Report: WH Official Told ‘Whistleblower’ Trump’s Ukraine Call Was ‘Crazy,’ ‘Frightening’
Breitbart ^ | 10/8/2019 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 10/08/2019 5:08:12 PM PDT by bitt

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.

That’s real snowflake level usage of ‘crazy’ and ‘frightening’. Even if he thought his/her/its buddy Biden was going to be caught.

Everyday they need to introduce the transcript into the congressional record. In both the House and Senate. Do it over and over day after day. When they lie about it, they can reintroduce it again.

I agree with Rush when he says Schiff never expected DJT to release the call transcript. That knocked the entire plan out of whack. The solution? Just proceed as if he never did. The dumbsh*ts that compose their base don’t care. Let the democrat pollsters do the rest.

‘Crazy’ and ‘Frightening’ is the new vapors and pearl clutching.

“My inside source told me the call was whimsical and gay.”

My inside source told me the call was wondrous and ambrosial.

My inside source told me the call was festive and filled with harmony. “

My inside source told me the call was merry and sparkling.

CIA director announces major reorganization of spy agency ...
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cia-director...
Mar 07, 2015 · CIA director announces major reorganization of spy agency. The CIA, along with other U.S. intelligence agencies, wrongly assessed the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 2002 and failed to anticipate the rapid collapse of Middle East governments during the Arab Spring in 2011, among other shortcomings.

Thanks for the reply. Isn’t it strange that we would have a weaponization of the CIA interfering in American elections just after that reorganization?

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." ‐-------------------------- Since he never actually heard the conversation, and his sources include the MSM, By what expertise does he make his national security assessment? It was all rumor mill stuff. By what measure did he determine the accuracy of the rumor? Rumor mills are notoriously inaccurate. Rule to live by..believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.

...and ‘completely lacking in substance related to national security.’”

Does every call HAVE to relate to "national security"?

A White House official. What kind of SNAKES did Trump appoint or allow to be appointed. He is surrounded by Judases & Deep State operatives. He had 3 years to purge them.

“Crazy” that the President is wanting to investigate the Derp State corruption.

“Frightening” that he is following through.

re: ““It is my suggestion that President disband the CIA, DNI and the NSA...” “

First step, have the GSA cut power to those facilities ... let the employees ‘figure it out’ from there (quit/resign/walk away).

Then w blower complaint filed, the IG changes W Blower filing rules to allow 2nd hand info.

To be precise, the WB complaint forms always allowed first and second hand information. Both forms have the checkbox for first and second hand. But the old form came with the instructions that the complaint cannot be considered urgent by the IG without first hand informaiton. Those instructions were deleted in the new form. The urgent designation is important because that gets it to Congress quickly.

Yep I agree too. The plan was to use the complaint only with all of its baseless innuendo and never reveal the transcript.

I can't wait for the real first hand whistleblower to come out if there really is one.

That person is a traitor to the country and will likely hang. Might not be after a trial but eventually some patriot will get justice for America.
