Pelley overread the letter, sure, but he also handed McCarthy his ass on national TV.
To be fair to McCarthy, understands well his job depends on defending Trump to the nth, especially when it is absurd to do so.
Did you read the letter, TSA?

Frightened GOP lawmakers are relying on Trump’s Ukraine talking points because they have no idea what is coming next
GOP lawmakers are so frightened to comment on Donald Trump’s Ukraine bribery scandal that they are sticking strictly to the talking points emailed to them —
as well as Democrats in error —
by the White House so they don’t later find themselves cornered by another revelation.
GOP lawmakers have admitted that they have yet to read the whistleblower report accusing the president of trading aid for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son
“Maybe that’s because the president is doing that — he doesn’t like to read and maybe they’re following his lead.”

These are the most important facts we have:
1. The whistleblower wasn't on the call.
2. The IG didn't read the transcript before acting on the whistleblower complaint.
3. The WH released the transcript—which clearly shows the president did nothing that would be impeachable.
So, to be clear, you're telling me to go with my gut and try to guess a theater that you won't be shooting up.
Former Ukraine prosecutor says he saw no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden
KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s former top law enforcement official says
he repeatedly rebuffed demands by President Trump’s personal lawyer
to investigate Joe Biden and his son, insisting he had seen no evidence of wrongdoing that he could pursue.
In an interview, Yuri Lutsenko said while he was Ukraine’s prosecutor general he told Rudolph W. Giuliani that
he would be happy to cooperate if the FBI or other U.S. authorities began their own investigation of the former vice president and his son Hunter but
insisted they had not broken any Ukrainian laws to his knowledge.

aka, Trash/Julie Annie's WITCH HUNT
Trump’s Ukraine Plotting Has Been Happening in Plain Sight. So Why Didn’t We See It?
It’s not just that there’s a lot to pay attention to.
Except, we did know each of those things.
The president hasn’t been quiet about what he’s up to.
And while we didn’t know many details, much of the hanky-panky has been happening right before our eyes.
Let’s review a few facts.
The president urged an investigation into Ukraine and Democrats back in 2017. He didn’t do it in a secret meeting.
Trump and his allies theorized that Ukrainians had engaged in a kind of bank shot:
They suspected Ukrainians of plotting to help Hillary Clinton by manufacturing evidence against Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort. (There’s no evidence to support that.)
Trump brought up the theory again this April, and he floated getting the Attorney General involved.
“This concept of Ukraine, they’ve been talking about it actually for a long time,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.
“I would certainly defer to the attorney general and we’ll see what he says about it.”
The next month, The New York Times reported that Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, was planning to visit Ukraine to pressure the government to investigate those who helped catch Manafort and to dig into former Vice President Joe Biden.
an even more detailed story on how Giuliani was pushing Ukraine “to discredit the president’s rivals.”
Giuliani was straightforward. “We’re not meddling in an election, we’re meddling in an investigation,”
The president said he had spoken to Giuliani “very briefly” about his plans to pressure Ukraine. “He’s involved with a number of people that are looking into the whole thing because
a lot of very bad, a lot of very bad thingssuch elegance articulation, vocab
took place prior to the election.”
asked Trump whether he would order Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate Biden’s son work in Ukraine.
“Well, I haven’t spoken to him about it. But certainly it is a very big issue and we’ll see what happens,” Trump said, later adding,
“Certainly, it would be an appropriate thing to speak about."
The push to investigate a political opponent’s family.
The prospect of using aid as a cudgel.
It was all in the air.
Vice President Mike Pence was asked directly about it at the beginning of September. “Can you assure Ukraine that the hold-up of that money has absolutely nothing to do with efforts, including by Rudy Giuliani, to try to dig up dirt on the Biden family?” a reporter asked Pence during his visit to Warsaw.
Pence didn’t give a clear answer. But he did say,
“As President Trump had me make clear, we have great concerns about issues of corruption.”

Looks like Trash bet his re-election on the Ukraine stuff slandering Biden out of contention.
But Biden has just been out-financed by Buttigieg
Calling it now the "whistleblower" will never be made public. He is a Cia asset thus will be always protected and hidden.
Ol fashioned Cia coup
Rudy Giuliani rages at Fox News’ Chris Wallace over his Sunday beatdown of Stephen Miller
Wallace’s epic grilling of Miller
did not sit well with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani
Giuliani says that he sent Wallace “a long text”
telling him that he was “disappointed”
in the Fox News host for supposedly “buying” Biden’s explanation for why his actions with regard to Ukraine were not scandalous.

Julie Annie, Where's The Beef (evidence)?
Trash again tweeted today he was looking for Corruption by Biden, which looking is blatantly ILLEGAL
Whatever tickles your taint got.
Stalled aid to Ukraine was a bipartisan, urgent mystery to Congress for months
Congress was at a low simmer for most of this year, CNN reports, over
what had happened to aid to Ukraine that it had authorized, and
that concern and
confusion was bipartisan.
It had appropriated about $400 million in combined military and other aid early in the year that was supposed to have been released starting as early as February.
It wasn't, because Donald Trump was withholding it,
using it as extortion to get Ukraine's new president, Volodymyr Zelensky,
to manufacture dirt against Trump political rival Joe Biden.
A plethora of senators were regularly contacting the Defense Department, Department of State, and White House about the aid—
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and
Republicans Lindsey Graham,
Ron Johnson,
Rob Portman,
as well as Democrats Bob Menendez,
Durbin,
Chris Murphy,
Jeanne Shaheen, and
Richard Blumenthal.
Mick Mulvaney, who emerges at the center of this because of his dual roles as
Office of Management and Budget director and
Trump's actingchief of staff.

So Mulvaney is also guilty in the Ukraine extortion and coverup

If Trash and his mafiya find actual corruption, then just slander away
'I Approved This Message': Trump Releases 2020 Campaign Ad With Completely 'Fabricated' Lie About Biden
A new ad for President Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign is being widely denounced for including a totally "fabricated" lie about Democratic rival Joe Biden
Posted online late Friday night and then pinned to the top of his Twitter account, Trump included the new campaign ad—which flagrantly mischaracterizes a story about former vice president Biden, his son Hunter, and Ukraine from 2015—while declaring, "I am draining the swamp."
the false and misleading claims against Biden and his son are
based on unfounded conspiracy theories circulating within the right-wing echo chamber.
And the president's insistence on spreading them—
given all the available do entation and reporting—appears like
willful deceit on the part of his campaign.
"Not positive," "but I think this is the world's first political ad that brags about committing an impeachable offense."
It's entire premise is a big—and very easily discredited—lie.
James Risen, previously of the New York Times and now with The Intercept, who—back in 2015—was among the first to explore the story involving Biden when he was Vice President, the work of his son Hunter Biden, and a Ukraine gas company.
"It's strange to see
my journalism twisted, perverted, and turned into lies and poisonous propaganda by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and their enablers," wrote Risen in a column on Thursday of this week.
"But that's what has happened to a news story I wrote four years ago."
"Biden did threaten to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees unless Shokin was ousted," he explained.
"But that was because Shokin had blocked serious anti-corruption investigations,
not because he was investigating Burisma."
