Since the time Traitor Trump began his campaign until today there
have been any number of instances where people have speculated that the
end of tRUMP had arrived. So far we have all been wrong. Maybe this
time the tipping point has arrived. The acting director of national
intelligence is supposed to testify to Congress on Thursday. He has
been subpoenaed to supply the whistleblower complaint to Congress. If
he does not he is continuing to break the law. I understand that there
are several Democratic congress men and women who flipped their
districts who now say they will vote for an impeachment investigation
if the whistleblower complaint is not delivered.
Just to
refresh your recollection, Michael Atkinson inspector general for the
intelligence committee wrote that the whistleblower's complaint is of
"urgent concern" Mr. Atkinson is a tRUMP appointee. His finding
requires that the whistleblower complaint be provided to congress within
7 days after the "acting" director of national intelligence receives
it. tRUMP's acting director of national intelligence did not comply
with his legal obligation. Instead , he consulted with tRUMP's
attorney general which received input from the White House. This
activity is so wrong on so many levels.
Here is why I ask
the question about whether Traitor Trump is telling the truth . He made
a statement that everyone but him has read the report and they are all
laughing. There is much to unpack in that simple statement. First, he
says that he has not read the report. I don't believe him. He certainly
seems to know exactly what is in the report. Second he says that
everyone is laughing at the report. Again, I don't believe him. I
think there is not a soul laughing at the whistleblower's report. But
the third element of the statement is by far the most concerning. tRUMP
claims that "everyone" has read the report. What if he is telling the
truth? It is entirely possible that he is.
To start,
every whistleblower statute explicitly requires that the whistleblower's
complaint be seen by only a limited number of people and must be kept
strictly confidential. If "everyone" has seen the report, it has a
totally chilling effect on future whistleblowers. They can no longer be
assured that their complaint will remain confidential. It certainly
has a devastating effect on the whistleblower in this case.
Second, we are dealing with national intelligence. Does
"everyone" include people with no security clearance?" If in this
instance tRUMP is telling the truth, he has betrayed our country once
again.
There are so many parts to this story. This
is one I find most interesting. On August 8, Dan Coats, former
national security advisor interrupted a meeting which included his
deputy to tell her she must resign immediately. The whistleblower filed
his or her complaint on August 12. Coats and Gordon left on August 15.
Did Coats resign because he knew about tRUMP's traitorous
conversations with the prime minister of Ukraine? I don't believe in
coincidences.
So is this the tipping point? We
will know a lot more on Thursday. If Congress is denied information
which the law says must be shared with Congress, the next step could
well be an impeachment investigation. Even Nancy Pelosi, the reluctant
impeacher, seems to be saying ,"Yes." Stay tuned.
