Democrats have released the transcripts of their closed-door depositions which are a major part of the impeachment inquiry. This is big news and what is coming out of the transcripts is also huge. The transcript comes from two officials, former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and State Department official Michael McKinley. Here are 5 fast facts from the transcripts that you need to know:

Note Former Ambassador Yavonovich is a liberal who has conducted herself in a way that is seemingly unprofessional, unethical, and hyperpartisan.

These two are not the only transcripts in existence according to Representative Mark Meadows, Meadows states that the Democrats were only going to release the transcripts that painted Trump in a bad light. There are other testimonies and transcripts that the public has not seen and that might not ever be seen as Democrats are holding them tight to the chest.

2.) Bias?

The two witnesses may have a degree of bias against the President. The first, Marie Yovanovitch, no longer is the ambassador to Ukraine and might be pretty upset about that. The second, Michael McKinley, is a bureaucrat and might be just like Peter Strozk and other bureaucrats who have put stopping Trump before their duty.

3.) Conclusions

The transcripts reveal that a back channel was created between the Ukrainian government and the President or at least that is the spin the Democrats are putting on it. The transcripts bring into question how former Ambassador Yovanovitch was fired and the legitimacy of her firing.

The primary investigation that was brought into question by the Trump administration during the phone call according to the transcripts was an investigation into election interference in 2016, not the Hunter Biden scandal.

4.) More To Come?

Some are speculating that the Democrats will release more transcripts from testimony, later on, testimony that paints Trump in a different light than the ones released today. These allegations, if proven true, would mean the release of today’s transcripts are no more that political posturing meant to give a false sense of transparency in this impeachment operation.

5.) Game Over For Trump?

Democrats are patting themselves on the back and claiming that this is the big break they needed, they are claiming that this is the end for Trump… but that just isn’t the case. Not all the evidence is out and there are still testimonies that need to be delivered and given to the public. This impeachment mess is anything but over, Trump still needs to be given due process and the Democrats actually have to vote to impeach.
