Trump continues to threaten and meddle with the whistleblower:
https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1177579380819845120 Rightwing media take the cue to threaten the whistleblower: Geraldo: “I want to beat up that rotten snitch” - https://www.mediaite.com/tv/geraldo-rivera-says-hed-like-to-beat-up-rotten-snitch-whistleblower-for-trump/ |
Except they filed twice. Only when the first filing was turned over to the White House did the complaint then go through the whistleblower protocol. |
Do they hear themselves? What went wrong in their childhoods that they are so broken? Sigh. |
“The White House acknowledged Friday that administration officials directed a now-infamous Ukraine call transcript be filed in a highly classified system.”

Thanks for the great explanation. It can be hard to keep all of this straight. |
Let's understand where the whole 'crowdstrike" thing came from https://twitter.com/oneunderscore__/status/1177635600389857284 |
The whistle blower is not a whistleblower. Everybody good on that or does someone need an explanation?
And because he/she isn’t a whistleblower, it’s time to release the name. |
Two Trump appointees disagree. |
Is this sarcasm? |
More like idiocy. |
For the record, we have no idea what Trump said about crowdstrike. That part was ellipsised on the released summary transcript. |
The person is still a whistleblower in need of protection against retaliation. That the WH already knows their name because they trusted the CIA GC makes it all the more important that they are protected. |
It's nice they're not obstructing, for a change. |
Why are you saying this? The whistle-blower filed a formal "whistle-blowing" complaint, and therefore is considered as such and has legal protections, such as they are. |
No one actually admitted it. Just "a senior White House official". |
