Funny thing about this, the root of this may be Trump/Guiliani getting punked by loving Lutsenko in a vain attempt to keep his job.

Part of what the whistleblower complaint might show is that the 'transcript' we saw yesterday might be the sanitized version - it would explain the posturing from Trump about what a perfect conversation it was, 'knowing' that what they were going to release would look innocent but also stupidly unaware of how bad it looked anyways.

But it's not perfect. This is what I'm still not understanding. What could possibly be on the original transcript? The transcript we got is wildly damning. It is the smoking gun.

Has anything more been said on the allegations that the Trump team was doing Manafort's bidding to get back at his investigator's in Ukraine? That rabbit hole seems arguably more damning.

It would make more sense if they hosed up and accidentally released the more accurate version yesterday, planning to release the sanitized version.

This too, they might be so loving dense that they don't understand how incriminating the sanitized version is. They're just so used to crimes that they don't recognize criminal activity.

Trump sent Rick Perry to meet with Zelensky until he knew that Z would play ball.

Likely the smartest thing he's ever done. Rick Perry was notorious in Texas for meticulously avoiding any permanent records of his graft and corruption. He'd have people fly/drive from Amarillo to Austin to meet in person and avoid a phone call.

Then he handed it off to Rudy lol.

Direct mentions of withholding aid until the investigation is started probably. It's what their talking points focused on, emphasizing NO DIRECT QUID PRO QUO, so that's probably what's in there.

Every line you can read in the report that's labeled "TS/____" was originally classified at an absolutely insanely high level. Like TOP SECRET/SCI is basically as high as security clearances go. If we had a mole in the Kremlin in 1963 his reports would have been labeled TS/____ too.

He's struggling to get his speech out. He's already slipped up in his quotes and his voice is wavering. He looks pretty uncomfortable.

Schiff buttered him up. He has a good resume and is a career military guy.

News was suggesting he covered it up to get the DNI job full time, so he might be all in on this.

Guess it depends on which way he thinks the wind is blowing.
