The Trump-Zelensky transcript is out and and it showed no impeachable offenses such as quid pro quo with Ukraine in an “aid for Biden dirt” trade. But as far as Democrats and most in mainstream media are concerned, the transcript is just enough to form their narrative lies that would justify impeaching President Trump if true. It may not have been the smoking gun they’d hoped to see, but it has just enough tidbits of information for the left to torture into saying what they want them to say.
They need impeachment. President Trump has a huge upper hand for the 2020 election right now and if Democrats are unable to remove him from office through impeachment, it seems unlikely they’ll be stop seeing him at all until his second term is complete.
As a result, they’ve taken themselves to a new collective low. Democratic lawmakers and their lapdogs in mainstream media are shifting, torturing, and otherwise manipulating the narrative through complete and utter deceit in an effort to confuse as many Americans as they can. They know the truth about any wrongdoing from the President in regards to Ukraine is so minuscule, they can’t afford to tell it like it is. They have to tell it like they wish it actually was.
Here are three talking points, better known as narrative lies, the left is using to keep their hopes of a fruitful and popular impeachment process alive for as long as possible.
Trump said this… and later he said this
The good old use of ellipses in journalism. Properly used, they condense a long statement with superfluous words into a single point that’s easy to understand by eliminating the words in the middle. But Democrats and the media are taking it much farther than ever intended, eliminating entire paragraphs so they can yield on statement from disparate parts of the conversation.
“I would like you to do us a favor… There’s a lot talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great.”
This sounds damning until you consider there are nearly four entire paragraphs omitted by the ellipses. The favor the President asked about was looking into CrowdStrike. Later, he mentioned Biden’s son. Of course, anyone who gets their news from progressive outlets like CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC, or the NY Times will not realize these were completely different aspects of the conversation being merged to make it look like a quid pro quo.
For an example of this deception, we turn to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
"I would like you to do us a favor…”
Folks, I am surprised the White House even released this transcript. It’s worse than we thought.
The President sought to use the powers of the United States government to investigate a political opponent.

This is disingenuous at best. At worst, it’s an attempt to appeal to her flock in hopes none of them actually read the transcript. This is very possible as her supporters tend to go with what she says rather than independently investigate it. If she says President Trump did something bad, her supporters will never question it.
Neither will progressive media…
This is one of the most deceptive pieces of reporting I have ever seen. Literally.@KatyTurNBC, you're better than this.

The transcript was just notes
This is one of the cleverest attempts at manipulation because it plants the seed of doubt that what the transcript says isn’t the whole conversation. It is, though. This was verified by the two non-partisan CIA transcribers who participated in the call.
Some are outright saying it’s not a real transcript, juts notes that get the gist. Others are taking it a little more cautiously, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren who used “scare quotes” to express her doubts about it being a transcript.
The president admitted it.
The "transcript" confirms it.
Donald Trump continues to commit crimes from the Oval Office, and the Justice Department refuses to hold him accountable. Now it’s on Congress to act. No one is above the law—not even the president.

As a bonus addendum to this particular narrative lie, Warren’s two Tweets about the transcript mention crimes without pointing out what was done and which laws were broken. This has been a common tactic from the left ever since “collusion” was debunked, at which point they switched to generic wrongdoing in hopes nobody would ever ask them for specifics.
Ever.
The mafia shakedown narrative
It’s hilarious (and quite scary if you think about it) watching the efficiency through which the Democratic Party and mainstream media can square their narratives. They exchange talking points in ways Republicans have never really learned to master. In regards to the phone call with Zelensky, they came up with the “mafia shakedown” narrative to get people reading it like a strongman walking into the store and offering “protection” in exchange for cash. The cash in this case was information about Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and his cozy employment (at $50K per month) with a corrupt Ukrainian firm.
Representative Adam Schiff gave us a direct example of the narrative, and it has been repeated by most guests and hosts on progressive media shows ever since. Even Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have their own variations of the mafia theme.
The transcript of the call reads like a classic mob shakedown:
– We do a lot for Ukraine
– There’s not much reciprocity
– I have a favor to ask
– Investigate my opponent
– My people will be in touchNice country you got there.
It would be a shame if something happened to her.

This is an important narrative lie for them to push because it allows them to conflate different components of the transcript into one overarching shakedown motif. Schiff’s Tweet so beautifully illustrates this, it’s hard to believe he came up with it himself.
If the Democrats didn’t have lies, they’d have nothing to say at all. If they didn’t have impeachment, they’d have nothing they’d be willing to do. Unfortunately for them, the American people want two things: The truth and for them to do their real jobs.
