Rep. Adam Schiff says whistleblower 'would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI'

As Twitchy told you, Donald Trump tweeted this afternoon that he’s authorized the release tomorrow of “the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of [his] phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine.” That may have thrown the Democrats for a loop, but they’re nothing if not tenacious, and at least some of them can still hold out hope of a strong case for impeachment.

I know the whistle-blower testimony is important.

But releasing the transcript was A MAJOR Democrat request for the last few days.

Dems will say this is not enough and they want the whistleblower report. https://t.co/QFaEccgSmy

That does seem to be what’s happening.

Rep. Adam Schiff tweeted that Democrats have been contacted by counsel for the so-called “whistleblower”:

We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so.

We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week.

That’s just the sort of thing to keep the Resistance energized.

Thank you for keeping your eye on the ball and not falling for the White House BS that the transcript is the issue
