Whistle-Blower Is a C.I.A. Officer Who Was Detailed to the White House

NYTIMES ^ | 09/26/2019

[Presbyterian Reporter]

He is certainly a model employee that anyone would want on their team.

What a great worker.

Consider this:
Sometime after July 25 he heard about Trump’s phone call to Ukraine.

Before August 12 he writes a multipage story with detailed footnotes.

If only these government slobs worked as hard on real work.

The FBI took their shot now the CIA.

[CedarDave]

He did not listen directly to a July call between Mr. Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine ...

Enough said about him. The question that needs to be answered is who in the national security apparatus provided him with enough information that he then elaborated on so for his complaint to appear credible.

I see an assignment in Minot investigating rabbit hunting limit enforcement ...

[TXSearcher]

If true, I'm gonna bet he's one of Schumer's "Intel officials have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you" operative.

[hawkaw]

What’s wrong with North Dakota?

[subterfuge]

He’s a leaker, not a “whistleblower.”

[GOPJ]

A Brennan butt boy?

[PGR88]

It seems like Brennan’s and Clapper’s coup attempt is still running.

The law does not protect office gossips

I'm kind of curious about the law. I looked at a brief overview and I can't see where there is anything that says the whistle-blower can remain anonymous. All I'm seeing is that the government can't take reprisals against the accuser based specifically on the accusation.

I'm even seeing that it is very rare for a complaint of illegal reprisals be upheld in court. Wiki says something like 3 out of every 200.

Does anybody have better in-depth knowledge of the law? I was originally under the assumption that the act provided for anonymity, and that all these precautions were taken to protect the source. But then after looking, I don't see it as much like I'd assumed.

IOW, it’s phase II of the deepstate coup attempt.

[reg45]

That’s unrealistic. He or she will never work at McDonald’s. He or she will get hired by one of the networks as an expert on Eastern Europe.

[G Larry]

CIA has long been a liberal bastion.

[dead]

The whistle-blower who revealed that President Trump sought foreign help for his re-election and that the White House sought to cover it up

That's the kind of shit the NY Times readership eats up.

[shalom aleichem]

Rush is blowing up over this freak. Doesn’t mater who he/she is. It is the Deep State still coming after Donald. Fight Back!

[MayflowerMadam]

Where the F**K is Barr? He’s as bad as Sessions.

WHY, when there are obvious Trump loyalists out there, does he choose such dreadful people? Barr is a Bushbot. He hobnobs with Mueller.

Did he consider Sekulow? Jarrett? Sidney Powell? DiGenova? Levin? Even Ann Coulter would be better.

What I thought of, Brennan related somehow

[mmichaels1970]

Before August 12 he writes a multipage story with detailed footnotes.

Kind of a "dossier" eh?

I, too, am at my wits end with what is going on between the Democrats and the media...where the real collusion happens. I could not watch this morning’s hearing...I yell at TV and then send tweets to devious Dems and their buddies, i.e. Juan Williams. Hard to take the hateful and disrespectful behavior of Democrats.

Frankly, I am worried because the Dems with big help from media and professors/teachers poison minds of so many people. I don’t know how this will stop. Would love to see millions of patriots march on D.C. and confront socialist Congress people.
