Skip Gregory on Full Searchable Text of Transcript of Call Between President Trump and Ukrainian President ZelenskyGreat call, Capt. It rolled from Russiagate and collusion to obstruction of justice to "meddling in foreign affairs" to now bribery and not being a good HR person. Democrats should get to work on things that matter.
