Various reports on Twitter that CNN reporting it will not be released tonight.

Here is one of the tweets I saw about it.

#Breaking: Two sources confirm to CNN that the whistleblower's report concerning @realdonaldtrump’s phone conversations with the Ukrainian president, has been declassified. However, the report will not be released at least until Thursday morning.

Just saw this on MSNBC. Decided it was worth staying up 15 minutes to see if its leaked earlier.

Maybe we are all just in a state of shock that we are at this point. I expected to want to open up champagne if impeachment were ever to occur and now that it very well could, it still doesn’t feel real.

Or maybe Rachel did just learn her lesson from the tax return flop.

I feel like it’s really difficult to be excited. We’ve seen him get away with so much, that it seems like he’ll just keep getting away with it. It’s like everyone is just holding their breath right now, afraid that we’ll jinx it if we voice our excitement. But I agree. I would like Maddow to be more excited.

And the likelihood is that he will continue to get away with it. Even if the House successfully launches an impeachment inquiry, it’s very unlikely that a trial in the Senate will go anywhere. Not only that, but we’ve been told all along that an impeachment process is politically risky and with the election just over a year away, there’s a lot at stake if the Dems fumble this.

It was fun to fantasize about but now that it’s here, it’s sobering. And the only way out of it is a hope and a prayer that enough voters in Pennsylvania, and Florida, and Wisconsin, and Ohio will somehow do the right thing.

I’m not trying to be negative. The idea of a black mark on this narcissist’s legacy makes me gleeful. But it’s way, way too soon for champagne.
