Of this allegation in the Intel Community whistleblower complaint, a former director on the national security council tells me:

“There is no way to overstate what an egregious violation and misapplication of the codeword system this complaint highlights. ...
2/“... This is a repository for our nation’s most closely-guarded intelligence. It is sacrosanct. ...
3/“... Choosing to place information there which typically should exist in, what is referred to as The Portal, clearly showcases an intent to use the close-hold and limited-access characteristics of the code word system to restrict access to this information without cause...
4/“... and serves no legitimate intelligence purpose. Never in my tenure on the national security council did we ever even consider this as an option.”

While the House Democratic Caucus was moving forward on an impeachment inquiry, the GOP-led Senate passed a resolution that the Intel Community whistleblower complaint be turned over asap to the House & Senate Intel Committees. 1/
2/ Sponsored by Minority Leader @SenSchumer the bill passed by "unanimous consent," meaning no one objected to it. Here's the link:

Afghan Security forces (@NDSAfghanistan) report: “Afghan Special Forces killed 6 Al-Qaeda terrorists embedded within a Taliban unit in their hideout in Musa Qala, Helmand.”

That’s pretty significant for those following the peace talks: AQ embedded with the Taliban.
2/ As @barbarastarrcnn notes, this comes just 2 weeks after President Trump rescinded the Camp David invitation to the Taliban; under those now-terminated talks the Taliban had pledged to end their support for Al Qaeda.
3/ More Starr: “US and Afghan forces Sunday night engaged in an hours long battle against Al Qaeda forces in Helmand province that the US says were being sheltered and supported by the Taliban. Both US and Afghan ground forces were wounded in the battle.”

1/ Anatomy of a smear: progressive activist
@AdamGreen posts on Sept 13, at a reception for the Congressional Black Caucus annual legislative conference, video of @IlhanMN dancing:

@AdamGreen @IlhanMN 2/ The president of the United States RTs the lie to his 64.4 million followers that she was dancing on the anniversary of 9/11. It's completely false, it's a smear, and no doubt it raises security issues.

@AdamGreen @IlhanMN 3/ Is there really no one in the @WhiteHouse, no one in the
@GOP, who sees that this is indecent and unacceptable behavior?

I'm confused why WH counsel & DOJ were giving input on a whistleblower complaint that implicated the WH & the AG instead of it going to Congress immediately.
If the law says DNI "shall" submit such a complaint to Congress, why is WH counsel & DOJ advising on it? It's a national security issue.
Again, the DNI was refusing to give the confidential whistleblower complaint to Congress for Congress to decide whether further action was necessary. That's an attempt to coverup the complaint. The law instructs the complaint be handed over to authority of Congress.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (15 – 21 September)

1. Time for another edition of the news from last week that the legacy media buried or obfuscated because the stories don’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. For starters, let’s look at some more good economic news that will NEVER see the light of day on the likes of CNN or MSNBC:

2A. [T]he Census Bureau released its report on the nation’s income, poverty, and health-insurance coverage for 2018.

9-11 was a “terrorist” attack, but it was not perpetrated by “angry Arabs”, it was a State-sponsored “inside job”, a “false flag” operation planned, executed, and covered up by elements of the USG and operatives from at least two other countries.
The alleged 19 Arab “hijackers” were “patsies”, several are still alive, several were under the care and feeding of USG operatives and were being “trained” at CIA-operated flight schools.
FBI field agents who discovered the plot were told by their superiors not to investigate the “suspicious Arabs in flight schools”
