NEW: Watchdog Refuses to Detail #WhistleBlower Complaint About #Trump. In closed meeting w/ House lawmakers, IG wouldn't confirm—or deny—an alarming commitment Trump was said to have made to a world leader nytimes.com/2019/09/19/us/… #NationalSecurity
If Trump didn't make an alarming promise, why is the IG withholding the #whistleblower complaint from Congress? Fact is: Trump has a well-documented pattern of reckless abuse of power putting his financial & political interests above US national security. (Yesterday's THREAD⤵️😱)
🔥Schiff: There is no privilege to conceal #whistleblower report or to be corrupt. Someone above DNI is trying to manipulate the system to keep an urgent matter from Congress. Privilege claim indicates POTUS & WH are involved. We know DOJ is involved. The problem isn’t the law.
🚨CNN confirms Barr’s DOJ and Trump’s WH directed Acting DNI intel chief to withhold from Congress a #Whistleblower complaint about a reported alarming and urgent abuse of power by Trump himself, involving a promise/commitment he made to a foreign leader. Just brazen lawlessness.

💥Trump ordered hold on $400 military aid for Ukraine days before phone call pressuring President Zelensky to investigate Biden’s son. washingtonpost.com/national-secur… #Whistleblower #WhistleblowerComplaint #UkraineExtortion
OMB relayed Trump’s order to hold Ukraine’s military aid to State Dept & Pentagon in mid-July. Officials were instructed to tell lawmakers delays were part of “interagency process” & to give no additional info. Pattern continued for nearly 2 months, until the night of Sept. 11.
🚨Ukrainian President Zelensky told Senator Murphy “directly” that “the aid that was being cut off to Ukraine by the president was a consequence” of Zelensky’s unwillingness to launch investigation into the Bidens. #Whistleblower #WhistleblowerComplaint #Ukraine #UkraineScandal

⚠️🧵If WH releases Ukraine call transcript, beware gaslighting "the likes of which we've never seen." It's Putin's propaganda playbook: Endless confusion & division, turning reality on its head to make truth—& journalism—irrelevant. Clumsy b/c Trump. But it's already claimed GOP.
Watch this chilling BBC clip & you'll recognize Trump's Russian propaganda playbook: Putin made politics a bewildering constantly changing piece of theater to undermine the perception of reality. People can't tell what's true, don't believe their own eyes or journalists' facts./2
Constant shifts make even proven facts FEEL doubtful & confusing. Trump’s already shifted his story from denial to disinformation:
—"fake news story"
—“partisan” whistleblower
—"spy"
—Biden's the "real" story
Except it's not. It's a conspiracy theory smear, contrary to facts. /3

🎯@MalcolmNance on Pompeo’s Meta Narrative Judo: He took the #whistleblower story, pretended it didn’t exist, then reframed it as a criminal conspiracy about Biden. Pompeo’s knee-deep in this. The State Dept reportedly facilitated or coordinated Giuliani’s #Ukraine mission.#AMJoy
Pompeo not only peddled Trump’s disinformation about Biden-Ukraine. He slipped in another false claim, connecting Biden to 2016 election interference. A kitchen-sink of propaganda tactics—obfuscation, conflation, gaslighting—on @ThisWeekABC @MarthaRaddatz
@ThisWeekABC @MarthaRaddatz See what Pompeo did there?
"If Biden intervened [in Ukraine] to protect his son in a corrupt way, we need to get to the bottom… AMERICANS CANNOT HAVE OUR ELECTIONS INTERFERED WITH…If that kind of activity was engaged in by VP Biden, we need to know."

Trump’s interaction with the foreign leader [Putin? MBS?] included a "promise" that was so troubling it prompted a US intelligence community official to file the formal whistleblower complaint that spurred standoff between spy chief and Congress.
#Maddow wapo.st/2kos98a
The whistleblower complaint from the US IC official was filed on Aug 12. White House records show that Trump had conversations with at least 5 foreign leaders in the preceding 5 weeks. Among them was a call with Putin on July 31.

L'info de la nuit US: et le @washingtonpost et le @nytimes rapportent que #Trump fut déjà prévenu des pertes AVANT de donner son feu vert initial à des frappes en #Iran et que l'opération était bien en cours avant son revirement.
washingtonpost.com/politics/i-sto…
nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/…
2) Cette information n'est pas anecdotique: l'#Iran sait désormais que #Trump hésitera toujours à frapper et qu'il y a incontestablement des fractures à l'intérieur de l'administration US autour du président pour savoir comment réagir face aux Iraniens. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
3) Et ce dévoilement d'1 #Trump hésitant, confus construit 1 image de faiblesse face à l'#Iran et d'autres. Selon le quotidien US le plus lu @USATODAY Th. Roosevelt disait: "Parlez doucement et portez 1 gros bâton, vous irez loin". #Trump fait l'inverse. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
