White House releases transcript of Trump call to Ukraine
By Morgan Chalfant and Brett Samuels - 09/25/19 10:03 AM EDT

The Trump administration on Wednesday released a five-page transcript of President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The call has been subject to massive attention in recent days as a result of reports Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate allegations against 2020 Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry on Tuesday against Trump.

DEVELOPING.

I wonder how long we will have to wait before the talking heads tell us what was in the call and what Trump really meant  and that they have got him now!

I'm biased but I really, really don't see any red flags here:

Trump then says, "There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, what 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,” Trump said on the call, according to the transcript.

Zelenskiy replies that he’s appointing a new prosecutor who will “look into the situation.”

This alone doesn't sound bad, chief executive has the right to know stuff, from here, it's a bit on how you spin it.

We deserve to know about corruption and Ukraine certainly has their share.

I hope this bounces off of trump and sticks to you know who...

Trump broke the democrats brains, seriously. And now he just reached in and tore out their shriveled hearts and showed it to America and the world.

Priceless.

Reading through it, I've kind of liked this Zelensky fellow as an individual, whether he's leadership quality, I don't know. The people over there were sick of corruption. He didn't represent it being a former TV star of a situation comedy.
