The transcript is critical — but don't miss the other bombshell that broke in the past hour. The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) referred a criminal complaint to the DOJ in August to investigate whether Trump's actions on the call broke campaign finance laws.
The Justice Department decided last week NOT to open a formal investigation into Trump for potentially violating campaign finance laws, according to my colleagues @evanperez and @davidgshortell.
Remember: The DOJ's criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton and her email server all began with.... a referral from the Intelligence Community Inspector General. (ICIG) That referral led to a lengthy investigation, the Comey press conference and, later, the Comey letter.

THREAD: We all follow the big legal cases that entangle A-list celebrities and influential government officials. But sometimes you can learn even more from the cases that almost no one is watching. Here's one incredible example from a hearing today in DC federal court.
The two-hour detention hearing touched on just about everything.... the criminal justice system, our current political climate, social media, severe mental illness issues, the health care system in this country, ad so much more.
A man in his 20s was charged with 18 U.S.C. § 871, threatening to kill the President of the United States. He posted these violent threats on Facebook, including: "Make America Great Again, kill Donald Trump" and also "Donald J. Trump, I am going to kill you for my flag."

MINI-THREAD: Trump continued spreading misinformation today about why Russia was kicked out of the G8. He said it was because Putin "outsmarted" Obama and that Obama was angry... so he kicked Russia out of the G8.
Here's the real reason the G8 countries gave in 2014: "We... reaffirm our support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence ... International law prohibits the acquisition of part or all of another state’s territory through coercion or force."
It was called the "Hague Declaration," and it was signed by the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union. You can read the statement here: obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-offi…

Trump today repeated his desire for Russia to rejoin the G7. Remember: The US, UK, EU, Germany, Japan, etc. kicked Russia out in 2014 because Putin invaded and annexed Crimea. Russia is still holding onto Crimea today. Yet, Trump wants Russia back in this prestigious group.
Trump said, “I guess President Obama -- because Putin outsmarted him -- President Obama thought it wasn’t a good thing to have Russia in, so he wanted Russia out." (h/t @betsy_klein)
@betsy_klein Not only has Russia held onto Crimea since 2014... they also (1) Militarily intervened in Syria to help Assad, (2) interfered in the 2016 US election, (3) used chemical weapons on British soil, (4) violated the INF treaty. Yet, Trump is insistent that he wants Russia in the G8.

ICIG Admission Of Whistleblower Changes Raises Explosive New Questions thefederalist.com/2019/10/01/int…
On Monday, the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) admitted that it did alter its forms and policies governing whistleblower complaints, and that it did so in response to the anti-Trump complaint filed on Aug. 12, 2019.
While many in the media falsely claimed the ICIG’s stunning admission debunked The Federalist’s report, the admission from the ICIG completely affirmed the reporting on the secretive change to whistleblower rules following the filing of an anti-Trump complaint in August.

The IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson’s role in the Pre-Planned Coup Against President Trump theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/09/27/ici…
"The “Ukraine Whistleblower” event was a pre-planned event. There is now evidence surfacing showing the ICIG recently created an entirely new ‘whistleblower complaint form’ that specifically allowed for the filing of complaints “heard from others“."
"Prior to the current “whistleblower complaint” the Intel Community IG did not accept whistle-blower claims without 1st hand knowledge. However, the ICIG revised the protocol in August 2019 allowing for the EXACT type of complaint now registered from the CIA whistleblower."

New from me: What happens when an intelligence official blows the whistle on the president? The Whistleblower protection law never contemplated a scenario in which the DNI would completely withhold a complaint that the inspector general had deemed “urgent” politico.com/story/2019/09/…
The fact that Acting DNI Maguire is now trying to usurp the IG’s sole authority to determine whether this whistleblower’s complaint is both credible and matter of urgent concern “is a body blow to the intelligence community inspector general’s independence,” says @mcculloughirvin
Maguire essentially gave DOJ the final word on this when he got them involved, per @thejimbaker. “Now that DOJ has opined, that’s the law for the executive branch. As a technical matter, the inspector general has to fall in line.” He appeared to do that today before HPSCI.
