What happened to the "promise"?
When this story first broke, it was reported that the whistleblower talked about a "promise"?

Did we ever find out what that was about?

Was that in the full transcript?

Who made the "promise" to whom?

Den Senators come out and admit most of the complaint is hearsay...

I would suppose it's the 'whistleblowing' spy promising to lie on the stand to congress.

IMO, this faux-scandal was designed with the expectation that Trump would refuse to release the transcript, except under long and extreme pressure, if at all. And there were very good reasons he should not, as shown by Schiffless' new demands for all transcripts of calls between Trump and Russian leaders demonstrates.

So the (IMO) unexpected quick release of the transcript left the Dems scrambling for a few days until they seem to have settled on a "strategy" of acting as if it said exactly what and everything that it contradicts.

kentuck seems to have missed all this, because he uncritically laps up the BS the MSM feed Progs like him.
