Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire is set to testify Thursday morning before the House Intelligence Committee about a whistleblower's complaint that helped trigger a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump.

The Hill will be providing updates as the hearing unfolds beginning at 9 a.m.

Halls are packed nearly two hours before hearing

7:30 a.m.

Press cameras lined the hallways more than two hours before the high stakes hearing was set to begin.

Members of the public also began forming lines hours beforehand in the hopes they could hear Maguire speak about his handling of the whistleblower complaint.

The Dems will just pivot. The story will change on a daily basis. Leak, leak, leak. Meanwhile, the GOP will do nothing substantively.

Real simple question..........since the “whistleblower” has no direct knowledge of the conversation, WHERE AND WHO IS THE REAL WHISTLEBLOWER and why didn’t he or she come forward?

Because the Whistleblowhard law protects even partisan mole complaints.

Even partisan mole complaints based on hearsay from anonymous alleged "officials".

We’re here because democrats are unwilling to accept the results of an election ... and they know they can’t win at the ballot box.


We’re here because the Democrats have no fear that the GOP will counterattack. The GOP has less than zero interest in Obama era corruption. It’s that simple.

The Dems are throwing nothing but s**t on the walls, and hoping something sticks!

There's nothing here, The Dems are making false allegations as truth so their willing media can play it on tv and further the lies.

Pelosi and the Dems have no concern of evidence or lack of....they just want any allegation's to suck up the media stage enabling them to continue to hide their own corruption and coup and the media is happy to comply............

It is always "Perception"....as they roll out these investigations and hearings and that of creating confusion and chaos....and therefore create Doubt.

And the DNI is rather inept. Been listening while getting things going this morning. The guy might be good in his job but is not competent and doesn’t speak well on his feet. Surprised he is not re-phrasing or object to the language or characterization of the complaint, people involved, handling of materials, etc. Makes the members of congress sound smart.

If deemed credible, and credible does not mean true.

I have no issue with Whistleblowers, they need protection however: I have an issue with someone who has no first hand knowledge of ANY wrongdoing and now we have flipp’in Rats using this to try to influence the public. The MSM is complicit because they simply hate the man. I am so ashamed of this charade.

He’s the acting DNI. No coincidence this treasonous hit job was pulled at this time on POTUS. It’s also makes clear why the Senate GOP blocked Trump’s excellent DNI nom, Ratcliffe.

If a 'main purpose' of 'intelligence' people is to assure the American people elections are safe and valid - then then Acting DNI Joseph Maguire needs to tell us how some districts in Detroit VOTE MORE PEOPLE THAN LIVE IN THE DISTRICT.

If Russians or Chinese are going to interfere in our elections that's where they go - to Detroit or Chicago and areas where the vote isn't watched. Where people are afraid to question strange results because they fear being called racists.

Acting DNI Joseph Maguire needs to look into this because the Russians and Chinese aren't stupid and they KNOW where cheating is not going to be looked at too closely.
