More on what a great idea this latest attempt was
Trump additionally demanded "transparency from Democrats who went to Ukraine and attempted to force the new president ... to do things that they wanted under the form of political threat. They threatened him if he didn't do things -- now that's what they're accusing me of, but I didn't do it."
The aggressive move signaled that the White House would seek to turn the tables against Democrats who have initiated an impeachment inquiry, following the whistleblower's complaint that Trump had improperly pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden. Zelensky, speaking across from Trump just an hour earlier, told reporters he did not feel "pushed" at all in his conversations with the president.
Earlier in the day, the White House released a transcript of Trump's July call with Zelensky, showing Trump sought a review of Biden family dealings in the country. But the transcript also did not demonstrate that Trump leveraged military aid to Ukraine to obtain a "promise" on a Biden investigation, as a widely cited report in The Washington Post had claimed.
At the press conference, Trump specifically called attention to a little-discussed CNN report from May, which described how Democratic Sens. Robert Menendez, Dick Durbin, and Patrick Leahy pushed Ukraine’s top prosecutor not to close four investigations perceived as critical to then-Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe -- and, by Democrats' current logic, seemingly implied that their support for U.S. aid to Ukraine was at stake.
"The Democrats have done what they're accusing me of doing," Trump said.

I think from here on out we can just correctly assume that any crime the dotardcrats accuse Trump of, or try to get him removed from office because of, is something they themselves are guilty of.

Why don't we declassify the complaint and see what is says?I do not support impeachment of President Trump. I have just read the whistleblower complaint made available to House Intelligence Committee Members. I believe strongly in transparency and it should be immediately declassified and made public for the American people to read.

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said Wednesday that a whistleblower complaint concerning a call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky contained “lots that’s very troubling,” warning his GOP colleagues not to dismiss it.
“Republicans ought not to be rushing to circle the wagons to say there’s no there there when there’s obviously lots that’s very troubling here,” Sasse said after reviewing the complaint, according to an NBC News reporter. “The administration ought not be attacking the whistleblower as some talking points suggest they plan to do.”
However, Sasse also castigated the media and House Democrats who have announced an impeachment inquiry based on the whistleblower complaint, saying “Democrats ought not to be using the word impeach before they have the whistleblower complaint or before they read any of the transcript.”

The memo released today summarizing the call was far worse then I could have imagined. Let's hope the complaint gets declassified and released in it's entirety so we can all see what according to Sasse is so very troubling.SFGbob said:

President threaten to withhold $$$ unless they agreed to investigate Biden. Mentioned 8 times Biden and the need to investigate him and his son. Quid pro quo was clear and obvious. All of that was what we were told was in the transcript that Trump was stonewalling and hiding from the Rats.

No link? Probably because I didn't predict the memo summarizing the call contained that. But that post is certainly still true. We know Trump was witholding military aid.

Yeah, it's not in the transcript. It's in the complaint that's based upon the conversation that was in the transcript. Totally different.
Look for Scotty to either run and hide like a Kunt after the release of the Complaint or he'll go the O'Keefed route and just declare the treason is clear and obvious to anyone who isn't unpatriotic. -

Great bump. Now that the house intelligence committee has seen the complaint too is it ok for the impeachment you want to proceed? Shouldn’t take too long for hearings and a vote. The speaker trump doesn’t acknowledge says she can wrap it up before the end of the year. Work for you?RaceBannon said:

We've read the transcript
And yes thanks to Trump I barely know what day it is because I'm so busy making money
My bad but point stands
You parsed the quote to make it appear it was after he read it
