https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdfTrump started off with the DNC-server being hidden in Ukraine, and Zelensky should do something about it.
Zelensky promises to meet with Giulinai for that investigation.
page 4:
The other thing, there's a lot of talk about Biden's son. That Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it ... It sounds horrible to me.
President Zelenskyy: I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all I understand and I'm knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament; the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved, by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue.
What company is Zelensky refering to? Donald Trump never mentioned a company. Shokin was sacked 1 year after the investigation into Burisma had already run into a dead end. Shokin was sacked amidst domestic and international pressure for being corrupt. The Burisma-case was already long-dead and a non-issue by then.
Trump never mentioned either Shokin or Burisma. So why does Zelensky say that Trump mentioned Burisma?

(5,524 posts)1. Trump did refer to Crowdstrike in the previous discussion
He is still trying to find the DNC server which FOX tells him exists.

There's no evidence that what we're looking at is anything other than the telcon.
Trump refereed to Biden's son and Biden supposedly stopping the prosecution. Zelensky knows what he's referring to (he even says so) and that it was actually an investigation into a company... no Biden's son.
Zelensky spends the entire call kissing up to Trump. Even reminding him that he stays at Trump Tower when he visits NY.

(492 posts)5. I read it as a reference
to Barr. Maybe translation issues but the party/company he mentioned here ....whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. is Barr.
