(CNN)To President Donald Trump, the whole flap with Ukraine is over a "perfect" phone call.
"It's based on a single phone call of congratulations to the President of Ukraine, which they fraudulently mischaracterized to sound absolutely horrible," Trump said a few weeks ago of his July 25 call with the Ukrainian President cited by a whistleblower complaint.
But a review of more than 2,600 pages of transcripts released this week from eight witnesses who have testified in the House impeachment inquiry over the past six weeks shows how controversy over Trump's Ukraine policy had been brewing inside the US government for months. It roiled efforts to bolster a key strategic alliance after Trump enlisted his own personal attorney to work outside normal diplomatic channels in an apparent effort to bolster his reelection chances.

I’ll bet they didn’t read the transcript first, or at all.
It would confuse CNN.
What a waste of taxpayer money! If Trump had committed a high crime, CNN would have been sure to mention it in the headline!
Nothingburger.
Get lost assholes.
Don’t confuse Trump haters with the facts... or with reading the July 25 phone call transcript.

Just because someone within the establishment disagrees with Trump’s foreign policy, that is not a reason for impeachment. It’s HIGH CRIMES and Misdomeners not POLICY DISAGREEMENTS.
Well in LibLand
Who better to write the rules on murder than a murderer.
Who knows more about fleecing the books than an accountant that has fleeced the books.
A better title would have been “Here’s what Adam Schiff wants you to think,” because when they say “released” they mean by him.
Trump enlisted his own personal attorney to work outside normal diplomatic channels in an apparent effort to bolster his reelection chances.

He didn’t know he was supposed to use any or all of the plants in the WH that were there to ‘keep him in line’.
Remember the ‘praise’ Comey got when he said PDJT had the nerve and audacity to ask him for a loyalty oath.
I don’t know what business Comey has ever been in but if your INNER CIRCLE isn’t ‘loyal’ to YOU, just who are they loyal to?
Apparently, the further down the hierarchy one goes, the more influence those people should have over the President's exercise of his Constitutional powers?

In a shoe box in a closet along with Hillary's E-Mails.
Indeed.
Alcee Hastings.... now that IS rich! A good friend investigated this absolutely fully corrupt former federal judge. The dude had GOLD (not plated solid 18K gold) plumbing in his master bath. And,like ole “cold cash” Cong. Jefferson, who was caught in New Orleans insisting on being taken back to his house after Katrina (in a boat, no less) and went in and took out 75K plus in cash from his FREEZER!
Hastings continually, as a matter of form, took major bribes- from drug dealing gang pals of his, from other racketeers, and also he CHARGED defense attorney’s clients for the “decision” they would want. It was through Customs that they caught this a-hole and he should have been imprisoned.
That he would be composing the “rules” of impeachment having been one of the few in history federal judges to be removed by the Senate through impeachment and conviction— is REALLY telling us how g-dmd LOW the demonrats are in absolute corruption. Schiff is a known PEDOPHILE, and Pelousi is just fine with that— after all, look at the constituent composition of her “district”—— they love her because she looks and acts like “Mrs. Robinson” from the “Graduate” movie— a fave of her male faggot majority population. The very kind of women, women haters hate and then dress up to look like in drag constests. If they aren’t walking around in a@@less leather pants with their wankers flopping in front. The CASTRO district-— check that on you tub.
What a waste of time and the people’s money.
Right, like there have never been any back channel efforts ever made before by any President. If it weren't for JFK allowing his Attorney General to discreetly talk with a Soviet Ambassador, we probably would have had nuclear war over the Cuban Missile Crisis. Sometimes I think the State Department is totally worthless, redundant, and conflicts with the CIC's direct comms with other leaders. They have their own agendas over at State.
Build a Cabinet Department and they will come. We all know how competent Kerry and Hillary were as Secretary of State.
I no longer read fiction
It CNN reporting Democrat Fascist Party propaganda.
Here is the problem for the Democrat Fascists and their toadies in the Fake New Media. We will let them assume EVERYTHING is true and accurate in the “transcripts. We allow this nonsense of hearsay, feeling and assumptions to be allowed as “evidence”.
There is still no crime here. Nothing in the “transcripts” displays a crime
If Quid Pro Quo is a “Crime” Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP. Watch the video of him bragging about it.
The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did, neither is Trump guilty of anything.
It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions. .
Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House.
All that effort and all they can come up with is policy controversy?
No actual crimes?
Bless their little black hearts, they must be so dejected.
Any mention of CROWDSTRIKE in the 'transcripts'?
