There’s a proper way for a CIA whistleblower to complain about a president. The anonymous CIA whistleblower who set off the Ukraine impeachment brouhaha did it wrong.
I would know — because I’m a former CIA officer who filed a whistleblower complaint against the Clinton White House and CIA management.
The charges lodged by “EC,” the rumored initials of the Ukraine complainant, fall far short of a bona fide whistleblowing complaint. EC’s behavior suggests that he has abused his office, and perhaps broken the law, by using his CIA position to damage President Trump politically.
In 1996, I sent my complaint to then-CIA Director John Deutch and asked him to forward it to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees and several other members of Congress. I sent copies to about six other senior CIA officials, including the director of security and the inspector general.
Because of the serious nature of my charges and to take full responsibility, I didn’t hide behind anonymity. I signed my complaint.
I was informed that Deutch took my complaint seriously. I was told that I could bring my concerns to Congress or, if I wished, Deutch would ask the CIA inspector general to look into my complaint.

I like Fred Fleitz’s tone.
Trump promised to drain the swamp......
But failed.
As we can now see, the swamp is much deeper than anyone expected. Personally, however, how can anyone not expect it after 8 years of that shifty Chicago politician with ties to Islamic and domestic terrorism?
Got more done in 3 years than anybody in my lifetime.
Somehow I dont expect him to abolish sin, just expose it. It is after all OUR JOB to vote the Turds that float to the top out of office.
Not his, that would be a dictatorship.
Or did you want to sit on your laurels and have it all done for you?
Post #5 was supposed to go to you. I guess I failed. Don’t know how that happened.
Trump is getting Richard Jewelled’ by FBeye, Mueller, and house of reps
