Too bad there is no transcript of that call.

There is a mythical write-up of that call.

It's a memo hobbled together by Trump's attorneys that says exactly what he wants it to say - not what was actually said.

I'd guess his babysitters just print off the ones the ones that are most flattering and give those to him, to keep him pacified. On second thought, they probably read them to him. I am not convinced that he is a very good reader.

The Saturday Night Massacre is the name popularly applied to the series of events that took place in the United States on the evening of Saturday, October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal. U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox; Richardson refused and resigned effective immediately. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; Ruckelshaus refused, and also resigned. Nixon then ordered the third-most-senior official at the Justice Department, Solicitor General Robert Bork, to fire Cox. Bork considered resigning, but instead carried out the dismissal as Nixon asked.

Was it perfect?

You know, back when you wanted Poroshenko to announce a Biden investigation back before your perfect call to Zelensky. Remember now?
