Ukraine whistleblower may have liaised with Vindman over Trump call
washington examiner ^ | 11/16/2019 | carlin becker

The whistleblower whose complaint about President Trump's communications with Ukraine launched House impeachment proceedings was still attending White House meetings recently and may have spoken to Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman prior to filing the complaint, according to the Washington Post.

On Saturday, the outlet published details about the steps a CIA analyst took to blow the whistle after the president urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call to start an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden, who is also leading the pack of 2020 Democrats. Notably, the Post was clear that the whistleblower is male.

"The analyst had served on the National Security Council during the Trump administration and had been in the presence of the president. After returning to the CIA, his job required him to continue to participate in National Security Council meetings," the publication reported, indicating that the whistleblower was still attending meetings at the White House recently.

The Post claimed the whistleblower never told any of his White House contacts about his plans to file a complaint, which he worked on "after hours" in his cubicle at the CIA headquarters for two weeks before submitting it on Aug. 12.

Before filing the complaint, the anonymous person spoke with a White House official who also expressed concern over Trump's conversation with Zelensky. The "shaken" official said the call was “frightening,” “crazy,” and “completely lacking in substance related to national security.”

Wouldn’t that be Conspiracy to Commit Espionage, by revealing TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED Information in a non-classified setting?? Sounds like an ARREST IS IN ORDER!

The "shaken" official said the call was “frightening,” “crazy,” and “completely lacking in substance related to national security.”

Having seen the transcript, we know just who was the “frightening,” “crazy,” and “completely lacking in substance related to national security” one.

Vindman was in place to listen for key words like names from the Obama Admin or any Democrat

Trump's conversation with Zelensky. The "shaken" official said the call was “frightening,” “crazy,” and “completely lacking in substance related to national security.”

We've read the transcript. This is silly.

The call was a substantial threat to the money laundering and bribery schemes of the Deep State. So yes it was crazy and scary. These thugs operate in an alternate world on this world’s dime.

I still say there was no "whistleblower" at all, and that the "whistleblower" is nothing more than an assortment of hacks and assholes whose information was given to Schiff's staff and compiled into a "complaint" that has gotten more comical by the day.

The "shaken" official said the call was "frightening," "crazy," and "completely lacking in substance related to national security."

Reading this, I come away with two possibilities:

1. The "shaken official" was a drama queen who probably isn't even emotionally stable enough to handle a dog pooping in the living room.

2. The "shaken official" was part of a witch hunt built entirely on lies, misrepresentations and emotional drama about a phone call that everyone expected would remain secret forever. They all felt empowered to simply make sh!t up about this phone call because they never expected the contents to be released to the public.

I'm going to go with #2 on this one. What you're witnessing right now is Adam Schiff getting caught holding his d!ck in his hand when the contents of the phone call were released and all their elaborate fabrications about it have been exposed.

This persons identity is NOT protected under the law.
They are protected from reprisal.
This needs to stop, they are twisting the law and
Constitution to bring down POTUS.

Stop this mess.

” Sounds like an ARREST IS IN ORDER!”

One of the constitutional duties of a president is to ensure that the laws of the land are faithfully executed.

AG BARR’S SPEECH TO FEDERALIST SOCIETY ON 11/15/19
I’m skeptical until I hear the sound of handcuffs clicking around the wrists of the likes of OBAMA, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Rice, Jarrett, Powers, etc...you know their names. And I don’t share some of his ideas on gun control, but it is what it is and he’s WHO we’ve got!
If arrests & trials are NOT forthcoming, I’ll pull this video as we officially have a 2 tier justice system & the now UNTOUCHABLES may have folks like me arrested, jailed...and worse.

Until the whistleblower (the person responsible for this whole fiasco) steps forward and testifies, I do not pay any attention to anything being testified to.
