Does anyone believe that Trump will release a complete, unaltered transcript tomorrow? I highly doubt it. Regardless, we need the whistleblower complaint that is required to be released to key congressional committees, because it will put the call in context and provide information on other questionable behavior.

@windinhishair Probably. Reports are, that despite badgering Zelensky about Biden, Trump never brought up the fact that he put a freeze on Ukraine’s aid package a few days before the call (and it’s unclear if Zelensky was even aware of it at this point). So there isn’t going to be a direct quid-pro-quo situation here no matter what.

It’s just kind of obvious wink-wink nudge-nudge, and the optics of all of this are pretty terrible. As they should be.
