"Remove the transcript from the computer system" where such transcripts are kept.

Note: $400 million aid package paid for by US taxpayers was finally approved when this story started coming out.

That gives Ukraine ONE WEEK to spend the US taxpayer money, wisely it is hoped.

I'm only surprised so many folks (8-12+ by my count) actually heard Trump on what they mistakenly thought was a routine call. By hearing same, some were I'm sure appalled by the quid pro quo and did not expect the follow-up effort to be hidden. Add in Barr, Ghouliani, 2-3 ambassadors, the top level DOJ staff and Trump's lawyers and hell, it must be almost 2 dozen more!

Geez, 25-35 people knew or were involved pre/post the call!
