Lindsey Graham has given Democrats an ultimatum on releasing Volker’s testimony, and he ain’t messing around:
If House D’s refuse to release full transcript of Volker testimony as requested by Congressman Jordan, it will be an abuse of power.

If this continues, I will call Volker before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify publicly to ensure the full story is told.https://t.co/jNi3KQ3wRB

What he’s referring to is Jim Jordan calling on Schiff today to release the testimony:
“Release the transcript so they can see what Ambassador Volker spent nine hours telling us,” Jordan said. “Where he said there was no quid pro quo, there was no linkage… between security assistance dollars for Ukraine and any type of investigation into anyone in Ukraine or any investigation into the Bidens.
“He was clear about that [and] reinforced exactly what President [Volodymyr] Zelensky said when he said, ‘I was not pushed by the administration,'” he continued. “Adam Schiff won’t release that. Instead, there were 67 pages of text messages. Adam Schiff took a few of those text messages and released them. Release them all.”
Well it looks like Shifty Schiff is gonna have to release it now so everyone can see what Republicans are saying is true. Because I think Graham is serious and if he doesn’t release it soon, I bet we see Volker in a hearing early next week.
