Then about a month ago, Trump has a phone call with the new Ukrainian President, and in that conversation, it's becoming understood that he explains he knows they quashed the investigation into Biden's son because Biden extorted them, and now he believes it's in their best interest to reinstate that investigation if they want to continue receiving our monetary aid and continue an ongoing favorable relationship with the US.




We don't know that he threatened to cut aid. He may have but there is no basis to even make that claim.

even if he did it is within his rights as POTUS to do so.

It’s the entire f*cking point of foreign aid, getting other countries to do what we want. We don’t send it to be nice and it sure isn’t because we have too much of it here.

This whole story has been so monumentally stupid from the word “go.”

And now you can add:

9. The whistleblower is now denying direct knowledge of the conversation. And, therefore should not be protected under whistleblower status.

Let's see where this goes, now that it is a 100% nothingburger.

I would literally have killed myself by now if I were afflicted with TDS. I don't know how all these liberals can tolerate all the letdowns and losing.

How truly squeaky clean must Trump be?... that they can't even make something up that will stick to him? It'll just be another big bombshell and another epic fail next week.

Throw the guy and jail and let him rot. You can't claim whistle blower status when the guy (Trump) you are implicating didn't come close to breaking any laws.

That’s what has surprised me in all this. Give me a random member of Congress and let me crawl up their arse for two years with an unlimited budget and I could find something 99 out of 100 times. I figured with all his business dealings they’d uncover something with some teeth. They whiffed.

The left has said over and over they will fight this President by “any means necessary”.

We shouldn’t be surprised when they do.

I know. Crazy to expect the us to actually get something in return for our money.

Actually according to the latest unnamed source, the Fake News MSM is reporting NO quid pro quo!

I don’t think so. Uncle Joe keeps publicly embarrassing himself and is too moderate for the new bunch of crazies taking over the Democratic Party. If they can manufacture another shitstorm of bad media publicity about The Donald and the only collateral damage for them is a fork gets stuck in Biden, they are ok with that.
