Trump has already foiled them, and they don't seem to know it. Sadly, you likely won't get it either, because the commentators who are spot on about this are on your banned list. In this case, Rush Limbaugh.
By Releasing the Transcript, Trump Turned the Tables on Pencil NeckThe whistle blowers for Ukrainegate are irrelevant now, because the transcript is public domain now. Most of the foregoing article is a caustic
ad hominem attack on Schiff that I agree with and you disagree with, so you can spare yourself reading it. However, Limbaugh makes several salient points, which I'll quote to spare you the surrounding vitriol:
1.
Schiff's Credibility: Rush Limbaugh wrote:He has almost, it seems, taken it upon himself to get rid of Trump. He was the champion of the Trump-Russia collusion theory in the House, and he has openly lied so many times about having documented and documentable proof of Trump collusion with Russia.
He has yet to produce it. He doesn’t have it because it doesn’t exist.
...
Now, two years ago Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He said he had “absolute proof beyond circumstantial” that Trump had colluded with the Russians, and he repeated that lie for two solid years every chance he got. ... He repeated the lie from his ranking committee chair on the House Intelligence Committee.
Schiff harmed his credibility by claiming to have evidence of Trump-Russia collusion. He's on tape being punked by Russian comedians purporting to be Russian intelligence guys offering him dirt on Donald Trump, and Schiff was lapping it up. An accuser can't claim it's illegal for Trump to do what he's doing himself. It rings false.
2.
Schiff is a Fact Witness: Schiff was involved with the whistle blowers and their attorney before this stuff went public AND lied about it to the public. Again, he's harmed his own credibility. However, he has also made himself a fact witness, which makes it a conflict of interest for him to proceed against Trump--the same problem that destroyed Rod Rosenstein's credibility.
Rush Limbaugh wrote:Well, I’m gonna turn the table on him. He is now a fact witness in this so-called whistleblower scandal. He was involved in creating the whistleblower’s complaint — and in an abject lie that he himself had to blow his own cover because it was gonna get blown eventually.
As such, this whistleblower will never testify because it was then learned that he didn’t know anything firsthand! He was told these things. Then he prepared his report, his whistleblower report for the inspector general. Well, guess what? None of that’s true, either. Because what was revealed yesterday in the New York Times was that the whistleblower first contacted Adam Schiff, not the inspector general, and that Adam Schiff helped him write whistleblower complaint.
It's another failed coup attempt. It's obviously political. Whistle blowers don't talk to members of congress, secure legal counsel and then file whistle blower complaints. The entire point of whistle blower complaints is to remain anonymous to prevent your chain of command from firing you for reporting on your chain of command. The whole point is not making it public.

Schiff is coordinating with the CIA:Rush Limbaugh wrote:Well, they goofed up, because by telling us the source was the CIA, they told us where to look for the other conspirators at the same time! Everybody was wonder, “Well, well, well, well, who told the whistleblower? If the whistleblower does not have firsthand knowledge of it, then who told him?” A-ha! Now we know. So thank you, New York Times, for outing your operative as a CIA agent. That tells us where to look for the other conspirators in this sordid tale.
Conclusion:
Rush Limbaugh wrote:And people are wondering, “Why would the New York Times do this? Why would the New York Times run a piece undermining Pencil Neck and undermining impeachment?” But if you read the story as I did, you find out that the revelation came directly from Schiff’s spokesman, a guy named Patrick Boland.
The New York Times even says so. Yet everybody seems to have missed that, which makes me think that once Trump unexpectedly, surprisingly released the transcript, Schiff realized all of this was gonna come out. He realized it. Trump releasing that transcript smoked these people. I cannot he hasn’t {sic} this enough. Releasing that transcript blue{sic} up every plan they had made, and it was already implemented. They were lying about what Trump said in the phone call.
They all [thought]{sic}Trump would never release it to protect presidential privacy, that they could then make up what Trump said — and then at the same time get a twofer: Accuse Trump of a cover-up, stonewalling, obstruction. Oh, it was all laid out! It was ready to happen! And Trump blows everything to smithereens by releasing the transcript. So now Schiff and his office know all of this is gonna come cascading out. They had to get in front of it.
Even AOC has moved on already.
Trump Won’t Make the Same Legal Mistake This TimeRush Limbaugh wrote:The AP makes an observation. They say that during the Mueller investigation that cooperation was the wrong way to go because cooperating made them appear to be losing.
...
The AP story is kind of sour grapes because they say the White House has now learned from that mistake, because when they stopped cooperating with Mueller is when they started winning. That’s when they appeared to be going on offense is when they stopped cooperating. So the AP story is (summarized), “This is why the White House is being so obstinate! This is why the White House is treating Pelosi this way, is ’cause they learned during Mueller that it didn’t help them at all to cooperate,” and it didn’t.
...
Sean Davis writes that they just got a copy of Kurt Volker’s testimony before the House yesterday. It directly contradicts the Democrat impeachment narrative. It completely blows it out of the water
...
They’re saying that he confirmed that Trump broke the law, that Trump was asking for corruption to happen and all this — and it’s the exact opposite. His testimony blows every narrative out of the water on impeachment.
Ergo, Biden is getting the shaft BECAUSE of the impeachment push and Trump is now much more skilled at dealing with these investigations and foiling his political adversaries.
Ukrainegate is not at all going the way the Democrats had hoped.
