Thanks for posting that. Good to know Zelenskyy was at work to curb the corruption in Ukraine.

Unfortunately President Trump’s call to congratulate President Zelensky had a string attached. How our President thought this would not become an issue is hard to believe given the number of people who actually heard this call:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/12/i-would-like-you-to-do-us-a-favor-the-30-minute-phone-call-that-changed-trumps-presidency.html

President Trump never did like the amount of material he was offered for morning briefings, and that apparently extended to briefings prior to important phone calls. While that may have served him well in business situations, he would have encountered fewer difficulties during his presidency by viewing such briefings. Did he not understand how hard it is to keep secrets in DC?

From the link: “The person said a six-page pre-brief with attachments was once prepared for Trump before a call to a foreign leader. But that turned out to be too long, as did a single-page version. Preparing pre-brief note cards that offered about three talking points for Trump to make on a call was the norm, according to this person.... The individual said that when Trump is done with the note cards, he often rips them up and tosses them in a burn bag. Staff who handle records have had to retrieve the burn bags from the residence, put the papers out on a table and tape them back together to preserve them as official presidential records, this person said.”
