Nothing says "drain the swamp" like a 1.5hr-long recording of the president of the United States at an intimate dinner with wealthy super PAC donors hosted at the luxury hotel he still owns and profits from, during which the donors talk about their business and policy priorities.
Trump Ukraine quotes:
“Ukraine has oil?...Why are they so poor?”
“What’s [the ambassador's] name?"
“What do you think, is Russia going to take Ukraine?”
“Ukraine has oil?...Why are they so poor?”
“What’s [the ambassador's] name?"
“What do you think, is Russia going to take Ukraine?”
There's a long conversation about Amazon and the postal service that I look forward to someone dissecting.
At about 1:16:00 Trump complains about ethics rules that don't allow him to have events like this in the White House.
"It's a ridiculous campaign thing, which I think is wrong."
He then praises his hotel.

He then praises his hotel.
At the end, all of the donors at the dinner sign a copy of Teddy Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena" speech.
Someone should find that.
Someone should find that.
Leaving aside the clearly explosive parts of the recording, there are probably two or three dozen throw-away lines in there that don't seem big, but someone's going to put them in context, and they're going to blow up.
