Nancy Pelosi To Announce Formal Impeachment Inquiry As Trump Rushes To Release Ukraine Transcript
Under withering pressure to provide Congress with information regarding a controversial phone call with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump said Tuesday he'll release a transcript of the conversation.
"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", the president tweeted, in what amounts to a tacit admission
With no idea what the actual whistleblower complaint is about, other than the parts leaked to the media (by Trump? since his circle are the only ones to have seen it) he has already had over a week to work on his defense, attack the credibility of the whistleblower, and rally his supporters and his party of marionettes. Once again we see how incredibly difficult it can be to hold a corrupt President to account when he controls the Justice department and has the complete fealty of an entire political party.
I wonder if the transcript will be similar to the missing pieces on the Nixon tapes?
Trump’s psyche is neither compartmentalized nor disciplined. Increasing pressure on him on one issue can lead to increasing unpredictability from him on other issues.
