#FollowTheFacts: Trump tried to coerce a foreign leader to make up dirt on his opponent and interfere in our election, was caught by a #whistleblower’s “urgent concern” complaint to Congress, but moved key evidence to a secret server in the #CoverUpOfTheCoverUp.
The #whistleblower used an Office of Director of National Intelligence form dni.gov/files/ICIG/Doc… to convey the Ukraine matter of “urgent concern” to Congress

PAGE 1 anticipates the complaint could go to Congress

PAGE 2 anticipates #hearsay
(“I heard about it from others.”)
So when you see protests from Donald Trump’s enablers of this #CoverUpOfTheCoverUp, do not follow them down the rabbit hole - #FollowTheFacts and remind them that whistleblower complaints go to Congress and that Congress expects they may begin as #hearsay.

@blakesmustache @cspan Indeed. Having been a prosecutor dealing with grand and petit (12 person) juries, I’m expecting the Judiciary Committee to collect evidence before listing the charges. OBSTRUCTION EMOLUMENTS
and NATIONAL SECURITY have been topics they investigate and litigate. #FollowTheFacts
@blakesmustache @cspan Anyone who participated in a grand jury or in a felony preliminary hearing presents the facts from an inspector and the live witnesses themselves. Although only an inspector is required in CA (with the case file being hearsay), we used live witnesses to test their credibility....
@blakesmustache @cspan ... and to let defendants know that the witness was going to show up. My cases were domestic violence and sex assault so witness intimidation was REAL and sometimes we added tampering charges against defendants. Here, Mueller was the Inspector not a live witness. We need both!

Respectfully @Rosbake1 I’ve known Kamala Harris since law school — your analysis is flat wrong. Having manners is different than leaving people behind. Harris has excellent courtroom demeaner yet never yielded to old bull judges; I doubt she’d yield to old bull segregationists.
Do lawyers and Congresspeople have to exhibit manners and *civility*? Of course! But the key issue here is when you make the deals - in the courtroom where 98% of cases settle without trial or in the Congress where all must compromise - did you leave people behind? Kamala didn’t.
The analysis isn’t therefore “would you be civil to segregationists?” but “would you leave people behind in cutting a legislative deal with segregationists? Would you find common cause with them to specifically leave people behind?” Answers for the Kamala I know: No and no.

🚨BREAKING: #Whistleblower complaint is released, showing that @realDonaldTrump and his cronies–Rudy Giuliani and AG Bill Barr–abused the power of his office to EXTORT #Ukraine.

And then they tried to COVER IT UP.🤬

@realDonaldTrump Here's a link to the FULL #whistleblower complaint.

washingtonpost.com/context/read-t…
@realDonaldTrump The #whistleblower reports an "urgent concern" that @POTUS is "using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 US election...Rudolph Giuliani is a central figure in this effort. AG Barr appears to be involved as well."🔥

Did Trump promise to tell Putin the identity(ies) of one or more US spies?

“Trump’s interaction w/ the foreign leader included a ‘promise’ that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. IC to file a formal whistleblower complaint...” 1/ #Whistleblower
“At some point on July 31, President Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/… 2/

🔥So the #Whistleblower complaint involves UKRAINE... But was the conversation with Putin⁉️⁉️washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Remember this⁉️
🔥The good news is that if Trump was promising arms to Ukraine for election help on dirt on Biden, @RudyGiuliani would be implicated 👏

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

Shane Harris being one of the imbeciles who promoted the russian spy in DC story, promotes muh Russia, etc
2) Here is the archived link to the WaPo article, because fuck your paywalls and your couches.

3) "The whistleblower complaint... involves President Trump’s communications with a foreign leader, according to two former U.S. officials familiar with the matter." TWO FORMER OFFICIALS FAMILIAR WITH THE MATTER! DRINK!

Whistleblower Complaint Reportedly Involved Trump's Pledge To A Foreign Leader

The acting director of national intelligence has refused to hand over the complaint to Congress. The former director, Dan Coats, left last month.

H/T @HowleyReporter m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5d…
"Is anybody dumb enough to believe that I would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially 'heavily populated' call," Trump tweeted. hill.cm/KEzl3gY
Interesting Thread into Trump Whistleblower ....
