Daily Mail: Transcript of Donald Trump's call to Ukraine's president is published and reveals he DID ask leader to investigate Joe Biden and work with Rudy Giuliani but did NOT tie it to aid - and Bill Barr's Justice Department has ALREADY cleared him
* The White House on Wednesday released the bombshell transcript of President Donald Trump's phone call with the president of Ukraine
* Trump urged Volodymyr Zelensky to work with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani after the new Ukrainian leader said his aide had met the former New York mayor
* Trump brought up former VP Joe Biden and his son Hunter, saying there was 'a lot of talk about Biden's son'
* He tried to connect Zelensky directly with Giuliani and Attorney General Bill Barr
* Zelensky said he wanted to 'drain the swamp' and called Trump a 'great teacher for all of us'
* Trump said appeared to reference the the hacked DNC server, asking Zelensky to 'find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine'
* Zelensky told Trump he had stayed at Trump Tower in the past and said: 'You have nobody but friends around us.'
* The call is part of a whistle-blower complaint to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community
* Both he and the acting Director of National Intelligence passed it to the DOJ for possible criminal investigation - but it declined to order one
* A defiant Trump called the furor over the call 'a political war' and a 'witch hunt' and said it had been 'built up as the call from hell'
The White House on Wednesday released the bombshell transcript of President Donald Trump's phone call with the president of Ukraine where Trump urges his counterpart to investigate Joe Biden and work directly with his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani – and even brings up the DNC's hacked email server.
But the transcript does not show Trump tying the investigation to aid for Ukraine as he spoke to Volodymyr Zelensky, the quid pro quo which some reports had suggested it contained.
The call forms part of the whistle-blower complaint from an unknown intelligence official which alleges a pattern of wrongdoing by the president, but which has been blocked from being given to Congress.

WNU Editor: This nothing-burger is as big as the Russian collusion nothing-burger. Republicans should be screaming at the top of their lungs at the media for pushing a false narrative on this phone call. Need I remind everyone that for the entire week the media was saying non-stop that the whistle-blower was claiming that President Trump was using military aid as a lever to force the Ukraine President to investigate Joe Biden. That is a lie. Another lie are the media claims that President Trump brought up Joe Biden's name eight different times in his phone conversation with the Ukraine President. His name was brought up only once, and that was in reference to former Vice-President Biden's boasts that he fired a Ukrainian prosecutor that was investigating his son.
But the big bombshell in this transcript is the U.S. President asking for help from the Ukraine President on Crowd Strike, a cyber security company that accused Russia of hacking into the Democrat parties servers. It is Crowd Strike's conclusion that Russia hacked into the Democrat servers that became the basis for the entire Russian-collusion narrative, and it is clear to me that President Trump wants to know the who/what/where/and why behind this company and its ties to the Democrat Party, and why they did what they did. This bit of information was not disclosed by the whistle-blower, and if it was I am sure the Democrats and the media would be doing a different narrative right now.
Another surprise in this transcript is what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He clearly respects and adores President Trump. Thanking him profusely for the assistance that the President has given to Ukraine. Even giving him credit for helping him win the Ukraine Presidential and parliament elections by using the same tactics and strategy that Trump used to win the Presidency. These two men are close, and there is no question in my mind that President Zelensky is going to help President Trump as much as he can.
So what is next? The Democrats are pushing an alternative narrative, and are now saying that this is proof that President Trump strong-armed the Ukraine President to interfere in U.S. politics. In my opinion this is going to be a hard sell. From this transcript the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is very determined to get rid of the culture of corruption that exists in Ukraine, and is happy that he and the U.S. President share the same goals.
As for the whistle-blower, we now know more about this transcript than this whistle-blower. So the next step is to listen to him/her, and to find out who this person is. And more importunately, why was this intelligence officer so keen to know what President Trump was saying to other leaders. IMHO this is not the job of the intelligence community .... to seat down and be the judge and jury on what the President says. Bottom line. This whistle-blower has a lot of explaining to do.
In closing. The big loser in this entire affair is former Vice-President Biden. I think he never expected this to happen.

ReplyDeleteThis is not a nothing-burger. Voters are incensed. Democrats will pay heavily at the polls.
Just read the whole thing; wonderful to have a president that speaks with respect and has the respect of others. Dems just shot them selves in the foot, again!!! Ugly people and very desperate.

ReplyDeleteI've read it. Democrats will lose 2020.
And they will lose so badly it looks orchestrated. No one is that stupid to be still a Democrat in 2020. The parrot will be the last one.
Looking forward to what this means:
China will implode. With Trump in the driver seat for more than 5 years from now and his well documented despise (rightfully so) for the theft that's going on for decades, he will squash China right in front of our eyes.
Look at this man's track record. Sure, sure failed business man blabla I get it. But look at his interviews dating back even 30 years. He's called out China back then already. He's been steadfast and principled on this issue. Ignore his personal failures. This is beyond that. A -massive and historic- realignment worth tens of trillions of dollars and he's calling the shots while the media - our media - stomps on him and calls him names and tries to bully him and his supporters.
There is no way for Democrats to win in 2020. We will all go out and vote for him.
Bye Biden. Bye Warren. Bye Democrat party. Bye liars. Bye virtue signallers. Bye hate speech and sex/race card playing con artists.
A breeze of fresh air is upon us. Breethe in. And be merciful to the idiots among us. They don't know.
Joe Biden engaged in the usual corrupt politics. I hope that Joe Biden lives long enough and is cogent enough to see his son imprisoned for this corruption.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden should have been fighting the corruption in his part and in Washington. One of his Democrat political enemies did this. If he would have been cleaning up D.C. instead partaking, his son would not be going to prison.
Karma!
He made the bed and now he will have to lay in it.
Reading the "transcript" is not the same as listening to the call. Release the tape of the actual call. You know, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteTrump is hiding something or he would release the actual call tape. The whole conversation reportedly contained in the transcript sounds like Trump wrote it himself.
Imagine the President of the USA talking to the President of any foreign country and besmirching another American. Atrocious behavior perhaps included in the transcript just for the American people to read.

ReplyDelete@anon 250 that's a hilarious thought. Adam Schiff looks so sick and he always buys shirts way too big for his tiny neck. This guy has no spine figuratively and literally. How did these people ever get into office? We need a house cleaning and it must happen now. Vote them all out!

ReplyDeleteYou make yourself look very dumb when you call the middle of the road Biden a communist...name calling with no evidence. Now when Trump gives my tax money (and maybe yours) to the famers to help them out, is that communism, socialism, or capitalism?
Giving farmers money as recompense for the trade war is not socialism.
ReplyDeleteFurther whenever you have a group activity or effort it is not be definition socialism.
Too bad Fred could not sign his post of 5:50 PM
when the federal govt gives tax money to compensate farmers for losses they have, and the govt gives money to banks so they will not fail, is that your idea of capitalism?
ReplyDeleteI expect the government to compensate for losses due to the trade war.
ReplyDeleteR U an utter moron?
Lets get one thing straight. This “transcript” is no such thing. It’s a “reconstructed” transcript with a footnote saying it is not “verbatim”. And it also has ellipses. Which means it has been edited. Do not be fooled into thinking that this is Transcript of everything that was said.
