Pelosi warns Trump not to intimidate whistleblower: 'You're in my wheelhouse'
Fox News ^ | November 17, 2019 | Andrew O'Reilly

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., gave strict orders to President Trump not to “intimidate” the whistleblower who sparked the House impeachment inquiry into the president – telling Trump that he was in her “wheelhouse” if he attempted to go after the anonymous source.

"I will make sure he does not intimidate the whistleblower," Pelosi said during an interview on CBS' "Face The Nation.” "I told the president you're in my wheelhouse when you come after the whistleblower."

Pelosi’s words come as the House Intelligence Committee is in the midst of public hearings with officials about Trump’s now infamous July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky where he asked him to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, over their business dealings in the eastern European nation.

Democrats argue that there is evidence of “quid pro quo” during the phone call and that Trump made the release of military aid to Ukraine contingent on Kiev investigating Biden – one of the president’s main 2020 political challengers – and his son. Hunter Biden was on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm, Burisma Holdings, which in 2015 was subject to an investigation by Ukrainian officials.

The whistleblower complaint, which concerned the purported “quid pro quo” Trump laid out in the phone call, sparked the impeachment inquiry and the president has since been highly critical of the unnamed person – questioning the whistleblower’s credibility and asking for the disclosure of the person’s name.

I heard from someone who was talking to a friend of theirs who heard someone say Trump released the actual transcript of the call.

By saying this she reveals what she is really afraid of.

Hmmmm... I wonder if she ever told George Moscone and/or Harvey Milk that they were “in her wheelhouse”?

It kinda *does* sound like a subtle threat.

Now we know WHY she remained as Speaker. She’s Schitt’s tool.

I have a dream.

The President declares martial law as the House is in rebellion (I.e Coup de main) and arrest the conspirators...all of them. I have a List if necessary.

Marine: madam Speaker please come with me...

Okay, I said it was a dream. So sue me.

Maybe Wheelhouse Nancy could cite the law that says the whistleblower can remain anonymous.

Well, reminds me as a kid of my dad taking me snip hunting. We waited and waited for those little birds to come running into our bag. I think the whistleblower is a snip, and we have all been up late at night waiting for some bird to fall into our bag, and WE are the dunces, we have been fooled. THERE IS NO WHISTLE BLOWER..it is probably Clapper or Brenham.

Why do they call him a whistleblower - he wasn’t included in the call - the benign contents have been released - this guy is only someone hiding behind whistleblower rules to hide the fact that he’s just one of the gears in the coup.

They’re trying to use words they carefully pick (bribery - intimidate, etc) - and outright lies - to manufacture a “crime” out of absolutely nothing. I guess they think the public will be fooled...and some of them are. They couldn’t do this without the MSM. And I’m beginning to wonder about the military - why is that Vindman guy who countermanded his CIC orders not getting the Roger Stone treatment?

This coup has a lot more supporters than I originally thought. I’m not sure there has been a more serious situation in DC ever - we can’t trust so many of the people in DC to do the right thing.
