The first perfect phone call

Gee, no mention of Devin Nunes' quick quip retort in the Yovanovitch hearing that there were three calls.  Imagine that.

Colonel Vindman declined to comment. A person familiar with White House preparations did not know why language about corruption was included in the news release about the April phone call but said that talking points given to Mr. Trump before the call specifically mentioned corruption and the president chose not to discuss the issue with Mr. Zelensky.

Intentional coverup.

Mr. Trump has argued that the tenor of both phone calls was appropriate, but Colonel Vindman, who listened to both conversations, has told impeachment investigators that Mr. Trump’s tone was noticeably different during the call this summer.

“The tone in the call on the 21st of April was very positive, in my assessment. The call, the tone of the call on July 25 was not,” he told investigators during the closed-door deposition.

“I’m struggling for the words, but it was not a positive call. It was dour,” Colonel Vindman said. “The difference between the calls was apparent.”

Vindman was not responsible for making the final update to the readout, according to a person familiar with his account, who said he recalls that then-press secretary Sarah Sanders held onto the readout before turning it over for public release.

Good old Sarah Sanders comes back around.
