This is why the GOP Senators want to hurry this trial. They know more shit is going to come out, but if they can acquit Trump before it all becomes public, they'll have a thin, if transparent, excuse for acquitting him ("we didn't know at the time"), rather than no excuse at all but still doing it. Because, they're going to acquit him, no matter what.Austin Evers, the executive director of American Oversight [who obtained the "heavily redacted" documents], tells me the group will be negotiating with the White House budget office about getting some redactions lifted, and if it doesn’t sufficiently comply, it’s back into court. It’s perfectly plausible, though hardly guaranteed, that a ruling may lift many redactions in the next few months.
One can envision numerous possibilities emerging from those documents. For instance, it’s plausible that the redactions cover up internal conversations, or additional concerns, about Trump’s rationale for freezing the aid.

What’s more, American Oversight is suing for still more documents. According to the group, two new batches are due from the State Department in February. Those requests concern, among other things, communications to and from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other top officials regarding Trump lawyer Rudolph Giuliani’s escapades in Ukraine to unearth dirt smearing Joe Biden.

The point is that it’s very likely that more incriminating information will indeed come out.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
