6 Key Points From Trump’s Call to Ukraine’s President
The Daily Signal ^ | September 25, 2019 | Fred Lucas

Posted on 09/25/2019 3:51:26 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

A transcript of the July 25 phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shows the two leaders did talk during their brief conversation about an investigation involving Joe Biden and his son.

Neither man, however, mentioned military aid to Ukraine that might hang in the balance.

The White House released the complete official transcript less than a day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced an official impeachment inquiry, based largely on the suspicion that Trump had threatened to withhold military assistance from Ukraine unless it looked into the dropping of an investigation of the then-vice president’s son, Hunter Biden.

Trump acknowledged Sunday that the two leaders spoke about the Biden case.

The younger Biden sat on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company for several years, reportedly making $50,000 a month. The elder Biden, vice president under President Barack Obama from January 2009 until January 2017, boasted on camera that he was responsible for the firing of the state prosecutor investigating the company.

Both leaders referred to “Biden” in the call, but didn’t use the first names Joe or Hunter.

Beyond fodder, or lack thereof, for House Democrats’ impeachment effort against Trump, the transcript also reveals the two leaders’ unflattering comments on Germany, the European Union, and Russia.

Here are six highlights from the call two months ago, according to the transcript released by the White House. (Punctuation is as it is in the five-page transcript.)

1. Zelenskyy First Broached Biden Probe

Ukraine’s new president didn’t mention Biden’s name, but was first to bring up that an aide spoke with one of Trump’s personal lawyers, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Warren went from way behind Biden to leading candidate because of Biden’s son’s deal revelation to the Democratic masses, who feel as we do about power profiteering.

Warren owes Trump a thank you.

The complete transcript completely exonerates Trump. Nothing untoward in there. But of course the media, Schitt and Nadless will still lie about what it says.

Shame on all of the media blowhards for not putting the link to the transcript out there for all to see. It’s the best evidence that President Trump did nothing wrong.

Thanks to One America News Network for the link to the transcript.

And boy, are they lying. Mass circle jerk on the network evening news. Second coming of Watergate and all that. More "we've got him this time!" stuff.

Corruption is widespread in Ukrainian society.[1][2] Transparency International’s 2018 Corruption Perception Index ranks the country 120th place out of 180 countries.[3]

Ernst & Young (in 2012) put Ukraine among the three most corrupt nations of the world together with Colombia and Brazil.[4] In 2015, The Guardian called Ukraine “the most corrupt nation in Europe”.[5] According to a poll conducted by Ernst & Young in 2017, experts considered Ukraine to be the ninth most corrupt nation in the world.[6]

United States diplomats have described Ukraine under Presidents Kuchma and Yushchenko as a kleptocracy, according to WikiLeaks cables.[7]

"The complete transcript completely exonerates Trump."

The media repeatedly pushed the claim that President Trump "relentlessly pushed" the Ukraine President to investigate Hunter Biden. They've caught lying once again, but we know they will never apologize for those lies.

btw Daily Signal left the Crowdstrike/Mueller stuff til last. it should be first because it comes up before Biden is even mentioned.

“I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike,” Trump said. “I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it.”

Maybe they put it towards the end for impact. It remains the lasting impression.

The most significant point in all of this are Biden’s comments.

https://youtu.be/w6QgPrE1_Eg

During a Council on Foreign Relations discussion on January 23, 2018 Biden said if a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating a company where his son worked was not fired, the U.S. would withhold $1 billion in U.S. funding for Ukraine.

The transcript totally exonerates Trump but it is also a total killer for Uke President.
Exposed him as a complete double-dealing jerk.
