I'm not even joking.

slow keeps buying fur coats and wedding presents for Wayne's family with his own money, so I'm sure he'd be first in line to start shoveling money towards Trump for this.

Interesting... I wonder if this prompted POTUS to release the transcript. I think we’re about to see another Bill Barr “get ahead of the narrative” move...

That is exactly what we are about to see. I strongly suspect that they will try and delay the whistleblower's testimony as long as possible in order to set the narrative as much as possible. Then I suspect he will demand that much of the whistleblower's testimony be kept secret.

Trump will not be impeached. This is just more drama from the left.

There’s a difference between “impeached” and “removed from office”. There is a 0% chance the Senate carries out impeachment and removes Trump, so thank you Capt. Obvious.

I would have said 3 days ago there was a good chance an impeachment vote in the House might still fail, hence Pelosi’s reluctance to even entertain that idea. Dems launching an inquiry and failing to impeach themselves would be the greatest gift to Trump’s campaign. While there is still a probability of that happening, it looks much less likely now.

But Dems are known to be fickle creatures when it comes to the political calculus for impeachment. If Trumpsters can organize enough anti-impeachment sentiment in their districts, there may be some waffling before the actual vote.

It's possible that Pelosi is going to say that there's no impeachment inquiry (the first step in the process of impeachment) at 5 pm today. Would you like to lay money down, real US dollars on that being the case?

I am really looking forward to Trump releasing a misleading transcript (yes he said it will be unedited but he lies about everything) and then Slow and others coming in here saying 'see?? He did nothing wrong! FAKE NEWS!' only for it to come out shortly thereafter that yes, he was lying about that too.

If they do start a formal inquiry, the only way they can really get away without impeaching him is to drag the inquiry out past the election. Now, that's a long way from saying he'd be convicted in the Senate. But it would be politically catastrophic for them to start a Democrat-lead inquiry and then walk away from it.

I actually think the transcript by itself might be inconclusive, which is why team Trump is promising to release it.

But, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump uses Pelosi’s impeachment press conference as an excuse to renege on releasing the transcript. “Because the horrible Democrats are hell bent on taking me down, despite our cooperation, I have no choice but to exercise privilege and refuse to give in!”

Hell, remember when the Carter Page surveillance warrant documents were released and they tried to claim victory even though what they released completely contradicted their claims? I'm pretty sure Trump could release and completely straight-forward, completely damning transcript and they'd *still* claim it was a total exoneration.

Which isn't to say that I don't think you're 100% correct about what Trump and Co. will do.

Formal inquiry. Inquiry. Nothing will happen lol. It’ll be just like Mueller. The plan of the Dems is to keep him under constant pressure until Election Day, not to actually remove him from office. Y’all dont get your hopes up on anything beyond more than theatrics
