Because without tapes, this shit ain't gonna fly. It's just another TV show to compete with Brexit for ratings.
In Watergate, we had tapes, not just bullshit "testimony". And people were caught in the act, by real policemen. So far all we have are a bunch of blabbermouths. I certainly hope there is something real to hang 'em with, but the ineptitude is so overwhelming, and given history of the Party, it's not just rope-a-dope.
And this "whistleblower"? please! Goddamn cops tell us, "If you see something, SAY something!" So what's up, ya bastard? If you have solid proof, out with it, pronto! You hear about real heroes falling on the grenade, now it's your turn.
Eh, like I said in ol' boy's journal, the dems will tread lightly, or collateral damage will be severe in discovery. Actually, probably not. People just don't care how crooked they are anymore. As long as their guy wins... That rule applies equally to both sides of the imaginary line.
*sigh* All this bullshit and the republican/democrat party will still receive 95% of the vote next year, and of course the pissing and moaning will never cease.
And a shout out to the morons (no offense to morons) who want to believe I advocate not voting! Love you all!

From what I read they do not record the calls but have agents taking notes. It doesn't matter because Trump's own transcriot shows him trading favors for political leverage over his domestic rival.
Now we're going to be given the stupid treatment, "The POUTS didn't mean what those words he said mean, of course the military aid would be sent and in no way hinged on them investigating Biden." His excuse is that he is merely investigating a crime and idiots lap those lies right up. Once again we have crimes committed, attempted cover ups, then admitted by Trump.
Thankfully his bluff was finally called! Now we get to see how far the GOP corruption is willing to sink. Enough for even khallow to get woken up?

Also, "transcript" since the WH memo is not even the agent's notes but Trump's crafted BS. Seriously, how many times must they blatantly lie before conservatives get tired of it?

Yep, it should be illegal for the only people powerful enough to investigate the elite to do it because that would be "political leverage". You are getting the government you ask for.

No, YOU got the gov you asked for. The US president does not pursue these matters personally, they leave such matters up to, I dunno, the Federal Bureu of Investigation? You can only twist reality so far before your lame excuses become ludicrous. They have always been laughae, but with a corrupt DOJ and Senate there isn't much that can get done.

By the constitution, the president has the entire executive branch vested in his person. The president delegates authority to organizations he creates, but he remains the boss of the whole org.

Everything will play out exactly as I say. Not as you say. It is already beginning. Biden's purpose to entrapt trump was served in this scheme and so will lose the lead and drop out of the race.

Huh, I hadn't thought of it like that, that Biden was being used as Trump bait. It doesn't seem like that from here honestly. Seems more like one swamp monster against another one.

1. Biden (et al... and he was hardly the first author of this act) committed treason/sedition
2. Trump was bound to investigate it
3. Get Biden to run (he was the most suitable dirty one being former vice pres... despite being obviously senile)
4. Accuse Trump of trading favors to beat "political adversaries" once he starts looking into Biden's crimes
That is pretty much it. The rest is about the timing, etc.

If this ruins them both, that's fine with me. Whoever loses, we win, but we win much harder if they both lose. Maybe they can share a hotel room in Hell and save on the costs.

Here you go, they are already leaking the "whistleblower" name: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/26/us/politics/who-is-whistleblower.html [nytimes.com]
So another angle here seems to be to discredit/discourage whistleblowers. And you are rooting it on.
