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.”

Corruption “sounds horrible to me,” President Trump said.
And the Rats clamored “impeach!”

So, there ya go.

Look into it?! Look into it?! How dare you, sirrah!

Sounds like a man caught cheating at cards, refusing to show his fifth ace.

“So, is President Zelensky working with AG Barr?”

Corrupt Dems is a given. Catching them at it is the crime, like walking in on mommy and daddy when they’re making whoopy.

“Looks like Democrats and Napolitano jumped the gun yesterday”

I’m sure the windbag will be on Fox today claiming it’s still an impeachable offense anyway.

Remember when "Schiff-for-brains" got punked by a couple of Russian comedians claiming to have "the goods" (i.e. nude Trump pictures ) on Trump? Once again he falls for Trump's boob bait.

Joe is just collateral damage. I believe this is about Hillary’s attempt to steal 2016. If the truth comes out, a lot more than Joe is going down.

Just checked in to MSNBC and CNN to see their take on the Trump transcript. Needless to say they are convinced that this is a smoking gun, proof of high crimes and misdemenors, etc. They see direct quid pro quo with military hardware for dirt on Biden. They see the new prosecutor Zel mentioned in the phone call as being appointed to investigate Biden for Trump. They are reading everything they want into this transcript. They are in an alternate reality.

You are absolutely wrong. There is no quid pro quo. President Trump did not offer anything to the Ukrainian president. The latter discussed what Ukraine was already doing. Our president asked for a favor in the context of both leaders trying to drain the corruption swamps in their countries.

Very damning to the DEMS and BIDEN - Talk about backfiring on Pelosi, unless she wanted Biden out. Could be, the activists pulling Nancy’s strings don’t want an old white moderate guy.

once again, it makes me wonder if this whole deal might have been a deliberate setup ... it’s been apparent to me before that a “leak” from a supposed “dissident” in the Trump administration led to things beneficial to Trump being published solely because the dying lying dying leftist fake stream enemedia thought it was something negative about Trump.

in other words, Trump knows that the dying leftist fake stream enemedia will publish only negative things about him, so he takes advantage of that with head fakes to get them to do what he wants them to do ...

Z said we’re ready to get those missiles.

Trump said, fine, but you have to do me a little favor first digging up dirt on a political opponent.

That’s trading US aid for political secrets, prima facie violation of law.

Republican Senate will stick by him though. Impeachment is politics and the GOP base doesn’t care about this stuff.

Yep, the female squad giving Nancy orders preferred a woman, a socialist woman.

Ukraine bringing up Biden’s son was trap bait for Trump. He should not have responded on that subject. The dems and media will spin it into more election foreign collusion. This will be hard to overcome.
