The full transcript. grin

Trump did nothing wrong at all.




The White House on Wednesday released a transcript of President Trump’s phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart, where the two discuss corruption in the country and how Joe Biden “stopped” an investigation into his son, Hunter.

In the conversation, Trump mentions that a Ukrainian prosecutor “who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair.”

He then suggested that President Volodymyr Zelensky get in contact with Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer, and Attorney General William Barr.

“The other thing,” Trump said, according to the transcript. “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son. That Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.

“Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you ·can look into it … It sounds horrible to me,” he said.

Zelensky assured Trump that he will look into the situation.

“The next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate who will be approved by the Parliament,” he told Trump.

“He or she will look into the situation. … The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case,” Zelensky said.

The transcript says it is a “memorandum of a telephone conversation” produced by White House Situation Room notetakers.

“TELCON is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion,” it said.

Biden, as vice president, told Ukraine in 2016 that the US was considering canceling $1 billion in loan guarantees unless it got rid of top prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who had been accused of slow-walking a number of corruption probes.

But Shokin, who was voted out of office by Ukraine’s parliament, was looking into Burisma Holding, an energy company that gave Hunter a seat on its board.

Burisma paid Hunter as much as $50,000 a month.

Shokin’s replacement Yuri Lutsenko, continued the investigation into Burisma and concluded there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden or his son.

News reports, based on an intelligence community whistleblower’s account of the phone call, said Trump stalled nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine to pressure Zelensky to open the probe into the Bidens.

Trump has admitted talking to Zelensky about the Bidens, but said he held up the aid because he believed that European countries were not paying their fare share of Ukraine’s defense, denying there was a quid pro quo.

The aid package, approved by Congress, was released to Ukraine on Sept. 12.

Trump, hours before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of an impeachment inquiry, wrote in a tweet that he “authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine.”

The president said “you will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call.”

The White House said it will also release the whistleblower’s complaint this week.

An unidentified member of the intelligence community filed the complaint on Aug. 12 with Michael Atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community, flagging a “promise” Trump made to a foreign leader.

Atkinson, labeling the complaint of “urgent concern,” turned it over to acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire.

But after consulting with the Department of Justice, Maguire refused to turn over the report to Congress.

To all the Leftist.

Asking for investigation into Biden wasn't a crime. The real crime will be promising something in return for that investigation.

Good luck looking for that

...trump also asked zelenksy "to do us a favor" and look into an unsubstantiated theory that ukraine played some role in a cache of emails being stolen from the democratic national committee leading up to the 2016 election....trump is still seriously concerned about the stolen emails...

...asking a foreign govenment to open prosecution on joe biden and his son hunter biden...but only to discuss with the attorney general and rudy guilliani...why only these two people...and not representatives of the department of justice or the congress...which could potentially affect the 2020 elections...

In one way or the other nobody is clean..The least clean people are even politicians..Asking Biden to withdraw because of an accusation that hasnt been found to be true would be most unfortunate..If Biden withdraws,what about Elizabeth warren and her so-called American Indian Heritage?The Loser here is no other person than Taliban Trump!

I see people saying the 2020 General election is going to be a Landslide either for the Democratic Nominee OR President Donald J Trump.

That's just totally false.

The 2020 Election is going down the wire. There isn't gonna be a blowout.

You may deny all you want but a part of me tells me that if Elizabeth Warren is the nominee President Donald J Trump will be reelected.

There are a lot of voters that aren't ready to vote a Female President yet.

Despite the flaws of Hillary Clinton she seem like a better candidate to me than Elizabeth Warren.

She hasn't even been hit very hard. At this point the Media is providing a cover for her & not asking a lot of tough questions.

Both former Vice President Joe Biden & President Donald J Trump have been hit very hard & they're both still standing.

Will Elizabeth Warren survive another Knockout Blow? I'm totally not convinced at this point.

Who will deliver it? Tulsi Gabbard OR Amy Klobachar

I still believe that Trump is a damaged good and the insiders within the Republican party knows that. There's a reason about 17 republicans are not running for reelection in the Congress. We shall see anyway because there's no way Americans will let him get away with his bigotry and divisiveness.

You people just wanna hand President Donald J Trump the election.

But of course Social Media isn't the real world.

I see a lot of Trump Supporters who're Black.

And they don't really tell you that they're supporting Trump because of the perceived backlash.

These are the kind of people that will be thumb printing for him at the Ballot Box & might help push him over the edge.

When you ask them why they're supporting President Trump then they will inform you:

That the Democratic Party wants to take away their guns

That the Democratic Party wants to take away their Health Insurance

That the Democratic Party supports Decriminalization of border crossing & open borders

Then most of my friends refers to Senator Bernie Sanders as a Socialist & Senator Elizabeth Warren as the Fake Indian.

Actually Former Vice President Joe Biden is the only one considered sane among the front runners.

And like most of my friends the best way to beat an Old White Man is to nominate another Old White Man.

We've already tried a Woman & it didn't work out.

Why would you put out another woman this time around?

Trump is damaged goods to Democrats. He isn't damaged goods to Republicans & independents.

Someone with an 80% approval ratings among republicans cannot be regarded as a damaged goods

Democrats aren't gonna vote for him anyway so that doesn't matter.

He only has to convince Independents that he's a better candidate than their Democratic Counterparts who only wants to confiscate their guns, take their Health Insurance Away & Support open borders.

I watched President Donald J Trump rally in Minnesota on T.V. & a lot of the things he said reasonated very well if you're an independent.

I may not like him personally but President Donald J Trump knows how to put on a spectacular show.

The only other person that can do that effectively is President Barack Obama. He knew what to say & how to say it effectively inorder to convince undeciders.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Elizabeth Warren & Senator Bernie Sanders don't even come close.
