Late on Wednesday evening, CNN and The Hill and other news outlets confirmed Republican Congressman Chris Stewart’s claim that the whistleblower report had just been declassified. Apparently it’s partially redacted (make of that what you will), and it won’t be publicly released until Thursday morning. As we wait for it, a Republican insider who’s seen the report says it’s a doozy.

We don’t have anything good to say about conservative pundit Erick Erickson. He’s stated a number of opinions that are completely offensive and objectionable. At the same time, he’s proven that he has sources inside the Republican machine. For instance, he announced that Jeb Bush was dropping out of the 2016 race, just a few hours before Jeb shocked everyone by announcing that he was indeed dropping out.

So when Erickson said on Wednesday night that a “Republican congressional source” with direct knowledge of the whistleblower report has told him that it “paints a clear path to impeachment,” we’re inclined to believe that this is accurate. Notably, the source says that the report is so incriminating, it’ll likely make it easy for House Democrats to win their legal battles over impeachment evidence and testimony.

This would help explain why Republican Senator Ben Sasse read the classified version of the whistleblower report on Wednesday evening and then publicly cautioned his GOP colleagues about defending Donald Trump on the matter. It would also explain the petrified look on GOP Senator Mitt Romney’s face after he read the report and then stepped in front of the television cameras. In any case, it sounds like we’ll see a redacted version of the report on Thursday morning.

It's been a tough week, a tough month, a tough year. For all of us. But the fight goes on. Because we know how important this is. Because we care. Because we're the ones who fight. It's you and me. It has been for a decade. And I'm never backing down. But Palmer Report does have operating expenses. And in this uncertain time, I truly need your help. For that reason I've launched the Palmer Report 2025 Operating Expenses Fund. If we can fully fund this, it'll bridge the gap and ensure that Palmer Report can keep fighting now and forever. I'm asking you to contribute what you can to our GoFundMe Page or our PayPal Page, both of which accept debit and credit cards. Thank you.
