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.”

“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.”

No doubt. The President mentioned Crowdstrike. So, the entire 2016 scam is in the lights.

Exactly what the DNC Media has sought to cover up.

The way you wrote it is not how it is written in the transcript. It’s yours (and the Dems’) spin.

What a stupid, baseless, phony scandal the Democrats, Nevertrumpers & media are trying to promote. Endless conga line of Democrats and the like crying crocodile tears while covering up for the crooked Biden family. It won’t work.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 25, 2019

Trump mentioned “Crowdstrike” and “server” in the same paragraph. Surely THAT is impeachable!

I don’t see Hunter Biden alive by Thanksgiving....either suicide or overdose on cocaine. He can’t handle this type of pressure.


That’s what the coroner will $ay.

What the Democrats are saying is that President Trump committed an impeachable offense by asking Ukraine to re-open an investigation that was shut down when then Vice President Biden threatens Ukraine with the loss of aid unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating the company in which his son is as a director earning $50 K/month.

When the average person in the streak finds out that this BS is what this whole matter is about, the Democrats are going to absolutely get their clocks cleaned.

So if you commit a crime run and win an office and you’re free and clear.


This is it. And not even win: they are focused entirely on Biden’s RUN - their impeachment grounds have only to do with him being a potential opponent candidate. They are ignoring that he was a veep who may have been committing a crime. Which means that if you were a corrupt officeholder, if you run for any office against the one who has power to go after your crime, they can’t touch you.

Funny how the Mockingbird State Media is grossly paraphrasing - and outright lying about what President Trump said, but they are not quoting his actual words.

Why would they have 5 people transcribing presidential calls? Sounds flintstonian.

I would say that the Democrats are like Wile E Coyote, but that’s not fair to Wile E Coyote.

Wile E Coyote was at least competent.

"so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me."

Convict the dots, people! That ellipsis is the 18-minute gap that will sink the big bad very scary Orange Man.

I heard there were 4 transcribers, but I'll take your word that you've got that right.

The answer is redundancy. It actually lends credibility to the "officialness" of the document. For example, say one transcriber decides NOT to include something...maybe he's a political hack and figures it would make the president look bad...he has four other transcribers' accounts to contend with. If one can't understand a word, he has four other transcribers' accounts of what word was said. You've got 10 ears making darn sure that the call is transcribed properly.

When they run around boo-hooing about how this isn't a verbatim recording, they are intentionally being misleading. This transcript is produced by five professionally trained transcribers to ENSURE the record of the call is correct.

You don't have tapes with "blank spots". You don't have digital recordings that are edited together. You don't have servers that are "bleachbitted". You have human beings ensuring that every second of this portion of the American historic record is recorded accurately. Human beings that, if called upon, should be able to TESTIFY that their accounts were correct.
