That was nothing compared to the outright assault on the process that was executed by Russia as outlined in the Mueller report. I know, I know...
Vindman, who was on the call,said there was no doubt what trump meant.

The whistleblower was informed of what was going on and brought it to the proper authorities through proper channels.
As far as the memorandum there are people testifying under oath that it is incomplete.
Actually the fact that the Trump administration didn't notify congress of funds being withheld already broke the rules. Nothing was even filled. That already broke foreign policy. Congress approved the funds and Trump withheld them without cause.

Another important detail from Vindman was his recollection about the detail in the phone call record in which Zelenskiy told Trump that prosecutor in the Ukrainian government "will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned."
What Vindman wrote in his notes was that Zelenskiy specified by name the gas company Burisma — the firm that paid Hunter Biden for a time when he had a position on its board.
That detail would confirm the accounts of others in the Ukraine affair, including the account by the intelligence community whistleblower whose complaint set the drama into motion, that Zelenskiy had been primed by other U.S. officials about the need to "play ball" with Trump when the two men spoke.
In short, even though Trump did not say "Burisma," Zelenskiy did — because he already knew what to expect about Trump's request, according to the testimony.
In the official account of the phone call released by the White House, Zelenskiy is described as using the phrase, "the company you mentioned" to Trump.
