I seriously expected a normal-ish phone call where he makes a casual reference to the Biden thing, not an actual request.

Not him doing exactly what he was accused of

As you referring to US attorneys may be acting as Trump's personal attorneys in state court and opposing a county DA?

Precisely that. Apparently no govt entity is allowed to bring charges to the POTUS.

*edit bring charges and/or investigate

A person claimed the document was made on a computer, not scanned in because you can highlight the text.

Everyone probably told that guy about OCR, where your PDF software automatically finds text, even on scanned documents.

Not in the least considering Rudy is doing crimes rather than providing legal advice and he’s talking about the crimes on the television

As a bonus imagine getting rid of a prosecutor from a preceding administration that is nationally known as a deranged alcoholic and then have US President calling him an extremely good and reliable guy, just call Rudy bada bing bada boom.

WaPo's headline says "Rough transcript shows Trump offered U.S. help with Biden inquiry"

I like "Rough Transcript" as a descriptor, and everything else is true. A Good Headline.

Yeah it's a shame that the general public wouldn't really know what a "readout" is, but given that, this is a pretty ok headline from a terrible paper

In case anyone was wondering, the current FoxNews.com page headline is "Ukraine call shows Trump pressed for Biden probe, asked about DNC server but no talk of military aid"

They're really, really digging themselves a hole if we managed to get the text of another call where he DOES offer a swap.

No, "the server is in Ukraine" is not a wildly held belief, what is wrong with you

And I don't even understand what he thinks is happening with the DNC server - there's no impropriety even rumored about that. It was hacked, and a hacker has all the e-mails.

This is like hearing about a bank robbery, and then trying to solve the case by asking where the bank vault is, and thinking it means the bank committed a crime. The President Is Insane.

Trump nuts, so what?

FYI it reads like Trump sort of threatened the former ambassador to Ukraine. She was removed back in May but obviously a million things happen a day, so.

Zelensky says “She would not accept me as a new president well enough” and Trump says “Well, she’s going to go through some things.”

Did Trump get a diplomat canned because she didn’t want to commit crimes? The fact that they speak about her at length would make me want to subpoena her testimony.

Yes, yes, 100% yes. 38 percent of the country reads this and thinks "he's doing that I want him to do. Go get Clinton!" Because they have loving mush brains and have had them...for probably their whole lives.
