President Trump has just tweeted that he’s releasing the transcript of his phone call with the Ukrainian president from July, fully declassified and unredacted:
I am currently at the United Nations representing our Country, but have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine….

….You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!

Wow. I would think this announcement by Trump would put on hold the announcement of impeachment proceedings Democrats are huffing and puffing about right now.
After all, how could they announce impeachment today knowing that the transcript will be released tomorrow. And who needs the so-called “whistleblower” letter with the actual call being released.
Pelosi is set to hold a hearing today at 5pm so we’ll see if this puts a crimp in her plans.
