As Democrats stand ready to announce an impeachment inquiry, Trump appears to be ready to cut them off at the knees.
While the Democrats surely thought they would have to fight this out in court, Trump has announced he is approving the release of his phone call with Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelensky.
….You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!

Pushing for Impeachment
It has been widely reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is about to support an impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump.
At the heart of the movement is the very phone call to which Trump mentioned in his tweet.
The conversation came to light via a whistleblower report that Trump had withheld military aid to the Ukraine because he wanted the Ukraine to investigate Biden for something he did while VP.
Biden has actually bragged about it on the campaign trail… how he refused to give the Ukraine an aid package unless they fired a prosecutor that was investigating his son’s company.
Oddly enough, the Biden circumstances, which are fact, are not even being considered for investigation by the Democrats on Biden’s word that prosecutor was corrupt.
Instead, they are using the account by the whistleblower to put even more pressure on Pelosi to move forward.
No Quid Pro Quo
Trump has denied he did anything wrong from day one, but Dems are eating up every word the whistleblower is offering up.
The problem, though, is the whistleblower had no firsthand knowledge of the call and has not even seen the transcript.
This is nothing more than water cooler gossip at this point.
Honestly, it would not be a surprise to find out somewhere down the road the story was planted to expose a leak in the administration.
As the media waits for Pelosi to announce the impeachment inquiry, Trump stole their steam and announced he is going to declassify the conversation and provide the transcript.
Unlike Biden forcing the Ukraine to give him something in return, though, Trump stated in an earlier interview the only reason the aid package was held back was that he wanted more countries to pony up money to help Ukraine’s military.
If Trump follows through and releases these transcripts, which is still not a given, and they do not have anything incriminating, the Democrats are going to have about a dozen eggs on their face for pushing this story so forcefully on the American people.
As far as the transcript coming out, even though Trump said he is going to release them, the DOJ may have something to say about that, so let’s just hold on a bit and wait until it actually comes out before celebrating too much as to the demise of the Democrat party.
