Whistleblower filed Trump complaint after going to CIA general counsel: report
The Hill ^ | 09/26/19 | Tal Axelrod

Posted on 09/26/2019 9:01:25 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

The whistleblower at the center of scrutiny over President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine filed his complaint with the intelligence community’s inspector general after first going to the CIA general counsel, according to a new report.

Multiple people familiar with the matter told The New York Times that the whistleblower brought a broad complaint to Courtney Simmons Elwood, the CIA general counsel, the week after the July 25 phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

During the call, which formed the basis for the later whistleblower complaint, Trump urged Zelensky to open an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, a chief political rival. A readout of the call was released by the White House on Wednesday, while the complaint was released Thursday.

Elwood tried to evaluate if there was a “reasonable basis” for the concerns raised by the whistleblower and spoke with John Eisenberg, a deputy White House counsel, the Times reports. However, as the process dragged out, the whistleblower reportedly became concerned his allegations were not being taken seriously, particularly after finding out Elwood had contacted the White House.

The whistleblower then decided to formally submit a complaint with Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community’s inspector general, a move that provides extra legal protections.

George Webb is a Washington DC based journalist who discovered the stashed hard drives and blackberries of the famed DNC and DCCC servers, dampening the Trump Russia narrative of the DNC. George Webb produced a fact witness named Andre Taggart that testified that Imran Awan, the key consultant to DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, stored Congressional marked hard drives and blackberries at his Lorton, Virginia home. In addition, George Webb also produced a Congressional blackberry from an informant from the office of Senator Joe Biden coded named Deep Blackberry. Webb has researched all the Imran Awan safe houses and has researched occupants and businesses associated with over a dozen Awan properties.

And see the YouTube link and description in comment #21. I don't know anything about George Webb, but the message in the video sounds interesting--especially the mentions of the dates of the complaint and Gordon's resignation (Aug. 12th and 15th).

There's more about Gordon in Webb's description under the video, BTW. There's a Wikipedia page, too. And see the YouTube link and description in comment #21. I don't know anything about George Webb, but the message in the video sounds interesting--especially the mentions of the dates of the complaint and Gordon's resignation (Aug. 12th and 15th).

Anybody think an unknown Republican hack could lay a hand on a Democrat president?

The CIA and the FBI are hopelessly politicized.

Rudy Guilani could go on Fox and say that a document expert studied the paper that “whistleblower’s” report was typed up on and can prove it came from a Kinkos, and the msm would, the next day, start churning out...

“Whistleblower stopped at Kinkos to print out complaint before handing in to... new report says.”

They’re lying through their teeth and in full make it up as they go along panic mode.

Once again folks, there is no good-hearted patriotic ‘rank n file’ of any intelligence agency. Peter Strocyk IS the ‘rank n file’!

“Broad Complaint” sounds like the initial document submitted was not what was finally submitted.There should NOT be more info in the complaint than was in the transcribed phone call.

Sue Gordon.




She will get the Chrissy Blassey-Ford kid gloves and protection treatment from the corrupt media.

Interesting that FINALLY on Hannity discussing this with panel that the name Soros came up as the head of the snake, ground zero in all of this. How long have we all been saying this and so was “call him what you like” Alex Jones 10 years ago

When the whistleblower’s identity gets leaked we will find out that he/she is fronting for a group within the CIA. So “Coup Plotters” is an exact description of what is going on here.

"No evidence has emerged that Biden, the current Democratic presidential frontrunner, acted to benefit his son."

This statement totally illustrates the blind bias of the author. The FACTS are that Biden's extortion demand caused Ukraine to drop the prosecutor and that caused the investigation of Biden's son to end. Biden, indeed, "acted to benefit his son." No more "evidence" is necessary.

This whole article proves the importance of the Trump strategy to remove phone calls with foreign leaders from the normal data storage channels to more secure locations. It is noted that this removal started after the contents of several such calls were leaked to the press.

There is no question that there are still numerous deep state holdovers throughout the IC and Whitehouse. They appear to be wringing their hands and searching for anything that might be remotely usable to leak to the dRats and the press to undermine Trump. This whole Ukraine debacle proves what thin gruel they use against him.

Glad to hear George Webb picked up the lead about Sue Gordon. Whether she’s the whistleblower or not, she’s not considered trustworthy in the Trump Admin and is known-believed to be close to John Brennan.

But here’s a deep, deep finding about Sue Goron with official links but hidden in plain sight:

Gordon is connected to Epstein.

I’ll post s separate thread on this when the democrat melodrama dies down if it ever does.
