Ukraine call transcript shows Trump sought Biden probe, but made no mention of US aid
Fox News ^ | Sept 25, 2019 | Alex Pappas

The White House on Wednesday released a transcript of President Trump’s July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showing him seeking a review of Biden family dealings in the country – but the document does not show Trump leveraging military aid as part of a quid-pro-quo, as Democrats have suggested in pressing forward with impeachment.

The transcript, declassified by Trump a day earlier, indicates the call – which Trump made from the White House residence -- took place July 25 from 9:03 a.m. to 9:33 a.m. It begins with the president congratulating Zelensky on his election victory, before Trump eventually broaches the subject former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” Trump said in the phone call. “Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it…It sounds horrible to me.”

Trump 2020! Bad, but not impeachable!

Bug-eyed Schiff is running around claiming that the transcript of the phone call isn't "verbatim," but this sounds EXACTLY like something Trump would say -- on a phone call with a foreign leader, or at a rally in some "Deplorable" corner of a Rust Belt state. LOL.

Will Pencilneck admit that one of his pals at the NSA illegally bugged President Trump's phone?

That's his job description. According to the RAT standard, any investigation of a RAT is politically motivated, regardless of the predicate.

Any investigation of PT is 'oversight.'

Compare what the tenth Person says they heard to what the first Person was originally told. I guarantee you the first and last statements will sound completely different.


Well stated. Just used the same analogy with my wife before reading your post.

I think Drudge sold his site a couple of years ago.

Makes sense 'Drudge Report' is the brand asset.

But with that they aren't going to get non-conservatives (See Meghan Kelly) and conservatives are dropping it every day.

Having read the entire transcript, it does seem like a perfect conversation to me. None better.

So a president is not allowed to seek truth and justice when it comes to any American and their crooked dealings?

Here’s an update to this update. Ticker Carlson had Gillian Turner on to describe this note taking process. She served in both the Bush and Obama administrations in NSC positions that gave her direct personal knowledge. First of all, she said audio recording was abandoned after the problems Nixon had with it and this process was adopted. It consists of two note takers taking very complete notes of each Presidential conversation with a foreign head of state. Those notes are then reconciled to produce a virtual transcript like the one here.

Today (IRRC), Rush said Crowdstrike was hired by Hillary to create the false Russian connection to the "leaked DNC e-mail scandal", and that the story about ukraine artillary hitting their own troops because of a hack was created by Crowdstrike and totally false

I wonder if it was Hillary's diversion from the hit on Seth Rich
