people calling for impeachment but also not launching an all-out assault on the presidency. tucker: it s still a dismembered baby though, i mean sorry. that in the end will be embarrassing. you announce impeachment, but then you don tn impeach, and is hard to see how pelosi wins or how anyone but donald trump wins. remember president trump could have released the transcript last week. he could have released the whistle-blower complaint and could have released the ig report a week ago and avoided all of it. tucker: don t let me i don t actually know if he could have released the whistle-blower complaint. there is some debate as to whether that s true or not. he could have said it,
