Democrats Fume Over Trump-Ukraine Transcript; Schiff Calls 'Mob Shakedown'

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

 Congressional Democrats are hard at work trying to salvage their narratives after a transcript of a July Phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky failed to meet expectations. 

To recap; controversy erupted earlier this month after a whistleblower lodged an 'urgent' complaint about something Trump promised another world leader - the details of which the White House has refused to share. 

Seizing on the rumor as their latest 'smoking gun,' Congressional Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry on Tuesday - only for a Wednesday morning release of the transcript (as a 'memorandum') to reveal a cordial conversation between the world leaders in which Trump asked Zelensky to look into the Bidens, and Zelensky assured Trump he was working hard to root out corruption

Nothing was promised. Nothing was threatened.

By most standards, this was a 'myth busted' moment for yet another failed 'gotcha,' however after having committed to the impeachment inquiry the left is throwing a hail mary - pressing forward with accusations that the phone call was an abuse of power and risking turning Trump into a martyr into the 2020 election.
