“How long would they last in a fight with Russia?” President Trump is heard asking about Ukraine in a 2018 recording of a dinner with donors including the indicted associates of his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.

This undated image released by the House Judiciary Committee from documents provided by Lev Parnas to the committee in the impeachment probe against President Donald Trump, shows a photo of Lev Parnas with Rudy Giuliani. Parnas, a close associate of Trump's personal lawyer Giuliani is claiming Trump was directly involved in the effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden. Trump on Thursday, Jan.

A video recording of the entire 80-minute dinner at the Trump Hotel in Washington was obtained Saturday by The Associated Press. Excerpts were first published Friday by ABC News. People can be seen in only some portions of the recording. Ukraine came up during the dinner in the context of a discussion of energy markets, with the voice appearing to be Parnas’ describing his involvement in the purchase of a Ukrainian energy company.

Just a few minutes into the conversation, Trump can be heard railing against former President George W. Bush, China, the World Trade Organization and the European Union. “Bush, he gets us into the war, he gets us into the Middle East, that was a beauty,” Trump says. “We’re in the Middle East right now for $7 trillion.” He later says: “China rips us off for years and we owe them $2 trillion.” The president blames the WTO because it “allowed China to do what they’re doing.

SO.....?

What a jerk AP is, Trump is heard? how about some real FACTS instead of-maybe he did or maybe he did not

cooperchip1 Also Trump doesn’t know his foreign policy tutor, Lev Parnas? Riiight ...

Is this the 'proof' ?

AP AssociatedPress all propaganda

Can't comment because am an African and our opinions are cropped out on the AP. We are not humans to them as demonstrated in the climate activist photo incident

Those dinners are not about knowing people. It’s about people giving money to politicians and thinking they are friends with people in high places. All those politicians pointing fingers do that 10X over.

Trump and GOP have abandoned all love of country for personal gain. Assets of the Kremlin more than American Patriots. Unfortunately, most Americans are either asleep, to rich to care or supporters of Trump's bullshit. Which means, Trump will do whatever Putin wants...

A video staring at a light. Y’all peopl believe everything that’s fed to you. You can’t tell who’s really in that video.

Obviously the GOP Senators will not be swayed, the Trump cult endures. However I hope Bloomberg does ad with Parnas tape and photos and names of R.Sens up for re-election.Have to fight dirty to eradicate the cult

Maybe, Biden is the red herring? Could it be, this was and is about Trump working on behalf of Putin to suppress Ukraine?

The circus is in town...

Is that why he hold up Ukraine military aid to weaken them against Russia That was what it was paying back for Putin that helped Trump to WH America presidency. U Yankee better stand up in unity for your nation national security interest and sovereignty specially Republic watch

That demonstrates that he is in Russia’s pocket and doing their bidding. This is not the America I once knew

So he fired a US Ambassador based on a conversation with Parnas; a guy whom he doesn’t know

And he gave them arms rather than blankets... He also said way back then he wished Europe would do more.

Make no mistake the impeached Traitor POTUS is conspiring with Russia & its Russia-paid LevParnas.... ... He's clearly following the directive of Parnas in the LevParnasAudio to remove a US Ambassador.... ... This is proof of RussianCollusion. GOP DNC

Putin don't want to pay ukraine for transferring natural gas to Europe through ukraine. So throwing under bus make alot of sense.

'Do you think Americans care about Ukraine,' is what Sec Pompeo said to NPRKelly just yesterday...so you can see what the trump admin's official policy toward Ukraine is

'But didn't Obama and Hillary do messed up stuff sometimes? Where's that investigation?' - Trump, probably.

This will make for great evidence at a whole new impeachment trial after this one ends. Trump is about to be a two-time loser

Legitimate question.

Why are his teeth so yuge?!

America, can you please tell the world why your leader is so pro Russia? Ukraine needs to be protected

But what about Clinton’s sex basement?

Interesting the way Trump breaks bread and parties with all these people he doesn’t know. 🧐 Who does that?

Greed and Ignorance all in one pic

Trump 4 more years

Yo fake news media...

Trump: “I don’t know them, I don’t know about them, I don’t know what they do,” Trump added. “I don’t know, maybe they were clients of Rudy’s. You’d have to ask Rudy.”Also Trump to Parnas: “The Ambassador of Ukraine? Take her out”

Hope someone asks Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump if they agree with the rabbis & think Donald Trump is the Messiah. We may be getting clues that radical fundamentalist Jews & Christians are a bigger threat to the world that radical fundamentalist Muslims.

So the one crucial thing from that is that the ambassador was telling Ukraine that Trump was going to be impeached so effectively ignore him. That is working against the US. If anyone in Ukraine confirms that she can have no complaints on being fired.

Shampeachment FakeNews

Trump: “I don’t even know who this man is, other than I guess he attended fundraisers. So I take a picture with him,I take thousands and thousands of pictures with people all the time. Thousands during the course of a year.” Also Trump to Parnas: Let’s discuss Ukraine Ambassador.

