Well, its funny that when I read the transcript i don't see Biden's name brought up 7 or 8 times, I don't see Trump asking for dirt either 7 or 8 times. The favor had to do with the Crowd strike thing... the servers.. and Trump was asking him to find the truth, not to make something up .. AS PRESENTED TO US BY SCHIFF ! Sorry but we all know the Democrats have been trying to impeach Trump for the last 3 years.... then supprise supprise a secret CIA operative comes by with faulty 2nd hand info. I just cant believe you don't see the corruption here. I don't have to like President Trump one bit to see that these actions are bordering on criminal ...if not criminal.
Trump brought up Biden and his son 3 times. He mentioned Crowdstrike only once.
Maybe I missed something, i thought there were only two sentences... and Zelenski did most of the talking about Biden , not Trump. There was no Quid Pro Quo
Further more Trump simply said "whatever you can do would be great" .... Whatever you can do??? that could be anything... I hardly call that pressure, Which is why Schiff had to do his editorializing... to make things appear much much worse. If he simply read the transcript straight he would have gotten no reaction.
Apparently you missed a LOT of somethings. Zelenski did NO talking about Biden, that was all Trump.
What about today on the lawn. I suppose he didn't ask China to investigate the Bidens.
The President has the duty to root out corruption that negatively affects We The People.
Why is the only corruption that the President is specifically calling out is that which involves his political opponents - the Bidens and the Clintons?
Why does the President have his Attorney General flying around the world investigating the American intelligence and law enforcement agencies, all of whom are lead by Republicans appointed by Donald Trump?
Why is the State Department harassing staff over Hillary Clinton's emails?
Why is the Trump blaming Democrats for his impeachment when the Inspector General who Trump appointed, and the Acting Director of the NSA, who is also a Trump appointee, examined and deemed the Whistleblower's report both "credible" and "urgent"? Trump has admitted to the veracity of the transcript, and has tried to spin the whole mess.
Speaking of Trump's spin, at first he tried to portray as "no big deal", this "favour" he asked for. When that story didn't work, it was "The Biden's are corrupt". When that story didn't work, he trotted out "I just want to root out corruption", while ignoring all of the other corruption in the world, and focusing like a laser on corruption committed by the Bidens.
None of this is working. Americans know that Trump lies, and they're not buying it this time. But I do hope that Pompeo, Guliani, Barr and Trump all end up in jail over this - and anyone else who is involved in burying that transcript.
