You ask for evidence and i give it to you. I ask you for the same and you ignore it and continue with the tin-foil conspiracies.
Again, you're suggesting that Trump somehow made very clear violations of law, and yet none of the people who recorded the notes from the meeting recorded those violations.
Dude, where did I say I had any evidence? I'm only giving you my opinion. And the evidence I asked for was for your assertion of "We know exactly what was said", when we don't as the transcript clearly states.
First, you demanded a link to the source of MY opinion. I gave it. Rather than admit that my proof directly supports what I said, you come back with distinctions without a difference. You can't even admit that I demonstrated exactly what I said existed. Precisely the lie you keep telling.
The transcript presented ISN'T the record I'm talking about. It's merely the pertinent portion of it.
Saying it's not verbatim is not the same as 'we don't know what was said.' voice recognition software can be very good, but it will still struggle with accents and slurred or muttered words. You still understand 'what was said' by the rest of the conversation. This is what I'm talking about in terms of tin-foil. You believe that Trump somehow managed to make sure that the legal violations weren't captured by the voice recognition software, nor did they stick out enough for the note takers to take notice.
In addition, you're claiming that the official transcript was somehow inappropriately deleted from the government servers and moved to this 'secret' server... yet nobody is charging anyone with deleting files from a government server (a clear crime) AND nobody is addressing the elephant in the room... Why Trump would keep ANY record of this conversation if he was able to remove it from the official server without a crime. More illogical insanity.
I gave you proof that an electronic transcript of the conversation existed. You give me proof of your assertion that it no longer exists. The best proof would be at least a somewhat formal charge that it has been destroyed by the administration

I don't either... But it's insane to think that Trump would openly break a law on a known recorded line and yet somehow the numerous people taking transcripts and notes on the event wouldn't mention those clear violations. I trust that Trump isn't that smart more than I trust that you and Democrats aren't that desperate.
You can't have it both ways... that he's a moron and a crook, but somehow too smart to get caught red handed even on a monitored line. Instead we hear about 'code words' and innuendo and inferences... because of course, the newly elected President of Ukraine is 'in on it' with a guy whom Russia helped elect. Does that even make sense to YOU?
Quote:If my beliefs are proven wrong, I'll gladly say so. And that's exactly why this investigation should go forward and the WH should provide ALL the details since in your belief, they have NOTHING to hide. Of course, they're currently trying to thwart everything other than this transcript which they had full control over what was released. To me, that smells fishy.
No you won't, mostly because nobody can prove a negative. The odds can be 1mm:1 against you and it still won't be 'proof'. The conversation is the accusation. Please provide evidence of something
directly related to the conversation that they've thwarted.
I never said they had nothing to hide. I have no idea. That's not enough for another fishing expedition. Democrats recently asked for 8 years of tax records to investigate supposed finance issues during the 2016 election.
We went 2 years with your side arguing that 'they had the goods' on Russia. Then we went for a few months with 'if you hold the report just so, you still see possibilities'. This is just more of that same thing.
The burden of proof is on YOU, chief... and this is the best you have?
You're right... maybe I just should have ridiculed your opinion as opposed to asking for some actual support for it.
