Here's how I bet it goes:

- Trump held up the aid as extortion and promised to not let Russia invade if they helped out with a phony investigation.

- Putin is going to invade Ukraine in 2020 anyway and Trump will do nothing.

- Putin told him to get what he needs from them first before he invades.

- Its a complete trick on Ukraine to get them to help out and then get rid of them with a Russian invasion.

That's why its so urgent - Trump and Putin are in on this together.

Reporter on MSNBC reading the transcript from his phone. He paused and said the above. He meant this not as “it’s gray” but as “Trump is a loon”

We are going to get to see 5 pages on the stream of unconsciousness of Trump’s mind.

This is one cobbled together transcript of one call. The Whistleblower, I believe, was concerned about more than one incident of abuse of Trump's Presidential Powers.
