And yeah, it’s really, really bad. Which only makes me wonder what they left out!
"Transcript" released by Justice Department is not a verbatim transcript – but rather notes and recollections from staff who listened to the phone call https://t.co/SQqru1AVXu pic.twitter.com/jKnTIr0tOn

Another issue no one has raised: How could Barr decide DOJ, and not a Special Counsel, decides this? This is the paradigmatic case for it-involves possible wrongdoing by POTUS +now Barr himself mentioned in the "transcript." SC regs wouldnt say Barr can then take case&clear Pres https://t.co/Pf8C8X7zCG

This is May 1. NYT reported 8 days later that Giuliani was pressuring Ukraine to investigate Biden's son.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Trump and Giuliani already got Barr on board with this Ukraine/Biden scheme to use a Ukraine investigation as a pretext for DOJ by this time. https://t.co/gNOaNVa7an
Zelensky brought up the Russian Sanctions – the days leading up to this call Trump instructed Mulvaney to freeze the aid package.

“Never Trump” Republicans are handing out advice again now that the impeachment inquiry will finally be going forward.
First these Republicans advised the Democrats not to go “too far Left.”
They preferred Joe Biden over Warren and Sanders because Biden is a better philosophical fit for them.
Now the “Never Trump” Republicans want the Democrats to “limit” the impeachment inquiry to “national security matters.”
They also want the face of the Democratic impeachment inquiry to be the 31 ex-CIA, NSA and FBI freshmen House Democrats.
These Republicans——-Bill Crystal, Joe Scarborough, Jennifer Rubin and John Podhoretz to name a few——— are empty vessels lacking all credibility.
The impeachment inquiry should investigate the Ukraine Caper to include Hunter Biden, obstruction of justice, emoluments, campaign contributions, misfeasance and malfeasance in office, and everything else including the kitchen sink connected to Trump.
