In any other sane country there would be loving riots right now outside of whatever capitol of government they have over something like this. This is what they feel is the best, least incriminating thing they can put out :psyduck: so what does that mean for the other seven calls and full transcripts?

the law specifically allows the whistleblower to contact congress, and they have done so

the report's coming out one way or another at this point, which is why the white house is going to try the hail mary of a "redacted" version

The whistleblower's lawyers have asked that their client speak in private to the House Intelligence Committee, correct?

Going back to when this first came to light, was there ever a point when Trump said he never discussed Biden on any call? I'm just curious how far this has slipped to "Well I didn't explicitly draw up a contract..."

Ask me about being too much of a sperging idiot to understand what resisting arrest means.
For some godawful reason I regularly check /r/AskTrumpSupporters to see what brand of mental gymnastics they do to explain away the scandal of the day. Here's a selection of some of the more hilarious ones about the transcript:

quote:

I see no mention of aid connected to the Biden question

Again, just looks like Trump just floated an idea, not illegal at all

quote:

quote:

"I would like you to do us a favor though..."

What do you think Trump implied in this sentence?

He was changing the subject to a different subject. “Though” is used that way all the time.

quote:

It looks bad... for Biden.

The only reason they're doing the impeachment is for a hail mary attempt at keeping Biden out of jail. The Dems need to get into the white house so they can stop having their corruption exposed.

If not the president, then who else is supposed to ask Ukraine to look into the Biden situation?

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
I just can’t wrap my mind around the fact that a condensed and curated second hand account that they voluntarily released already looks this bad for Trump.

There is an absolute treasure trove of damning details hiding just beneath the surface of this. The stuff not being included in this one account. The other 7 calls. The international escapades of personal fixer Rudy Giuliani.

Back in 2016, I would dip my toe and debate those idiots back when that subreddit actually allowed open debate. I remember one fucker in particular arguing that that Trump tweet where he says vaccines cause autism did not actually mean vaccines cause autism because Trump hadn't used the word "cause."

So surprise surprise these idiots think that since Trump didn't say "Hey do a crime for me and I'll do a crime for you" that means he's completely innocent.
