Trump attacking a whistleblower who was promised protection from retaliation by the acting DNI >>>
Here's the part of the DNI's Sept. 17 letter when his top counsel says "we will not permit the complainant to be subject ot any retaliation or adverse consequence" for filing the complaint with the IG.
Also worth emphasizing: Trump (whose White House knows at least some elements of the whistleblower complaint) seems to be confirming that he knows exactly which phone conversation it refers to and even recalls his tone during that conversation.
Trump and allies now priming supporters to view whistleblower -- deemed credible by a Trump-appointed IG -- as an Obama partisan:

!! Trump told Russians in the Oval Office he didn’t care about Russian interference in 2016 because the US did it to other countries — so WH officials buried the record of the meeting.

What’s not clear in this incredible story: Did Mueller know? washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Reminder: McMaster said “nothing inappropriate” happened in this meeting. washingtonexaminer.com/mcmaster-trump…

NEWS: The mystery of House Intel's missing 53 Russia probe transcripts has been solved.

SCHIFF told colleagues the White House "hijacked" the long-awaited release when it demanded to screen them for privileged material. It's led to a year-long standoff.

politico.com/story/2019/09/…
Schiff says he's preparing to release 45 of the 53 transcripts anyway because they've already been reviewed for classified material -- but the remaining eight will be held up indefinitely because of the White House's insistence it get a privilege review. politico.com/story/2019/09/…
Credit to @Olivia_Gazis for revealing the White House’s role in this in May. Now we know how many transcripts are at issue and what the committee plans to do about it:

I hope Acting DNI Maguire takes the Dems to the woodshed.
Schiff sounds like his favorite Standard Hotel was just shut down.
Has there ever been a time when Nunes didn't speak in red pills?

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.

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
