WaPo with a story on Schiff's showdown with the acting director of national intelligence over a whistleblower complaint that is being withheld from the intelligence committee.
Through a spokesperson ODNI is claiming that it is "committed to fully complying with the law and upholding whistleblower protections and have done so here.” 🤔
According to the story, the whistleblower "once worked on the staff of the White House National Security Council, which frequently borrows intelligence community personnel."

No sourcing for that though.

House Intelligence Committee has released the two letters it received from the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

Sept. 9 (alerting the committee to the existence of the complaint): intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
Sept. 17: intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
IC Inspector General told @RepAdamSchiff that:

The "subject matter involved in the complainant’s disclosure not only falls within the DNI’s jurisdiction, but relates to one of the most significant and important of the DNI’s responsibilities to the American people.”

According to @RepAdamSchiff, a whistleblower lodged an urgent complaint about wrongdoing within the Intelligence Community. intelligence.house.gov/news/documents…
The acting director of national intelligence (Coats stepped down and Ratcliffe flamed out), a man named Joseph Maguire, was required to share the whistleblower's complaint with the congressional intelligence committees.
"The Acting DNI was required by statute to submit the complaint to the congressional intelligence committees more than 10 days – but he refuses to do so," Schiff says.

Has a commercial real estate expert ever evaluated the Letter of Intent for Trump Tower Moscow to see if it's normal for this kind of thing? cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2018/image…
Under its terms, "the Trump Organization stood to earn substantial sums over the lifetime of the project, without assuming significant liabilities or financing commitments," according to the Mueller report.
Including "a $4 million "up-front fee" prior to groundbreaking."

This is beyond troubling.

The whistleblower who heard Trump's conversation with an unknown foreign leader was so alarmed that they put their career on the line to take a complaint to the inspector general for the U.S. intelligence community. 1/5 #Whistleblower #ThursdayThoughts
The IG who received it, Michael Atkinson, seeing that Trump's interaction with a foreign leader included a promise that the whistleblower found alarming, also found it to be "urgent" & "concerning,"

He took it to the acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire. 2/5
Acting DNI Joseph Maguire was "alarmed" to the point that he REFUSED to share details with Congress and make himself, by all appearances, look like he's protecting Trump.

The IG was alarmed that the DNI didn't give info to the House Intel committee. 3/5

The #Whistleblower could well blow the lid off three-plus years of Trump/Russia shenanigans and expose Trump as the traitor he is, for all the world to see.

Let’s break it down:

[THREAD]
1/ Per reports, the whistleblower reported on a “promise” Trump made to a “foreign leader” on the phone. The only foreign leader of consequence Trump spoke to on the phone in the relevant timeframe is—mirabile dictu—Vladimir Putin.
2/ Putin must realize that Trump is on thin ice, that impeachment is coming, that even Russian cyber-sabotage can’t make him win an election he loses by 8 million popular votes. If Vova wants any more juice, the time to squeeze the orange is now.

The acting Director of National Intelligence's refusal to forward a whistleblower complaint to the House Intelligence Committee may be the biggest story in politics r.n. It's potentially HUGE. Why? Because it's a) documented + b) strikes VERY close to Trump himself. Thoughts:
1/
We know the misconduct alleged by the unknown Intelligence Community whistleblower involves Trump or someone VERY close to him, for several reasons:
a) The DNI has said he consulted DOJ (in contravention of statute) bec the matter potentially involves executive privilege...
2/
(Executive privilege only applies to the Prez himself and, arguably, very senior aides. Think Don Jr., Kushner, etc.)
