The first public knowledge of the telephone call came at the website of President Zelenskyy. Obviously, his administration was supposed to have transparency with the people of Ukraine. The reading is above and I have the words here:
"Donald Trump expressed his conviction that the new Ukrainian government will be able to quickly improve Ukraine's image and complete the investigation of corruption cases that have held back cooperation between Ukraine and the United States."
That posting on President Zelenskyy's website also implicates Trump in that there is no cooperation between Ukraine and the USA unless corruption cases (without listing names) are completed. So, President Zelenskyy left the conversation with Trump with a clear understanding the USA military equipment was not coming YET.
The Whistleblower is correct. That posting along with the specifics of what was transpiring within the White House staff and the slow to take responsibility White House lawyers is a clear path forward that Trump broke the law and needs to be impeached.
To make it clear an understanding exists that the "cases" are about the Biden family and the White House staff knew of no other case existing.
Okay, now we are up to 12 people listening to the phone call. All were policy officials and duty officers in the White House. The staff believed this would be just another call to a foreign leader and there was no listening restricts in place. Those listening to the phone call also included a State Department official, Mr. T. Ulrich Brechbuhl. The Whistleblower had no knowledge of anyone that may have been with President Trump in the Oval Office. Also noted is a fairly good distribution list for the transcript of the call to the State Department and Intelligence Community.
