Release The Transcript

Joe Biden spoke with the president of Ukraine yesterday.  Quoting unnamed White House sources, CNN reported that Joe Biden told the Ukrainian president Russia will invade soon, and that the capital of Ukraine could be sacked.  CNN also quoted Ukrainian officials as saying the call "did not go well." 

The Biden White House disputed CNN's report as fake news, and the liberal network dutifully took down its report, which supposedly relied on its White House sources. 

Let me remind you that Biden had a long press conference last week.  He said that if Russia launches a "minor invasion," our response would be minor.  But he said something else that was also totally inappropriate. 

Biden attempted to psychoanalyze former KGB colonel Vladimir Putin, saying, "He's trying to find his place in the world between China and the West.  My guess is he will move in. He has to do something."  Biden seemed to be encouraging an invasion. 

There's not much difference between what Biden said publicly last week and what he reportedly said on the phone to the Ukrainian president yesterday.

But there is an easy way to clear up all this confusion. The White House should release the transcript of the phone call and let everyone see it.  After all, that's exactly what Joe Biden demanded of Donald Trump.

As you may recall, there were several occasions during the Trump presidency when leaks about his calls with foreign leaders caused outrage in the media.  Well, there are always multiple people on these calls from various U.S. intelligence agencies.  And there are transcripts of these calls.  After a controversy erupted over his call with the Ukrainian president, President Trump ordered the transcript of the call to be released. 

Okay, Joe. It's your turn.  Release the transcript!
