About a week ago, some unnamed “whistleblower” made an allegation regarding a phone call President Trump had last July with President Zelensky of Ukraine, and all hell started to break loose.
Liberals, and even more moderate democrats, without knowing who the “whistleblower” was, without any knowledge of what was said in the phone call, and with zero evidence whatsoever, ramped up their call to impeach President Trump because, they said, he had obviously done something very, very bad…something highly illegal, and in direct violation of the Constitution.
Let’s be really, really clear here…those impeachment bloviating liberals and democrats had not even seen the actual “whistleblower” complaint.
The one thing they did know, was that whoever that “whistleblower” was, he, or she, wasn’t even in the room when the phone call in question took place.
But whatever was said, the liberals and democrats were sure it was bad. Very…very bad.
Then, last Tuesday…
Nancy Pelosi stepped up to a microphone and told the world that the House would immediately start an impeachment inquiry…because…you now…that phone call…that horrible, law-breaking, anti-constitutional, impeachable phone call.
So…last Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Pelosi announced the official impeachment inquiry was underway, the White House released, unredacted, the transcript of that horrible, awful, anti-constitutional, law-breaking, very…very bad phone call between President Trump, and President Zelensky that had taken place on July 25th, 2019.
That is the call in which liberals, and democrats stated with certainty, that President Trump had pressured…threatened President Zelensky to take up an investigation of Joe Biden’s dealings with Ukraine while Joe was the Vice President. Liberals and democrats insisted that in that call, President Trump threatened to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless…UNLESS President Zelensky agreed to investigate Joe Biden.
Before I get into the transcript, it has been bandied about by liberals and democrats that the transcript that was released was doctored, edited, altered or had parts omitted. You need to know how such transcripts are produced to understand why such allegations of altering one are baseless. There are always numerous people present when a President speaks to another world leader, and among those people are always a couple members of the intel community whose job is to write down the conversation. The transcripts produced are as close to word for word as possible, as the two transcribers combine their notes into a single document that is then reviewed by others who were in the room at the time of the conversation. The document is then archived. The notion that it could be altered, is nothing better than wild conspiracy theory.
So, what did that transcript show?
It revealed a bombshell…President Trump is a nice guy. Well, that certainly wasn’t what the liberals and democrats wanted to hear, or read as the case may be, but nonetheless, there it was, for the whole world to see…President Trump had a very, VERY pleasant chat on the phone with President Zelensky. The two Presidents got off to a great start with President Trump offering congratulations to President Zelensky on a hard-fought, and successful campaign to secure the leadership of his country.
“Congratulations on a great victory. We all watched from the United States and you did a terrific job. The way you came from behind, somebody who wasn’t given much of a chance, and you ended up winning easily. It’s a fantastic achievement. Congratulations.”
Turns out that President Zelensky may well also be a good and decent man, as he responded by telling our President, “You are absolutely right, Mr. President. We did win big and worked hard for this. We worked a lot but I would like to confess to you that I had an opportunity to learn from you. We used quite a few of your skills and knowledge and were able to use it as an example for our elections and yes it is true that these were unique elections. We were in a unique situation that we are able to achieve a unique success. I am able to tell you the following; the first time you called to congratulate me when I won my presidential election, and the second time you are now calling me when my party won the parliamentary election. I think I should run more often so you can call me more often and we can talk over the phone more often.”
That doesn’t sound impeachment worthy to me…not even close.
From there, the Presidents went on to discuss various aspects of foreign aid, with President Trump talking about how the U.S. spends a lot of time and effort doing things for Ukraine. He also told President Zelensky that the U.S. does “much more than the European countries are doing and should be helping you more than they are.” President Trump mentioned that, “Germany does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk and I think it’s something that you should really ask them about.”
President Zelensky agreed, telling our President, “You are absolutely right.”
President Zelensky went on to relate to President Trump that he had spoken with both Merkel from Germany, and France’s Macron and that he told them they are not doing enough to enforce sanctions against Russia. President Zelensky even told our President that the United States is a much bigger partner than the European Union, and that he was quite grateful because “the United States is doing quite a lot for Ukraine.”
I’m still not seeing anything that is within Hubble telescope range of reaching the level of impeachment.
Next in the phone chat came talk about military aid. Oh…could this be it? Could this be the part where President Trump issues an awful, horrible threat to withhold military aid as the liberals and democrats have been claiming?
Well, not exactly…this is the part where President Zelensky tells President Trump, “thank you for your great support in the area of defense. 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.”
