Very fishy indeed
Now the Senate voted UNANIMOUSLY? to release the whistleblowers testimony
This don't feel right

are finally being taken seriously. So, rather than pulling something, they are capitulating.

That's not going to change the grounds for impeachment however, IMHO. It just makes things easier and it is best to cooperate.

I'm hoping the Dems found a way to do some back channel vetting of the whistle blower and the complaint before going all out...I think it would be too complicated for numnuts to set this whole thing up but you can't trust any dirty a**ed thug...

releasing the DNI report is against the law and with a formal impeachment hearing declared the courts will expedite a ruling to release it to Congress. The jig was up and maybe some of them know what's in it and voting to release it is a way of distancing themselves finally the the orange imposter.
