Amid calls from Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, for the White House to release a transcript of a call between President Donald Trump and the president of Ukraine, Trump told reporters he talked about both Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, because of "all of the corruption taking place."

On a July 25 call with President Vladimir Zelensky, Trump asked the Ukraine leader to investigate Hunter eight times, multiple news outlets reported Friday, citing intelligence sources. Now, Trump says he hopes "they release" the call.

Before leaving the White House for an event with India's prime minister in Houston, Trump told reporters his conversation with Zelensky "was largely the fact that we don't want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son creating to the [sic] corruption already in the Ukraine."

The president also said he'd have "no problem" with his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, speaking to Congress about Trump's interactions with Ukraine, including Giuliani's reported meetings with top Ukrainian officials to discuss an investigation into Hunter Biden.

I think he's got 'em in a corner. All they had was the "Trump Administration's" refusal to turn over this MYSTERIOUS complaint.

From somebody who admits they have no first hand knowledge of the events in the complaint.

And I think everyone in the Gang of Eight has already seen the classified summary of the call. Schiff knows it's a nothing burger.

MAYBE the person who lodged the Whistleblower Complaint is really just a Trump supporter who knows how this ends up.

The president has the right to use any means to investigate an American citizen he might suspect is involved in a crime.

President Trump is on firm ground.

“MAYBE the person who lodged the Whistleblower Complaint is really just a Trump supporter who knows how this ends up.”

Exactly. Since nobody else was opening the Hunter/Joe Biden can of corrupt worms relating to Ukraine, PDJT had someone do it. Throw out a sexy story about Trump corruption, which the RATs and MSM will gobble up, then ... into the trap.

Maybe the whistleblower is a mysterious CIA asset named “John Miller.” LOL.

One thing we can be sure of, there’s no way that the Trump Organization today is doing business with international figures hoping to curry favor with the president. There’s no way Eric would do that.

Why would the POTUS have to “hope” anyone releases anything when he can just tell them to release it? He pulls stunts like this all the time and it’s infuriating.

Well, we mustn’t interfere in the normal legal process lest we be accused of Obstructing Justice.

It’s up to ODNI and DOJ to determine if the complaint is subject to the law requiring disclosure to Congress.

Trump created the Whistle Blower.

This is how he forced MSM to cover the Biden Ukraine corruption.

Rope a dope.

“The president has the right to use any means to investigate an American citizen he might suspect is involved in a crime.”

Absolutely. But, Mitt disagrees.

BTW, Rudy did a great job during his interview with John Roberts on Fox News Sunday. Well worth watching.

Our FBI and courts are corrupt and always protect Democrats.

Trump knows that fact, and found a clever way to get around the FBI and the 4th Amendment.

Ukraine don’t need no probable cause and don’t need no search warrant.

Release the call. Even if he repeatedly brought up Biden and asked them to investigate it - he broke no laws (the leaker did), and did nothing unethical.

Joe Biden Brags about getting Ukranian Prosecutor Fired

Then we can investigate why Biden had the prosecutor fired, why Biden (in his own words) fought for the $1B in loan guarantees that he held hostage to ensure that the prosecutor was fired, and let's also find out exactly what services crackhead Hunter provided to justify the $85K a month the Ukrainian oligarchs paid him.

Let's hang up all the laundry and see exactly whose underwear is shit-stained.

now that it has come out whistleblower has no firsthand knowledge, it looks like someone took the planted leak bait and it blew up in their face and they are covered with schiff.

I said that from the start. Not only will nothing come of this for the Dems, but it will force people to learn about Biden’s son and all his corruption. It’s quite brilliant!

I’m convinced President Trump doesn’t want a lot of these things released because they will confirm that he’s actually very professional, measured, responsible and diplomatic on these calls ... and that’s the LAST thing many of his supporters want to hear. They think he acts like a zany pro wrestling promoter on these calls with foreign leaders.

I think the whistleblower was a Democrat trying to warn everyone that Biden is going down after the Ukrainians told Trump everything.
