White House press secretary noncommittal about releasing Trump call transcript with Ukrainian pres

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham was noncommittal Monday when asked whether President Trump plans to release a transcript of his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that is central to an explosive whistleblower complaint, saying, “We’ll see what happens.”

Trump appeared to confirm Sunday that he mentioned former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter in the July 25 call and said he would “love to” release a transcript to counter reporting that he had inappropriately asked a foreign government to investigate one of his 2020 political rivals.

Appearing on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends,” Grisham wouldn’t say whether Trump will follow through on making the transcript available.

“When foreign leaders come together to speak, they need to be able to speak candidly, so I do think that perhaps releasing this kind of transcript could set a bad precedent,” she said. “He’s willing to do it, I think, but there’s a lot of other people, lawyers and such, that may have a problem with it, so we’ll see what happens.”

4. Why would anyone believe a transcript they released?

They doctored videos and put them on the White House web site to make Dear Leader seem sane. We should get the transcripts from the Ukrainians.

6. I'm sure it will be released "after the audit"

[duforsure]

7. I wouldn't trust their release

And they'll change it.

8. What's stopping Trump from releasing the transcript?

Is he suddenly impotent to do whatever the hell he wants to do? I haven't seen that as being much of an obstacle to him, except in those rare cases (like his tax returns and other financial statements) where he doesn't really want to do what he says he wants to do.