Since this is the only place in the entire conversation that military aid is discussed…at all…in my ever-so humble opinion…that makes Trump the absolute WORST strong-arm threat maker in the history of strong-arm threat makers. We were told, by liberals and democrats, that Trump applied pressure against Zelensky to investigate Biden, or lose military funding. Adam Schiff, after reading, or at least claiming to have read the transcript on Wednesday morning, said, “This is how a mafia boss talks,” and further stated that what Trump did was “a classic mafia shakedown.”
The mafia reference was, of course, an issued talking point as one mainstream media agent after another used that reference time and time again for the rest of the day.
Did the two Presidents talk about Joe and Hunter Biden? Yes, but they also talked about Hillary, a server, and Ukrainian ties to that mess too. Was there talk about investigating Biden? Sort of. To be perfectly honest, that part of the conversation centered on the Ukrainian prosecutor who was fired on Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential desire when Biden actually DID threaten Ukraine with the holding back of billions of dollars in loan guarantees.
That part of the conversation also dealt with President Trump urging President Zelensky to look into Ukraine’s past problems with corruption, and President Zelensky telling President Trump that he has a new top prosecutor, a good man, coming in and that he wants to…and this certainly won’t make the liberals or the democrats very happy…he wants to “clean the swamp” in Ukraine.
Did President Trump say that he would have Rudy Giuliani and Bill Barr get in touch with President Zelensky? Yep. Is there anything wrong with that? Nope. What the two Presidents were talking about was a corruption investigation that encompassed both countries, and involved Joe and Hunter Biden, some corrupt politicians who were part of a former Ukrainian administration, some threats that Biden himself has bragged about, and the whole Hillary, server thing that our AG is currently investigating.
Did President Trump link any investigation to the status of military aid to Ukraine? No. Did President Trump mention the 2020 election or any partisan political aspect to the investigation? No. Did President Trump offer any suggestion, or even a hint of a time frame for any investigation? No again. But if this were political in nature, if this dealt with the 2020 election in any way, or if this was something the President of Ukraine didn’t want to do, don’t you think there would have been a timeline strongly suggested? Don’t you think there would have been a mention of partisanship? Wouldn’t there at the very least have been a threat…a ”do it, get it done by a certain date, or else” type of threat?
But there wasn’t any of that. Not even a hint of any of that.

So, what did Adam Schiff have to say about that on behalf of his fellow liberals and democrats who seem to want desperately for this to be the most vile phone call in the history of the American presidency?
“Like any mafia boss, the president didn’t need to say, ‘That’s a nice country you have. It’d be a shame if something happened to it,’ because that was clear from the conversation. There is no quid pro quo necessary to betray your country or oath of office, even though many read this as a quid pro quo. I’m not concerned whether it’s a quid pro quo or not.”
Wait a minute. Hold the phone…
According to Schiff, the liberals and democrats who are hell-bent on trying to impeach President Trump, the ONLY thing that matters is what they WANTED President Trump to have said and done…what they HOPED he had said and done, NOT anything that he ACTUALLY said or did. They’re not concerned whether there was quid pro quo or not…they don’t give a damn whether or not any laws were broken. They’re saying that NOT saying those things…NOT doing those things adds up to treason because…because they WANT them to add up to treason even though those things never happened.
Schiff literally said that breaking the law, or violating the Constitution, issuing quid pro quo threats for partisan political gain isn’t “necessary to betray your country or oath of office.”
This is a “holy crap” moment…President Trump was wrong. This isn’t another witch hunt…this is a stunning admission by Schiff, the liberals and the democrats…they are admitting to launching yet another attempted coup.
I’ll get back to this in a quick moment, but first let me just fill you in on the rest of that phone call. The two leaders spoke about the new Ukrainian top prosecutor, a new Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S., the outgoing Ambassador, and then they wrapped up the call with more pleasantries…hoping to meet in person soon, and with both inviting the other to visit their respective countries. It was exactly the sort of phone call anyone would expect the leaders of countries to have with one another…congratulations, thanks, glad we’re friends…what about this, what about that…a little fluff, a bit of business, and a come and see me sometime. That is literally all that phone call was.
But, back to the coup attempt…
With what Schiff said on Wednesday, it becomes clear that the liberals and the democrats aren’t the least bit interested in any sort of Constitutional impeachment…they’re just trying, and poorly trying at that, to use the Constitution as cover for their real, and most desperate agenda…a coup against the sitting President of These United States.
Let me put it this way…the phone call never mattered to the liberals and democrats…nothing said in that call mattered to them…no laws were even brushed up against, and they know it. That phone call was the excuse, not the reason, to pull the trigger on another coup attempt.
The “whistleblower” wasn’t even in the room, and that didn’t matter either…and that “whistleblower” when the dust settles, will be nothing but collateral damage in the latest, but probably not the last attempted coup against President Trump.
