Full title: BREAKING: NSC Official Reportedly Testifies He Heard Nothing Illegal On Trump-Zelensky Call, Transcript Accurate

BREAKING: CBS News is reporting that Tim Morrison, the National Security Council's Senior Director for European Affairs, testified before Congress on Thursday that he heard nothing illegal on the phone call between President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Morrison also reportedly testified that the transcript released by the White House was accurate.

Morrison also testified that the memorandum of the call released by the White House is accurate to his recollection and he does not know the WB's identity. Story soon.


The Federalist is also reporting this according to transcripts obtained by the outlet.

“I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison testified today, according to Sean Davis.

"My recollection is that Ambassador Sondland’s proposal to [Ukrainian National Security Advisor Andriy] Yermak was that it could be sufficient if the new Ukrainian prosecutor general — not President Zelensky — would commit to pursue the Burisma investigation, Morrison testified according to the Federalist.

“I am pleased our process gave the president the confidence he needed to approve the release of the security sector assistance,” he added. “I am proud of what I have been able, in some small way, to help the Trump administration accomplish."

After a government whistleblower came forward, Congressional Democrats accused President Trump of offering an illegal quid pro quo, pressuring the Ukrainian government to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in exchange for military aid. On Thursday, they voted to conduct an official impeachment inquiry into President Trump's actions.

This is a breaking news post and will be updated as needed.

The thing that is amazing to me is that, on this routine telephone call, everyone and their brother is present and at least a couple are engaged later in preparing a transcript.are we really expending this amount of bureaucratic energy in every presidential communication?

The committee responded to Morrison by saying: “ Who asked you anyhow?”

He never asked Zelensky to investigate Biden, or his son. He specifically asked them to investigate the firing of prosecutor Viktor Shoki who had been investigating Burisma.

Copy of the transcript. LT Col Clown boy, the Democrat “star witness” this week admitted in his testimony the transcript is complete and accurate.

In any sane world this kills the Democrat Fascist clown show in the House dead. But we don't live in a sane world anymore.

It now turns out this “impeachment” scam is all about the DC Swamp criminals trying to divert attention off the AG current criminal investigation. The “whistle blower” is one of the prime agents in the original “Russian collusion” fraud.

No wonder they were all panicked by the Ukrainian call, they knew the noose was being slipped over their heads.

That is actually what the hell this whole damn thing is about what someone’s feelings were about the call!! The ONLY damn feelings that matter about this damn call IS the Ukrainian President AND he felt NO PRESSURE!!!! Aid was released, Biden’s son taking huge sums of money is TRUE end of story!!! This is NOT an impeachable offense!!!!
