Yowza! I just heard, but I can’t bury my head in the news till after this unfortunately busy workday. But this is exactly the news I’ve been waiting to hear— minus the “could”, of course. ^~ If he can get the whistleblower in there, the complaint should come with, and the transcript.

Y’know what? Let’s split the difference— let’s bet that we get a Special Edition Barr Summary[tm] of the transcript. xD

Yes!! Excellent point— one I’m sure has gotten buried in all this mess. If the nat-sec operators are on board, AND they all seemed to jump on board at once like that, that means Schiff has something heavy for Pelosi to use.

It was SO gross. And lame. And bad.

“in the months after her adoption”

I thought she was waiting for more support, for her caucus to finally change their minds, i.e. these 12 dems that just hopped up on the impeachment train.

Lol no. The impeachment show should be peaking right during the 2020 election season. Say, next summertime. Trump will try to wish it away, but it ain’t going away. You think the country will accidentally forget to impeach him? snrk.

Exactly— the transcript isn’t the main act, the whistleblower complaint is. And Adam Schiff & Co. are working on getting that shit settled right now.

Naaah, he’ll never do it. He’ll keep saying “I’d love to release the transcript.” “I’m looking forward to releasing the transcript,” he’ll say. “I hope to release the transcript very soon,” he’ll say. “I’ll be happy to release the transcript as soon as you open another DOJ investigation into Hillary Clinton’s…

Aha, so I guess she WAS just waiting for the stampede to happen. Christ! Well, finally those foot-draggers have hopped on the impeachment wagon and cleared up the issue for her. Trump just handed this to her on a silver platter. Good.

Well, hang in there, we don’t know who’ll get away with what yet-- but no matter what happens, you CAN rest assured that these assholes are stressed right to fuck out, they’re miserable, they want this whole inconvenient matter to just go away, and it’s not going away. As long as they’re miserable, I will always have…

He’s really hoping & praying, really hard, for those tax returns to come out, because y’know, it’s all out of his hands! Yep! There’s always SOME big huge overriding reason that he can’t possibly release the evidence that would “exonerate” him.

I had that same thought. Was she just holding out until the foot-draggers in the caucus started clamoring for impeachment too?

People are even starting to dust off the idea of inherent contempt, to avoid the Republican-favored shitshow of impeachment. Whatever they figure out, I hope it’ll work, yes, and I hope it can be implemented fast.

I had that thought too, haha. “Wait— is he confusing Ukraine with NATO?”

Moscow Mitch & Co. are gnashing their little molars about this, all right; scrambling to contain the political fallout (I like the way TheHill phrased it) from Trump’s every word about the whistleblower scandal is a full-time job for the GOP. They sound tired. And would it kill them to smile a little more?

I’m pretty sure Pence has that recurring dream, too.

“Pay their share”? Of exactly what the fuck? Other countries need to pay their share of US military aid to Ukraine?? That’s a wild pitch. He must be getting desperate. Oh, wait, yes, indeed, I can see the fear in the white-knuckled clutch he’s got on Malaria’s hand in that pic.

*salutes*

Exactly.... Everyone’s wise to this tell already, so nobody is expecting HIM to lift a finger. Just let Adam Schiff get on with dragging it out of Maguire et al.
