    I’m calling ‘dibs’: if the transcript differs from the whistleblower’s complaint, they will claim the transcript has been falsified.

    Even though the leaker (he’s not a whistleblower) never saw the transcript, I’m sure you’re right.

    I’m calling dibs on the whistle blower was a Trumpkin setting a trap for the Dems to step on and self-immolate.  That’s the best reconstruction of the evidence that I can see.

    As Will Rogers said, “All I know is what I read on-line”, or something like that. Did some Demo senators actually ask Ukraine to investigate Trump?

    … and the rest of the image below

    Little Dickie Durbin! I can’t wait until someone asks him about this.

    Don’t we already know that the whistle blower wasn’t even witness to the call?

    The whistleblower was Marianne Williamson. Her source was her Ouija board.

    He obviously won’t go on a show hosted by Ingraham, Levin, Limbaugh, or Hannity so who is going to ask him? I’d bet Jake Crapper wouldn’t.

    It would be funny, but I suspect they can do it without help.

    I wonder how the Bulwark is handling this?

    (wanders over to have a look-see)

    Oh, not well.

    The Bulwark is a left-wing site, you know.

    Yes.

    OK. But I’m certain that the folks over at Bull**** would point out that their motivations were pure as the driven snow. Just like Biden’s. But Orange Man Bad, and incapable of having decent motivations.

    You know, Drew, you don’t have to sugar-coat it.

    This transcript was typed in real-time while listening to the phone call, correct?

    Is every call to and from a President recorded, either by device or live transcription? Does law require it or is it just a reflection of the importance of remembering details at that level of diplomacy?

    Segment in Tucker Carlson

    Tucker Carlson’s show explained this tonight. Yes, every presidential call is done this way. Several NSC staffers listen and type what the hear. The the several transcripts are cross-referenced for accuracy and combined into one. It is a considered an accurate record of the conversation, so all these references to it being a “rough”transcript you may hear are inaccurate. 

    The Fox News contributor who explained this was on the national security council staff for both George W. Bush and Barack Obama and said she’d done hundreds of these transcripts. I’m blanking on here name right now for some reason. Gillian something.

    I’ve seen quite a few of the usual social media clowns  demand that we get recordings of the conversation because the transcripts were most certainly doctored.

    There really is no hope for rule of law or constitutionality when people like this exist in our society. Where do we go from here?

    I guess one benefit of the Green New Deal would be the constant power outages which would effectively silence them.

    I had to go look up her bio because I didn’t know about the NSC staff gigs.
