Trump asked the Ukraine to interfere in our elections by digging up dirt on the likely democratic nominee, Joe Biden, in exchange for military aid. Let this sink in. Trump used his office and the threat of withholding aid to be reelected. Do a deep dive or a quick read to find out more.

This is what you get when the full resources and assets of our nation is weaponized in service of a corrupt, fascist regime that will do anything to stay in power and evade punishment. As damaging as this is it: a) is only a summary not the verbatim transcript; and b) has certainly been doctored to hide the most damaging portions of the conversation. In other words this is the least damaging version of the call Trump could come up with that acknowledges that which could not be denied or contained. It is not happenstance that they released a “summary” of a transcript and not the tape
