So, the cat’s out of the bag. Democrats are in a tiff because the President asked that chicanery they orchestrated (and in Biden’s case bragged about) be looked into?
Ukraine-Trump Transcript particulars (full transcript at the link)…relevant text:
“I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation..I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”
“I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United $tates, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, 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.”
“I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call and we will get to the bottom of it. I’m sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything.”
O-M-G…a President who wants to investigate collusion, extortion…law-breaking?
Unhhh…but wait – where’s his quid-pro-quo, do-it-or-else threat? NOWHERE.
Can’t wait to see how FakeNews tries to spin this.
‘CrowdStrike, server’…it ‘all started with Ukrainian involvement’. The ultimate irony?
Democrats who ranted about ‘collusion’ want to impeach the President for getting ‘to the bottom’ of what they claim to be that most heinous event in the history of this Nation.
We wonder why…
Gotta love it.
