Republicans believe Trump made a 'huge mistake' releasing transcript

As of yesterday, Romney wasn’t the only congressional Republican with concerns. The Washington Post reported overnight on new fissures in the GOP’s wall.

Several Senate Republicans were privately stunned Wednesday and questioned the White House’s judgment after it released a rough transcript of President Trump’s call with the Ukraine president that showed Trump offering the help of the U.S. attorney general to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

One Senate Republican, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly, said the transcript’s release was a “huge mistake” that the GOP now has to confront and defend – while the party argues at the same time that House Democrats are overreaching with their impeachment inquiry of Trump.

he likes to release a small scandal to deflect from the bigger scandal.

This one looks to be blowing up in his face.

what he said on the call the summary documented.

That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

It is telling that his judgement being questioned here is that Trump allowed aspects of the truth to emerge.

Says a lot about the moral compass, assuming there is one, of the Repuke party.

second, the only concern of the GOP is t-rump and many more got caught.

As to National Security - who cares. They got caught is the main theme.
