The Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky phone call read out.

Have you read this?

The President of the United States asked a foreign leader to start investigations into his political rival, told the foreign leader to rope the United States Attorney General into that political investigation, and he wrote it down right there.

HIGHLIGHTS

President Zelensky: We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps. specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
President Trump: 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 do us a favor though?
A favor though…
DAMN

President Trump: 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 wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation .. I think you are 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.

No.

Boo.

Well we gonna impeach the President now,
(gonna impeach the President now)
We gonna impeach the President now,

Something for the Republicans to worry about.

I want to see the full whistle blower complaint.

These are just the notes that Trump thinks will help him.

DAMN

President Trump: Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor bf New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what’s happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me.

Put the Ukrainian thing to the side,
Senator Harris pulled Barr aside,
Asked if Trump ordered investigations far and wide,
It would appear William Barr LIED.

Well we gonna impeach the President now,
(gonna impeach the President now)
We gonna impeach the President now,
