Lets for the sake of argument assume Trump was on the D ticket when he was voted in. Does the exact same shit. Mueller is appointed as special council. All the obstruction/collusion details are the same. You think the report is presented identically. Pelosi et al are bad guys. But so is Mueller for making it easy for them all to shrug.
Congress: We want those transcripts.
Russia: Don’t release the transcripts without our consent.
WH: Welp nothing we can do.
US Americans: That sounds right.
Would Elane Chao’s deadline to submit documents to Oversight have anything to do with McConnell making the statement affirming he’d hold the trial in the Senate?
I think everything would happen the same way, but the D’s would be for impeachment outside of Pelosi having already shrugged off her Constitutional duty. I don’t know why you assume that all Dems are cool with a president breaking the law like this. I’m on the Dem team, but this would not be okay with me.
The continued focus by both the media (e.g., “the latest details on the explosive whistleblower complaint!”) and Team Trump (e.g., “Second hand information!”) is strange.
We know (some of?) what was said on the call. They talk and Trump does crimes. Who cares what a whisteblower said anymore? Even Team Trump would be better off focusing on just trying to spin the conversation as diplomatic negotiations.

Tons of headlines about impeachment on NYT, WaPo, and CNN. Oh what a difference a week and a stupid president makes. Oh wait…
