quote:

This is over a phone call that is a good call,” Trump said of the inquiry in an interview with the Washington Examiner. "At some point, I’m going to sit down, perhaps as a fireside chat on live television, and I will read the transcript of the call, because people have to hear it. When you read it, it’s a straight call.”


How many heads would this cause to explode?

quote:

I've got stenographers and all these other people on the line,” he said. “I am going to make a statement that is illegal or bad? Who would do a thing like that?”
Trump later insisted that he withheld aid to Ukraine out of concern for corruption in the country, not to pressure them to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.


The President doesn't seem like a man worried about impeachment. Does he know something we don't know?

Can’t wait until Pelosi and Schiff for brains start screaming about the transcript being a phony, then Trump walks out the other people in the room who had tried to correct the transcript.

Honestly, the amount of similarities to FDR are starting to add up. I do not mean that in a negative light. Both did/will have huge implications to this country morsel than other presidents

Those of us that aren't blithering idiots know exactly what the President knows. There's simply nothing there.

Will he do a straight reading of it, or perhaps a dramatic reading, sort of like the goofy libs did with the Mueller report?

He could read his lines and have say... Clint Eastwood or Jon Voight read the lines of Zelenskyy

I like te idea but not a single network would air it except for Fox News.

He needs to read it during the State of the Union in January and conclude with, "now let's get to doing some actual work."

He ought to buy tv time so all stations carry it and he ought to first read the transcript of the fake call that Shift read into the Congressional record before the original transcript was released

Come election time? Conservatives at the likely outcome of this.

You want to give the media an audio clip of Trump asking Ukraine for a favor?

Sure, its perfectly legal. But do you think the MSM and political commercials will paint it that way? Nah, they'll paint it as a Godfather type conversation.

0% chance Trump reads this out loud. The average voter isn't intelligent enough to understand that this happens all the time.

He ought to do a Mr. Rogers parody while he reads the transcript.

CNN has a piece proclaiming how terrible an idea this would be because "the transcript's pretty damn close to a smoking gun". Just a tad counterintuitive to their hogslopping anything and everything that could damage Trump. "It's a terrible idea, Trump, it's too close to a smoking gun!!" I just wonder what this is all about??

"We are giving them money, we are giving them weapons,” he said. “We have an obligation to look at corruption."

It really is easy to understand for rational people.

Trumps keeps repeating TRANSCRIPT because his advisors want him to claim that the transcript is the ONLY thing to consider, when we all know it’s just one piece that is being considered. Trying to put the pressure on....

Here is the crux of it to me: it's both.

Pressuring a country to investigate corruption is a legitimate action by the US government. That it also benefits Trump politically is maybe "icky" but that's about it.

Almost identical in my mind is how Clinton would order a missile strike on a terrorist training base every time he needed a bump in the polls or a to change the headlines from some scandal that just broke.

Yeah, it was clearly for his own political gain, but it was also a legitimate action to blow up terrorists.

It's the kind of thing people should give feedback on through an election not through the exercise of a partisan use of the constitution's impeachment power.

Maybe he should smash it to pieces with a hammer, or use bleach bit.

Maybe then the Left will respect him.

Well you're not wrong. The other general category is the lineup of testimony from an assortment of folks as to their feelings and emotions upon either listening in on the call, or upon hearing from others about the call.

He would do better to just play the recording of the call.
It would be extremely surprising if one didn't exist.

I am quite sure it does, but will it really make a difference to the ignorant left?

Remember, these people destroyed cities over false narratives.

You also have Filth posters who grace this site often to tell us what we see, hear, and read from their pols isn't real.

We have seen lefties here straight up ignore video often to continue with the lies.
