Trump-Zelensky call is heart of impeachment case. So Suffolk/USAT asked: In your view, is call a) impeachable offense; b) wrong, but not impeachable; or c) nothing wrong? Results: Impeachable 38% wrong, not impeachable 21% nothing wrong 31%. 1/3 ow.ly/BySZ50wXctk
Results like that could be why now, just as they did after Mueller report release, Dems hope televised hearings will convince Americans Trump must be impeached. Have to turn it into TV show people will watch. 2/3 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
Link: New poll poses serious questions about Dem impeachment drive. 3/3 End. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

Does Trump-Ukraine whistleblower have a right to anonymity? If so, does that right outweigh the public's right to know salient facts in proceeding to impeach and remove the president? 1/9 ow.ly/WiYF50wKCxW
Answer to first question is yes. Answer to second question is no, that right does not outweigh other rights in an impeachment battle. Three reasons whistleblower should be publicly identified: 2/9 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editor…
1) The public has a right to know. This isn't mid-level bureaucrat calling out abuse of government credit card. There is no higher public concern than possible removal of president. 3/9 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editor…

House Democrats are holding impeachment inquiry interviews in secret. Say secrecy is needed to protect identity of whistleblower. 'The whistleblower has the right in the statute to remain anonymous,' said Schiff, citing ICWPA. 1/4 ow.ly/3nWV50wEGJe
In fact, law says: 'The inspector general shall not disclose the identity of the employee without the consent of the employee, unless the inspector general determines that such disclosure is unavoidable during the course of the investigation...' 2/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
The doesn't sound like a rock-solid right to remain anonymous. Now, whistleblower is in middle of impeachment proceeding. 3/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

The Intelligence Community Inspector General's explanation of its whistleblower form is a confusing, ass-covering mess. 1/12 ow.ly/FoOA50wyu7S
ICIG says Trump-Russia whistleblower complaint was 'processed and reviewed...in accordance with the law.' Fine. Issue addressed in ICIG explanation is what policy on first- versus second-hand information was at the time. 2/12
ICIG says it gave whistleblower a procedures form saying in order to find urgent concern 'credible,' complainant must have 'reliable, first-hand information.' Without that, ICIG 'will not be able to process the complaint.' 3/12

@charliekirk11 "The Inspector General shall not disclose the identity of the employee … unless he determines such disclosure is unavoidable during the course of the investigation ..."
He is the only official specifically prohibited from identifying the #whistleblower.

@charliekirk11 I’ve suggested that #AlexanderVindman’s twin brother #YevgenyVindman aka #EugeneVindman is the primary #Whistleblower.

Former US @SpecRepUkraine #KurtVolker provided testimony to the #HouseIntelligenceCommittee on Oct 3.

He contradicted several of the claims of the #WhistleblowerComplaint at the center of the Democrat's #ImpeachmentInquiry of President Trump. (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/ukraine-envoys…
Volker told lawmakers he did not partake in urging #Ukraine to investigate @JoeBiden.

The testimony directly contradicted a hearsay claim in the anonymous #WhistleblowersComplaint suggesting that #Volker and the @USAmbEU, #GordonSondland engaged with Ukrainian officials to…
…help them handle Trump’s request to investigate #Biden.

“[At] no time was I aware of or took part in an effort to urge Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Biden,” Volker said. scribd.com/document/42877…

Oh my Godness… le directeur du renseignement national #Maguire aurait, selon le @washingtonpost, menacé #Trump de démissionner s'il ne le laissait pas transmettre des infos sur le signal du lanceur d'alerte au Congrès demain (comme il le doit par la loi). washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
@washingtonpost 2) Cette nouvelle info est très importante même si elle est (évidemment) niée par la Maison Blanche.Elle démontre que #Maguire, qui est 1 intérimaire nommé par #Trump durant l'été, et a été contraint de bloquer la transmission de l'alerte au Congrès ne veut plus "jouer" davantage
@washingtonpost 3) Pour la 1ère fois, si on en croit le @washingtonpost (mais ils sont pas mauvais ces derniers temps, hein?), 1 officiel de l'appareil d'Etat de #Trump semble prêt à lâcher la barre si on le force à ne pas remplir ces devoirs légaux. Signe d'1 1er lâchage façon Watergate?

😨Ex CIA Bob Baer suggests the “urgent credible threat” in the whistleblower complaint (that DNI won’t give Congress) ”usually” has something to do w/ someone in White House setting up an illegal backchannel to a foreign govt, or some sort of corruption, discovered by CIA or NSA.
🚨>> Whistleblower complaint involves TRUMP’S communications with a foreign leader that included a “promise” regarded so troubling it prompted an official in the US intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
In the weeks before the “urgent & credible” whistleblower complaint about Trump’s “promise” to a foreign leader, he had interactions with:
1) Russia’s Putin that WH initiated
2) 2 “beautiful” letters from North Korea’s Kim Jong Un
3) Pakistan’s PM
4) Netherlands’ PM
5) Qatar emir
