ABC News added a major correction to a would-be bombshell report Wednesday that said the Trump administration required Ukraine’s president to discuss Joe Biden as a precondition to meet with President Donald Trump.
The story would have been a huge development in the saga involving a whistleblower who filed a complaint regarding a July 25 phone call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader. The whistleblower asserted in the complaint that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate Biden’s son’s Ukrainian business dealings.
A transcript of that phone call shows Trump brought up concerns about the Bidens, but Trump denied pressuring Zelensky on the matter.
If true, the ABC story would have called that denial into question, and given Democrats more ammunition for their push to impeach Trump.
But the story has several problems.

Nah they didnt bungle it, they did it on purpose..this is what the commie media does, they make up a LIE so that people will believe it, than the next day they say “Oh our bad we made a boo boo” but by then no one heard it and they are still parroting the same lie
Or someone threatened him in the meantime.
Ukrainians are ruthless.
Bungles= LIES
Trump did nothing wrong. So, the media have to lie about it to try to get him.
This CIA Analyst has got to be one dumb SOB, or they were paid very well to take a fall, to file a complaint over something you, yourself never even witnessed, but just heard second, and even third-hand. He claimed he heard all of these allegations from other people, so why didn't those same people file their own complaints instead of using a lap dog to do their dirty work? It's got the fingerprints of the Democrats all over it, and possibly even members of the media, because the report reads like something a fake news journalist would write.
They never thought Trump would declassify the phone call readout and the complaint. They wanted Trump to hold on to executive privilege and set their own narrative.
He burned their coverup narrative when he just handed it over on his own.
ABC can always go back to blowing up chevy trucks and blaming GM for being unsafe.
hoe in the heck did this whistleblower tap into the phone call
“hoe in the heck did this whistleblower tap into the phone call”
they didn’t ... all the “whistleblowers” information was second and third hand and from media reports ... in other words, the so-called “whistleblower” is a deep state leaker from the inside of the white house trying to bring down the Presidency ... actually, if you read the document itself, you realize it was actually compiled by a GROUP of conspirators, not just a single person ...
Yep.....
Since when does a whistleblower use hearsay evidence?
Since when do tattletales pass on classified information?
Should not the person who leaked the classified transcript have filed a whistleblower report, instead of giving it to a tattletale?
We have know the media is biased for a long time. But think about it, just 15 years ago, the media still couldn’t make up 100% fake news. Dan rather went down, in 2004.
Issue a story claiming a bombshell that is covered everywhere, then quietly issue a retraction that is ignored. Anyone notice a pattern?
Yep - the Fake News goes on the “Primacy” concept of imparting information/misinformation...what people hear first tends to stick with them so the lies have to precede any truths/rebuttals.
IG needs to interview the whistleblower and find out from whom the information was obtained so that they can investigate the alleged wrongdoing by getting to evidence that something wrong was done.
