CBS published on Wednesday what it described as the “full contents” of a memo written by the whistleblower who would later file a complaint about President Donald Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president.

The memo “as described to CBS” can be read here.

According to CBS, the whistleblower drew up the memo on July 26 after talking to an unknown White House official who had been on the call the day before.

ABC News and the New York Times had reported on the memo on Tuesday, describing how the White House official described the call as “frightening” and “crazy.”

  1. I still want the transcript. But this is a start!

    • The President reiterated his concern that Zelenskyy was surrounded by people who were enemies of the President, including “bad oligarchs.”*

    Wow. #45 likes laying his own, personal and personnel, issues out for a perfect conversation.

  2. When the second whistleblower who has first hand knowledge of Trump’s blackmail of Ukraine to get dirt on Biden steps forward, it’s clear as day what occurred. Adding in Trump’s public call for China to help him politically and the numerous instances of obstruction and witness tampering, the main impeachment case is proven.

  3. Was watch Shep talking about Turkey. Dump came on and said he had a great talk with Borris Johnson
    Think they discussed where they would go when they are thrown out of their respective countries?

  4. OT File under “Great and Unmatched Wisdom”
