So a story has been brewing for the last few days about a whistleblower within the intelligence community. Apparently a "former senior administration official" went to the IC OIG, who determined that the allegation was an "urgent matter" that required notification to Congress. The ODNI has attempted to block that determination -which to say is legally questionable would be rather generous - and prevent the whistleblower complaint from going to Congress.
Last night the story breaks that the complaint may involve some "promise" that Trump made on a phone call with another world leader. No real information other than that. ODNI is testifying behind closed doors today, so something may leak later this afternoon... https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trumps-communications-with-foreign-leader-are-part-of-whistleblower-complaint-that-spurred-standoff-between-spy-chief-and-congress-former-officials-say/2019/09/18/df651aa2-da60-11e9-bfb1-849887369476_story.html Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general for the intelligence community, said the former officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
It was not immediately clear which foreign leader Trump was speaking with or what he pledged to deliver, but his direct involvement in the matter has not been previously disclosed. It raises new questions about the president’s handling of sensitive information and may further strain his relationship with U.S. spy agencies. One former official said the communication was a phone call. View Quote |

Sure. But first let us all know what “I’ll have more leeway after I’m re-elected” meant when Obama said that to Putin

This is a leading story on the WaPo website, CNN, MSNBC, ABC and NBC.
Nothing on Fox - which I guess explains why there was nothing here (That I could find) until I posted something. lol |

The question that needs to be asked, is when Trump made a promise, were his fingers crossed? Because then, its just the art of the deal.

View Quote It probably wasn't just your usual "Trump gave away classified information...again" because a "Senior Administration Official" would know that the President is the OG OCA and can declassify whatever he wants. It would be stupid...but not illegal...so no basis for a whistleblower complaint. So this would be something different. |

You definitely got him this time B_S.
Drumpf is finished! Now get back to the register, someone ordered a latte. |

is this the same person that came out of a meeting claiming Trump said Shithole??

Congrats bullet! You finally got him now! Quickly get your boys comey and mueller on the case, this will bring down #orangemanbad for sure!
I can't believe you were right and #orangemanbad was a russian this whole time ETA: Fuck I guess that also means the FISA warrants that were based on rumors Trump was paying russian hookers to piss on beds obama slept in were true. |

Just an observation about which stories seem to immediately get a thread in GD, and which don't.

Caught on camera: Obama's missile remarks to Medvedev |
|
|
Did Trump give millions to Iran? Did he give our Uranium to Russia? Did he delete 30k emails?
|
|
Obama tells Medvedev he will have "more flexibility" after election |
|
Here's a question for you.
How does our intelligence community know what the President said on the phone? They're monitoring his calls? Is that legal? I read some of the CNN article on this, and the second section covers this question |

Another BS story...headlined by none other than liddle Adam Schitt for brains on the house Intel committee.
When are you going to learn? Adam Schitt has a hard on for Trump and is trying to cover up the Russian collusion hoax spying ring his king(Obama) and Queen(Hillary) cooked up. |

A excellent thread roll up on this latest ridiculous_shit at the date link...

|

Ah, an " _ " thread. For a second I thought I wasn't on arfcom. Makes sense now.

IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH!
It'll be the same nothingburger over and over. This intelligence person was likely just another McCabe lacky who has an agenda and is just running interference for McCabe. If I had to guess he heard something, took it completely out of context, half quoted it, then reported it. |

once you realize that generally speaking, the "_" means "I work for the Onion" or "I contribute to the Babylon Bee"
it all makes sense.... |

Trump to another world leader: "Like I said, if you keep this shit up, we will blow your ass up"....
Leftist progs start yelping about COLLUSION....lol |
|
The story I saw had to mention that he had talked with Putin in the weeks before this allegation. They're reviving the Russia collusion theme.
