this impeachment nonsense. The country opposes it and will oppose them next year.
Trump asks about crowdstrike and getting to the bottom of it. The Ukrainian Prime Minster says the prosecutor will start working on it in September....here we are... September...I wonder if someone is afraid of that investigation
Proving just how insane these haters are. No sane person could vote for them.
I read the transcript twice there is absolutely nothing in there harmful it’s 2 buddies talking dems have nothing but they have no choice here they have nothing else
Read the transcript. It ain’t 382 pages. It’s about 6+ pages.
There is NO THREAT to withhold aid. Thereis NO MENTION of aid. There is ‘we’ve worked hard to support the Ukr”.
There is encouragement to pursue the investigation of Biden along with all the other stuff the Ukranian criminal element engaged in. NOT FOR THE PURPOSE of torpedoing Biden. For the purpose of draining the swamp. Which the Ukr PM agreed with.
There is a pile of typical Trump gladhanding. Congrats on your come from behind victory.
There is absolutely flaming NOTHING untoward in the transcriipt. NOTHING.
When this is done, it will be another whiff. Another greasy nothing burger.
Look at the price of gold, down almost $30.
Look at the smashdown in bonds.
[fear items being sold]
Swing and a miss for dems.
No, Warren is just free to talk any shite she wants to because she knows there won’t be any impeachment and thus it’s just a political talking point for her to exploit.
EVERYthing about this is political. Impeachment is political, not judicial. Because the House can impeach for whatever it decides are “high crimes and misdemeanors”...which could in this case simply boil down to beating Hillary.
Did any of these people actually read the transcript?! They just go out on TV, tell the people what they want, knowing most people will never read it.
The transcript should be required reading for every American. Shed light on the nonsense they are accusing Trump of.
Rush is spending a lot of time the first hour of his show emphasizing the importance of the president mentioning the Crowdstrike firm in his conversation with President Zelenskiy. The Dems are crapping their pants today because of that.
