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

Posted on 09/25/2019 7:07:16 AM PDT by rdl6989

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.”

If Biden was innocent of corruption wouldn’t an investigation actually help Biden? Democrats think Biden is guilty.

A good start but not enough for me - I want the name, and his connections to the evil left, of the whistleblower.

Gosh.

That socialist Nancy Pelosi wants to impeach President Trump because she has found great wisdom from her lifetime of pulling turnips at Turnip Commune #34.

She can hardly wait for her grandchildren to get their hands dirty working side by side with their grandmother, pulling turnips in the hot sun.

The Democrats are socialists.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Anything illegal about it? No. But the witch hunt must continue.

NO!

He did NOT "seek Biden probe"!

He asked that Ukraine look into the firing of the prosecutor in the case.

Good luck with it. What dirty linen do Democrats want to keep hidden?

That’s the $64,000 question in Washington.

Here we go! Do we have a fake whistle-blower. That guy/gal must be exposed and prosecuted for lying to get whistle-blower status and protection. He/she is a fraud and must come before the bar of justice. The whistle-blower law must be protected for the genuine ones.

Hahaha. The position they are taking is that it is illegal to go after a politician who committed s crime in a foreign country. So if you commit a crime run and win an office and you’re free and clear. Complete nonsense

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.

Catherine Herridge on Fox now commenting how there are 4 people who take notes of the conversations, then cross check each other and that becomes the transcript. She also stated the calls aren’t recorded.

The Dems are going to have a hard time proving anything , except our president wants to know if corruption in the Ukraine has stopped and he calls on working with the AG to be assured.

Sounds like a CEO of the nation, asking for something that is in the interest of both countries.....

I read the whole thing to get the context as the dems say. Trump is asking for help in the now confirmed DOJ probe of Ukrainian interfence in the 2016 election. (which we already know they were helping hillary). They talk about both countries trying to drain the swamps. Biden thing is almost a causal thing he brought up. Trump says Biden is over hear bragging he got your prosecutor fired. LOL the dems.

Yesterday the DUmmies were already lowering expectations because of course Evil Drumpf would have altered the transcript. So the important thing - the thing 0n which impeachment hangs - is the whistleblower complaint.

Which we know to be hearsay from a biased partisan.

It had been reported by this whistle suck blower that Trump said impeachable things about 8 times.

From my reading trump asked Zel to look into what happened with the prosecuter and Biden’s SON. He didn’t ask about finding dirt on Joe Biden or offer any threats or rewards. This “scandal” is total BS.

"so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great"

Reminds me of "Office Space".
