He’s repeatedly feigned ignorance about both the complaint and its contents. But in front of the international press on Wednesday, Pompeo was forced to admit what had already become public knowledge the day before: that he was present for the phone call.
That also means that anything Pompeo does to prevent State Department officials from testifying is a direct and overt instance of obstruction, protecting not just Trump but himself too from potential impeachment and criminal charges.

What has the release of the transcript got to do with :
Sunday: Pompeo told Martha Raddatz he had no knowledge of the conversation
Tuesday: Pompeo admits he lied and that he was in on the call
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Trump, Pompeo, Giuliani, Miller, Graham ALL lied.
Trump has appointed his cronies to the Justice Department too. They are just as in on this and in trouble as Trump is.Colbert lit this guy up last night.He’s repeatedly feigned ignorance about both the complaint and its contents.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo finally confirmed that he was on the phone call, days after evading questions about what he knew of the call that has sparked a congressional investigation and an impeachment inquiry.
"I was on the phone call," he said during a news conference in Rome on Wednesday.
During the call, Trump repeatedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to work with Rudy Giuliani to investigate his political opponents, which was part of the basis for a whistle-blower complaint from a U.S. intelligence official.
Pompeo had previously dodged questions about the call. On ABC's "This Week" on Sept. 22 he told co-anchor Martha Raddatz, "You just gave me a report about a whistle-blower complaint, none of which I've seen." During a press conference at the U.N. General Assembly last Thursday, he said he had only read "the first couple of paragraphs" of the complaint, which had been released that day.
The Wall Street Journal on Monday first reported he was on the call.
This is why Republicans hate the media or press. It tells on them. Thank god for our free media. Without it we'd be Russia.

Ok, again, Pompeo was on the phone call....
"Lost amid the cacophony of condemnation of Trump is the fact that the Criminal Division of the Justice Department examined the official record of the Trump-Zelensky telephone call and concluded there was no crime, not even a violation of campaign finance laws. “All relevant components of the Department agreed with this legal conclusion,” said the Justice Department."

Yea yea yea, no quid pro quo.

They could ask for a sworn affidavit to the facts?Why not just ask the Prime Minister of Ukraine to come testify? Seems a simple enough solution . . .
Probably because the House Of Representatives doesn't want to be told to "Go Fuck Yourselves" by a foreign leader, it's rather embarrassing for the Congress Critters when shit like that happens.
If you were a foreign leader would you cooperate with the douche bags in the U.S. Congress and place yourself in the middle of this internecine partisan conflict? It's all potential downside and no upside.
Heck, I'm a U.S. Citizen and I'd tell Congress to go fuck themselves if they presented me with such a request.
That's true.
OTH, if I were the POTUS of the U.S., and I thought the President of the Ukrain either had a secretary or a someone who was transcribbing the converstation on their end?
I might cordially request their transcription if they have one as a secondary cross check on the facts.
. . . I, personally, am only ever interested in the facts.
