House Republicans keep moving the goalposts in their attacks on the impeachment inquiry process.

The House Intelligence Committee on Monday began releasing transcripts from the closed-door depositions in the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, an important step as the probe nears its public phase.

But Republicans, who have been demanding that Democrats hold the inquiry in public, were not satisfied with the transcript releases, even after calling on the transcripts to be released last week, once again moving the goalposts of their process complaints with the impeachment probe.

"Democrats cherry pick which transcripts they release and when," Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), one of Trump's top defenders on Capitol Hill, tweeted. "Why not release Ambassador Volker's testimony? He was the very first witness to testify!"

Volker's testimony will be released on Tuesday, with more transcripts to come after that. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, set a five-day timeline for the rest of the transcripts to be released.
