This is the same publication that said the ADNI was going to resign and that a "promise" was made by Trump to the Ukraine president.
Hard to take anything they write seriously when it comes to this story.

So this is the GOP spin: gaslighting!

Does anyone know if the server in question has been secured somewhere outside the purview of the White House? Or have they destroyed it by now?

An NSC server? It's not destroyed.

Ouch!

Here come all the leaks:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trump-told-russian-officials-in-2017-he-wasnt-concerned-about-moscows-interference-in-us-election/2019/09/27/b20a8bc8-e159-11e9-b199-f638bf2c340f_story.html

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the U.S. election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.?The comments, which have not been previously reported, were part of a now-infamous meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State. He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the day before had relieved “great pressure” on him.

So, rules applying to whistleblowers in IC were just revised. How convenient.

This is odd. And, this tweet from the reporter.....

I talked to a DNI official and asked when these revisions were made and why. The official said the intelligence community would not comment on anything to do with the anti-Trump whistleblower.

I never mentioned or asked about the anti-Trump whistleblower.

Sounds like an...insurance policy

OMG. This is outrageous. What a fingerprintthough, huh.

The best part is that they specifically changed the rule that says heresay is not acceptable. What a coincidence!

The allegations are true. Deal with it.

IKR! Trump has already confirmed them.

Oh.

Dumb question: is he career or a political appointee?

Not a dumb question. He left in 2009 for the private sector and Tillerson appointed him in 2017, so he looks political. But his background looks like he was career (CIA and State) who became political by joining McCain’s staff.

FYI Fox reported Volker encouraged Giuliani and provided Giuliani with a contact close to the Ukraine President via messages in July.

This has already been posted on this thread somewhere.....

Outside of a court of law, hearsay isn't an important distinction.

But what's your point? Trump and Giuliani between them have corroborated most of the salient points.

Not surprising at all.

Just saw that. Restricted access to the calls and then put them on that server.

What is scary is that if someone with a brain had realized that he was going to shake down Ukraine, they would have locked that call down too.

Of course CNN was saying it was "for political reasons."

It couldn't POSSIBLY have anything to do with the fact that previous sensitive phone calls with heads of states were leaked, could it????????

Not given this corrupt, yet singularly inept, administration.
