When Ukrainians voted to elect comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy as their next president in the spring of 2019, the fledgling administration was eager to coordinate a phone call with Kyiv’s most important benefactor -- the United States, according to an adviser to Zelenskiy.

But after weeks of discussions with American officials, Ukrainian officials came to recognize a precondition to any executive correspondence, the adviser said.

"It was clear that [President Donald] Trump will only have communications if they will discuss the Biden case," said Serhiy Leshchenko, an anti-corruption advocate and former member of Ukraine's Parliament, who now acts as an adviser to Zelenskiy. "This issue was raised many times. I know that Ukrainian officials understood."

And, of course, this is fake news.
Lead reporter on that piece (Greg Miller) was also lead reporter on story that Trump made a "promise" in the Zelensky call, which also is not true.
Maybe if he keeps trying, he might get something right.


ADNI MAGUIRE STATEMENT:

“At no time have I considered resigning my position since assuming this role on Aug. 16, 2019. I have never quit anything in my life, and I am not going to start now.
I am committed to leading the Intelligence Community to address the diverse and complex threats facing our nation.”

You are basing this on a summary of a call that lasted 30 minutes, but the released materials show about 10 minutes of content with a lot of elipses.

From what I have seen, there are 3 elipses.
And, from what I have heard, the IC uses elipses when they are unable to discern what was said.

Then why is the transcript about 1/3 as long as the call?

*crickets*

All the usual lies. Sickening. Unfortunately, it looks like the regular networks decided to give him a platform to bloviate. And those are some major snuffles.

NBC gave up and switched away from him. Because he wasn't being truthful.

Sorry, that was MSNBC, not NBC.
