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.”

President Trump is going after the seditious Deep State.
The release of this transcript will contribute to his re-election in 2020, because it shows a president who is pursuing a clean up of partisan, seditious federal staff and extortionist politicians who are on the take, like Biden and his son Hunter.
The Dems are caterwauling because President Trump is succeeding.
So much winning.....ata go Mr. President!
Lol.
FR’s Russophobia lunatics used to urge Trump to invest 1000 billions in Ukraine.
“Bug-eyed Schiff is running around claiming that the transcript of the phone call isn’t ‘verbatim,’”
From what several in-the-know people have said, these phone calls aren’t recorded. A few people take comprehensive notes by hand — but no recordings.
It's even more than that. PDJT was actually doing what Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires the President to do: “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed[.]”
18 U.S. Code Section 201 generally defines and prohibits bribery. An official of the United States, including the Vice President, commits bribery if he corruptly undertakes an official action in return for a payment to himself or another person.
The actions of the Bidens precisely fit this definition because Hunter accepted a sinecure position on Burisma’s board that paid him about $600,000 per year when his only qualification for that job was being Joe's son and the influence Joe could therefore exercise on behalf of Burisma to benefit Hunter. Ukraine's prosecutor was, at that time, investigating Burisma for various alleged crimes. Joe consummated the bribery transaction when he almost immediately stepped in and, by threatening to withhold about a billion dollars in U.S. aid, forced the Ukraine government to fire that very prosecutor, thereby benefiting both Burisma and Hunter.
Since Donald Trump is President, he was only doing his constitutionally mandated job by contacting Ukraine's president and urging him to assist the U. S. in investigating this serious, likely criminal bribery conspiracy involving a former Vice President of the U. S. Indeed, as the transcript shows, PDJT urged the Ukrainian president to contact both Rudy Giuliani, his personal attorney, and the U.S. Attorney General to pursue this very serious, criminal, legal matter. It would have been impossible to be more law-abiding than that.
The charge that PDJT committed a "high crime or misdemeanor" is asinine because PDJT would have been derelict in his duties if he had not pursued this very serious criminal matter. IOW the DemonShits are preparing to impeach him because he did he job the Constitution requires him to do>.
Nancy should have trusted her instincts and put a stop to this nonsense, but no, she too got sucked into the Trump Derangement whirlpool.
I just call the DNC, say I work for CNN, and that I need today’s talking points.
Biden is guilty. He bragged about it during a public, video recorded conference.
POTUS was referred for possible prosecution by his own DNI over this nonsense!!!!! I believe that would have been dirtbag Dan Coats (R-K Street).
The ongoing coup is bipartisan in nature. Do not give the GOP a pass here.
From NY Times story that drudge is linking:
After a whistle-blower raised concerns about Mr. Trump’s dealings with Ukraine, the director of national intelligence and the inspector general for the intelligence community each referred the complaint for a possible criminal investigation into the president’s actions, according to a Justice Department official.
Democrat Vice President Al Gore was caught with suitcases full of bribery cash from China, and the Democrats laughed about it.
So did the GOP. They are just fine with Obama era corruption.

Meanwhile, there WAS a quid pro quo in Joe Biden’s dealings with the Ukrainian President. Basically, fire the Ukrainian Prosecutor General who’d been after the corrupt, oligarch-owned energy company for which Hunter Biden was the point man in the Obama admin (yet another corrupt act), or lose $1 billon in American loan guarantees. And it’s all on tape.
Trump played these losers yet again. So easy, so predictable.
So, the so called Whistleblower heard something from someone who talked to one of the four People who Transcribed the Call.
Got it.
Gather ten people in a line. Whisper something to the first Person and then have them each go down the line whispering what they have just been told by the previous Person.
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.
The procedure was described on Fox News last night. Five people listen to the President’s conversations with foreign leaders and simultaneously type up transcripts. Then they reconcile those transcripts and produce a final official copy. No audio recording is made.
Impeach him in the name of Democracy, and to teach him proper respect for his betters. Those racist, elitist republicans must learn their place.
hee hee...I’m sure that transcript was found scribbled on the back of a golf scorecard in the William P. Barr suite at Mar-a-lago after a Stormy Daniels performance ;-)
Z: I would also like to thank you for your great support in the area of defense. We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
T: I would like you to do us a favor, though.
There’s the quid and the quo.
Trump is now Lucy, and the leftists are flying through the air after trying to kick the football yet again. They didn’t cop how predictable they are?
The USS Biden has taken a huge hit broadside. How long can he stay in the campaign????
Trump sent missiles. Obama sent broken junk. Humvees with flat tires, etc. Yep. Real quid pro quo there.
