    1. Jeremy Backup Obama is so racist he kept black people on prison, Obama was so racist and kept black unemployment high

    1. Deja Vu 💋💋💋I know. He just had another win. Biden is out and the SQUAD just took over the party. You got played. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  1. Somehow this guy has to have some sort conman intelligence! Trying to change the narrative from unlawful action by asking a foreign leader to investigate an opponent to NO PRESSURE. Wow! His supporters will accept anything…smoking mirror again!

    1. @Errold Jean And behold, Obama did spy on the trump campaign, and how many of the people you listed are literally under criminal investigation right now or have been fired from the govt? Lol

    2. @DivineHeresy you can’t reason with these NPC dumbasses they listen to fake news they believe fake news because they hate President Trump

    3. @DivineHeresy Now I know why there is such an illiterate crowd who believes in stuff that doesn’t make sense. Plain words: how many have been convicted or on trial? Share with us the facts/Not the ones for Zombies on FOX news. Also, the only one who is actually under investigation is McCabe and guess what: the judiciary system is not rigged by Trump.

  2. It is necessary to demand an unedited audio recording of the conversation between trump and Zelensky,as well as all unedited conversations of trump’s representatives with the Ukrainian side.This is not a transcript of the conversation between the two presidents, but only a written record made by people present at the conversation, so” a number of factors ” (poor communication, concentration, or misinterpretation) can affect accuracy.

    1. Agreed!!! This is why he chose to put it out there so fast! Only his alligator brain and supporters are saying that there wasn’t anything wrong. Reality check…there is plenty! Let’s hear the audio and let’s get the whistleblower’s complaint on the table!

    2. Audio brought Nixon down, which is why no president since then has allowed it. We need to make this a law.

      Transcripts aren’t word for accounts but summaries of what happened, emotions and tone are not captured.

    3. Kind of like the whistleblower who didn’t actually hear the conversation but heard it from someone else? Like that?

    1. @Timothy Collins so let’s recap, you want trump impeached for what Biden is guilty of and already admitted in front of the CFR…

  3. He releaes a third person narrative of the call, instead of a verbatim document, and expects all of us to take it as truth? Only his supporters are dumb enough to think that a transcript account of the call is proof that nothing illegal happened during the phone call.

    1. He’s said previously that “no-one takes takes notes”, accused Comey etc. of faking their notes from meetings…

      Yet we’re supposed to believe HIS version from a WH staffers notes???

    1. @Tough titty P Diddy Because let me inform you of something, if you are selling weapons of war like Fully semi automatic 50 caliber AR47’s with high capacity magazine clips to Drug cartels, there is only one word to describe that, CRIME. And yes by all means there should be an investigation into that sort of activity.

    2. @biff binford you’re not answering my question. Is not money laundering a crime? Yes? Then why didn’t they investigate Obama and Biden for that while they were in office? We arent here to discuss “fast and the furious”, we’re discussing your accusation that Biden was involved in money laundering. Enough of the whataboutism just answer the question

    3. Greg – Not a illegal to ask a country to investigate criminal wrongdoing. Everybody knows Biden is a crook that fondles children. The investigation might include children he fondled in Ukraine along with the millions he embezzled.

    1. Anderson Santos its called brainwashing in this context. Brainwashing and gaslighting. This is psychological terrorism.

    2. @Meta View – But *who’s* surprised that #45 does this?
      #45’s *cheated and lied to* his partners, both in business *and* marriage, for decades.
      He even *cheats* at golf, the ‘gentlemans game’. ⛳
      #45 – *So* embarrassing for America… 😒

  4. There were 8 calls not just one… THIS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A LIAR, CONMAN AND A CROOK! THIS whole interview is a lie- HE HAS TAINTED ALL FIGURES and we know he has- TAKE A DEEPER look at our economy- ALL lies on Trump’s part- We are not doing well- WORKING at the lowest wages since the 70’s and hardly any benefits. HE is the biggest LIAR and has already clocked 13 thousand lies since he took office. HE HAS ABUSED THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY AND FOR THIS HE MUST GO.

    1. I voted for Obama in 08. If the election were tomorrow I would vote for Trump . All the bad things that Democrats warned would happen under Trump never did happen. He’s doing ok for a person without any political experience. Its refreshing to finally have a president who didn’t go to law school. How many Democrat candidates didnt pass the bar exam ?

  5. If it’s not pressure then what?– We do a lot for Ukraine
    – There’s not much reciprocity.
    – I want to ask you a favor.
    – Investigate my opponent.
    – My people will be in touch.
    It’s a good country.
    It would be a shame if something happened to her.

    1. Am I reading this wrong?
      -No evidence of quid pro quo at all, anywhere.
      -It’s now illegal to mention anyone in politics even if they did some illegal sht because it can be construed as campaigning violations?

      So by theory, it would be illegal to contact FusionGPS to get fake dirt on Trump right?

    1. Mr. Rockito – #45’s *now* around the *same age* as his father Fred was, when *his own* Alzheimer’s disease symptoms became apparent.
      Just sayin’… 🤔

    1. @Logan McLean sir I beg to differ you have a liar in the White House a sexual predator in the White House and a traitor in the White House. I ask you who are the people who are looking at the world through rose colored lens. Fake news? You and your ilk are traitors.

  6. This ” edited ” version is still enough to remove him. Coercion & extortion against an opponent with a foreign leader , is illegal. Fact.
