(21,932 posts)The Ukraine call could be dangled by the Administration as a "limited hangout", an intelligence strategy for derailing an investigation by "being caught" for one crime to cover-up the greater offense.
Congress needs to see the whistleblower report. The phone transcript may be a diversion.

(42,770 posts)The Russian and Ukrainian side. Supposedly trump pressured Ukraine 8 times? And Russia probably didn't want them to get US aid. So they may have been discouraging them to not invent dirt on Biden.

(2,061 posts)They are hiding the complaint and creating a public defense for it. Beyond corrupt. Pretty powerful position. The potentially guilty party is hiding the evidence all while publicly mounting a defense. Lets go Congress.

(42,770 posts)Heard him, but he is thinking "phew" no transcript? So his plan is to smear the hell out of him. With Barr in charge, we know one thing...trump already knows everything there is to know about this whole episode.
