Rudy Giuliani is saying on Fox News that he has had the Ukraine transcript read to him.
I'd be interested in knowing what rationale could possibly exist for a person who does not work for the government getting access to the transcript before Congress. Particularly since the LAW says the NDI is to turn it over to the Congress within seven days. Not the White House, not the DOJ. This whole administration is corrupt. |
Well, duh. Because Trump. There is nothing positive about him. He bathes in sewer water every day, he's going to stink. |
Everyone please read the Washington Post's latest revelations from last night: it describes in fascinating detail how official channels, including Bolton and the US ambassador to Ukraine, were sidelined without explanation to allow Giuliani's backchannel to try to dig up dirt on the Bidens and the people involved with Manafort; how some aides tried to avoid having Trump talk to the Ukrainian president directly because they worried he would incriminate himself; and how Trump finally made that call a day after the Mueller testimony.

+1 Most corrupt administration ever. |
This is always the narrative - “they changed things!” You were caught with your shorts down. You didn’t expect a release. You didn’t expect to see that Dems had contacted Ukraine to ask them to investigate Trump. You also didn’t expect the lawyers of the whistleblower to be exposed, nor did you expect the information to be second (or third) hand, so had to shift THAT narrative to “it’s broader than one call. It’s a behavior”. This is more of the same. |
It is truly astounding that people are defending Trump eventhough both he and Rudy have admitted to the crimes already.
I guess we are moving to the "I did it, so what" phase? |
The goal is to get a viral message out, not to actually back it up. |
No, it is that the transcript of a single call is not what the whistleblower complaint is based on. It is one piece. So having a transcript of a call - particularly a month after it was to have been turned over to the Congress and never should have been in the White House possession in the first place - is almost meaningless. It is okay because both the Whistleblower and the IG who referred the case to the DNI know what is in it, and they will both be compelled to testify. If it is discovered that the White House manipulated anything, it will be revealed. |
The best part about this is that they can hold hearings for months and months. |
And, get nothing else done. Win-win, right? |
It also won’t actually be a transcript - just notes on the call. From the White House that lies about the weather. |
The House is doing plenty. Take your complaints to the Senate. |
As I said, when the Whistleblower story gets destroyed, it’s about ‘the whole picture, because I hate Trump’ |
LOL. Anything the House has done is for show only. Like this latest move by Pelosi. None of the "legislation" they have passed has a chance in hell of being signed into law. They know it. They are doing it for show. And, the American people are paying attention. |
No, the rats are fleeing the ship. This is going to be bigger than just this one whistleblower. It’s too late baby now, it’s too late. |
