Democrats say the State Department watchdog used a closed-door briefing on Wednesday to give them "conspiracy theories" tied to Ukraine, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and former Vice President Joe Biden.

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) "It's essentially a packet of propaganda and disinformation and spreading conspiracy theories. Those conspiracy theories have been widely debunked and discredited," Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told reporters after an hourlong briefing with State Department Inspector General Steve Linick.

The closed-door, hour-long briefing was part of a hastily assembled meeting requested by the State Department watchdog. MORE AT LINK

Ex-Ukraine prosecutor said he was told to back off probe of Biden-linked firm, files show
The new documents were shared with Fox News by sources familiar with the “urgent” briefing held by State Department Inspector General Steve Linick on Wednesday.

CNN has the documents as well. Neither CNN nor Fox has made them available as of yet.
When will the public have them?

from your other post:

PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I don’t even “fake” anymore; I call the fake news now, “corrupt news.” Because “fake” isn’t tough enough, and I’m the one that came up with the term — I’m very proud of it — but I think I’m going to switch it largely to “corrupt news.” Because the media in this country — not everybody; we have some great reporters, some great journalists. But much of it is corrupt. It’s corrupt. You have corrupt media in this country. And it truly is the enemy of the people.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Have a good day, everybody. Go write some phony stories. Go write some phony stories. Go write a Schiff-like story.

Just another day in paradise.”

The material shared with staffers and Raskin, the only lawmaker in the meeting, arrived at the State Department in May addressed to Pompeo.

It's unclear who beyond the inspector general that Pompeo shared it with. Schiff, Engel and Cummings said in their joint statement that the inspector general told lawmakers...


Both these statements cannot be true

Both these statements cannot be true

A Shitt for brains staffer met with the whistle blower.
He states his office never spoke to the whistle blower.

Schitt for brains, Engel and Cummings send staffers to a meeting and state that the IG provided them something.

Three Chairs Statement on State Department Inspector General Briefing
Today, Rep. Eliot L. Engel, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Rep. Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, released the following statement after committee staff received a briefing from the State Department Inspector General:
Today, the State Department Inspector General provided an unclassified briefing and documents to House and Senate Committees.

Sooooo...if aides of the House and Senate Committees are equivalent to the Committees themselves then Schitt for brains' staffer is equivalent to his office as well and he spoke with the whistle blower.

He can't have it both ways.

the IG has been sitting on this for four months - topic of briefing: Guilliani does Ukraine A-Z - sounds like a lot of newspaper articles/research related to Ukraine and other stuff; Why the IG felt that the third day of recess was the right time for an ‘urgent’ meeting of staffers, is anybody’s guess.

Pay attention to the first 30 seconds - Dems in a briefing thought...but got info showing Dems colluded with Ukraine in 2016.

Giuliani claims he has Ukrainian docs showing ‘collusion’ with top Dems

Just repeating the word “debunked” over and over doesn’t mean quid pro joe’s sleazy ukraine and china activity has been debunked. But you know, dems/Goebbels and the big lie...
