Ex-White House official says Trump phone call memos limited [#fakenews]
Associated Press ^ | September 28, 2019 | Zeke Miller

The White House severely restricted distribution of memos detailing President Donald Trump’s calls with foreign leaders, including Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman, in an effort to curtail the kind of leaks about such private conversations that had embarrassed him early in his tenure, a former White House official said.

The clampdown was not an attempt to conceal improper discussions but rather keep distribution about the substance of the calls to a minimum in light of the leaked transcripts from the summer of 2017, according to the official, who was not authorized to publicly talk about the process and spoke on condition of anonymity. At that time, Trump was enraged by leaks that disclosed tough conversations with the leaders of Mexico and Australia on paying for the border wall and abiding by an Obama administration deal on asylum-seekers.

The White House’s handling of Trump’s calls with foreign leaders is now at the heart of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry. […]

The former White House official confirmed there was an effort to limit access to Trump’s calls, but offered an alternative explanation: The White House was trying to limit leaks of private conversations. …

The “Ukraine Whistleblower” event is being staged.....a pre-planned event, choreographed by desperate power-hungry Democrats. The internal properties of the newly revised “Disclosure of Urgent Concern” form, which the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) requires to be submitted under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA), show that the document was uploaded on September 24, 2019, at 4:25 p.m., just days before the anti-Trump whistleblower complaint was declassified and released to the public. The markings on the document state that it was revised in August 2019, but no specific date of revision is disclosed. The complaint alleges that President Donald Trump broke the law during a phone call with the Ukrainian president. In his complaint, which was dated August 12, 2019, the complainant acknowledged he was “not a direct witness” to the wrongdoing he claims Trump committed.

(HAT TIP researcher Stephen McIntyre)
We are now getting the specifics on how the Schiff Dossier was created out of thin air. Evidence surfacing now shows:
<><> the ICIG only recently created a spanking new official government whistleblower complaint form;
<><> The official government form was custom-made specifically to fit the whistleblower's story;
<><> The official form was changed to allow the filing of complaints “heard from others“ (not "heard first hand" as originally required).
<><> deleted was a reference to rejecting whistleblower complaints that provide only hearsay, rumor, or gossip.

=================================================

REFERENCE--Falsifying official government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.
Falsifying official government documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......
can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents as evidence in legal cases.

Falsifyng documents is the criminal MO to cover-up larger crimes and is usually done in connection with broader
criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism, etc........

Well if your calls were being leaked since Day #2 in office, wouldn’t you?

A leak about a leak. And despite the effort, too many loose lips and traitors in the White House. Why haven’t they been rooted out and fired? Even in this latest incident, if this CIA guy is so loyal and not just a spy in the the White House, I’m sure he’ll have no problem naming all of his sources and we should see a string of arrests, transfers, firings, and people simply quiting. Right?

Never mind the CIA guy’s identity, with his second-hand or third-hand accounts and all (which disqualify him as a whistleblower).

Agree, he was there and acting at the direction of the CIA. What I want to know are the names of the people that were leaking to him. Also, his ‘bosses’ and collaborators on Capital Hill. Give him immunity, so-to-speak, to name them all. Publicly.

I can’t figure out if it was a “leak” or not.

If he’s a CIA analyst with expertise in European foreign policy it might have been legit for him to get the info.

We need to know more.

It was IC IG Atkinson who changed the form, or at least had the final say.

@RepDougCollins
Whistleblower standards used to settle for nothing less than first-hand knowledge. Why did those standards get lowered to hearsay days before the Ukraine complaint went public?
