19 MINUTES

I am not seeing a lot of discussion on this, not enough anyway. It should be front and center. They cherry picked the tamest parts of the 30 minute call in their released 11 minutes. 19 minutes of really bad stuff, and it's likely we will never see it if we don't step it up.

Odds are that the second whistleblower will be able to describe what might be missing from the written summary of the call and Schiff et all will have to run with that info.

You shouldn't be able to avoid seeing it, all over! It is the key, especially considering the inquiry is so narrow. We'll likely not see those 19 minutes. Shiff is doing great and I know he is on it, but I fear the 19 minutes is already toast.

have the standing to file lawsuits or anything else.

Schiff et all have already gone to court to demand Trump admin maintain all recorded and printed records of overseas conversations. Could they have already destroyed them? Perhaps, but the top secret system they used will burn them because it maintains logs that they can not destroy. And, the Federal District Court in DC granted that court order already.

get the entire transcript. Beyond that, there's not much to say. They will either get it or they won't. If they don't, it will become part of the impeachment.

We don't know what the entire transcript says, so we can't really talk about that very well. What would you have us do?

given translation time.

Do you have a link that asserts that the transcript is edited?
