The whistleblower complaint over President Trump’s call with Ukraine raises concerns over how the White House handled records of the call with the foreign leader, The New York Times reported Wednesday citing two people briefed on the complaint.
The whistleblower identified multiple White House officials as witnesses to Trump’s alleged misconduct who could corroborate the complaint, according to people who spoke to the Times.
I hope that's the case. The American people folded on Nixon and the Vietnam War because of the ceaseless, daily drum beating about how "horrible" Nixon was - all while Nixon was dealing with an already escalated war 10,000 miles away, a hugely expensive and manpower intense Cold War, the Middle East ('67 War aftermath and '73 War), the Civil Rights crises, an hyper-expensive "Space Race", an Oil Embargo, a recession, an inherited "War on Poverty", etc.,etc.
Nonetheless, he finished the war on decent terms, nailed the NVA when they violated those terms in '73, opened China, started the ball rolling on Glasnost and the end of the Cold War, supported Israel in some tough conditions, and signed the Civil Rights Act.
I will always despise the Left for their vicious and effective campaign to take him down and I'll always be disappointed in the American People for caving in to the propaganda.
I sincerely hope that we have learned our lesson and never fail to support Donald Trump - but our feet were made of clay back then (and the old-line GOP betrayed Nixon by folding).
2016 WIN is only a part of the explanation.
In the Joe Biden brag on getting the Ukrainian Prosecutor fired, dumba$$ JOE said he told the Ukrainians go ahead and call the President (Obama), you aren't getting the money unless the Ukrainian prosecutor is fired.
If dumba$$ Joe Biden goes down, that means Hussein Obama was in on the shakedown and he will become part of the criminal investigation.
The word-for-word transcript remains classified. What was released was a reconstruction from notes by those who were listening.
No, that was the transcript. This isn’t Nixon and there are no missing tapes.
No it wasn’t. This is the cautionary note:
CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion. The text in this document records the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty Officers and NSC policy staff assigned to listen and memorialize the conversation in written form as the conversation takes place.
Disagree. Are their tapes? Classified? If so, the same Deep State that is torpedoing Trump now would be leaking it like crazy.
What do you mean “disagree”? You disagree with the statement on the document itself that it is not a word-for-word transcript?
No, I disagree that such a word for word transcript or recording exists or ever does for ANY presidential phone call. That disclaimer is to get the transcriber off the hook in case the President or someone else later says, “what about the other stuff?”
I am saying that this transcript is the best record available.
Unless a recording does exist and the President’s intel agencies are recording it. If they are, they better have a damn good reason.
