We only got what the WH wanted us to get (approx. 11 minutes of a 30-min. call) and that was terrible for them. Imagine what is in the full 30 min. call!
The whistle-blower noted its existence. Toward the bottom of page three of the complaint he or she writes:
"In the days following the phone call, I learned from multiple U.S. officials that senior White House officials had intervened to 'lock down' all records of the phone call, especially the official word-for-word transcript of the call that was producedas is customaryby the White House Situation Room."

Congressman Agnus King also noted its existence:

On Thursday's Morning Joe, Congressman Subramanian Raja Krishnamoorthi (D. Illinois) was making this case clearly even telling how the actual transcription occurred with voice-recognition software and editing.
If we can get this, so many of his defenders' arguments will evaporate.

(70,508 posts)Donny talking to the Ukrainian President in trying to get a deal where by a foreign country
would make up dirt on his political opponent is the from same playbook as in 2016 and
according to the Whistleblower's report (bottom pg 4 top pg 5) some of the same people
were involved in both cases too.
This was not Trump's 1st rodeo.

Russia got inside help in the attacks
Russia's attacks stopped Hillary from becoming President and they installed Trump into the White House
Massive crimes by Trump and company
Team Trump worked with and knew all about Russia's attacks on America

(70,508 posts).... to find "dirt" on the investigations that led to the Mueller investigation because they can't argue the facts of the case so they
have to argue about the processes from which those facts arose. But at the end of the day multiple intelligence agencies all over
the world have one overarching conclusion and that is Russia fucked with our elections and both the Trump campaign and
many republicans were well aware of what was going on @ the time.

(358 posts)If the QPQ is there fine and good lets rub his nose in it but lets remember that we dont need the QPQ. He broke the law just by soliciting UKraines help for his political interests.
The No QPQ has become the new No collusion. Lets not fall into that trap again. He broke the law without the QPQ.

And this will be necessary for removal from office.
