Morrison [Former NSC] Says Transcript Is Accurate, Nothing Illegal In Trump Call to Zelensky
Townhall ^ | 11/17/19 | Bronson Stocking

Posted on 11/17/2019 5:28:33 PM PST by NoLibZone

It's looking like the Democrats' narrative of President Trump's handling of foreign aid to Ukraine is the exact opposite of what actually happened.

Former National Security Council official Tim Morrison was deposed in a closed-door session in the House on Saturday. Morrison listened in on Trump's July 25 phone call to Ukraine President Zelenksy from the White House Situation Room.

"I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed," Morrisson told lawmakers.

Democrats made a big deal about Morrisson's "concern" over the transcript of the call being leaked. But Morrisson said his concerns about the transcript being leaked revolved around the impact the transcript might have on support for foreign aid to Ukraine, as well as how the transcript would play out in Washington's polarized political climate. So Morrison predicted the Democrats would make a nothingburger out of it.

Trump released the memcon of his July 25 phone call back in September. "To the best of my recollection," Morrison told lawmakers, "the Memcon accurately and completely reflects the substance of the call."

What about Biden’s admission that he extorted Ukraine into not investigating his son?

Morrison will be demonized like Barr. Narratives never die, they just change shape and re-form.

I predict that as soon as Biden drops or is forced out of the race an investigation will promptly be instituted.

I just watched a couple of minutes of CNN where Fredo is hosting a show about the impeachment inquisition. He was interviewing John Dean. It was totally bizarro world. Even Trump haters would be foolish to watch CNN, because they might get their hopes up, only to be dashed against jagged rocks when they experience what eventually will happen.

Transcripts be damned, but they coulda had tapes, the Nixon inquisition squashed that resource.

I hate to tell you, but on MSNBC (which I was forced to watch for several hours today, don't ask) they are telling exactly the opposite story, and they are repeating it over and over like a pile driver.

Trump's a dead man. His impeachment is certain, and the stress is killing him. The walls are closing in, he's a desperate man who knows the end is coming soon, one way or another.

There is a huge percentage of the population of USA and the world that believes Trump is the worst, most corrupt criminal to ever occupy the White House, which he won't be doing much longer.

We won’t be seeing Morrisson anytime soon in the open hearings. Schitt will not allow the witness.

I remain convinced this is about the Judiciary in this country. Libs know RBG's days are short. Trump gets to appoint another SCOTUS that's a 6-3 (5-4 depending on Roberts) conservative court.

No crime! Democrats have to invent one. Impeachment is a nothingburger.

They’ve made a big deal over a phone call that’s revealed no criminal conduct.

Why impeach? There’s no motive, no crime and no victim.

Somebody should ask him why Airik Charmarella was fired from the NSC, and if it's related to the two other NSC staffers who left to work for Schiff's intel committee.

“What about Biden’s admission that he extorted Ukraine into not investigating his son?”

Silly boy. You must be kidding. Surely you must realize no reasonable prosecutor would ever find anything wrong against someone like Biden, who had no intention of doing anything illegal. Now on the other hand, Trump...blah, blah, blah, blah

Should be end of this impeachment circus. But Democrats have too much invested to back down.

And they won’t, fo their detriment.
