We know from Fox News how the Republicans are going to approach this.

According to an article in Fox News, the inspector general has determined that the whistle blower was biased and a supporter of an opposing candidate, and that after talking to the DOJ he was persuaded that it did not meet the legal definition of urgent - whatever the heck that means. There is no way that the Democrats would be acting the way they are if the IG had backed out and decided it wasn't urgent.

2. We are going to hear it straight from his mouth on Thursday.

5. from a script

6. I'm not saying that we know what he is going to say, but whatever it is, it going to come from his

mouth. I doubt that he will say that he is backing out from the complaint.

10. No, he will say he's not allowed to say anything per the attorneys for Barr/drumpf.

He will give out zero information - zero is what I expect. He's & Barr are partners in the cover up and will never divulge anything.

9. I wish. They've never been able to rip anything to sheds before

And I don't expect that to change.
He will lie and refuse to talk, they will warn him and that will be that.

Only if they either arrest him or fine him thousands each day will they get any results.

3. Except that the DNI has no legal standing to make such a determination.

Just like Lewandowski had no right to assert executive privilege.

4. Let's say I stand for decency, moral values, and the rule of law.

By definition, I would:

a) blow the whistle on criminal, treasonous, or unconstitutional conduct of the President; and
b) not support him in his re-election bid because of said conduct, preferring to support some other candidate who better embodies my priorities and values.

Ergo, if I'm a whistleblower on a treasonous politician, of course I'm a "supporter of an opposing candidate." Duh.

7. Not sure, but this could be a trap

Right after Pelosi announces an impeachment inquiry Trump says "release the transcript tomorrow". Something doesn't feel right.....we'll see.

8. So only Trump Toadies can criticise him.

Anyone who doesn't like Trump is biased and can't have a valid complaint.
Uh huh.
