Group of abt 90 former national-security officials who served under DEM & GOP presidents, incl Trump, released public letter calling on govt & media to preserve #whistleblower’s anonymity, saying indiv used channels created under fed law to register concerns of wrongdoing.
"A responsible whistleblower makes all Americans safer by ensuring that serious wrongdoing can be investigated and addressed, thus advancing the cause of national security to which we have devoted our careers,” the joint letter ....
... whose signatories include former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, several former intelligence-agency chiefs and former ambassadors, states. “Being a responsible whistleblower means that, by law, one is protected from certain egregious forms of retaliation.”
Letter is mentioned in tonight's @WSJ article:

Attorneys for CIA Officer Behind Trump Complaint Say They Now Represent ‘Multiple Whistleblowers’ wsj.com/articles/attor…
@WSJ The letter should be available here:

1/WHISTLEBLOWER NEWS ALERT THREAD ON ALLEGED "BIAS":

In light of the ongoing efforts to mischaracterize whistleblower #1's alleged "bias" in order to detract from the substance of the complaint, we will attempt to clarify some facts.
2/First, our client has never worked for or advised a political candidate, campaign, or party.
3/Second, our client has spent their entire government career in apolitical, civil servant positions in the Executive Branch.

1/On @FoxNews last night @IngrahamAngle said of me in my #whistleblower case: "His lawyer Mark Zaid who's represented Schumer and Hillary by the way." 

To use coined phrase: FAKE NEWS!

Let's explore. Because, seriously, facts matter.

foxnews.com/transcript/rep…
2/To be clear, at no time have I ever represented Senator Schumer or Secretary Clinton. Ever. Never.
3/No doubt @IngrahamAngle's folks completely confused & conflated me w/my co-counsel @AndrewBakaj.

Andrew - when he was 19/20 & in college - interned w/ Senators Schumer & Clinton. Almost 20 years ago.

I worked for UK Tory Govt when I was 20. What actually does that reveal?

How Obama’s team set up Trump’s Syrian dilemma nypost.com/2019/10/08/how… via @nypost
‘It’s bats- -t crazy,” Susan Rice said Monday on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” The former national security adviser, who served under President Barack Obama, was referring to President Trump’s decision to pull US troops from northern Syria.
She was particularly dismayed by what she depicted as a dangerous betrayal of The People’s Protection Units, also known as the YPG, the Kurdish force that helped the US-led coalition ­defeat Islamic State.

1/16 It has begun. The GOP is spinning that the sole transcript Trump says he will release is more important than the #WhistleblowerComplaint as a tactic to insist everything should ride on this one supposed piece of evidence.

#ImpeachTrump #ImpeachmentParty #UkraineTranscript
2/16 All reports indicate this was a months-long conspiracy Trump and Giuliani were engaged in, subverting & bypassing officials who tried to stop them.

A single call does not BEGIN to give an accurate depiction of the events that lead up to this. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
3/16 And Trump already has a shady history with releasing information.

Forget the obvious like his tax returns, school grades, and secret meetings with Putin.

Actually, a reminder of those secret meetings:

Trump giving Barr power to declassify intelligence risks burning a source very close to Putin nyti.ms/30IKX2r
Trump’s order allowing Attorney General William P. Barr to declassify any intelligence that sparked the opening of the Russia investigation sets up a potential confrontation with the CIA . . .
. . . including over the possible implications for a person close to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia who provided information to the CIA about his involvement in Moscow’s 2016 election interference.

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

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
