Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire is set to testify Thursday morning before the House Intelligence Committee about a whistleblower's complaint that helped trigger a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

The Hill will be providing updates as the hearing unfolds beginning at 9 a.m.

Halls are packed nearly two hours before hearing

7:30 a.m.

Press cameras lined the hallways more than two hours before the high stakes hearing was set to begin.

Members of the public also began forming lines hours beforehand in the hopes they could hear Maguire speak about his handling of the whistleblower complaint.

Hope Joseph Maguire blows Adam Schiff out of the water and is indignant in doing so.

Can someone tell us who this person is, and why does he need a Go Fund Me page to raise $100,000?

If you’re referring to the whistle-blower, shouldn’t his legal fees be covered by taxpayers if all’s on the up and up and he meets certain criteria?

But if he’s going the Go Fund Me route, that can only mean something doesn’t pass the smell test.

“We investigated the whistleblower’s complaint fully and found it to be baseless.”
“Aren’t you a Republican?”
“Yes”
“Isn’t the whistleblower a Democrat?”
“I’m not sure but I believe so?”
“Well that’s enough proof for me - impeach Trump and I charge you with obstruction of justice”

When you have the opportunity to run a GoFundMe for $100,000 you take it.

The whistleblower has already been discredited. I expect to never hear this from our sewer-dwelling “journalists”.

Maybe Trump should have waited a few more days before releasing the transcripts of the phone conversation, to give the dems a little more rope to hang themselves by emphasizing the false ‘quid pro quo’ aspect of their ‘evidence’.
Now they will stay clear of that topic.

Everybody is looking to shakedown the public thru “Go Fund Me”. Probably doesn’t mean a thing, one way or the other. That said, I hope this so-called whistleblower doesn’t qualify as such.

I think it was established from the start that he did meet the criteria of a whistle blower.

The whole thing is one big mind boggle.

The media in this country is so corrupt you can’t get a straight answer.

If Trump were a democrat, OTOH, you’d have the story.

Lie No. 1 - Says complaint has been withheld. It has not.

The only “court” in the country that uses and relies on here say under the guise of “whistleblower”.

Since he's been discredited....he's not a whistleblower in fact.

He's a courier for someone.

Perfect match to Comey's MO on the Russian leak to create a Special Council.

I've read that the whistleblower had volunteer lawyers who were linked to the Clintons, and who had advertised for people with dirt on the administration. Supposedly, this firm promised support during the course of the complaint.

Did anyone else read this, or have additional info? And, if its true, why would the additional funds from a GoGund me be needed? Say, what is Christine Blasey-Ford doing with her extra GoFundMe funds?

I am nauseated by Schiff. He is a liar extraordinaire.

Am only listening online to hear the Republicans counter his outrageous comments.

But it is TOUGH to stomach the lies.....
