Here we go. It looks like Trump is illegally concealing an IC whistle-blower complaint from House Intel. I've been expecting this. It may be the first of many to expose the treason in the Executive branch. Everyone who obstructs this may very well die in prison. @TheJusticeDept

@TheJusticeDept It's very oddly worded. It appears to me that someone in the IC got information from someone outside of the IC and that is being withheld from Congress.
So apparently aware that the Congress was not in the loop, a member of the IC filed a proper whistle-blower complaint that

was reviewed by the IC IG who found it "credible and urgent." Trump's people are stonewalling it from Congress.

So to sum: A spook got a tip, it went to ODNI with the tip and the ODNI did not rule it was outside of Congressional purview but the whistle-blower complaint is

being withheld. Presumably at the direction of the White House in violation of the IC Whistle-Blower statute.

So who was the tipster and what was the tip? Perhaps
somebody got wind that someone was burning the former Kremlin asset we learned this week? Who knows?

CIA allowing a former high level clandestine service officer Joseph Augustyn from defector op center to speak publicly on @maddow tells me something big is up. Are they trying to get the message out? I think this may be connected to the Schiff Subeona.

Two top levels of SCI are anything to do with nukes, and our NOCS. Defectors can sometimes lead to them.

Here is the 1949 law that authorizes the CIA to allow up to 100 people per year to come to the US and be resettled and protected.
