The anonymous whistleblower who filed a complaint with the intelligence community inspector general, which includes allegations about President Donald Trump's conduct, has tentatively agreed to meet with congressional lawmakers, according to correspondence obtained by CNN. The meeting will take place on the condition that acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire approves appropriate security clearances for the individual's legal counsel so that they can accompany their client, the correspondence showed.

The only person recently fired was John Bolton, IIRC, and it doesn't seem like his style.

It doesn't, but Bolton and Trump have always been at odds over Ukraine. Is it possible Bolton has something at stake here?

In defense of Sessions, he didn't appoint a special counsel. He recused himself from any involvement in an investigation of Russia's activities in the 2016 election -- as he promised he would at his confirmation hearing.

It was Rod Rosenstein who appointed Mueller, not Sessions. And President Trump undermined himself by putting Rosenstein in an untenable position after Comey was fired. Having Rosenstein provide a formal recommendation for Comey's firing, and then doing that stupid interview with Lester Holt a few days later where Trump claimed he was going to fire Comey anyway, put Rosenstein in a position where he had a potential conflict of interest in the matter. This "conflict of interest" is one of the rare cases where a special counsel would be appropriate.

That's not likely to happen this time around, since Barr has no conflict of interest. He has a job to do -- and if that involves investigating a former Vice President of the United States, then so be it.

If he wasn’t on the call then the only thing he can say is what others told him about it. Kinda irrelevant since we have the transcript. Maybe he’s going to out the leakers.

Trump tweeted kind words and an endorsement to Sasse just recently.

Sasse is an ungrateful bastard.

Hannity calls him Sasse the Ass.

The crazy people on the web seem to think the whistler’s initials are SG, who resigned last month.

“approves appropriate security clearances “

Don’t like the sound of that

You’re assuming he has any. From the way he acts, it’s unlikely.

Your little game plays out both ways. If there was a “there” there, the media would have leaked it within the hour.


you mean like this?

The whistleblower complaint over President Trump’s call with Ukraine raises concerns over how the White House handled records of the call with the foreign leader, The New York Times reported Wednesday citing two people briefed on the complaint.

The whistleblower identified multiple White House officials as witnesses to Trump’s alleged misconduct who could corroborate the complaint, according to people who spoke to the Times.

In order for the whistle blower’s attorney to be part of the discussions, he needs to have a security clearance. There’s nothing unusual about that. It’s protocol. But, There’s nothing this WB can add that’s not already on paper anyway.

Why would the complaint be more important than the transcript?

Just more non specific mumbo jumbo.

I think the name for what your doing is called ‘concerned trolling’. But, not sure if you’ve caught on - the Democrats and the NYT are liars. So, we are not concerned. Nancy Pelosi should be concerned tho. The R’s are going to push for her Removal.

“special awesomeness in a sea of scoundrels.”

Nice, very nice and descriptive! (Especially the nautical allusion!)

Yes, clown. The media hasn’t leaked anything other than the same old innuendo, and propaganda. Saying “the whistleblower says that there are concerns about the records” is laughable. Saying that “the IG interviewed witnesses” is also laughable. Of course the IG interviewed people. They also found that the whistleblower had no direct knowledge of the call, and that the whistleblower had political bias.

The transcript is the actual document of the conversation. There isn’t a “there” there no matter how much you wish that there was.

The media hasn’t leaked anything despite your wild insinuations that this is the end. If they had a smoking gun, it would be out there.

It doesn’t matter what the Rats are claiming. They want impeachment, they claim lots of things.

The fact that Tucker or Hannity didnt mention the complaint means absolutely nothing BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ACTUAL TRANSCRIPT.
