It's happening. Dems are going down.
The packet was apparently given to Pompeo this spring in an attempt to undermine the US Ambassador to Ukraine. It was then passed along to the IG in May, raising questions as to why this was presented as "urgent" now.
Amber Athey @amber_athey · 54m Sources say some of the articles in the packet were from The Hill's John Solomon, who has written extensively about Ukraine (and particularly Democratic involvement there). Amber Athey @amber_athey · 53m This also undercuts the reporting of other outlets, who claim the briefing today was going to be about retaliation against State employees who cooperated with Dems impeachment investigation.

52m To summarize: Dems went into the briefing expecting impeachable information. Came out with articles (which they call conspiracy theories) about their own party's connections to and pressure on Ukraine. Brutal. https://twitter.com/amber_athey/status/1179520588056014850
Another option is that some of the State employees have stated that they want to be able to discuss this information when deposed but it has to be briefed to congress and declassified where possible. Resisting the resistance?
