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.

I’m guessing their strategy is to impeach, and after the Senate acquits they will claim, “You can’t vote for this guy, he’s obviously a criminal and his party is protecting him, blah blah blah.” The media will assist.

It’s a dangerous strategy that could go either way, they know that too.

But it’s their only chance to back the White House so they will do it. Pelosi has just been waiting for the right timing. This has been the plan since Mueller took a knee.

I pray President Trump is squeaky clean on this like he has been saying. You just know the rat party will scour the documents to twist any and every thing in order to hurt the President.

According to Mark Levin tonight, the house has NOT voted on the process to proceed with a formal inquiry. He says this is still the same old crap. Talking points. Until the house actually votes to proceed with a inquiry, its MAGA full steam ahead.

Nope, they start an impeachment inquiry.


They have not taken a vote to begin a inquiry. Today was just more BS by the rats. Until they vote, they have no inquiry. Pelosi doesn’t want the vote. If she did, she would have done it today instead of just making talking points in hopes to deflect any pain from Biden.

At the last minute, one or both of these docs will have to be held off after biden’s attorneys come running in crying about the privileged information that will include some “highly sensitive” assets mentioned in the phone call. YOu watch and see.

I know damn well biden doesn’t want these matters aired.

Yeah and 'inquiry' is BS that I guess in theory would see if there were grounds for impeachment proceedings. It's a way to cast a shadow over Trump and nothing more.

Whatever they call it, it's not what a Whistle Blower is promised under the Whistle Blower Law.
