Republican source to Erickson: whistleblower report is “credible” and significantly worse than the transcript released today

peaking on background to a Republican congressional source who has direct knowledge of the whistleblower report, he says it is really bad. He says the GOP can attack it as partisan because, in his words, “this is written by someone who does not like the President” but also that “regardless, the whistleblower is credible.”

According to the source, the report “paints a clear path to impeachment” with enough information that Democrats will be able to make appropriate document requests and subpoena witnesses for a focused effort.

“I wasn’t happy with the transcript, but it was Trump. What do you expect? Now we are dealing with something that looks like it could be outside the bounds of acceptable conduct.”

The source said he would not be definite, but it fully opens up a path for a thorough and focused impeachment process.

"opens up a path for a thorough and focused impeachment process."

I want a process that takes in ALL of the potential criminal actions and misdeeds. This guy (and his henchmen) didn't just start being criminals a couple months ago. They came in to office as criminals! It ALL needs to be exposed! From Roger Stone, Wikileaks, the Russians .. and out from it's ugly and corrupt beginnings.
