Let’s be honest: except for hardcore Democrats who despise Trump and cannot get over the 2016 election, along with the #NeverTrumpers, who say they are still right leaning, but are just as unhinged as the Democrats, most people find the “transcript” to be a big nothingburger. Politics as usual. Move along, nothing to see here. But, the unhinged moonbats figured out a talking point, highlighted here by the NY Times
Trump Pressed Ukraine’s President to Investigate Democrats as ‘a Favor’
President Trump repeatedly pressured Ukraine’s leader to investigate leading Democrats as “a favor†to him during a telephone call last summer in which the two discussed the former Soviet republic’s need for more American financial aid to counter Russian aggression.
In a reconstruction of the call released Wednesday by the White House, Mr. Trump urged President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with Attorney General William P. Barr and Rudolph W. Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, on corruption investigations connected to former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and other Democrats.
Although there was no explicit quid pro quo in the conversation, Mr. Trump raised the matter immediately after Mr. Zelensky spoke of his country’s need for more help from the United States. The call came only days after Mr. Trump blocked $391 million in aid to Ukraine, a decision that perplexed national security officials at the time and that he has given conflicting explanations for in recent days.
The aid freeze did not come up during the call, and Mr. Zelensky was not yet aware of it. Instead, he thanked Mr. Trump for previous American aid, including Javelin anti-tank weapons, and suggested he would need more as part of Ukraine’s five-year-old war with Russian-backed separatists in the country’s east.
“I would like you to do us a favor, though,†Mr. Trump responded, shifting to his interest in investigating Democrats and urging that he work with Mr. Barr and Mr. Giuliani.
“Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible,†Mr. Trump said.
That is playing fast and loose with the transcript (which, as you know, is not really a transcript, but a reconstruction by people who heard the call, since they are not recorded). Heck, you can read the transcript. The Times gives a link, and here it is elsewhere.
 The· President: I would like you to do us a favor though
because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a
lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with
this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess
you have one of your weal thy people… The server, they say
Ukraine has.it. There- are a lot. of things that went on, the·
:whole situation .. I think you 1 re _surrounding yourself with some
of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General
call you or your people and I would like you to ·get to the
bottom of it. As you say yesterday, that whole nonsense ended
with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an
incompetent performance, _but they say a lot of it started with
Ukraine. Whatever you can do, ·it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.
The favor part came during a discussion of Crowdstrike
It is unclear what Trump wanted the Ukrainian president to do regarding the Silicon Valley company, but it has played a role in American politics in recent years. CrowdStrike was hired by the Democratic National Committee in 2016 to investigate how hackers, which it later identified as Russian groups, breached a DNC network and then released stolen emails from the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to Wikileaks, just months before the U.S. general election.
According to cybersecurity analyst Andrew Nowinski, Trump is mentioning the company due to rumors that Hilary Clinton’s e-mail server had been mishandled during CrowdStrike’s investigation, and the server is now apparently in Ukraine. Washington Post also reported that Trump has questioned the cybersecurity firm’s role in the DNC investigation by asking on national cable news why the DNC hired CrowdStrike instead of going to the FBI first.
The thing about Biden came up later, and people have been talking about what exactly was going on there. Now, if true, there is real corruption and abuse of office there. You sure you want to continue down this road, Dems and #NeverTrumpers? You sure you want those worms coming out of the dirt? You sure you want people to be going “what did Crowdstrike do? Is that server in Ukraine? What did Joe Biden do for his son regarding Ukraine? Oh, and there’s a China thing?” Internet searches for these things are skyrocketing, which you can tell by the way autocomplete wants to complete certain searches.
Do Democrats want to attempt to defend Biden when more information comes out later, especially after attempting to attack Trump and defend Biden now?
Anyhow, the totally unbiased media has their Narrative, and is just clowning themselves and showing why they are fake news.
