“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.

Also visible in the video are the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. and former counselor to the president Johnny DeStefano. Jack Nicklaus III, the grandson of the golf icon, and New York real estate developer Stanley Gale also attended the event for a pro-Trump group. “You know that Kim Jong Un is a great golfer,” Trump is heard telling the guests, who roar with laughter.

“I think cable TV is OK. If we ever lost an election, cable TV is dead,” he says, the party goers laughing. “Can you imagine if they had a normal candidate? It’s all they talk about. If they had Hillary, crooked Hillary, their ratings would be one-fifth.”

So?

I think before we make any critical decisions, let’s ask what would Les and Igor do. dontknowthe guy

Fairly valid question. What’s the issue ?

It also proves that the concern about corruption started almost a year before Biden announcement. Still no crimes. But something tells me you leave that out.

So let’s just hand them over, but first I need dirt on Biden!

Breaking news president acquitted senate votes along party lines with the Rhino party Romney voting with the dems no further wittinesses. OPPS THAT IS FOR NEXT FRIDAY!

It's Ukrainians who fighting each other and USA putting gasoline into already burning fire there

JxnFreePress If you dont ask questions you want get answers

Does this make Parkas a very important donor.

So what was the answer? I'm curious about it now.

So your point is Trump was looking into Ukraine corruption before JoeBiden announced he was running, upending the notion he was interfering with the 2020 election, expsosing the entire impeachment fraud as a scam? Great point.

I believe this was more about withholding aid to Ukraine to satisfy Putin and Biden and Burisma was the coverup...

Big question, why was he recording our President?

Six years and counting.

So...

Nothing cooler than the commander in chief lying to his peers and constituents. I feel like I need to head to church listening to SenatorLankford defend POTUS.

Obama already proved how long they'll last he already let it happen. AP is trying to be the next New York times with fake news. Obama sent socks and MREs Trump sent lethal weapons! The anti-trumpers have gone beyond any logic They don't believe in facts or truth anymore.

Where at in the video time wise are you talking about?

Murder Inc

How long would Parnas and realDonaldTrump be friends if Parnas wasn’t caught?

he was willing to throw Ukraine to the wolves to personally benefit himself and to please Putin. This is treason.

Good to hear a strong leader doing his job. 👏🇺🇸

Private convos recorded is against the law.

So...? Thx for reminding us journalism’s dead.

All roads lead to Russia with trump. Why do you think he’s so afraid/angry when Putin is mentioned?

The question I keep asking is, 'How long would Rudy Giuliani last in a federal prison?'

Hehehehehehe is either you lot have a Trump itch you can't scratch or certainly this 'demo rats'impeachment managers are certainly in trouble if all of a sudden you lot scurrying all over the place and clutching at straws. Pathetic! 2020, Its election year....tic toc tic

A lot longer now that Trump gave them lethal aid, instead of blankets.

So basically Trump is the same in private as he is in public. That’s refreshing.

How dare a President of the United States ask about Ukraine after Obama let Russia invade it. The nerve. Ukraine

Why is he so beholden to Russia? It’s really sad that he values them over our allies.

Isn't it called guilt by association, Counselor

Why is realDonaldTrump taking policy advice from indicted felons? This is one of trumps 'good people'. Now we know who Trump is talking about when he says 'people tell me'.

Our 'News' outlets are complete trash.

Maybe that's why Trump gave them missiles and Obama gave them little packs of food.

Gee I wonder why all these new Revelations come out just at the trial time... Political games again

War Pig.

Pretty hard to make the 'no pressure' argument when he's literally asking how long they can withstand military pressure from a foreign entity without our financial support.

Good to know he thinks of war like a a UFC fight.

HE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PUPPET FOR PUTIN.

and sent rockets -Javelins to be exact. Now what did your patriach OBAMA and Soros send? BLANKETS! Thats what! AP has turned to gutter for Liberals

So?

Bout as long as the degenerate dough boy Trump would last with a little girl evidently...

“Get rid of her. Take her out. I don’t care.” Sounds like an ordered HIT by realDonaldTrump

Funny how this tape was made a year before Biden announced he was running. It actually exonerates Trump from the smear that he wanted her fired over Biden. Checkmate! 👍 KAG

Let’s be honest, the voting demographic that’s keeping these Republicans in power won’t last forever. When millennials and Gen Z take over the majority, they will have a lot to answer for and will have to change

Rudy helped save America. Now he is selling us out.

But he doesn’t know the man and can’t remember ever talking to him, right?

Trump is a murderer

Y'know, a totally normal subject that a head of state would discuss with donors.

2018 - -Biden runs in 2019 - -the 'political rival', 'foreign interference' and 'scheme' theory falls apart

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.

Democrats say Trump 'worked hard' on Ukraine cover-up, shows no remorseTrump administration hasn't shown that it really 'cares' about corruption in Ukraine, Rep. Jason Crow said at the president's impeachment trial Why would they “really ‘care’ about corruption in Ukraine”? Ukraine is an entire country, Reuters. Caring about American political corruption at the highest level REALLY IS something to CARE about. DemocratsAreCorrupt It is laughable that Donald Trump cared even a little bit about corruption in Ukraine and that (not that it happens to be his chief political rival) is the reason he sought an announcement on a Biden investigation. If you believe that, I have some swamp land to sell you

Recording appears to show Trump interest in value of Ukraine aid'We have evidence here... that [Pres. Trump] is aware of the fact that Ukraine very much needs American military assistance,' says Joseph Bondy, attorney for Lev Parnas, of audio appearing to show Trump asking Parnas about the value of US aid to Ukraine. Claire McCaskill thinks it's sooooo hard to do the right thing by putting country before a job. Hmmmm...I can think of a MILLION harder things!! Still nothing criminal like what Obama, Joe, Hunter and Democrats did with Ukraine before and during the 2016 election. The American embassy in Ukraine was so corrupt, even Ukrainians were reporting about it. Democrats are crazy and Trump is handed a 2020 win...
