(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.

How would the President benefit? He already knew about Biden’s bragging and Hunter’s money making stupidity.
To just get posts that are all pro-Trump would be boring and not let any of these rest of us see what the opposition is up to.
Just don't read the CNN posts if you don't like them. Like changing the channel on the TV. It's not difficult.
Its a question of legitimacy. I dont advocate censorship CNN has the credibility of the Weekly World News that had Clinton shaking hands with Aliens.
In other words, the President of the United States used his constitutional authority to set our Ukraine policy, the Deep State ignored the lawful orders of their boss, and our president make an end run around the far-left traitors. I don't have a problem with that.
BS meter indeed!
I read the whole article to see if there were any actual crimes cited, let alone proven.
There weren’t.
There was this:
“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 chance”
Trump short-circuited the usual State department channels. Too bad, so sad. Not. That was most of the article.
Then there is this:
“The President’s suspicion of Ukraine dates back to the 2016 election, due to baseless conspiracy theories that it was Ukraine, not Russia, that interfered in the US election.”
Here is the non-mention of Crowdstrike, the Ukranian server used by the Democrats. So CNN did not mention the common knowledge that is here on Free Republic.
The whole disjoint of this impeachment ‘investigation’ is that no one documents the Republican explanation of the call—that President Trump had a legitimate reason to investigate Biden.
heard on LEvin’s show today that Congress is holding up $250M in Ukrainian ‘military aid’ in a defense spending bill that they refuse to pass.
So....what’s with the critters screaming over Trump making an executive decision to temporarily hold up aid to a still-corrupt Ukraine, while hiding their own prissy failure to pass aid????
” to work outside normal diplomatic channels in an apparent effort to bolster his reelection chances.” Someones opinion. we need to continue to say opinions don’t matter.
All theg’ve read is what Schiff wanted them to read.
