Watchdog won't disclose contents of Trump whistleblower complaint
The Hill ^ | 09/19/19 | CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO,OLIVIA BEAVERS AND MIKE LILLIS

Posted on 09/19/2019 11:29:51 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

The intelligence community's inspector general declined to share details of a whistleblower complaint that is said to involve a discussion between President Trump and a foreign leader, a member of the House Intelligence Committee told The Hill on Thursday.

Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) told The Hill that Michael Atkinson, the inspector general for the intelligence community, did not talk about the contents of the whistleblower complaint during a private session with lawmakers that has lasted more than three hours.

Atkinson was “very careful” about what he said, Stewart added.

His comments confirm an earlier report in The New York Times. Two people familiar with Atkinson's appearance told the Times he repeatedly declined to share details with lawmakers and that he would not confirm or deny anything about the substance of the complaint.

I wonder if this might have been instigated by Warmonger Bolton in revenge for being fired.

Someone Said Trump Said Something to Someone. Congress to Investigate


that really is pretty much it. Well, maybe it’s “someone heard Trump say something to someone that they don’t think he should have said.

People really need to dissect what “whistleblower” actually means.

If anyone thinks the Dems don’t know what this is about is naive. This is just plan 10 of their attempts to bring down a sitting President.

It will be released. It’s just a matter of time. So make your bets now:

1) Mutual defense pact with Israel or Saudi Arabia?
2) nonaggression pact with North Korea.
3) no additional tariffs with Mexico.
4) no withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Anything else?

Still Spying on the President.

When they start going to jail this will end.

Is this the same “Intelligence” Community that said nothing when Obama whispered to the Russian President that he would have more flexibility after the election. The same community that allowed Obama/Clinton to sell 20% of the US’ uranium resources to Russia? That Intel Community?

Pelosi and Shit-for-brains have access to the CONTENTS of the complaint.

If there was any substance at all, it would be in Articles of Impeachment and on the front page of the New York Times.

But since it’s trivial, at best, it’s much more useful and fun for them to talk about a refusal to disclose.

I am personally well beyond tired at the latest fake scandal of the week. I mean whether it is Trump colluded with the Russians, Trump is a racist, Trump is a sexist, Trump is a rapists who disrespects women, Trump committed treason, Trump obstructed justice, Trump.......breathed, it just never ends.

You would think that the media would tire of constantly throwing stories at the wall only to have them exposed as false or unverifiable.

I just heard Schiff say that the whistle blower only filed the complaint two months ago.

So let me guess....Comey...cuz he knows all the games that can be played.....and knows there can be no repercussions to himself.
