but I'll take the word of the Ukraine president

That's a good little sheep. I love how you guys that tend to believe conspiracy theories pick and choose who you'll believe to just fit what you want to be true. Of course he's going to agree with that. That's what you do when you're being "strong armed". You really have to be naive if you can't see that. I also note you left out the "though" word. Nice attempt at trying to misleading others.

That's a very lawyerly look at just one of several connotations of the word "though" in a conversation. There are several others and frankly that's the very definition of the phrase "grasping at straws."

Not sure what there could possibly be wrong with taking the statement of the man supposedly pushed around over the word of Viper1 (anonymous Internet opinionated). It is what it is. Deal with it.

Ukraines president, in his first public comments on the phone call that led to an impeachment inquiry into President Trump, said Wednesday that the call was normal, that nobody pushed me, and that he did not want to become entangled in American elections.

Im sorry, but I dont want to be involved in the democratic elections of U.S.A., said the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking to reporters with Mr. Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

We had, I think, a good phone call, Mr. Zelensky added, referring to a call the leaders had on July 25, which is at the center of the inquiry. It was normal. We spoke about many things. And so, I think, and you read it, that nobody pushed pushed me.

End of subject, right? But you really should go back and look at what Trump asked as "a favor." You'd like us to focus on Biden, sure, but THAT WAS THE FIFTH THING ON HIS LIST.
