Whistleblower complaint released

[Anonymous]

“I served under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and worked for four advisers on the National Security Council’s staff. I have staffed presidential meetings and phone calls with foreign leaders and spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours in the White House Situation Room. It is difficult to overstate just how abnormal and suspicious treating the call in that manner would be. It strongly suggests White House staff knew of serious wrongdoing by the president and attempted to bury it — a profound abuse of classified systems for political, and possibly criminal, purposes.”

And yet, the reported conversation matched the release of the White House in tone and substance. So you are more concerned about a perceived rule change than the actual substance of a mob-like shakedown by the president of the united states.

I think we can put both the "heresay" thing and the "Whistleblower rules" thing to bed.

Strange that Trump tried to sell these all weekend.

These are arguments, not facts.

The whistle blower complaint was clearly written by his attorneys, not by the whistle blower.

It doesn't matter. Nothing about the whistle blower matters at this point, because the White House transcript confirms the story.

Right. And thinks that only lawyers can write well.

WASHINGTON — “A government watchdog group asked a federal judge on Tuesday to issue an emergency order requiring the White House to preserve records of all of President Donald Trump’s calls with foreign leaders.

At a court hearing later in the day, a Justice Department lawyer told the judge that she couldn’t immediately commit to assuring that the administration would preserve records of all of Trump’s conversations, as well as other records about how the administration had handled those documents. The judge gave the government until Wednesday afternoon to make a decision.”

I love his non-answer to whether he thought the call was improper. Not yes or no, but this:

"I'd been a secretary of state for coming on a year and a half. I know precisely what the American policy is with respect to Ukraine. It's been remarkably consistent, and we will continue to try to drive those set of outcomes," Pompeo said.

Senate Foreign Relations has sent a letter to Rick Perry asking him what happened at Zelensky’s inauguration.
