House Republicans Demand Release of Biden-Zelensky Transcript
Newsweek ^ | 1/28/22 | Staff

Posted on 01/28/2022 8:57:46 AM PST by Its All Over Except ...

Republicans in the House of Representatives are calling on President Joe Biden to release the transcript of his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about a possible Russian invasion of the country.

The demand comes after the White House and the Ukrainian government disputed a CNN report in which a senior Ukrainian official told the network the call "did not go well."

The House Republican Conference pointed to a video of Biden's remarks in 2019 calling on then President Donald Trump to release the transcript of a phone call he had with Zelensky.

The Twitter account for House Republicans sent a series of tweets on Thursday demanding that Biden release the transcript, as well as examples of Biden and other Democrats calling for the Trump-Zelensky transcript to be released in 2019.

"Biden MUST #ReleaseTheTranscript," House Republicans wrote, retweeting a 2019 video of Representative Adam Schiff speaking to CNN's Jake Tapper.

House Republicans also made reference to the CNN report that cited a senior Ukrainian official. The White House strongly disputed the report, saying anonymous sources were "leaking falsehoods."

The account's pinned tweet is currently a 2019 video of Biden calling for the release of the Trump-Zelensky transcript.

"I'm calling for the president to release the transcript of the call," Biden said at the time. "Let everybody hear what it is. Let the House see it, and see what he did. That's what I'm calling for."

House Republicans wrote: "Now it's your turn @JoeBiden. #ReleaseTheTranscript."

Transparency? Anyone? If I recall Trumps phone calls that “didn’t go well” according to democrats/media were almost immediately public record.

Don’t quite know what Biden’s, Russia, China, and Ukraine have going on but one thing seems certain, we’re all being sold out. Again.

This is all political theater. The GOP knows they’ll never get a transcript on from Biden. Instead, they should put some heat on the Ukrainians. Make it clear that if the behave in a partisan manner it will affect their foreign aid bribes from Uncle Sugar in the future.

Since, by law, or has the law done a 180, politicians work for the American People, why aren’t the People allowed to know what politicians are doing. Politicians must be heavily involved in criminal activities for them not to want the People to know of their activities. Only makes common sense

Biden (Khan) has such a low approval %, he looks around and sees that his genetically engineered comrades have all fled supporting him and are nowhere to be found.

I know its a little off topic but,
If the Repubs are demanding releases, how about the release of the illegally detained Jan 6 political prisoners??

“..Republicans do not have the BALLS to demand anything....”

Exactly. The GOPe is actually a bunch of communist UniParty hacks. Not only do they NOT have the balls, they don’t WANT to do anything to upset their UniParty elders and payoffs.
How many times have we seen these azzholes snatch RAT defeat from the jaws of victory? They all need to be gone.

“Perhaps the ranking Republican member on the House Intelligence Committee can read on the House floor his version of the phone call—if later challenged on its accuracy, he can claim it was satire.”

That, FRiend, is Brilliant!!! And it would force them to release the transcript.

Are you kidding? Dems are in charge now. It would probably get the Republican member expelled.
