The whistleblower complaint is released...💥
"I have received information from multiple U.S. Government officials that the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit information from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election." ~ Whistleblower, August 12, 2019
"Ukranian leadership was led to believe that a meeting or phone call between the President and President Zelensky would depend on on whether Zelensky showed willingness to "play ball" on the issues that had been publicly aired by Mr.Lutsenko and Mr.Guiliani."

An interesting thing happened last night
A number of NYC groups came together #UnitedInOutrage to protest Trump
We arrived in Bryant Park & guess who else came
Trump supporters
With a tall Trump 2020 flag flying high

The Organizers couldn't stop Trump supporters from showing up
We were Marching from Bryant Park to Washington Sq Park. The organizers were obviously focused on a peaceful protest. There was a very strong police presence probably in case of any issues between the 2 groups. I'm an avg American whos upset about Trump but I don't want violence
I don't want violence but I also don't want to be dissuaded from having a voice
Democracy dies in silence
When the March started our organizers held us back & let the Trump supporters go first
The obvious thing to do to avoid violence is to separate the groups & let them go first

The Ukraine issue is being conflated with other critical issues
I want each reporter to hammer home to every GOP Senator/Congressman the following key points

First, will they declare these High Crimes & Misdemeanors IF Trump used Aid to pressure the Ukraine to get Oppo research
Second, are you willing to support Impeachment Inquiries IF Trump continues to Obstruct Congress from obtaining the truth about Ukraine?

Third, are you concerned with Trumps interference/persecution of Whistleblowers & if so will you join the call for Impeachment Inquiries?
Fourth, if you support Trumps attacks on Joe Bidens last surviving son why do you look the other way when the Intelligence Community has mysteriously dropped numerous investigations into Trumps own kids. Will you support calls for FULL investigations into Ivanka, Don Jr & Eric?

Anything else magats?

"In the course of my official duties, I have received information from multiple U.S. Government officials that the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election."
This interference includes, among other things, pressuring a foreign country to inv one of the Pres’s main domestic political rivals. The President’s personal lawyer, Mr. Rudolph Giuliani, is a central figure in this effort. Attorney General Barr appears to be involved as well.
There is no question that Barr must recuse himself immediately or resign, and Rudy needs to be brought to justice and disbarred. Period.

So, I have to say this is fascinating, and I have to recommend that every American citizen read through what is alleged here.

That said, I think it unlikely to change minds in the long run, and while I don't want to get too political here, I want to discuss why.

#Whistleblower
First and foremost, the sourcing here is odd.
There is certainly nothing wrong with gathering information and consolidating it, but it *is* odd for a #whistleblower to have *NO* direct knowledge.

Who is this person? Do they represent this group of actors? Why didn't they ask someone with knowledge to report?

Whistleblower complaint

More than six US officials informed him/her the president of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 US election

Not all new, but still mind boggling to read
intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
"To the best of my knowledge the entirety of this statement is unclassified when separated from the classified enclosure" 👀
intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/…
For the years @PortlusGlam has diligently researched and reported on Rudy Giuliani to try to expose his activities in Ukraine on behalf of Trump, his own personal interests, and for foreign governments, the news breaking now includes a fraction of her work

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.
