    Trump ordered hold on military aid days before call with Ukrainian president, senior administration official says

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/23/politics/trump-ukraine-military-aid-call/index.html

    It's all a liberal lie perpetrated by the blacks and the gays hur dur hur.

    Really, though. That's how conservatives are going to respond here. They never learn. First there was a leak about a whistleblower report. They called it fake news. Within a few days it was not only confirmed that the whistleblower report is real, but the President himself admits to having a phone call in which he pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate Biden. Now conservatives have shifted their story to "so what"? So the real question is whether conservatives still start off by calling this latest revelation fake news or whether they'll immediately fall back on "so what?" Because they must be tired by now of getting proven wrong every time they squeal "fake news!"

    Trump said he hopes the transcript comes out, which confirms it NEVER will. Just like his taxes or the rest of the Page warrant.

    The transcript is just the center of this.
    We need the report.
    But I guess the leaks are maybe more fun.
    Let's see what Rudy 911 has for us tomorrow.

    So it’s no longer RUSSIA!, it now UKRAINE.

    Isn’t it odd that as Biden becomes more and more exposed for being corrupt that the left finds new countries to say Trump colluded with?

    Give it up, you leftists blindly followed corrupt politicians, believed every word they said, all as they replaced you with illegals and refugees.

    Way to not remotely address any of the facts. Are you trying to get Rudy’s job?

    Give it up already. You guys remind me of Charlie Brown trying to kick a football not realizing that Trump is playing the part of Lucy and you end up flat on your ass.

    I guess we need the transcript to see how many cases of “corruption” trump asked about. If the over/under is 2, take the under.

    Trump bum kissers are wee-weeing their frillies, but the release of the whistleblower complaint and telephone transcript should go a long way toward clearing things up.

    Meanwhile, the cry baby's lashing out in his typical petty sniveling is repugnant to decent Americans.
    Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano:

    "The president should not be diverting attention from the most serious allegation made against him, far more serious than anything ... Bob Mueller did, which is an act of political corruption in the ... formulation of foreign policy,"

    This is 100% in character for Trump. Normally he’d have a Cohen do this kind of thing for him, but I guess as president it’s harder than just trying to intimidate a contractor, a porn star, his college etc etc
    This fits perfectly with everything we’ve known about trump for decades.

    If the accusation is that an American engaged in corruption in a foreign country, that could be investigated at home.

    But there’s no investigation by the DOJ.

    This was a purely political effort by Trump.

    Joe Biden threatened to withhold a billion dollars in aid to the Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor investigating his son.

    Why are you all not concerned about that?

    Can you show that the prosecutor was investigating Biden's son at that time? Or - actually - ever?

    Why do you guys just make crap up?
