(Trump and his enablers) have no scruples and understand that the American public is easily swayed into almost anything. Unless there is an actual recording of the conversation I would think the whistle-blower complaint is what should be the focus of the investigation. I do not think many people will change their mind regardless.

so I'm not sweating yet. The next two days are important, though. He might think he can block the whistleblower's complaint from being made public. Could he have a plan? Yes.

I can't wait to see the supposed transcript. It will show us just how dumb Traitor Trump thinks we are.

I hope no one has forgotten the VP's involvement in blackmailing Ukraine.

And creating a "transcript"? It's not like there is really a serious transcriber who was present. Hey, remember that ? When the transcriber who had worked for Obama quit saying it was effed up now.

The whole process of creating transcription of these calls was explained on Morning Joe. They are not 'word for word' transcriptions. They are captures of the salient points of the conversations. And the trump* cartel handing over a transcript of a document that can easily have been altered makes it pretty much meaningless. IMHO, of course. I trust nothing from anyone connected to him.

The testimony, under oath, of the whistle blower is what's important.

And they will compare what the whistle blower says to what they have already reported, to look for discrepancies. When one is lying, it can be VERY difficult to remain credible and consistent.

Why would someone lie, putting their entire career on the line? I know you can get really conspiratorial and say maybe 'powers that be' are planning on giving someone a huge payoff to lie, and set up the Democrats, but lying under oath to a congressional committee would seem to be a risk that outweighs any hopeful monetary or philosophical/political benefits.

take his short-term posturing as anything other than a part of his game.

You just can't estimate much when you know that he is both a proven liar and a veteran manipulator.

Poker face. Used car salesman doing the daily act.
