Телефонный разговор

yakov_a_jerkov — 25.09.2019 Утром Белый Дом опубликовал memorandum (не стенограмму) разговора Трампа с Зеленским. Большинство, и я в том числе, ожидало, что в опубликованной части разговора не будет ничего особенного, что это будет что-то вроде первого summary доклада Мюллера от Барра.

Но нет, меморандум содержит все, в чем обвиняют Трампа.

Сам меморандум находится здесь. Он очень короткий, прочитайте.

Ключевой момент в разговоре -- Зеленский говорит: "we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United· States for defense purposes." На что Трамп моментально отвечает: "I would like you to do us a favor though [...]"

Одолжения (два), о которых Трамп просит Зеленского... Первое, о чем ранее мы не знали, это не Байден, это...

I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike ...

WTF? Если кто хочет понять, о чем тут говорит Трамп, и оценить уровень его невменяемости, то вот helpful цепочка.

Далее Трамп переходит уже к Байдену:

[...] I heard you had a prosecutor who was very·good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York Ci:ty, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call yoti along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I jtist want to let you know that.

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.

Более краткая версия того же:

"The United States has been very very good to Ukraine."

“I would like you to do us a favor, though..."

"Whatever you can do, it's very important that you do it if that's possible."

"There's a lot of talk about Biden's son..."

Ну, что тут сказать... Процитирую Амаша:

Yesterday, I had expected the WH to release an unremarkable transcript to distract from the main issues: the whistleblower complaint and other abuses. Today, it released a highly incriminating transcript, and it seems POTUS doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong.

Трамписты по привычке скандируют "Complete and Total Exoneration!", не обращая никакого внимания на реальность.

Ezra Klein хорошо описал сегодняшнюю ситуацию:

The thing where Republicans raised the impeachment bar to quid pro quo, expecting the Trump administration would never voluntarily release an edited reconstruction revealing a quid pro quo, and then they do but Republicans now have to pretend they didn't, is really wild.

It makes me think of all those articles in the early months of the administration about how authoritarian governments test loyalty by forcing people to publicly parrot absurd, easily disprovable lies.

Среди республиканцев есть, по крайней мере, одно исключение -- Ромни:

Пока все. Но это еще отнюдь не все новости на сегодня. Трамп провел вполне безумную пресс-конференцию с Зеленским, во время которой выразил надежду: "I really hope that you and President Putin can get together and solve your problem." Белый Дом отправил сегодняшние свои talking points... демократам и т. д.

Наиболее важно, что whistleblower complaint (redacted) только что поступил в Select Committee on Intelligence и, вроде, тоже сегодня должен быть получен и комитетом Шиффа в Хаусе.
