Trump keeps saying 'read the transcript'. This seems even more ironic after Ivanovitch's testimony. He 33 years of service in some of the world's most dangerous places, under six presidents wondered, who even the Republican's at the inquiry, praised, was set up to be investigated by Ukraine simply to further Trump's scheme.
Here's the transcript in full
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Unclassified09.2019.pdf and here's the relevant passage, where he slags off Ivanovitch and implies she's corrupt then Zelensky says he'll get onto it, obviously this has already all been set up as we've been hearing all week.
Zelensky:
He or she will look. into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of.that and wi11 work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would_ be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far as I recall her name was Ivanovictch. It was great that you were the first one. who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree·with you 100%. Her attitude to.wards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his· side.
This is utter insanity, this is a brand new spanking fresh govt in the newly emerging democracy and Trump is corrupting Zelensky before he even gets started.
Sondland has already said that "Zelensky will do anything you want" to Trump, on the phone which was overheard by three people at the restaurant, and they'll be testifying, and Sondland will know this before he goes up for his third attempt to clarify the situation next week. I think this will be the moment that it all comes tumbling down for Trump, Sondland will not risk jail for perjury now everything has been corroborated.
As Yovanovitch said, it's utterly amazing that Guiliani could work with two corrupt private donors to Trump as well as the former corrupt prosecutor to have a US ambassador, (one of the most senior) removed. How easy was that they must have wondered.
