the "transcript" will be like barr's "summary" of the mueller report.
Here's what probably would have happened, which is why I think this is the right move by Pelosi:
1) I'll give ya the whole unedited transcript tomorrow
2) Barr releases a 'summary' of the call - outcry ensues
3) Barr releases 'redacted copy' of the call - outcry ensues
4) Barr then basically says, 'You're gonna have to go to court to get the actual transcript.'
Pelosi cut that off at the starting point, and there was a sound reason for it.
FTR: we can debate and back and forth, and I'm one of those of the view that impeachment is a very serious thing - as is obstruction of justice by the head of the Executive Branch. So I actually would have been in favor of this if we had clear cut OOJ in the Mueller investigation (note: I did not read the report so maybe it was there), then impeach him.
In this particular case, there is literally no gray area. The President of the United States asked a foreign government to interfere in an election in order to help him maintain power. As more than one conservative has said, "If that's not an impeachable offense, nothing is."
