Schumer warns Intel officials that Trump could expose whistleblower
The Hill ^ | 10/21/19 | Jordain Carney

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is warning top intelligence community officials that President Trump could expose a whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry.

Schumer sent a letter to Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire and Inspector General Michael Atkinson on Monday saying he's "concerned" Trump might disclose the individual's identity and wants to know what steps are being taken to protect the person.

"In light of the President’s ill-advised statements, his lack of respect for the rule of law and his well-documented habit of condoning violence by his supporters, I am concerned that he may disclose the whistleblower’s identity or cause it to be disclosed by others in the Administration," Schumer wrote in the letter.

Trump and his allies have repeatedly lashed out at the whistleblower, who filed a complaint tied to Trump pushing the Ukraine government to investigate the Bidens and the administration's decision to delay aid to the country.

Schumer's letter, which was first reported by Politico, comes shortly after Trump used a Cabinet meeting to double down on his demand that the whistleblower be publicly identified.

Seems that Schitt already outed him when both he and the whistleblower lied about their contact BEFORE the whistleblower filed their complaint.

To this date, we do not know when the initial contact occurred....and that's a key missing date.

Push it dems, in this country and under our constitution Trump has a right to face his accusers.

You have to ask what do the Intelligence communities have on Chuck?

Isn't Chuck the guy that warned Trump not to mess with the intelligence agencies?

“.....“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow......”

I guess that the Deep State owns Chuck. I wonder how much time he spent with Epstein or what else he has done? Wasn't Chuck that Senior guy who taught Anthony Weiner the ropes of WA DC?

They have to find the whistleblower first, before he can be exposed. They have to find a stand-in, if he wasn’t a “composite” like Obama’s autobiographical girlfriends. That is, a fiction created or solicited to support a pre-written impeachment lawyer brief.

“his lack of respect for the rule of law and his well-documented habit of condoning violence by his supporters, I am concerned that he may disclose”. ................... REALLY? What act of violence has any of his “real/true” supporters committed outside of defending themselves from the violent agitators of the left? Chuckie is a complete A-hole, just another shyster from NYC. Why they insist of sending the Ambulance chasers to Congress is beyond me. I guess its the best that they have?

Death within 24 hours by suicide would hardly be a surprise.

Can you say "Fort Marcy Park"?

“The whistleblower’s COMPLAINT was written by Adam Schiff because HE is the whistleblower.”

Of course he is.

No, no, that would be “former and current congressional aides”.

The FEAR in Schumer’s tone, tells me that...

The whistleblower might be Schumer himself.

Schumer and Schiff and Nancy are some of the ‘few’ who have access to Trump’s inner circle.

There is nothing that precludes a “Whistelblower” from being criminally charged for federal felonies. In genuine, legitimate cases of whistleblowing, protections are in place to prevent supervisors from retaliating, or by passing over for promotion, or getting them fired. None of that stuff applies here, the entire thing is just a hoax, everybody knows it, just mental masturbation on their part. The Democrats are losing what little support they had.

The original whistleleaker is said to be Eric Ciaramella, the guy in the red box.

(About the woman on the right in the white ...)

Mom would have said, “I hope your face doesn’t freeze like that!”
