White House preparing to release whistleblower complaint to Congress
Politico ^ | 9/24/2019 | NANCY COOK

The White House is preparing to release to Congress by the end of the week both the whistleblower complaint and the Inspector General report that are at the center of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, according to a senior administration official, reversing its position after withholding the documents from lawmakers.

The move shows the level of seriousness with which the administration is now approaching the House‘s new impeachment proceedings, even as President Donald Trump publicly tries to minimize the inquiry as a “witch hunt” or “presidential harassment,” or a move that will help him win his 2020 reelection campaign.

The administration official stressed the decision and timing could change over the next few days, but as of Tuesday evening the White House was planning to hand over the documents to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. The president has agreed to this move, the official added.

A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.

They’ve been trying to impeach the president for about 3 years now. And the “center of the impeachment inquiry” is now the whistleblower complaint from about a week ago???

Very interesting that this time around the Dems and Dem media (is there any other kind?) are not demanding a special prosecutor. That used to be their weapon of choice.

How about some sunshine on all of the docs from Obama and current administration. There is so much held back, despite Trump’s suggesting, requesting, and ordering them released. He’s president and it is time his cabinet gets their respective departments to do their jobs.

That reminds me, when are we going to hear the transcript of AG Lynch and Slick Willie Clinton on that airplane?

I like stories about grandchildren.

Trump did good.....Let the Dems make their move based on "no evidence" and he will................

And I bet they know who the leakers are. It doesn't take much to reveal oneself.

Leakers = The Whistleblower and the person who provided the writtings.

Comey MO all the way!!

FOX keeps talking about Trump can’t ask a favor of a foreign government in regards to getting dirt on a political opponent. First, Trump has no political opponent until the DNC picks their slate. Second, funny how this impeachment has finally come about when Biden is falling in the ranks against Warren.

Nothing to leak if the document is public. A gaslighting hoax relies on ambiguity. Take that away and it make it much more difficult for the Democrats to make up fairy tales.

Actually, President Trump is the whistle blower pointing out by a former government official but is he protected by the Federal Whistle Blower Protection Act that's on the books?

Nope, they start an impeachment inquiry.

After this, anyone who thinks Snowden is a traitor better think again.

I hope he waits to release it until after the “whistle blower” testifies, and the democrats gin up the interest in the contents of the phone call so that every voter in the country is paying attention.