Polident.

Trump: 'I don't know him at all. Don't know what he's about. Don't know where he comes from. Know nothing about him. I can only tell you this thing is a big hoax.' Also Trump to Parnas: If you say so. TakeHerOut

Sickening

Trump: 'Parnas, I don't know, other than he probably contributed to the campaign along with tens of thousands of other people. This weekend I was taking pictures with hundreds of people.” Also Trump: “Take her out. Can Ukraine last against Russia without us Parnas?”

Bombshell! You got him this time.😂😂😂🤡

Trump: 'I don't know him, other than he's sort of like a groupie. He shows up at fundraisers. I don't know anything about him,' Also Trump: Take her out. Tell me about Ukraine.

Right before that someone was quoting an ignorant person who said we armed Ukraine so they can fight there instead of here.

I think they see the same dentist.

'Who? Melania who? Oh. Well, I might have met her, but I meet a lot of people. I have pictures with a lot of people. I have more pictures with people than anybody. I probably have a picture with this Melania, but does that mean I know her? Well, of course it doesn't.'

Geez, 'how did we ever get into the Korean War?' Trump is an idiot. And he wants to hold political fundraisers in the White House?

and, who was whispering sweet nothings into Donny's ear?

In a fight? Is it MMA?

The Ukraine would probably last longer without an 'ally' that keeps stabbing it in the back.

Article 2! Trump sold them Javelin missiles which obliterated Russians tanks. Obama sent them blankets 😀

The snake on the right faked all this.

Perhaps he's a fine man; perhaps he's not. I know nothing about him.... I don't know him. I don't believe I've ever spoken with him. I don't believe I've ever spoken to him.... But I don't know him. I had never had a conversation that I remember with him.' AlsoTrump:TakeHerOut

Obama sent blankets...Sedition by the media...Walkaway.

The most inept, incompetent President ever asking questions rightfully reserved for those who could expertly answer & advise him, of a group of rogue toady's whose biggest accomplishment as of then was surveilling our ambassador to Ukraine. Good grief have we lost our minds.

when all else fails...

Trump: Know nothing about him. [...] 'It doesn't matter what he says. He's trying to probably make a deal for himself. I don't even know who this man is, other than I guess he attended fundraisers, so I take a picture with him.... No, I don't know him. him.

Trump:”Well, I don't know him. I don't know Parnas, other than I guess I had pictures taken, which I do with thousands of people, including people today that I didn't meet. But -- just met them. I don't know him at all. Don't know what he's about. Don't know where he comes from.

yawn

Lack of reporting on today's impeachment defense and shifting the story to the Parnas gossip can mean only one thing... the defense was hugely successful.

But he says he doesn’t know them. Look at the pictures. From his mouth to your ears. Listen learn and wake up. Vote in 2020

Yeah, that's why he was selling the javillines. Seems like a reasonable question to ask.

Level of ignorance in the comments is astounding. Starting with the posting this. Yawn.

Those teeth.

Corrupted Giuliani !

Well, did anyone give an answer...and if they did , did they also advise POTUS to give them state of the art anti tank weapons...just asking for a friend.

To think this Ukraine meddled in our election. Extremely vexing. They certainly bite more than they could chew. I'll bet that's why they're getting their ass kicked by Russia. For all we know, Russia could've been fighting for our honor.

So about this part: 'Trump also seemed to question the U.S. involvement in the Korean War: “How we ever got involved in South Korea in the first place, tell me about it. How we ended up in a Korean War.” How does a US PRESIDENT not know this?!?

It's amazing what you can turn into make believe audio and video these days. More fake news

I guess this is what happens when you have no respect for the truth

Even with the weapons the United States is supplying to these Nazis they wouldn't last long

And Obama is caught on hot mic telling Russia after his re-election he will be able to bend over more so the could screw us better

Give it a rest shills. Go find a black woman to crop out of a picture.

Even a kid knows that the question is a good one. Even if Trump is a dummy, he asked a good assessing question

The video contains this gem: He (Trump) says drug dealers would throw heavy bundles of drugs over the wall, which could kill Border Patrol agents. “They have a catapult and they throw it over the wall, and it lands on the other side of the wall and it can hit people.'

Well ,yeah. Also, US has spent $5,000,000,000 of our tax money on Ukraine by the time Obama and Biden toppled the government that was 'too pro Russia,' which ESCALATED everything.

You wallow with dogs you get fleas and he's full of them.

Report: Recording links Trump to Ukraine ambassador ousterPresident Donald Trump can be heard in a 2018 recording saying he wants to get rid of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. ABC News reported on the recording and said he was talking with a small group that included Lev Parnas, an associate of his lawyer. The actual audio has not been released. Good grief you people. So instead of firing her, which is his prerogative to do since she serves at his pleasure, would it have been better if he abandoned her to be slaughtered in the streets of Benghazi? Asking for John Christopher Stevens. I bet the tape recording sounds a little like Bill Clinton or Joe Biden.
