The partisan CIA officer behind a so-called “whistleblower” complaint wrote that a White House official described President Donald Trump’s call with Ukraine as “crazy” and “frightening,” according to a report.
Fox News reports the CIA officer penned a two-page memo on July 26th — one the day after the Trump-Zelensky call — in which he wrote his conversation with the White House official, “only lasted a few minutes, and as a result, I only received highlights.”
Reporters Catherine Herridge and Bradford Betz write:
According to the memo, the White House official “described the (July 25th) call as ‘crazy,’ ‘frightening,’ and ‘completely lacking in substance related to national security.’”
…
The whistleblower memo appeared to rebut criticism that the White House-released transcript was notes or a summary, writing that the “standard practice” was for the “White House situation room to produce a word-for-word transcript that memorializes the call.” The whistleblower also stated the transcript was produced and being “treated very sensitively.”
Significantly, the whistleblower noted, “The President did not raise security assistance” during the call. Allegations of a quid pro quo were central to the complaint, later filed by the whistleblower in mid-August which also “connected the dots” through media reports and other unnamed officials.
The CIA officer subsequently filed a so-called “whistleblower” complaint alleging President Trump committed wrongdoing by asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into accusations of corruption against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. However, both world leaders have emphatically denied any pressured was applied and the White House released a transcript of their call to show no wrongdoing occurred.

Do you think facts matter to the lwfties in this case?
Hey CIA: Let me tell you - You take on Donald Trump, he has six ways from Sunday of getting back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed intelligence agency, you are being really dumb to do this.
This reminds me of that game, Charades.
Just so happens it IS all a YUGE charade.
Same individual who probably breaks out in the vapors each time Trump goes to the potty.
My inside source told me the call was whimsical and gay.
Reminds me of “Pinning the Tail on the Donkey”
This is the source of the first whistleblower’s information and he/she was not in the room at the time of the conversation between presidents Zelensky of the Ukraine and President Trump. Therefore it’s still here say.
Nothing in the transcript of the conversation between the two presidents constitutes impeachable offense.
It is my suggestion that President disband the CIA, DNI and the NSA just as Truman disbanded the OSS after WWII and create a new version of government intelligence.
The frightening thing was the word CROWDSTRIKE.
A gay snowflake got through the WH screening process? Really though, zhe probably freaked upon learning Trump is close to exposing 0bama’s crew used U.S. and foreign intelligence to manufacture dirt on their party’s opposition candidate. So I do believe zhe was very alarmed.
Guess no one planned on the President releasing it almost immediately.
Many people on both ends were listening, as per protocol, but to this guy, and apparently no one else, it was “crazy and frightening”.
And Nicholas is branded on the bum,
And God save all of us to Kingdom Come.
Wait. What? Wait aminute. Fox News is reporting ON a report? A report that cites someone who is passing along something he or she was told by somebody else? So, at best, this is, what?, third-hand information?
We’re so beyond differences of opinion.... this is the Left calling us out to fight CW2. Hope the insanity can be stopped before it gets ugly.
“It is my suggestion that President disband the CIA, DNI and the NSA...”
Either he does that or these agencies will find a way to destroy him. The fact is that these three letter agencies and the elites behind them have been our government since a “lone gunman with a magic bullet” took out President Kennedy. They aren’t going to cede power to the American electorate without a fight.
I also hope Trump disbands the FBI while he’s at it.
Ohhhh. So the “whistle-blower” wasn’t in on the call. He or she got the drop from some nameless, faceless White House “official”. Was that “official” in on the phone call? And just what makes one a White House official?
