Trump says there should be pressure on Pence to release his Ukraine calls
 By ABBEY MARSHALL     09/25/2019.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that there should be pressure on Mike Pence to also release details of his conversations with Ukraine, seemingly drawing his vice president into the scandal that has engulfed the Trump administration.

"I think you should ask for VP Pence's conversation because he had a couple of conversations also," Trump told reporters during a news conference on the sidelines of the United Nations summit. "I could save you a lot of time. They were all perfect. Nothing was mentioned of any import other than congratulations."

Trump also said he could be convinced to release more information about an earlier conversation he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, while again stating he did nothing inappropriate in his contacts with the foreign leader.

So, this just happened and I don't think anyone posted this.  From the press conference?

Well, it doesn't seem that any other news source is reporting this.  If this is indeed true, it really surprises me.  If they manage to take out Trump and Pence that means Madame President Pelosi.

??? What does that have to with anything?  He's perhaps more vulnerable than Trump because there is no way that he could take the heat of an investigation.  I think he'd step down.

I take this to be Trump pouring and grinding salt into the CT-ist MSM's wounds from this morning's release. He's basically saying, "You more womp-womp? VP Pence can give you more!"
