resident Donald Trump was incredulous Tuesday as he sat in Trump Tower and watched House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announce she was launching a formal impeachment inquiry against him, sources familiar with the moment say. Sitting in the same building where he launched his long shot presidential campaign four years ago, Trump said he couldn't believe it, he later told people.

He had felt confident after phoning Pelosi earlier that morning. The drive for impeachment in her caucus had ramped up amid reports he pushed the Ukrainian President to investigate Joe Biden, and Trump was hoping to head off a clash. He figured he could de-escalate tensions by speaking with her directly.
It was after that call that Trump made the decision to release an "unredacted" version of the transcript of his July call -- against the advice of aides such as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who warned him it would set a risky precedent. Trump wanted to undercut the argument from Democrats that he acted inappropriately, he said, and felt he had nothing to hide.

But when the announcement he would release the transcript did little to quell the growing calls for his impeachment, Trump was in disbelief.

I mean, if the unredacted phone call has nothing scandalous in it, he has nothing to hide. Considering everything he does is lies, I doubt that's the whole story. But theoretically if the unredacted phone call were released there would be literally no grounds for impeachment.

So why would he be scared? I think we know why.

The whistleblower alleged multiple incidents. This is a single phone call, probably one cherry-picked to be the least incriminating one he made during the time. I can't say I place a lot of value on this transcript.
